Perfect stay
The Villa is beautiful and had everything we could have wanted with stunning views and a great pool. There was plenty to do locally but we made use of our hire car too and visited lots of other areas. We are a family with four children aged 9-15 years and all thoroughly enjoyed our time in Eleftherna. The service provided by Etouri was excellent with really good recommendations of where to go. What made our holiday even more special was the wonderful owner Georgious - thank you for your hospitality!

Villa Eleftherna
One of the best villas I have stayed in . The villa was beautiful and kept immaculate by the owners. The owner is on hand to greet you on your arrival and show you around . There are superb views from all the balconies of the Cretan mountains and sea. The pool is a good size and kept very clean and the garden very pretty with many places to sit and a BBQ and pizza oven . The villa is well equipped and the owners are on hand to answer any questions or help . There are many interesting places to visit nearby and the village tavernas and mini market are handy and within walking distance.

Outstanding Villa
The whole experience at the villa was outstanding, from the moment we booked and received excellent service to the the ease of check in to the assistance while we stayed. Nothing was a problem for Etouri and George!! The villa was cleaned twice weekly which was an absolute treat. The gardens were beautifully kept and maintained. The local town is small and quiet but had a romance to it, especially Andira and Manous the excellent host. Cannot promote it enough. It is rural so you need a car but everything is within easy reach. Highly recommend the beach club and the catamaran days!

We stayed 2 week in this villa and had a very warm welcome with additionally some fresh products like fruits and also olive oil. The owner came every day to clean to pool and also the agency was reachable whenever needed. The house was perfectly clean and everything as described. We really enjoyed the time and can recommend this place to everybody.
