Villa Eleana is lovely. Huge with a great pool in a quiet village in the mountains. The villa itself is very clean and spacious with plenty of places to sit and look at the awesome mountain views.
We spent a wonderful fortnight staying here and provided you have a car it is a perfect base from which to explore the towns, villages and beaches of both sides of Crete.
Obviously the island is fantastic and you can find both places with plenty to do and out of the way beaches within half an hour’s drive of the villa.
We loved it and have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.
