Elounda Eleon Villas

The accommodation receives praise for its immaculate cleanliness, comfortable beds, and attentive staff. Guests appreciate the peaceful surroundings and well-maintained property, but some mention the modern appearance.

We have just finished our second visit to Eleon suites in Elounda. Maria was the best host and ensured everything was to our satisfaction. The kitchen had been upgraded since our visit last year and was an amazing improvement to an already brilliant suite. The beds are extremely comfortable but what we really like is the private pool... whilst not huge the pools are big enough for a little swim and a form of aqua aerobic exercise plus brilliant for a cool off and they are quite deep.. I'm 5ft 10 and the water came up to be shoulders when stood up... all one depth. The fridge was stocked with a bottle of wine and some pop and there were coffee pods available. Zeta the cleaning lady was a joy to see every day. She always had a smile, a laugh with a quick chat. She was very efficient in and out of the room without too much fuss. She is a true credit to the whole team at Eleon. The pool man (sorry I don't know his name) was also the maintenance man and any problem was fixed immediately and the pool was topped up and cleaned daily. Maria kept in touch on WhatsApp and was very communicative about the check in and check out process. The small complex is based 2 miles out from elounda main square. The road is quite busy walking in with about the first 1/2 mile with no pavements but generally flat. However the complex itself is on a very steep hill... obviously the higher the number of the suite the steeper the hill.... not to be undertaken whilst inebriated 😁.... There is access to the sea not far. This did mean diving into the sea off rocks with access steps available. There is a "beach" a little further down the road with easier access in and out through a "harboured"area. This beach has a bar situated but it has never been open all the time we have been there. 2 weeks last year and 1 week this year and is part of Elounda blu hotel. Amazing stay, amazing people, we will definitely be back.

Large "mini" villa. Spacious and light main room with kitchenette. All in good order. Large bathroom with whirlpool bath. Very clean, great staff. Quiet location, about 3k walk into town. There is a mini market 5 min down the hill which has simple provisions, ice cream, beer and wine. Its an easy walk down, takes about 20 min or or 10 euro cab ride. There is a shop in town, Euromart, that will take a whatsapp order and deliver. They will also deliver salads/coffee from Blend, their coffee shop next door. The drive up to the apartment is steep, the taxi's drop you at the bottom. We were near the top, only about 30m walk up if that, but you might struggle if you have mobility issues. Loved it, recomended.
