Very good stay in this villa. 4 large rooms with own bathrooms. Nice pool and garden arrangements which makes outside life enjoyable. Great access to the beaches on the south coast.

We thank you for your positive and kind review! We are very happy to hear you had an enjoyable experience on our property, as we make it a priority to provide high-quality services to our guests. We would be glad to accommodate you again in the future !!
We have just come back from two weeks at Villa Eleana and had the best time. Ages ranged from 13 to 57 and everyone loved it.
Photos on website don't do it the justice that it deserves, only issue was we were expecting 3 single beds (for 3 boys) but there were two doubles, and so one of them had to sleep on a mattress on the floor, so please double check before you go!
The villa is secluded with no one else around you, just beautiful views of the mountains. There is a school at the back, but as this was the summer it was closed, however they had a 3G football pitch (with floodlights until midnight) which our teenage kids (and some of the adults) loved. The local children even came along and played football with them which was lovely.
A really handy supermarket is within 5 minutes walk and stocks pretty much everything you need for your holiday (the fresh bread is to die for!), and there were two tavernas within 10 minutes walk which were both outstanding, and really good value. Highly recommended.
Nearest beach (Plakias) was a 15-20 minute drive away and well worth a visit.
All in all, we had a really memorable time at the villa, it was perfect for what we all needed.

Verkligheten är bättre än bilderna. Mycket fint mottagande av värden och både in pch utcheckningen gick smidigt. Fastigheten ligger mycket vackert och det är lugnt och tyst. I närheten finns några restauranger och en livsmedelsbutik. 10 min med bil finns ett bageri där vi köpte nybakat bröd. Med bil tar du dig enkelt till fina stränder och de närliggande städerna.

Ein sehr schönes , ruhig gelegenens Haus. Der Vermieter hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und alles erklärt. Einzig der (zum Anreisezeitpunkt noch beworbenene) SAT-TV-Empfang steht nicht zur Verfügung, ansonsten geben die Fotos einen sehr genauen Eindruck. Auch bei Fragen zwischendurch hat Oreo-Travel ganz fix reagiert. Die Ruhe am schönen Pool mit Blick zu den Bergen haben zum tollen Urlaub beigetragen. Für Kinder auch der Bereich unter dem Dach ein Highlight. Die Anfahrt ist problemlos, für Unternehmungen ein Auto auf jeden Fall nötig, Rethymnon ist in gut 20min erreicht, Plakias keine Viertelstunde. Sehr empfehlenswert! *****

A really comfortable, private villa just outside a village (still within walking distance of a supermarket. Even the children playing on the nearby five a side pitch were never any nuisance!
The pool is one of the best I have experienced in thirty odd years of renting properties abroad.
The owners were wonderful, with excellent recommendations (including a very good traditional restaurant) and helpful at all times.
It was within fifteen minutes drive of the lovely little resort of Plakias and some excellent beaches.
All in all, would recommend this to anyone.

Schönes Haus in hervorragender ruhiger Lage. Trotzdem ist vieles Im Norden und im Süden schnell erreichbar. Viel Platz, schöner Garten mit Pool, der besonders von den Kindern ausgiebig genutzt wurde. In der Küche fehlt das eine oder andere, was gebraucht wird, wenn man 7 Personen bekocht. Alles was I n allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt

Das Haus befindet sich in wunderschöner, ruhiger Lage.
Die Ausstattung ist wie beschrieben und ideal für 8-9 Personen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und konnten den Pool, sowie die Grillabende genießen.
Sehr praktisch ist auch der Supermarkt, der zu Fuß erreicht werden kann und die Tavernen in der Umgebung.
