  4 bedroom Villa Chara With Heated Pool, By Estia
  The villa was lovely and clean and the pool and bbq areas were perfect for outdoor living. There is a nice shaded area where you can dine if not using the bbq area, although we ate at the bbq area as it was lovely. The villa was very clean and well equipped kitchens on both floors. It is actually 2 x 2 beds apartments but it suited us well as we had 4 older kids who had the ground floor and my wife and I had the top floor to ourselves. We had large balconies at the front and rear of our floor. Communication with Konstantinos the villa owner was extremely good and he was very helpful with answering questions and keeping us informed of linen changes and pool cleaning. We would definitely recommend this villa.

  3 bedroom Luxury Villa In Elounda Only 30m From The Sea With Private Pool
  We stayed for two weeks in early August 25. Two adults and two teenage boys (16&14). The villa itself is very modern with all the facilities of home plus AC throughout keeping things nice and cool. Huge flat screen smart TV where kids could access Netflix, Amazon Prime video. The view from the pool terrace is fantastic with an uninterrupted view looking out across the bay of Elounda. It was perfect for our family holiday. Elounda itself is a nearby stroll of 10/15 mins along the coast road which has a paved footpath all the way. There is a steep road of about 50m to walk down from the villa to the coast road which would not be suitable for very young children / people with walking disability or elderly. No issue for us but could be for others. The pool is beautiful, very very clean clear water and about 4ft deep throughout, infinity pool - little ones would need to take care of the drop edge. Elounda is a lovely resort, lots and lots of restaurant choices, quiet family orientated location without loud bars/ clubs - perfect for laid back relaxed holiday. Beach is clean, sun beds available all day except maybe weekends which are a little busier - sea very very calm due to the peninsula with almost zero waves and no steep drop into the sea. Highly recommend this lovely villa and resort location. Car parking at the Villa is available and easy. Both owners were very very responsive during the booking process and during our stay, incredibly helpful and allowed us to stay in the villa beyond our checkout time as we had a later flight - hugely appreciated!!

  4 bedroom Villa Selene, Almyrida. Near Beach/tavernas. Private Pool & Quiet
  We had a great week; the villa was clean and well organised and very peaceful (apart from the cicadas!) - exactly what we wanted. The owners were communicated everything well before our trip and were really quick to respond to our queries when we were there.

  5 bedroom Souda Bay View
  Stunning location with incredible views, especially the sunset. The villa is amazing, with different seating areas dependant on the sun or wind. Pool not heated so was cold in May. Track off the road to the villa is rough and quite steep so you need to be young or fit to walk it to the nearest restaurant. Kalyves a short drive with some nice seafront restaurants Ταβέρνα Ακρογιάλι being our favourite with very friendly sraff. A car is essential though. Greek Air Force F-16’s can be a little noisy at times in and out of the airport (only 3 miles away in a straight line) but not at weekends. We had the treat of a practice display while having breakfast on the terrace. Also interesting watching the ships in and out of Souda Bay. In the main though, a very peaceful villa we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  6 bedroom Luxurious Villa With Private Pool. A Memorable Stay!
  Our stay at Villa Tranquil was truly memorable. The 6 bed villa was absolutely stunning and very spacious and the pool was incredible. Our party consisted of 4 adults and an 11 month old baby, and we spent most of our time in and around the pool. The gardens were lovely and well kept, lemon and peach trees in full fruit around the grounds. Amenities and beach were about 15 mins walk from the villa, the villa is isolated which we enjoyed as it was so peaceful and quiet, sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. The views of the sea and mountains from all the balconies were incredible as well. Matthew and Kristina the owners were only a phone call away and so helpful, the microwave packed up, and after phoning Matthew he was round within the hour with a new one. The rooms were absolutely perfect, down to the bedding and towels having ‘Villa Tranquil’ embroidered on all items. The whole villa was air conditioned which was lovely after being out in the hot sun for most of the day. A cot was provided for the baby, again this was a godsend as he could sleep off after being outside in the heat, If there was any kind of negative, no wine glasses available, other than that a fantastic place to stay! We would have no reservations about recommending anyone staying at this villa, if its available for your dates book it immediately. Brian & Sylvia Hylton Marton, Middlesbrough UK
