Interior Layout


Hidden in a peaceful lane within the charming village of Prines, Villa Elli is a fully renovated private retreat designed for up to 8 guests, where contemporary comfort meets authentic Cretan living.


Surrounded by lush gardens, olive trees, colorful flowers, and beautifully curated outdoor spaces, the villa offers a boutique-style hospitality experience focused on privacy, relaxation, and outdoor living.


Inside, Villa Elli features four elegant bedrooms, three of them located on the ground floor and the one on the loft, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms, premium multi-layer sleep systems, and high-quality hypoallergenic bedding designed to provide a deeply restful stay. The contemporary interiors combine designer furniture, warm lighting, and modern entertainment amenities, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere throughout the villa.


Outdoor living lies at the heart of the experience. Guests can enjoy the main swimming pool surrounded by designer sun loungers and Mediterranean gardens, as well as a private plunge pool for moments of complete privacy and relaxation.


The fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining area invites guests to enjoy open-air cooking and long summer dinners beside the pool, while the outdoor lounge spaces and open-air cinema with projector create unforgettable evenings under the Cretan sky.


Adding a truly authentic touch to the stay, Mrs. Elli -- the owner who lives nearby -- occasionally shares seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs, and homemade treats from her organic garden.


Located just a short drive from the beaches and the vibrant town of Rethymno, Villa Elli is the perfect base for experiencing the beauty and relaxed rhythm of Crete.
