“The hospitality was first rate. and the location was so sweet. I would return again.”
It is quiet and safe and the view over the bay was amazing. The building is historic and the whole things was picture perfect. The internet was great, and the beds were comfy.

“Very unique”
Very unique place with outside kitchen area which we loved. The swimming pool was just perfect. Little pub and a restaurant just up the steps to the left as you walk out of the property. Very quiet area at the top of the hill with a ten minute walk into town. Recommend getting a taxis back up €6 . Tip keep the curtains closed as does get hot and the air-conditioning can only do so much.

“Very nice stay”
The view is absolutely stunning. The house is very cosy and old therefore not as clean as an apartment would be, but we really enjoyed the traditional vibes. It’s not in the city center and is very quite in the night. There is a very nice taverna nearby, the beach is 10 min by car. Parking situation is a bit complicated there, but we were lucky and always found a spot. The stuff is nice, mr. Bekim is friendly and helpful.

“One word , excellent”
A stunning location with amazing views. Property seemed basic, but was very comfortable and had every thing you needed. Lovely seating area on terrace and useful fridge for those ice cold drinks. The walk up to the property might inhibit some but we enjoyed it. Ten mins down to the shops or the beach. New modern bathroom great with plenty of water. Very grateful to the property manager in Elounda Mr Bekim who looked after our luggage on the last day, and arranged taxi to airport. He also arranged for us to be met after the late arrival.of our flight
