Elounda Bay View Villa

Simple property with amazing views over the bay. Nice pool and fridge was full of food when we arrived.

− It’s a bit out of the way and the drive is 500m up a steep hill. This didn’t bother me but others have mentioned it. The property is a bit dated and all appliances are 20+ years old, but they work! No toilet on main floor is difficult if you can’t manage stairs well. And hand held showers in 2026 is just lazy. Please update.

The house is very well-equipped, with a beautiful pool and three bedrooms with magnificent views
The only drawback of this house is its location, as there is a 20% slope for 300 m, which is difficult to climb even by car.
It's impossible to leave on foot
Otherwise, nothing to say about the services of the house; cleaning was even done mid-stay

we were a group of 5 friends, had the greatest time in the beautiful pool and comfortable and equipped villa. too young to rent a car so had to take taxies to ger around. wish to go back again!

The villa has a beautiful view and an outdoor courtyard where it is very pleasant and enjoyable to sit. The host himself was very available throughout the stay and gave us good recommendations about the area.
However, there are a few things that are important to consider and were not mentioned in the description:
Arrival: Access to the villa is very challenging and includes a very steep climb. You must arrive by vehicle, and you cannot get around there on foot.
Equipment: The most basic cooking equipment was missing in the kitchen (even elementary things like salt and oil were not there).
The structure of the house: a strange structure with three floors, each relatively small. The living room, the TVs in the rooms, and the showers are very small compared to the villa.
Flexibility: The host was not flexible at all regarding the checkout time. We asked for a late check-out, and the villa was available the following night, but the only condition offered to us was full payment for an extra night.

Beautiful place, where we spent a lovely week. Amazing views and lots to see and do in the local area. House was spacious, clean and well-stocked when we arrived and Antonis was very helpful throughout our stay. Only thing to note is that access is up a very steep road!
