We enjoyed our house Dimitra very much. It is simple, clean, and we found it adequate in all respects. Prior to arrival we received clear (GoogleMaps) instructions for destination as well as valuable recommendations for activities and things to see around. Communication with host was prompt and competent whenever we needed something. We enjoyed the terrace with beautiful hillside view, though oriented towards SouthWest, afternoons were very hot. There helps the pool which was cool and cleaned daily. Built of stone, the house was cool enough that we didn't need to use AC. Complimentary wine in fridge was a welcome bonus :) Having a car proved to be very important for moving around & exploring (ask the host about rental, they can help). Our favourite places within 15mins drive were Kolokitha beach (in the morning, tourist boats arrive around midday!), Plaka beach & Cretan Olive Oil Farm. There are 3 of the finest restaurants in Elounda within 3 mins walking distance: Hope, BEERaki & Palio Kantouni, make sure to pay them a visit! :)

The pool and area around are a space shared with one more family so not 100% private. Didn't bother us as our co-guests were nice people. If you choose to open windows for the night, make sure to use mosquito repellent! We found some kitchenware only much later inside the stove, make sure to explore if you're missing something. :)

A stunning location with amazing views. Property seemed basic, but was very comfortable and had every thing you needed. Lovely seating area on terrace and useful fridge for those ice cold drinks. The walk up to the property might inhibit some but we enjoyed it. Ten mins down to the shops or the beach. New modern bathroom great with plenty of water. Very grateful to the property manager in Elounda Mr Bekim who looked after our luggage on the last day, and arranged taxi to airport. He also arranged for us to be met after the late arrival.of our flight

Early checkout by 11, and a late flight home meant some concerns about where to leave our luggage (four people, fours cases and bags) Mr Bekim was a star, but maybe need for more formal arrangement.

Location was very good in walking distance for shops, restaurants and beaches. The swimming pool was the saving grace and used daily as very hot when we went. It was nice to sun bathe around it. Communication with the owner and staff easy and responsive. The house was clean and had all the utilities, with air conditioner for downstairs area. Private parking next to property. Items provided - Wine, bottled water and orange juice in fridge on our arrival. Espresso machine with pods and a filter coffee machine with filters. We ate in various restaurants but returned to megaro. The supermarkets are well stocked and there is a butcher shop in the main square. Boats run daily to the island of Spinalonga. There is a road train that you can have a trip for an hour at 11am or 4 hours at 12pm with a stop to eat. Knossos is about an hour from Elounda and Placca is just down the road. You can also visit Agios Nicolas. The owners helped us arrange car rental from airport and we booked the car for the week. It’s a straight road from airport to Elounda.

A fan for the bedroom upstairs would of been useful and I’m sure if I had asked for one they would of got one for us. The bigger electrical items were dated but perfectly acceptable. Plenty of options for coffee but no tea, sugar or milk but we bought items that we needed.

The view is absolutely stunning. The house is very cosy and old therefore not as clean as an apartment would be, but we really enjoyed the traditional vibes. It’s not in the city center and is very quite in the night. There is a very nice taverna nearby, the beach is 10 min by car. Parking situation is a bit complicated there, but we were lucky and always found a spot. The stuff is nice, mr. Bekim is friendly and helpful.

Not the fault of the house but the mosquitoes were killing us at night. Also the dining area and the kitchen are on different floors and we were going up and down all the time, could be a problem for some people.

Great location. Very comfortable beds. The caretaker welcomed us and gave us good service. Its location high up in the hill had stunning views. It was also close to a lovely bar and taverna with sea views.

Very poor wi-fi. In fact it didn’t work for our iPhones. The caretaker kindly offered us his mobile phone for use as a hot spot but this was not a good solution.

lovely traditional house, owner is very helpful. don’t expect a lot of luxury, it’s a special experience to embrace the simpler aspects of living. but you have everything you need and an extraordinary view!!

had a shower problem but owner gave us the option to stay in another house for the rest of the days. great service.

House is truly one of a kind, beautifully decorated and spacious. Never been in such place before and I'm very glad that we choose this one for our last 2 nights in Creta. There is lot of narrow stairs to get to the house and inside, to the bedroom :) no problem for us, but some people might find it difficult to climb.

It was a lovely and totally genuine old Cretan house, quirky in parts but so cosy and comfortable. The owners were really welcoming. There is a great taverna just minutes away in the village and Elounda is just a pleasant 10 minutes walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Nothing… but I would say that the house and location is not ideal for someone who has a disability /difficulty with walking. There are quite a few steps and uneven ground in and around the property and village.

I really love the decoration and private pool ;))) A very warm welcome with fruit, the place is cleaned daily and the views are also beautiful. You really feel like you are in the countryside. This is a very special place because there are still the original chruch deco ! Byzantine icons

I loved everything about the flat, the one point of improvement could be the kitcjen utensils. A pasta strainer, some bowls, a good chopping knife.

It says traditional homes of Crete and that’s exactly what we got ! Don’t get me wrong it’s not a pristine perfect hotel but that’s not what we wanted! As they say ‘it does exactly what it says on the tin ‘ Brilliant!!!

The air con wasn’t great but open the window and breath the fresh air ! Listen to the outside !
