Villa Elani exceeded all of my expectations. The villa's facilities were all excellent, and the location was perfect - situated overlooking an incredible view of the med and within walking distance to the small town of Agia Gallini. With great food, beautiful beaches, friendly locals and plenty of historical sites to visit (short disctance by car), Eleni was a great choice! I'd happily go back again.

Time flies... so we are back again in the netherlands.
We like to let you know that we enjoyed your place and its environment very much.
Really a special combination of views, privacy, quietness & comfort!
Of course the weather did help!
My children and I had a wonderful time, not only was the weather absolutely perfect, but the villa was as well. Not only was the location superb with the most amazing views, but the quality of the accommodation first class, with everything we could want available.
I would heartily recommend the villa to anyone and can't wait to go back

Many thanks for letting us use your wonderful house. Everything was on hand that we needed and we felt very much at home. What was really impressive was the fantastic location – complete peace and quiet. Your descriptions of the house and the surrounding area matched what we found exactly. We would absolutely recommend your house to anybody who is looking for this kind of holiday.
What a fabulous, peaceful place Villa Eleni is!! ...
...The three of us would like to thank you for allowing us to use your excellent villa, we had the quietest most peaceful 14 days holiday we have ever had. From the first night laid on the sunbeds watching the shooting stars and the satelittes passing across a totaly pollution free sky thro' to being awoken from a mid afternoon snooze by the eagles (or as a local told us buzzards!) screeching in the sky. This two weeks was what we all needed and was thoroughly enjoyed. But, back to reality and work so this is the first opportunity I have had to contact you.
Please feel free to add this e-mail to your website as I will without doubt be telling people what a fabulously relaxing place you have.
"Cette maison est magnifique c'est un lieu idéal de calme
dans une ambiance chaleureuse. C'est vraiment une très belle réussite et un
grand plaisir pour ceux qui ont la chance d'y séjourner. Merci à
vous"
Translation - This is a magnificent house, in an ideal peaceful location with a

who have the good fortune to stay there. Thank you.

Dear Sally,
We want to let you know that we had an enjoyable holliday in
'Villa Eleni'. The villa is very neat and offers all necessary facilities. The
peace and quit was breathtaking and de view of the montains and the sea was
fantastic. Besides, the coffee, jam, wine ..... was pleasant
surprise.
Everything and I mean everything was just brilliant. I cannot
find a fault. What a beautiful surprise on discovering the villa. Fantastic.
The children loved it.
Thank you for
everything

Dear
Sally,
We just got back from Crete.
We had a very relaxing time in
Villa Eleni. The villa is very thoughtfully equipped and nicely furnished and
most of all in a lovely landscape. I wished I had that view from my kitchen or
dining table here...
You never know when you book a villa from the
internet what it will be really like when you get there. But Villa Eleni is as
described on your website, very comfortable and relaxing.
We went to
Triopetra, Plakias and to Moni Preveli and so other places. The nicest walk was
from Moni Odigitrias to the sea. In Agia Galini we like the little fish taverna
"Faros" best, but we also found "Onar" a friendly place with good food.
We had an interesting experience one night when a little owl was stuck
in the chimney. We freed it after we had managed to open the cover in the
chimney which Mary had explained over the phone...
I don't know when I
will go back to Crete the next time, but Villa Eleni is definetely on my list
for good places!
So thanks very much - also for reacting so promptly and
sending Mary around again.
What a lovely villa you have designed and built
here on the hillside. Works so well for living upstairs and with the wide
balcony; yet even better with the terrace off the main bedroom. A splendid and
secluded location. We have had a most fantastic stay, but all too short. Thank
you for organising everything so nicely for us. The weather has been wonderful
and as a result, were able to enjoy the pool. I hope we might get the
opportunity of returning. Thank you for everything once again.
I wanted
to let you know how much we enjoyed your comfortable and beautiful home. I
cannot begin to describe how much pleasure we got from the exceptional view and
scenery. Whether by the poolside, or on one of the terraces or looking out the
windows, the view is always breathtaking - we spent most of our time just
staring!!
We explored all of the local beaches (I met Elvira, the German
woman married to the shepherd, who has lounge chairs and umbrellas at the next
beach over from Nikos tavern). We also went to the three beaches at agios pavlos
and followed many of your suggestions for day trips and restaurants. Thank you
for being so thorough.
As my husband and daughter went sailing in
Mirtos the week before, we didn't end up calling the sail boat people you
referred us to - it will have to be for another trip...
I also wanted
you to know that Mary is a wonderful caretaker. She was available whenever
needed and was just lovely!
Thank you again for all - everything went so smoothly from start
to finish.
Kind regards
Joan
ps. just had to mention, my 5 year
old son learned to swim without "wings" in YOUR pool - as he was in it every
waking moment that we were at the house, I think he will remember your pool for
many years to come!
Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux dans votre maison
, dans une nature calme et reposante , avec les aigles comme seul compagnon le
matin . ... Tout était parfait .
Vous remerciant
encore pour notre séjour Salutations distinguées
Myriam et Benoît
(Translation: We had a marvellous stay in your house, in calm and relaxing
surroundings, with the eagles our only companion in the morning. ... Everything
was perfect. Thanking you again for our stay.
Just a quick note to say thank you for letting us share your fabulous villa last
week. We had a very relaxing holiday, weather was good apart from rain on one
day.
The villa is so comfortable and well equipped (and with those fantastic views)
we didn't go far, just lazed about in and out of the pool with short trips for
dinner in the evenings.
As we were so lazy we used your recommendations for restaurants, and then once
we had been to Onars on the first evening we kept going back as it was so nice,
food was good and the owner was so welcoming.
Just wanted to let you both know what a good time we had.
Visited for a short break in March/April 09. Thouroughly
enjoyed the visit. The house was wonderful and the views breathtaking. The
hillsides were covered in flowers - yellow daisies and buttercups and purple
orchids. Weather was very mixed with two days rain, but three sunny. Arrived in
the middle of a powercut (!) but the villa has a back up generator so that was
fine. Glad we had central heating as the nights in March are quite cold.
