We escaped the blazing August heat and headed for the hills in Villa Eleftherna and we were never disappointed. The Villa is unbelievably well decorated and spacious, Giorgos and his nephew welcomed us personally to show us around (not to be forgotten was the gorgeous gift basket with local items from Giorgos’ farm!) and then we set off on complete relaxation! Somehow the location is just right: very warm but almost always with a light gentle breeze to whisk the heat away. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped for our large family of 6. We were able to unwind for a few days walking around into the village, Museum and (not to be missed again!) Panorama restaurant. After that it’s advisable to rent a car to discover the island or go into Rethmyno (we really enjoyed that town and beach). The pool was a perfect size for us (if you’re not staying in the hottest months I would recommend you ask for the pool to be heated 😉) and the outdoor eating and BBQ/pizza space was 5stars all the way! We fell even deeper in love with Greece while staying here - not only because of the Villa but because of the excellent concierge service they offer, but also the personal touches that Giorgos offers when you see him. I do hope we will be back again! 💙🤍🇬🇷
