We stayed at Casa Elia on 02-16 of July 2019 (2 adults and 3y.o. kid). We enjoyed our stay and we totally agree with other positive reviews on this place. We'd like to add some more things that we appreciated:
- Casa Elia is close to the main street - may be 100 meters or so. But despite of this it is unbelievably quiet place. Once you pass half way from the main street, you won’t hear city noise anymore as if you’ve stepped into a different and very peaceful place. I can’t say that Elounda is a noisy town, not at all. It’s calm and quiet, but anyway – silence at Casa Elia is amazing.
- High ceilings. It can’t be seen on photos, but they seem 3.5-4m or so. Thus the place feels roomy, which is fine.
- Privacy. Alex was very helpful, quickly answered our questions on wa and e-mail, always very polite. He welcomed us on arrival, several times we saw him nearby and a couple of times he and his mother treated us with local dishes (which where delicious I should admit). But we never had a feeling, that the host or other guests are somewhere near. I mean it feels free, relaxing and private in this place which we highly appreciated.
