Eleonas Villa | Private Pool & Peaceful Mountain Escape
Villa Eleonas is a 100m2 traditional stone built house with lots of outdoor space, a big private pool and wonderful views to the jewel of Crete, the White Mountains. Its layout is simple and operational offering many useful facilities such as a private pool, air-conditioners in every room and free WIFI just to name but a few.
Starting from inside, the house consists of 2 floors, the ground floor and the first floor. Upon entering the house from downstairs, there is a big open space with sofas, a big dining area and a beautiful traditional fireplace. The kitchen is on the left in a separate room. It is fully equipped with all the necessary appliances, kitchenware, a big dishwasher, coffee maker, a toaster and a microwave oven. There is also a small dining table for 4. Moreover, downstairs there is a bathroom (with a shower and a washing machine) and a cosy and spacious master bedroom where a crib can be placed upon request. Wooden stairs lead to the upstairs part of the house. Here there are 2 twin bedrooms with beds that can become double ones, and a bathroom with a shower. There is access to a big outdoor veranda with sofas and marvelous views to the mountains and the pool.
The outdoor space is vast, with a big private pool (7.5m x 4m and 1.70m maximum depth) in the backyard, 6 sunbeds and umbrellas as well as outdoor sofas under a wooden pergola, barbecue facilities, and a landscaped garden. Outside the living room, there is also a shaded dining area equipped with a table and chairs. Upstairs, there are 2 big balconies which can be accessed from both inside and outside the house - with pergolas and sofas – overlooking the magnificent rural landscape and the White Mountains which look stunning all year round.
The house is located in a huge plot we own which offers our guests the chance to encounter first hand some elements of farm life just by walking around the 13.000 square meter plot. There is parking space all over this plot as well as in the area of the villa. The plot is also gated and can be accessed by 2 streets.
In general our philosophy as a family run business is to provide comfort and as many amenities as possible guaranteeing memorable and trouble free holiday in our beautiful island which we are so proud of. We are always at our guests’ disposal trying to cater for their each and every need, as guest satisfaction is our number one priority.
Location Apart from the house itself, the location is central enough to anything. The nearest beach, Ombrosgialos, is a 5- minute drive away while other popular sandy beaches are from 10 to 20 minutes away. The historical cities of Chania and Rethimno are less than an hour drive. Other villages with handy shops with local products are just 2 to 5 minutes away. You can also find some traditional tavernas in great proximity offering delicious Cretan dishes in reasonable prices.

Thank you Ilia & Marianna, we’ve had a fantastic time. The Villa, garden & surroundings were perfect. Amazing views of the mountains and so quiet (except the odd cockerel :-)).
This place is a real gem and wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you again for an amazing stay.
We had the most amazing time at Villa Eleonas. Lovely location, really private and felt very secure. The house was so well equipped we didnt need anything! Communication with the owner was super quick and amazingly helpful. Would definitely stay again, thank you for such a lovely holiday! Xx
A lovely property with a cottage like feel to it, everything you could need is provided including plenty of food for breakfast which was very welcome as we didn't arrive until 3am. The outside area is what really makes this property so beautiful, the views are stunning from every side, the pool is a really good size and immaculately clean as was everywhere inside and out. We made good use of the BBQ and surrounding outside areas and enjoyed many evenings around the pool or walking (about 30 mins) to the local tavernas. Marianna was very helpful and always available throughout our stay and provided suggestions for places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.
Magnifique endroit pour les amoureux du terroir et de la tranquilité. Trois petit hameaux à moins de 2 km, accessibles à pieds avec des habitants accueillants. La villa est belle et propre, parfaite pour une petite famille. Nous avons adoré.
Située dans une belle région, la maison est propre et bien équipée et bien entretenue. Elle est facile d’accès ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas en Crète.
La piscine est très agréable, le barbecue en pierre est fort pratique.
Les hôtes sont toujours disponibles et donnent des bonnes adresses.
Le ménage entre les deux semaines est un plus, c’est une prestation que peu d’hôtes offrent. De plus la piscine est régulièrement entretenue.
J’ai rarement vu un tel niveau de prestation.
Magnifique maison en pleine nature proche de belles criques où faire du snorkelling ! Les propriétaires sont disponibles, réactifs et très très gentils ! Comme tous les grecs de la région d'ailleurs !!! La piscine est très belle et propre. Bref, je vous le conseille, nous avons passé un super séjour !
