18 of our family stayed at Villa Eleni for 14 days in July 2022. 13 adults, 4 aged 12-14 and a 3 year old and we all agreed it was the best villa we have stayed at.
The villa was ideal, the pool was amazing, very large and deep, the steps were great for the non-swimmers, plenty of outdoor space around the pool for the kids to play and loads of sun loungers and other seating areas in the sun and shade. Poolside toilet and shower block was ideal.
The outdoor kitchen and eating area was very well equipped and was great for everyone to meet at and the 3 fridges and large freezer gave plenty space for water, juice, food etc. The rooms all being split into separate apartments with most having fridges also was good and meant you also had your own space which was needed at times with such a large group!
Carine was a great host, we had to contact her a few times on Whatsapp and she was always very helpful and very quick to respond! She also helped arrange for traditional greek food to be delivered to the villa for us from a local caterer to celebrate a Golden Wedding anniversary and the food was well presented and delicious!
The kittens in the grounds of the villa were great entertainment for the 3 year old who didn't want to leave them!
We all loved Acharavi as well, very nice and clean town with loads of bars, cafes and restaurants which didn't disappoint. It's a 5 minute walk down the hill to the main street and another 10/15 minute walk from there to the beach where there are great beach bars and restaurants, great to eat dinner with amazing sunsets. The only downside to the villa is the walk back up the hill from the main street which is very steep for the last 150m. This was very tough on my father in law who wasn't able to walk it, the lack of taxis in Acharavi is frustrating but he was helped by Stefanos and Nina in the shop 'Tutti Frutti' at the bottom of the hill who offered to give him a lift up the hill every time he needed it which was amazing! Lovely people, be sure to visit their shop they sell great fruit and nice wines and loads of other homemade stuff. We all loved our stay here and would definitely recommend this villa for large groups, as long as everyone is fit enough for the walk up the hill! Thanks for a great holiday!
