We are happy to have booked Elia Village House for our vacation this year. The place looked beautiful in the pictures, it was stunning in reality! The house is wonderfully decorated and remodelled with much care in all its details and manages to satisfy both the particular architectural style in stone as well as the modern comfort. The kitchen is perfectly equipped (and the fridge was generously filled up at our arrival!), nevertheless the little village offers great dinner possibilities and a lovely café/bar as well. We enjoyed so much the peacefulness, the privacy and the great view from the terrace it was difficult for us to leave the place. The house is perfectly located for visiting both north and south Crete and for day trips to the sightseeing highlights of east Crete (such as Chrissi island, Ierapetra, Malia, Vai, Gorge of the Dead, Sarakina Gorge, Myrtos etc). What made a real difference though, was the genuine hospitality of Eirini, her friends and family, who made us feel part of the community and embraced us like old friends. The house with its architecture and decoration, the charming traditional village and the warm hospitality allowed us to realise and appreciate the wild beauty of the Cretan landscape. We would choose to stay here at any time visiting Crete again and we would highly recommend it to everyone seeking a unique accommodation on the island. Eirini, a big hug from both of us to all of you, thank you for everything. We hope to see you again soon!
