I would recommend it without the slightest doubt!!!

An amazing garden with a sea view where you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and play equipment for children among the many olive trees. Peace and quiet, in the middle of nowhere but 5 minutes from Elafonisi, White Lake etc. The house had everything! Well done George!

This villa was perfect. A few minutes by car from the beautiful Elafonisi beach, it has a wonderful garden with a ping-pong table, an outdoor sofa and a hammock. In the evening you can watch a wonderful sunset over the sea from the garden. The host was very kind. I highly recommend it.

This property is the best place that you can choose for your vacation in Crete. The house is big, comfortable and has all that you might need. My favourite part was the garden- lush green grass under the shade of the tree that guarantees you the best afternoons if you choose to skip the crowded, but amazing beach of Elafonissi in the afternnons, swings and a playhouse for the kids and a couple of cats that hang around the garden always ready to eat and to cuddle. Our host George was so friendy and easy to communicate wirh and surprised us with welcome drinks and some food left in the fridge. The extra outdoor shower with warm water was such a big fun for the kids and guarantees no beach sand in the house. Last but not least the location of the villa is amazing - 5 mins by car to Elafonissi, 5 mins by car to the best tavern Stomio and a supermarket in a 5 mins walking distance. We are definately coming back to this amazing place!

A magical stay in a wonderful villa near Elafonissi

The property is truly enchanting. Its surrounded by silence, yet only a short walk from the road leading to Elafonissi, which is just over five minutes away by car, plus a panoramic walk through dunes and junipers. The villa has absolutely everything you might need.

At the top, the location, the amenities, the house, the sunset!
This is the best air bnb I've ever done!
There is a small beach 8 min walk away that is worth it if you don't want to go to elafosini!
Impeccable communication with the host!
To be booked without a second thought if you have the budget (cheaper than the hotel) for 6 people.

Amazing place for a family.

The villa was just amazing. We are a family with 3 young kids and we enjoyed every day there. The villa was fully equipped with everything you might need, including a carrycot for the little one. An amazing spacious garden with a green grass, olive trees, table tennis, swings and a great wooden house for the kids. The famous Elafonisi lagoon beach is just 5 minutes drive away. Parking costs around 5 euro for the whole day.

We had a great vacation at the property. Everything was as described and Georgios always responded very quickly to messages. The location is totally beautiful and quiet. You can see the sunset from the garden. A few minutes away is White Lake Beach, which was perfect with our 3 kids. Elafonisi Beach is also just a few minutes driving. Restaurants and a mini market are also nearby. The kids also loved the swing and garden to play. The place is definitely highly recommended. Thank you for everything!

Holidays with three small children.

A very well-equipped house, ideal for a family with children, with a nice garden that is safe for kids. A wonderful location, a short walk to a pebble beach. A great base for exploring the west of the island. Lots of great tavernas within half an hour by car. In the village itself there is a well-stocked mini market and several good tavernas, one of them very good. Exemplary contact with the host.

Beautifully located, quiet flat

Very nicely located with a great view of the sea, quiet and spacious. A lovely garden with lots of room for children to run around, a swing and a slide, surrounded by olive trees. The cats from the neighbourhood kept dropping by and were happy to get some food. Several places to swim nearby, reachable by car or on foot. Very friendly hosts; questions or problems were answered or solved quickly.
