Beautiful, well equipped villa in a perfect location

The villa itself is beautiful, probably one of the best we have stayed in. It was well equipped with good quality items and everything you could need during your stay. It was cleaned thoroughly twice a week with bathroom towels, beach towels and bedding changed on each occasion making it feel more like a hotel than a self catering Villa. Some basic food & cleaning items were also provided. The location is perfect, extremely quiet with sea views and 3 restaurants within easy walking distance even for my 80 year old parents. Fresh veg and bread (especially loved the sugared doughnuts!) were available daily from sellers who stopped right outside the villa gate. Plenty of other restaurants within 20 minutes drive. The local beach, which is opposite the villa was good for my husband & I but my elderly parents couldn't get in the water due to the stony beach which was such a shame as once you get about 6ft into the water it is beautiful soft sand.Ria was a perfect host, very informative in the lead up to the holiday and when we arrived she was attentive and a friendly face whenever we needed her but was never overbearing. She is understandably very proud of the Villa and Crete and was happy to share useful recommendations of places to visit. We had 2 very minor issues during the holiday and both were resolved extremely quickly and did not affect our stay at all. we had a fantastic holiday and would happily return to the villa if we get the chance. Thanks Ria we loved our visit.

A fantastic villa

The villa is stunning, the area is beautiful (mountains, beaches, easy access to shops, tavernas within a very short drive) and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful - even recommending car hire, restaurants, boat trips, etc). It lived up to and exceeded our expectations.

Lovely stone villa

Elina villa is lovely especially for families, hidden away in the hills with a lovely view of the sea, but within a 10 minute drive you are in Platanias or 30 minutes to Chania. We had a great holiday & this villa was everything we expected & more!

lovely peaceful getaway property

the property is large and has great facilities. perfect for a couple , i really loved this place and can't complain as its great value for money and well worth the drive from the coast. Vrbo mistrakenly placed the property drop pin in the town of Kolymbari but was infact 15 minutes in land from the location they stated, this really inconvenienced us as we had family staying in the town and needed to be nearby , this was Vrbo's fault , not the property owner and will be making a complaint to them . the Property owner was pleasant to deal with and helpful and my only complaint would be that i had to contact someone else to get the key to the property but was not getting messages / calls back on whatsapp so felt a bit stranded at 1am with no key to the place, would have been easier if they had a security box and provide me a code to get the key myself as its not a good system to rely on neighbour/ friends to meet up on arrival . apart from that every thing was very good. i would actually stay again since its such a lovely accommodation and amazing location in the hills.

Pleasant stay in ideal location

Lovely apartment with great terrace overlooking the Venetian harbour. There is a spiral staircase leading to the terrace which is quite challenging for those with mobility problems, but worth the effort. The apartment is very well equipped and there was cleaning and linen change halfway through the week. Air conditioning is very efficient which was very welcome as the weather was very hot. I loved being so close to the harbour, watching all the activity, and the Old Town with its little narrow streets and tempting shops was just round the corner. I wish I was still there!

Villa Liakada - June Vacation

We have just returned from a wonderful two week stay in Villa Liakada, Drapanias, a sleepy resort ideal for relaxing. Eleni and her husband were perfect hosts and provided a welcome pack on arrival which was much appreciated and also gave us gifts when we left. Eleni kindly picked us up and returned us to the pick up points for the coach travel back to the airport.The villa is beautifully presented and is perfectly located with the sea just 30 feet or so away. The pool area is superb and very relaxing. There are 3 tavernas within walking distance and also a small mini market. Kissamos is a charming little town with lovely restaurants on the sea front and is approx 5 kms away and easily reached by taxi for 10 Euros. We would certainly recommend a stay in Villa Liakada.

Wonderful villa with a lovely garden

Had a great 2 weeks here, lovely garden and pool. The showers in the property could have done with a hook to put the shower head into as we had to hold it. A squeegee to deal with the water from the shower on the floor would have been good too as it was very slippery once wet. We needed a car as there are no tavernas or shops nearby. The owners were lovely, they met us there to give us the keys. They explained everything well… replacing towels, bed linen and pool cleaning etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa

Lovely villa. Great host.

We had a lovely week in this property. Before we left Fabio was very helpful sending us recommendations for places to go and eat. Upon arrival and during the week Eva was great. The Villa is beautiful and up in the hills amongst the Olive groves. Easy distance to Chania and other attractions. Pool is warm and large and nice and private. Air conditioning in all rooms was fantastic in the hot summer. All in all a great week. The only minor issue was the chained up dog next door tended to bark during the night which, if you are in the back bedroom, can keep you awake. Felt very sorry for it as it was just left chained up in a dirty yard. But this is not something the owners can do anything about and does not really detract from the Villa.
