Arhontika Villas

It's a cosy house about 200m from Elos (take the road up directly between the kastanofolia restaurant and the pharmacy and follow it until you reach a big green gate). The host gave us a very warm welcome with fresh fruits, drinks and homemade cake! The jacuzzi is absolutely lovely any time of year.

Pool is unheated and mostly in the shade later in the year, but the jacuzzi is adjustable to any temperature! A few towel rods in the bathroom would be useful, but there's a foldable clothes rack outside.

Awesome place in the charming village of Elos which is a perfect base for exploring the magnificent beaches of Western Crete. The host was very friendly and responsive, gave us a warm welcome on arrival and even provided wine, fresh fruit, and the most delicious cake ever! Facilities are excellent and lots of little personal touches make this house feel special. Excellent value and highly recommended!

Pool and outside area

No dishwasher

The house is exceptional. It was all you can think of and more. We called our host who picked us up. The jacuzzi was a dream come true, as was the pool. We had an amazing time, felt welcome and at home. The town is also very friendly and nice, 4 tavernas and a mini market.

The decorations and pictures were not my style, but this is a matter of individual taste and didn‘t matter much since everything else was just superb.

What an amazing place !! Michael and his mom were so nice and helpful to us . The villa is so beautiful and well equipped with everything you need. They have thought of everything to make your stay as relaxing as possible . We will definitely be returning here.

Nothing it was fabulous.

Nice remote location with a very nice local city. People in this city are very welcoming and kind. The place was very nice and clean. All furniture was of high quality. The city has all you need for a nice luxury getaway.

Beautiful villa in a quiet village in the mountains. Clean, spacious with lots of goodies left by the host. Homemade olive oil, honey, cakes and much more, perfect to start off our stay. The village has 3 tavernas serving traditional Cretan cuisine, a small mini mart and a pharmacy. If you want privacy, peace and quiet, with your own pool, beautiful mountain views and a hot tub for the chilly nights then this is for you

Absolutely nothing, could not fault this villa, a perfect base for our Cretan adventure
