September 2026, Villa One
We have stayed here three times now and this time we went with friends as well. Every visit feels like home from home. From the minute you arrive you are welcomed and looked after by Katerina and the team. All that's left to do is relax and unwind and enjoy the pool and outdoor space along with the exceptional cuisine.

This villa was perfect for our large group of friends. We had 17 people and everyone fit comfortably. The villa is well equipped, enjoys breathtaking views of the town of Elounda, the sea and Spinalonga. It was meticulously cleaned daily. My friends and I enjoyed cocktails by the pool every night before dinner while the kids played ping pong, swam in the pool or enjoyed tennis. Katerina our host was the most wonderful person!! She assisted us in our every wish and desire with kindness always. She truly is the kindest person! On our last day she gave us thoughtful gifts from Crete which made our stay even more memorable. We can't wait to go back.

We have just spent an incredible 7 days at The Elounda Villas celebrating my husband's 50th birthday with friends, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We made memories that will last a lifetime. The villas were beautiful, spacious, and impeccably maintained, with stunning views and a lovely pool that was perfect for relaxing. The villas were cleaned daily to an exceptional standard, making our stay even more enjoyable. Every member of staff made us feel so welcome and helped make our trip truly unforgettable. A special thank you to Katerina, the Villa Manager, who went above and beyond every single day. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she was always there with a warm smile and a friendly "good morning" or "good evening." Her attention to detail and genuine care made our stay extra special, and she is a real credit to The Elounda Villas. The authentic Greek food was absolutely delicious, and every meal was a highlight of our stay. We highly recommend The Elounda Villas to anyone looking for a luxurious, relaxing, and unforgettable holiday. Thank you to everyone for making our celebration so special-we can't wait to return!

We had a wonderful stay at The Villas in Elounda. The villa was beautiful, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay in Crete. The location was perfect for exploring Elounda and the surrounding area, while still feeling peaceful and private. A very special thank you to Katarina, the house manager, who truly made our stay exceptional. The chef was incredible. Ate some of the best meals of my life! We would absolutely recommend!

We rented both Villas for a large family reunion this past week. Our family came from all over the US as well as Europe. We have done this in the past in 2 other European countries and this, by far, was the best accommodations we have found. In addition to the beauty of the Villas, the setting, the on-site perks such as exercise facilities, basketball, pickleball, tennis, playground, and much more, and the proximity to beaches, restaurants and sites, the most wonderful perk was the house manager, Katerina, and her staff, many of whom are her family! If we asked, we got it! I was not involved at all in the planning of this trip and really didn't know much about the Villas, so l was so incredibly surprised at the beauty and level of service we were treated to. Crete is an amazing island and Elounda the Villas is a 10! 1 truly hope to return soon!

Great stay! We spent our family trip here and it exceeded every expectation. Katerina was the perfect host - warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The pool was fantastic, perfect for cooling off and relaxing with the whole family. The rooms were beautiful and spotlessly clean, and the views were simply stunning — the kind you don't want to leave. Every detail of the villa was thoughtfully taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better home base for our time in Greece. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable, beautiful, and welcoming stay. We'll definitely be back!

A beautiful well equipped villa with stunning views in a fabulous location. The owner couldn't have been more helpful organising transfers, boat trips, restaurants etc. and the house keeping was superb. I would highly recommend this villa.

Katerina was wonderful! She gave us first class treatment. Nothing was ever too much. We felt like family from day one. Her cleaning staff were excellent and very friendly. The villa was beautiful with views you dream of! Slightly tired in places with a few broken shutters but all in all it was the perfect world for a week with family. Thank you Katerina for looking after us all so well!

Amazing villa with a top view over the beautiful bay, mountains and chrystal clear water. Katerina gave us excellent services and advice. Lovely terrace with fresh pool. High standard tennis court and a small gym. Very good cleaning. We stayed 19 people in different ages for a week and we can highly recommend this top quality vacation site!

