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!

This villa is perfect! We were excited about our stay and the villa lived up to our expectations and more. The layout of the villa suited our needs perfectly, being 4 adults, there were plenty of areas to relax inside and outside the house. The facilities in the villa has everything you need abd more. We loved the location of the villa as we like to explore and thrte was so much to see abd do. We were met by our host's family Alexandros and Georgios and they were so kind, thoughtful and helpful throughout our stay....welcoming us with a wonderfully array of local delights which were delicious and very much appreciated after a long day of travelling and were on hand throughout our stay to make sure we had the best time. Communication with the host was excellent. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this villa for a holiday.

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.

creet vacation

The villa is very nice, comfortable, clean and spacious, situated close to a few archeological sightes. However, it's too much far from the sea (30 min by car) and in the evening very difficult to find way back to the villa (there no road indications in Crete). It also can happen that you won't have any internet connection, strangely, because of the holidays.

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!

One of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed in!

My girlfriend and I stayed here with a couple friends for two weeks and can say that this villa is absolutely amazing for the price. It’s huge, with beautiful views of the mountains and sea during the day as well as the stars at night. The host Alexandros and his family were very accommodating, we arrived to a welcoming tour of the property and a gift basket. There is a wonderful aroma of flowers in the morning from the garden. The barbecue pit was also stocked with coal and fire starter which was nice. Overall I would recommend this place to any small group or families looking to stay in Crete. It’s located in a peaceful village in the mountains and is a short drive to the lively city of Rethymno. Being in the center of the island it’s also no more than about a two hour drive at most to many scenic or notable places to visit. Renting a car though is a must.

Täglich hat sich Giorgos um den Garten und Pool gekümmert und das auf eine sehr angenehme zurückhaltende freundliche Art.

Sikringene gikk, han var på plass tre minutter etter at vi tok kontakt. Huset hadde alt vi trengte. Vedfyrt pizzaovn ble testet og flott grill ute. Store og små koste seg.

Piscine et jardins entretenus avec beaucoup de soin et d'amour. Et, cerise sur le gâteau, des hôtes (Giorgios et son épouse) extrêmement accueillants et adorables, aux petits soins avec nous. Nous avons reçu de nombreux présents faits maison (vin, miel, fruits, gâteau, huile d'olive,...). Merci à vous ! Nous en garderons un souvenir inoubliable et espérons avoir la chance de pouvoir y revenir ❤️. Merci aussi à Etouri, toujours disponible et qui nous a permis de prolonger notre séjour de quelques heures dans un beach club branché avant de reprendre notre avion. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le geste. See you soon my friends !!!

Absolutely amazing place to stay

This really was a lovely place to find for our first family holiday in years. The villa is lovely - peaceful, immaculate, and the pool was great for our children who were aged 4-17. Georgios the host and his wife couldn’t have made us feel any more welcome but without being intrusive. The local area and village is quiet, with great tavernas and friendly locals. The drive to local town and beaches is easy and scenic and Bali Beach was an amazing excursion for a swim and scuba dive. Highly recommend. Nothing to fault, everything to recommend. We fully intend to return to Villa Eleftherna again, but next time for two weeks rather than the one.

George and his family are the most generous of hosts and their many gifts and considerate touches (home produced honey and olive oil to take home with us) were above and beyond our expectations.
