Our stay at Villa Ellie has been fabulous. The villa itself is beautiful, inside and out. The outdoor space is fantastic, the pool is a perfect size. The bbq area was brilliant for bbqs, and to gather round at night when the children were asleep. The park area is brilliant - we stayed with 5 children, all of which thoroughly enjoyed using this. The local village is a 5 minute walk which has a shop, local restaurants etc. The people of the village are so friendly and lovely. Rethymno is approx 10 minutes in a taxi, which is really good for shopping, days at the beach, lots of nice bars etc. The host has been amazing - from enquiring, to the stay, if I ever had a question or an enquiry she replied promptly. 5 star holiday - highly recommend.
