Perfect stay! The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The host (Gregory) was incredibly welcoming, super helpful, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The location is ideal for enjoying the sea and the surroundings. Excellent value for money, I would give it a 10/10 without hesitation. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday!

“Absolutely perfect!”
The rooms are perfectly located: super short drive to Elafonosi, proximity to tavernas (we recommend Kochilas!), a supermarket and a monastery. Despite the central location, it offers a feeling of staying in the countryside with an olive grove just outside of your balcony. Very comfortable, brigh, spacious and well-equipped rooms. Modern bathroom. Large terrace with a perfect table for watching the sunset and monastery. Sea view. Lovely and very friendly host. Cretan hospitality at its best.

“Lovely place to stay in elafonisi”
The room was very comfortable, clean, and had everything that we needed. The location is superb, very close to the beautiful beach of Elafonisi and the restaurants of the Vila. The hostess was really nice and super friendly.

“Vastly overpriced for what is offers”
Proximity to Kedrodados and Elafonisi beaches. Get there early before the masses arrive! Short walk to a nearby monastery with amazing sunset views.

“Great option is you want to stay very close to Elafonisi”
Functional and nice room. Very clean. Excellent shower. The hosts were very nice and helpful. We visited the Monastery close by which we definitively recommend, it is a jewel! The taverns are just 100 m away accessible by foot and serve excellent food at a good price. Supermarkets are very close too. You can enjoy the place if you are without a car (2-3 attractions accessible by foot) but having a car is preferable.

“Pleasant stay at a silent, calm place with a nice, helpful owner”
Smooth check-in, nice, helpful and communicating host, easy to find location at a silent and calm place, very close to beautiful beaches as Elafonissi (10 minutes drive), Aspri Limni, Voulolimni, a few minutes drive to Chrysoskalitissa Monastery and nice tavernas with delicious sea food just a few steps away. The apartment is brand new, with extra comfy beds, soft and good smelling linen, towels. The aircon is strong and it is very smart that not directed straight on the bed so we could leave it on during the night, making a good sleep. The kitchen corner was equipped with basic kitchnware (complimentary coffee offered) just enough to prepare a tea, coffee and a small breakfast. This palce and the area is really suitable for several days of relaxing stay.
