Maison familiale

La propriétaire des lieux est très sympa, accessible et vraiment présente si besoin. La maison est magnifique ! Nous avons passé une superbe semaine. Je recommande cette maison. Cependant si vous souhaitez visiter la Crète ce n’est pas la ville idéal car loin de tout, mais vous avez de quoi faire à côté en restaurant - magasin - plage.

Luxury villa on edge of small, friendly town

The villa exceeded pur expectations, the kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the house and outside area was lovely to relax in. Being so close to the town meant that shopping and restaurants were just a short walk away. The owners were really friendly and helpful.

Beautiful house!

We loved our stay here. Rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed. Excellent location. Kitchen is fully equipped. NOTE: if you want a heated pool, notify in advance. Pool was only lukewarm by our last day after turning on heater on first day. The "jacuzzi" is a section of yhe pool with jets and is not heated separately from the pool. Nonetheless we had a marvelous time!

Wunderschöne , helle, saubere Villa

Uns hat die großzügige Villa sehr gefallen. Die Zimmer sind schön groß, hell und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Die Bäder sind sauber und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Grundstück ist mit einem großen Pool mit Whirlpool ausgestattet und hat nicht nur den Kindern viel Spaß bereitet. Die Lage ist ruhig und zu Fuß hat man es nicht weit bis ins Dorf Pitsidia.

Luxusvilla mit Top-Ausstattung

Die Villa ist wunderschön gelegen mit traumhaftem Blick auf das Ida Gebirge. Unsere Familie, zwei Erwachsene und drei Kinder, hatte im Sommer zweieinhalb Wochen in dem Haus verbracht. Als wir das Haus betraten ( als erste Mieter, es war noch ganz neu!) waren wir alle sofort verliebt. Der untere Bereich mit offener Küche und den vielen im Wind wehenden, weißen Vorhängen beeindruckt sofort. Als große Familie legen wir sehr viel Wert darauf Rückzugsmöglichkeiten und Privatsphäre zu haben. In dem Haus Ella ist das durch die großzügig angelegten Räumen und die drei an den Schlafzimmern angeschlossenen ( äußerst eleganten!) Bädern nie zu eng. Die Kinder hatten sehr viel Spaß am Pool und wäre das Meer nicht in unmittelbarer Nähe gewesen, hätten wir unser Paradies gar nicht verlassen. Einen besonderen Lob verdienen unsere Vermieter Birgit und Aristidis, die durch ihre Wärme und Professionalität uns immer wieder in diese Gegend geführt haben. Im kommenden Sommer sind wir wieder da!!!

How nice that you visit us ...!

We rent and sell cottages and villas in Pitsidia and Kalamaki,
on the south coast of Crete in the region of Messara plain - Heraklion.
How it all started:
A few years ago, everything started with the restoration of the stone house of my grandparents, the Villa Chrissie-Marie in Pitsidia.
It gives me great pleasure to share my culture, knowledge and abilities with other people, so that your dream of an original, traditional Greek home in an enchanting landscape can come true.
As a result, among other things, our own cottage-unique items have emerged, which we would like to introduce to you on this page.
Since then, I have built, restored, renovated, and commissioned more than 15 villas and villas on behalf of the parish and church of Pitsidia.
My German wife Birgit, is pleased about your inquiries and will be happy to provide further information about our natural stone and holiday homes as well as properties for sale.
In addition, she manages and rents the cottages from happy holiday home owners.

Why they chose this property

The wonderful holiday home Villa Ella offers, due to its location in a side street on the outskirts of Pitsidia and its non-visibility, a wonderful home to relax and with all the comforts for you and your family, especially the size of the swimming pool, the possibility to use the smaller pool as a children's pool or as a jacuzzi.

What makes this property unique

You can use a fully equipped kitchen in the house, you will find in the outdoor area a fireplace for BBQ . The furniture and sun loungers invite you to relax in the sun or cool down in the shady area.
