“Villa Elaida Crete”
I booked Villa Elaida for my 50th birthday and cannot find a bad word to say about it.The villa itself is stunning. The photos on the website do not do it justice. The attention to detail is amazing. The owner and letting managers could not be more helpful and the holiday was incredible. Valia the lettings manager put me in contact with a local chef Kostas who came to the villa to cook my birthday dinner and the experience and food were wonderful. She also put me in touch with the car hire people at Heraklion Best Cars who arranges 3 hire cars that was the most smooth and organised car hiring I’ve ever done! The pool area was fantastic. There’s a pool table, table tennis table, basketball court/volleyball court and a wonderful jacuzzi. The sun beds are great quality and a bbq area with both wood burner pizza oven and bbq. The inside is just as high spec. Wonderful spacious rooms each with their own bathroom. They came and cleaned and changed the sheets and towels mid week and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. A five star experience from start to finish

“Prachtige villa voor een familie/vrienden vakantie. Veel leefruimte in en om het huis met prachtige tuin en zwembad!”
Vanuit Villa Elaida zijn op loopafstand in het dorpje Perama winkels . Om naar het dichtbij zijnde strand te gaan heb je wel een auto nodig. Ong. 15-20 minuten rijden. Het huis was helemaal compleet.… More

“Mrs”
Heaven on earth is so apt...thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay. 14 adults and 1 child but didn't feel in each other's pockets as villa so spacious. Each room is so big and very clean. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner. We got locked out on one occasion and within minutes the owner arrived after me contacting him. We also received a lovely hamper on arrival. Also to note is the great barbecue area which also includes a pizza oven...amazing. It's up a bit of a steep hill but definitely worth the walk as views beautiful. Also got to mention how friendly and accommodating the locals are, even getting given their homemade beverages...wow. Overall wonderful week in a truly wonderful place. Don't change anything.

“A Hidden Gem”
My wife and I booked for our family and friends 18 people in total, 11 Adults and 7 children. This villa is an absolute gem and is a fantastic holiday location for all ages. It is in rural Crete in the Rethmynon Prefecture. The villa is spotlessly clean with service midweek to change linen and towels etc. The rooms are very large and spacious with more than enough room in the villa to still keep 18 people from getting in each other's way. The grounds are immaculate and kept to a very high standard. We were delayed by over 3 hours on the flight out, we were still greeted at 13.00 by the villa manager, we had a welcome hamper of food,water,milk,bread and a couple of bottles of wine to help the family until the morning. The pool area has enough beds to cater for 20 and is kept very clean. The village is at the top of a steep bank, the village is about 300 metres away with a supermarket on your right as you come into the village,you will get everything you need from this shop, we were even given a free ride back to the villa due the amount of food and drink we had to buy for 18 people, which is an experience in itself and great fun, this was not a one off it happened on several occasions. The people are the friendliest and most accomodating I have ever met, there was always a smile and a wave and a helping hand whenever it was needed. It was without a shadow of doubt the most enjoyable of holiday destinations. The taxi company all the party used was Giorgos Michelioudakis, cretantaxiservice@gmail.com they have top of the range cars and mini buses that catered for all our party, very reliable and really friendly, speaking very good English. Giorgos and his team picked the family up from Heraklion airport 57 km from Villa about an hour ride, cost €160.00. Valia I would like to thank you and the team for making our family holiday the most enjoyable of experiences.