Das Haus liegt leicht erhöht auf einer Bergkuppe mit Blick auf die Berge. Nachdem wir den richtigen Weg gefunden hatten, haben wir nur noch 15 min runter bzw hoch gebraucht.
Das Haus selber ist toll auch der Pool ist klasse. Es ist sehr ruhig. Leider gibt es fußläufig nicht viel zu sehen, aber insgesamt eine gute Ausgangsbasis um den Westen Kretas mit dem Auto zu erkunden.
Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Empfang. Es standen Getränke, Obst und Brot bereit für den ersten Tag. Marianna ist immer erreichbar gewesen und hat sofort Tipps und Hilfe bereit gehabt. Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft in einer schönen Gegend. Vielen Dank noch einmal und gerne wieder. Jürgen und Freunde
Alles war toll: Aussicht, Pool, Schmetterlinge im Blumengarten. Die dicken Steinwände lassen die Hitze draußen. Wir hatten eine sehr angenehme un entspannte Urlaubszeit. Unsere beiden Kindern haben den Pool genossen. Die Aussicht ist herrlich. Das Haus ist mit allen ausgestattet: Waschmittel, Shampoo, Duschgel, Servietten. Uns hat ein riesen Obstkorb, eine Flasche Wein und lokales Gebäck erwartet. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der Villa Elenora sehr genossen, Marianna war sehr freundlich, in der Villa standen sogar schon Mineralwasser, Gebäck und Olivenöl zur Verfügung.
A very nice house with a great pool and everything you need starting from towels, through kitchen equipment.
Everything is according to the description and late/ early check- in/out is possible.
The host is very friendly and always reachable, if something happens, she’s there to support you.
In the area there are many traditional taverna’s and local shops. It’s a perfect location to escape the beaten path and just focus on your family, friends and enjoy the quiet.
Rundherum sehr zufrieden und Erwartungen übertroffen…
Wir könnten sehr viele Details aufzählen, die wir allesamt als sehr positiv bewerten können. Wir sind absolut konstruktiv kritische Menschen und würden definitiv auch Verbesserungspotential oder Defizite benennen. Bei diesem Urlaub und speziell dieser Unterkunft gibt es nichts zu meckern - im Gegenteil, es wurde regelmäßig gereinigt, die Ausstattung war üppiger als beschrieben, alles hat wunderbar funktioniert, das Haus ist so liebevoll und praktisch eingerichtet - wie wir es selbst auch bei Eigentum machen würden. Nichts „zusammen geschustert“ und authentisch. Obendrein haben wir uns mit der Eigentümerfamilie sehr gut angefreundet und falls nur eine Kleinigkeit gefehlt hat, wurde sich direkt sehr liebevoll gekümmert.
Von daher - 100% Weiterempfehlung!!
Hervorragend geeignet für Paare die wirklich Ruhe und Erholung suchen, liebevoll eingerichtete Villa mit schöner und gepflegter Aussenanlage inkl. Pool, mit tollem Service (alle 3-4 Tage saubergemacht, frische Wäsche und Handtücher) in wunderschöner Umgebung, ideal für viele Unternehmungen auf Kreta, Kommunikation mit Vermieterin problemlos (z.B. Whatsapp), wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und den Aufenthalt genossen
Das Haus ist praktisch hat aber im Wohnbereich keine Gemütlichkeit. Leider stand nicht in der Beschreibung das der Pool erst ab 13 Uhr (großer Baum) und bis ca. 18 Uhr Sonne hat. Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt ok.
We stayed in the Villa for two weeks. It is a very nice place with great view of the White mountains, and quiet except for the constant sound of the cicadas. The house has generous space and a nice interior. The pool area is well layed out with sufficient furniture and shade almost all day. In particular, a giant olive tree gives shade on the pool up to early afternoon, which allows bathing without worrying about sunburns.
The hosts were very helpful for all our requests, which were answered over WhatsApp rather quickly.
All in all, we had a perfect holiday, and would book the house again!
Thank you Marianna for looking after us, we’ve had a wonderful time. The Villa and surroundings were perfect.
What stunning views and beautifully quite and tranquil
Just what we wanted
We look forward to returning to Crete again soon. Our third visit and the best so far.
Thanks again
Sehr schönes Haus mit allen Annehmlichkeiten, absolut sauber, sehr nette Vermieter.
Das einzige was etwas problematisch war, dass es etwas abgelegen war.
Aber das hat uns nicht gestört.
Alles in allem war es ein sehr gelubgener Urlaub in einer fantastischen Unterkunft.
