INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA

Villa Nikolaos is located in the picturesque village of Archea Eleftherna (Ancient Eleftherna), in Rethymno Prefecture. For those who love the quietness, strolling, the nature and the genuine Cretan landscape, this villa is an exceptional choice.

The village is located on a high hill, surrounded by the main archaeological site of the prefecture which with the newly built museum of Ancient Eleftherna are worth a visit for discovering and feeling the ancient history of the area.

Access by car is easy to most parts of the island, for example Chania, Heraklion, Sfakia, Anogeia, Nida, Knossos, Faistos and the southern coast beaches, that are many and beautiful. The road network is excellent and passes through some of the most beautiful and still attached landscapes in Crete. Particularly we recommend the visit in the southern coasts, via the very green province of Amari via Arkadi, Thronos, Meronas, Gerakari, and Spili etc.

Amazing holiday
Lovely farmhouse, garden, and pool. Very friendly and welcoming owners. Amazing outlook down the ravine, with beautiful sunsets. Huge advantage being just a 2-minute walk from the village taverna, which is very good. The village location does mean close proximity to neighbours, including another rental villa with pool, so there might be noise, depending on the group staying there. But overall the location has far more pros than cons, and the property feels private because of the mature garden. The sites of ancient Eleftherna are within easy walking distance. Make sure you watch a sunset from the Byzantine tower. Would very happily stay here again. A beautiful place.

A wonderful place
This is a super place to stay, if you are looking for a peaceful location. The villa is very well appointed, and the gardens and pool are just super. The village is lovely, and the local taverna extremely welcoming.

Gorgeous villa with stunning views
We loved our stay at the villa. The pool and garden area were gorgeous. We loved swimming in the pool which wasn't too chilly. For two people there was lots of space, it would be perfect for families too. Gorgeous upstairs terrace which we didn't end up using that much as the garden and pool area was so nice. In general a peaceful setting, in a small village away from other tourists. We went in May which was a perfect time of year, nice and warm but not too hot and seemed quite quiet on the island overall. Incredible views of the mountains which were still covered in snow. We'd definitely return.

Fantastic views in a quiet retreat
This is an amazing property with beautiful roses in the garden, a very private pool area with a scenic view. The taverna in the village (50m away) was very nice and served tasty food. The villa owner was really helpful too.
