What a trip ! What a house ! What a garden !

Don't hesitate a second ! This villa is a true paradise with a stunning garden made of a lot of aeras : a fountain with gold fishes, a litte village square, a swing under the trees, you're gonna take a nap surrounded by the smell of jasmin and take your breakfast watching the sea. The pool is large and sunny. Natasa and Yiannis are the kindess persons in the world and they are really helpful. We had the best hollidays for years and we long to go back and drink a raki with them.

Beautiful Villa!

We had a lovely stay here. Natasa and her husband welcomed us at the villa, even though it was past midnight. The swimming pool has good measurements and the view is very nice. It is a good base to discover the lovely island of Crete.

Exceptional Villa Elisa with dreamlike garden

We really enjoyed our two weeks stay at Villa Elisa and would highly recommend it. We were welcomed by the owners who were extremely friendly and keen to ensure we enjoyed our stay and provided us with local food on arrival. The huge garden is a dream, which has been created with a lot of love. There are so many paths and seating areas. The plants and trees are a splendor and it had so many different fruits and vegetables which we could enjoy every day. We enjoyed every day watching the sun set from our balconies or pool. The facilities in the villa were fantastic and overall the accommodation was presented excellently, everything was very clean and tidy. All bedrooms and living room have air conditioning which worked very well. The kitchen is very well equipped and has a large fridge. Our children (ages 16 & 18) were with us, the villa was perfect for them, they spent a lot of time in the pool and played with the house cats. We found the area was very quiet and safe. It is only a short drive to Perama or Panormos to buy foods or visit the nice tavernas. There are so many beaches in the region where you can easy go to swim. I can only say good things about this villa and would recommend it to anyone. Thank you to Natasa and Yiannis for everything you did for us and will hopefully be back there soon.

Fantastic villa set up in the mountains

We stayed at Villa Elissa in August 2017 and had a fantastic time. The outside area is the main selling point for the villa. It has a good-sized pool and lots of sitting areas to sunbathe or escape to the shade. The garden is beautiful and it is full of fruit and vegetables which the owners Yiannis and Natasha are happy for you to pick and use. It is in a good location - lots of nice villages nearby including Anogia and Zoniana, and the busier town of Rethimno is only 30 minutes away. We would definitely go back to Villa Elissa!

About the host

Hosted by Yiannis

Why they chose this property

The whole surrounding area is in a quiet natural environment and even though the living areas are close, you can feel “away from it all”! In Keramota village there are two small but great taverns which you can reach on foot. The location is giving you the advantage of staying in one of the most traditional areas of Crete where people are still growing up with the traditional values and the real traditions! Take advantage of the location and explore the nearby villages of Melidoni, Margarites, Eleftherna, Zoniana, and Anogia where you can interact with real Cretan people and feel the Cretan hospitality at the highest level.

What makes this property unique

Around those villages you will also be able to see some unique sightseeing spots like the Idaion Andro cave where the Zeus was born according to Greek Mythology, the Zoniana village museum with candle statues and the cave “Sfendoni”, the well-known cave of Melidoni, the traditional pottery shops in Margarites, and last but not least, the archaeological site and the newly built museum of Ancient Eleftherna are worth a visit for discovering and feeling the ancient history of the area.