Just returned from a week at the villa. Oh my god what an amazing place. Katerina and her team were really great hosts, they were there but not intrusive, helpful, informative and always with a smile. The place was clean beautiful and had everything you wanted. We even had a bake competition ( Cyprus vs Crete) with Katerina at the villa. Katerina made us a really nice eliopsomo (olive bread) and I made Pittes tis satzis (Cyprus Pancakes). Thank you for everything the week was absolute perfection.

Amazing Villa in Crete! The infinity pool is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that made every moment feel special. The villa itself is beautiful, luxurious, and perfectly maintained. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional service from Katerina and her team. They were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. We completely fell in love with this place and can't wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a perfect getaway in Crete!

You can't get closer to heaven! High above Elounda Bay, with the azure sea glittering below, and sunsets behind surrounding hills of olive trees, life can only be made better by Katarina and her team of talented and attentive staff. Days begin with fresh homemade baking and local Cretan delicacies, and end with cuisine worthy of five stars. We rented the whole estate for a week with 13 couples, yet the vast property of terraces, gardens, pools, tennis court, outdoor lounging and dining, and crisp bright immaculate interiors, quickly felt as intimate as home. Katarina got to know individual preferences quickly, and well enough to navigate quirks with creativity and humor! A memorable week that we hope to repeat very soon!

What an amazing time we have had here. Everything has been just perfect. He have been so spoiled from the great care to the amazing food prepared for us. The children have loved using the pool daily, and the surrounding areas did not disappoint either. Going home will be a hard transition from this beautiful sanctuary. Thank you for everything.

Words cannot express what an amazing trip this was to the Elounda Villas! My husband and I planned this stay for my birthday with 25 friends. The villas are clean, modern, and set up perfectly with each bedroom having its own private bathroom. The views are spectacular and the pool was the perfect place to relax. Marina, the owner, helped up plan every detail up until we arrived. The villa manager, Katerina, and the other on site staff treated us like family ensuring everyone had every need met. The villa far exceeded our expectations! Everything was perfect for an unforgettable birthday.

This villa will forever hold a special place in me and my now husband’s heart. We had the honour of having an intimate wedding here at this villa. We also had the pleasure of staying here too and the memories my family and friends created here are ones we’ll cherish forever. Fotini, Katerina, Yannis & Anna truly cared for us like we were family. Truly we had tears in our eyes as we departed because of how close we felt to them & now much we appreciated what they did for us during our time here. Clearly I can go on and on about our experience. 10/10 - we love this team, Villa & Crete, Greece. Love

What an unforgettable week we had here! The property is as advertised - beautiful views, well appointed, comfortable for multiple families traveling together. Marina and her onsite partners took wonderful care of us, helping to arrange experiences and outings that made our vacation one of the best we've had. They went above and beyond to make all of us feel so welcome. Highly recommend the villa for your next holiday!

We had a wonderful stay in Villa Elounda II, the view was so beautiful, and the villa was lovely. Daily cleaning was great, and the staff were very friendly and discreet. The beds were comfortable too! The pool and hot tub were kept perfectly clean, and Anna was super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this villa! All the staff that we have dealt with have been lovely - from Nikos for car hire to the boat trip Skipper and crew. Thanks again

The villa is gorgeous and luxurious. It was perfect for our group of 12 to spread out and enjoy. But the host, Marina, and villa manager, Anna, took it to the next level. From helping us pick and book hiking trips, boat trips, car rentals, etc., to helping us book a doctor appointment and get medicine for our littlest traveller with an ear infection, Marina and Anna took care of our every need. They made travel across the globe as easy as being at home, but much more fun.

Heaven on earth! Just unbelievably beautiful and Anna our host and her team have taken care of our every need. Quite simply our best family holiday this far. Highly recommended! Would come back in a heartbeat!

To me, the true gauge of a space is how you feel when you wake up... the sheets against your skin, the light pouring through the window, the fragrant smells wafting in... and stepping outside and being immersed in another world that was created just for you to experience. The inspiring design, the details... and all of this remains imprinted for years to come, ultimately changing who you are. That is the power a space can have…
