About this property

Family villa Elia with heated pool, 2 minutes walking to local amenities

In the beautiful village of Atsipopoulo a few kilometres from Rethymno centre, you will meet the traditional guest house 'Villa Elia', in which you will feel the Venetian atmosphere.

The owners have respected the traditional architecture of Crete and have used indigenous materials such as stone and wood. However, they have constructed a very comfortable house, as it is the most important point of holidays.

They await you to experience the Cretan hospitality, tradition and history, as well as pleasurable moments of relaxation and serenity.

Villa Elia is one of the two-twins villas that locate at the center of village Atsipopoulo, which can meet all your first needs. Supermarket, bakery, groceries and butchery shop, cofee shop, restaurants, ATM and pharmacy are all in walking distance (200 metres from the entrance of the villas). However, as you come in from the entrance of the villas, the whole atmosphere changes, as our villas locate inside the nature in a peaceful and ideal for relaxing enviroment. The center of Rethymno is also 5 kilometres away and 10 minutes drive.

Villa Elia is concstructed in maisonette style, measures 150 m2 and has a private swimming pool and balcony. Moreover, it can host 8 persons in 4 bedrooms. Two of them have a double bed and the rest two have two single beds each.

On the ground floor you will find the living area with a fireplace, a full-equipped kitchen and a dining area. It also includes the first two bedrooms, one bathroom and a lavatory.

The top floor consists of two bedrooms, a bathroom, a lavatory and a balcony with a view of the traditional village nearby and the nature. All the rooms are air-conditioned.

The villa is equipped with Satellite television, DVD player, CD Player and radio, Coffee machinet, Microwave, Toaster, Dishwasher, Clothes washer, Deposit box, Hair-dryer and Baby cot.

The exterior of the villa includes a 27 private swimming pool, a dining table and seats for all the 8 persons, as well as 8 sunbeds in order you can enjoy the cretan sun. The swimming pool of the villa can also be heated with an extra cost of 40 euros per day (upon request at least 7 days before arrival and valid only for the whole booking) In addition, each villa has its own barbeque facilities for your personal use.

The location of the villas are ideal for exploring our whole island. Located in the center of the north part of Crete, only 3 kilometres from the highway provides easy access from the local airports (Heraklion and Chania) and the opportunity to visit from the big cities of the island to the smallest beaches in both north and south part of Crete.

Guests will have access and full privacy to all areas indoor and outdoor!

We will wait for you in the villa for your arrival (despite the time, even after midnight) in order to help you with the house details and give you as much informations as you want about the area, taverns, shops, places and beaches that you have to visit!
Also we will clean the villa and change towels and linen every 3 days!
Finally we will be there for your departure for our last thank you!
We will be also reachable on our cell phone and e-mails 24/7!
Our home locates only 1 kilometer from the villa, so we will be able to come in a few minutes at the villa for anything that you will need.

A wonderful stay!
We’ve just got back from a fabulous stay! We’re a family of five and the villa was perfect for us. Extremely clean and beautifully presented. There are lots of handy shops and cafes within the village but we drove to the main town every evening for a choice of more restaurants and bars or for the beach during the day. George was the perfect host. Always answered messages promptly and was around every day to clean the pool or offer local recommendations. We received many culinary treats from his mother, which was a very special touch. Thank you George!

Wonderful stay
Thank you to George and his family for a lovely holiday. Villa Elia is absolutely beautiful! We were close to Rethymno to get the bus, the local village had plenty of restaurant and supermarket options and it was a really peaceful place. The villa itself is amazing, very spacious, it has everything we needed and was very clean! Thanks again George!

Magnificent!
We stayed here in July/August 2023 broadly as a result of the glowing reviews on this site and found it exceeded our expectations. There are three villas on the site in a private settlement in the lovely authentic village of Atsipopoulo. George is an exceptional host and takes great pride in the accommodation and making your holiday the best it can be. His communication is always friendly and swift and is always on hand to make recommendations for meals or excursions. His knowledge of the island is excellent. The villa was exceptionally clean, well equipped and very comfortable with plenty of room for both inside and outside space. I believe the villas were constructed in the early 2000s and are beautifully designed. You can tell that a good deal of thought has been placed into their appearance. The pool was a wonderful place to spend a day and cool off from the heat of the summer. The villas are located in the heart of the village, with plenty of local supermarkets, bars and a great bakery just a few minutes walk. There are several tavernas also worth a visit within walking distance. Further afield, the town of Rethymnon can be reached by bus, taxi or a 10 minute drive with its pretty old harbour and Venetian fort. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this villa to anyone looking for a Luxurious villa in a peaceful, relaxing setting.

Perfekte Unterkunft
George und seine Familie haben hier eine ganz wunderbare Unterkunft geschaffen. Die Unterkunft ist abgelegen von der touristischen Hochburg Rethymnon und das kleine Örtchen hat echtes griechisches Flair. Wunderbare griechische Lokale sowie Supermarkt sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Die Villa ist genau so wie auf den Bildern abgebildet, es fehlt an nichts. Zuletzt muss man noch George erwähnen, der zu jederzeit mit Tipps und Ratschlägen sehr fürsorglich sich um seine Gäste kümmert. Ein wirklich perfekter Urlaubsort.

Gastvrij en comfortabel verblijf
Ongelooflijk leuke woning en zeker goede ontvangst. De eigenaars zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ze zijn continu bereikbaar als er problemen of vragen zijn. Het huis zelf is zeer ruim, alle kamers zijn goed uitgerust en de keuken heeft alles wat er nodig is. Er is een zwembad en de eigenaars maken het elke dag schoon.

About the host

Hosted by George Kokkinakis

Host profile image
My name is George Kokkinakis and i have studied Mechanical Engineering in NTUA. As my family is the owner of the two beautiful villas, Elia and Myrtia, i have started organizing renting our villas to guests all over the word. I have made some lessons learning how to communicate with my guests, but i think that contact with guests is the best school, so that is my priority.

I and my family are always next to our guests before and during their stay and we are trying every year to offer best services to our guests to logical prices.

Our aim is to help our guests to have a relaxing holiday at our villa and help them explore our beautiful island.

Let me be your dedicated host for your holidays and let’s start organising your trip in Crete together!
