Villa Elizabeth is perfect for everybody who wants to spend relaxing holidays in Crete away from the trouble in the bigger towns but still in very good travel distance to nice beaches, sights, landmarks, restaurants, supermarkets etc.. A car is needed, though.
We recommend it especially to families with small kids who will profit from the various toys provided since they don't have to stuff so many into their suitcases. The villa has a slide, a sling for kids and one for babies, balls, beach toys like shovels&buckets, wooden puzzles, cuddly toys, glove puppets, table tennis and even a huge dumper truck toy. Also the Jacuzzi part of the pool which is more flat is ideal for children. Unfortunately, the water was not so warm any more in October during our stay, but this was no hinderance for some (short) fun in the water.
During hot summers, the property should be ideal since the garden and terrace are almost completelly in the shadows in the afternoon&evening and the rooms don't get warmed up by the sun because they face north and have air condition in addition. In October, we recommend to bring enough pullovers since the nights can get a bit chilly.
Eliza and her parents made our stay there unforgetable by their great care and all the presents like the home-made delicious Pastitio and Greek salat they provided for our first dinner, the honey, olive oil, dried oregano and great Raki that Stelios makes himself and supplied whenever needed and a spontaneous lesson in how to produce honey.
One trip that we would recommend to everybody visiting Villa Elizabeth is going hiking through the Myli gorge which can be found near Rethymno.
