Villa Eleonas is an absolutely beautiful villa nestled among olive and fruit trees in a mountainous historic village. Costis and his whole family treated us to an unforgettable stay which began with savory appetizers made by his Grandparents and some local wine. We felt immediately embraced by their warm Cretan hospitality which continued our entire stay- culminating in our children meeting the neighborhood kittens and a parting gift of ‘Mountain Tea.’
The Villa itself is gorgeous; has everything you need and has a beautiful pool and patio.
It is situated in a lovingly tended garden full of flowering trees, shrubs and plants.
A cafe, restaurant and mini mart are right around the corner. We enjoyed exploring the village by foot and meeting the friendly locals.
There are hikes all around the village and beyond including one to see the chapel of the black Madonna. This I highly recommend.
Villa Eleonas was the high point of our vacation - we can’t wait to visit again!
