We had an amazing time staying at Villa Elina! We were four girls sharing a suite for three nights with a very large double bed and two spacious singles that double as couches and window seats, with a fantastic view of the Aegean Sea and the beach Agios Stefanos below less than 10 minutes walk away, and a large jacuzzi to soak up the spectacular sunset every evening. The entire suite - which was completely renovated to a very high standard only two weeks before our stay - was well equipped with a TV, a mini fridge, a small toaster, kettle and Nespresso machine, and a beautiful bathroom with all amenities and complimentary toiletries provided.
Our fantastic host Manos took extremely good care of us, always only a text away and quick to respond to any issues that arose (minimal) and questions regarding transport or advice on the sights and activities of Mykonos. He very kindly offered to pick us up from the ferry on our arrival and did everything he could to ensure we were comfortable, providing us with maps and recommending the best beaches, restaurants and bars in the area, all of which we tried and thoroughly enjoyed. When we had problems operating the new jacuzzi he went above and beyond to make sure that it was in perfect working order so that we had time to make the most of it before we left. He made us feel like we were his number one priority despite his busy schedule managing Villa Elina and taking care of the other guests, which we hugely appreciated.
His aunt and uncle own the hotel just next door whose large pool and bar area we were permitted to use with any bar purchase, serviced by very friendly and welcoming staff. The beach below was easily accessible via steps down the hill where a small convenience store and a few restaurants and bars are situated, as well as a bus stop for the 10 minute ride into the centre of town, or 5 minutes to the New Port where all the ferries and large cruise ships dock.
All in all it was the perfect accommodation for a relaxed beach holiday with the option to shop and sightsee, as well as enjoy the nightlife and delicious food that Mykonos has to offer. The service, staff, suite and entire experience was top notch, and it was easily our favourite accommodation on our travels around the Cyclades.
We will all be coming back here on our next visit to Mykonos, and give it the highest recommendation!
