Fabulous villa in beautiful countryside

We chose this villa because we were attracted to the lovely looking garden, and we weren't disappointed - the sweet smelling jasmine, fruit bushes, an array of lovey colours, and of course the gnarled old olive trees which remind us that our time here is short in comparison. The villa is spacious and comfortable, and provides all the amenities that we needed.. The welcome basket was a delightful addition - so lovely to eat produce grown by the hosts. We had the fresh fruit with local honey and yogurt, and made salads to take to the beach, with the tomatoes and cucumbers and the delicious olive oil. Good hot showers, luxurious towels, quiet location, all added to the enjoyment of the villa. The village is charming and full of character with an excellent selection of restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the vegan Green Kukunari.

Villa Elia

We enjoyed our holiday in villa Elia. The owners are very nice and helpful. The villa is near the village of Pitsidia which is a traditional Cretan village with some nice tavernas - we recommend Mike's Taverna for excellent vegetarian cuisine. The beach at Matala and Kommos are both very nice and the villa is only a short drive from the ancient site of Phaistos. All in all a lovely break. The Dwek-Slater family

traumhaft schön - Kreta im Frühling ist immer eine Reise wert!

wir wurden in der wunderschönen Villa herzlich willkommen geheißen inkl. einer Erstausstattung mit Obst, Gemüse und Getränken. Das Grundstück ist wunderschön angelegt und es gibt alle erdenklichen Küchenkräuter zur freien Verfügung, Zitronenbäume und ein Gemüsebeet, welches natürlich noch nicht erntebereit war (Ende März), im Sommer aber mit Toaten und Co. aufwarten wird. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und das Bad ist super schön. In der Küche sind alle wichtigten Utensilien vorhanden inkl. Reinigungszubehör und auch Salz, Zucker, Tee u.s.w. Es waren mehr als ausreichend Handtücher und Bettwäsche vorhanden. Fazit: wir reisen seit 20 Jahren ausschließlich als Selbstversorger durch Europa und haben schon viele Häuser und Appatments gemietet. Die Villa Elia gehört ab jetzt zu unseren Favoriten und wir werden ganz bestimmt wieder kommen. Maria & Xenophon sind herzliche Gastgeber und überraschen mit lieben Aufmerksamkeiten. Nochmals vielen Dank dass wir Eure Gäste sein durften

Kleines entspanntes Paradies

Wir waren mit 2 Paaren dort und haben die Zeit und die Gastfreundschaft sehr genossen. Das Haus, der Garten und der private Pool tragen sehr zu einer vollständigen Entspannung bei. Der fußläufig zu erreichende Dorfplatz in Pitsidia ist einfach nur schön und nicht überlaufen. Ein tolles Dorf im Süden Kretas. Wir kommen wieder.

Super séjour en famille dans la région de Matala

Villa, très bien équipée , idéalement située à 10 minutes de la magnifique plage de Kommos . Piscine très agréable au cœur d'un jardin d'agrumes et d'herbes aromatiques, un cadre idéal qui pousse au farniente sous les oliviers. Un grand merci à Maria & Xénophon pour leur gentillesse !
