Vacation rentals near Mount Ida

Beautiful house, very nice host who left us a welcome gift, fresh big watermelon

We stayed at the villa for two weeks and had a great holiday. The villa is perfectly suited for members of a large family wishing to spend holidays together while each having their own private space.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to rent one of the finest villas we have ever stayed at in all our 30 years of traveling in the Greek islands. Villa Armonia is perfect! And the most exceptional part of our stay was our wonderful host, Amalia, who showered us with kindness, food and wine. The villa is impeccable, and the pool served us so well during the heat of our Crete Holiday over our three week stay. The villa is located a 10 minute drive from the nearest village in a lovely cluster of buildings including a small church. The silence was amazing. We rate this stay a 10 out of 10. Mel & Marilyn

If you want to rent a villa and immerse yourself in the day to day of the local population in a small village that has bakery groceries and 4 tavernas within 3-7 minute walk this is the place. Manolis is the owner and terrific host. He owns the pottery adjacent to the house. There is a beach a 20 minute drive. Our son and his 2 children were in the pool everyday. 4 bedrooms 3 of which have their own ensuite and lots of areas to sit outside. This property made our 12 day stay truly exceptional. Thanks to Valia and her team for quick turnaround in communication and thanks to the owner Manolis. The property is only 2 years old.

This is the best villa we’ve ever stayed at in all of our travels. We were greeted upon arrival and given a thorough tour of the premises and welcomed with gifts of fresh fruit and olive oil, honey, wine and rail made all made by our hosts. We rented a car and this was required at this location. However, during our 9-day stay, we were perfectly happy to spend some days at the villa with a short walk to town for lunch. Blow dryer, shampoo and body wash was provided, pool and bath towels, dishwasher soap and a rack for drying laundry (no clothes dryer, just a washing machine). We made use of the herbs in the garden (basil and rosemary) as well as limes from the tree in the yard. We also cooked at the villa every day, using the bbq as well as the oven and stovetop. Everything was in excellent working order and the kitchen was very well equipped. We really enjoyed the pool and had some fun games of volleyball. In October, we founded that even with highs up to 29 degrees, it started cooling down at about 4:00 pm. We highly recommend Villa Eleftherna.
