up in the mountains. brilliant view. 10 euro in taxi to town. Great team that looked afer us. loved it.

The villa is absolutely stunning and more than we hoped for. Inside was fully stocked with welcome food plus excellent cooking utensils/pans etc. there wasn’t a useable kettle at the property however microwave/hob are easy enough to use. Bedrooms are very comfortable and offer exceptional vista. The view can not be beaten it’s amazing- we took binoculars which we used everyday for boats/birds of prey and roaming goats on the hillside. The air con in bedrooms on lower floor, was not as efficient as some previous properties we have rented, however this did not impact the overall experience. We sat outside every evening watching the harbour lights - there was a power cut one evening (common in Elounda) the changing sky and view were magical. The driveway was tricky to navigate with a people carrier as it is quite steep, so we would recommend a smaller car. We would absolutely consider staying at Villa Hestia again, the only request we would make is a more convenient time for cleaning, with young children and cooking 6-8pm sometimes later, did interrupt the evenings x3 times. The pool was clean and a good temperature (slightly colder on windy days!) garden is stunning and sheep next door were a novelty! Adequate shade when needed and plenty of outside seating. Decor and comfort inside and out were excellent. Staff and management were polite, helpful and quick to respond. Thank you for an overall wonderful holiday location, possibly the best villa we have had yet!

Gorgeous villa in a stunning location. I have nothing negative to say! Absolutely fantastic ❤️

Just returned from a very relaxing two weeks at Villa Hestia. The villa is positioned on the hillside with fabulous views across the bay. It is well equipped, clean and comfortable and the welcome pack of basics is a nice touch on arrival. The pool area is large and private with plenty of sun loungers. The drive into town takes about 10 minutes and Elounda is a vibrant village with lots of bars, restaurants and general ammenities. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Overall a beautiful property in a lovely location.

A week of beautiful weather and relaxation at Villa Hestia, the villa worked perfectly for the five of us, and we absolutely loved the pool area - the views from here and from nearly every room in the villa are simply stunning. Local taverna Mamma Mio (about 15 mins walk away) was a blast, great food and atmosphere. Can't wait to come back!

Five star view with five star outdoor accommodations BUT beware that if you’re driving the house is difficult to get to, very narrow roads up the mountain and the driveway with the large van we had for our five person family was tricky to navigate because of the steep inclines. That aside, we loved the house, spacious bathrooms, large bedrooms, amazing outdoor space and pool and sitting areas and views-wow!! Peaceful, 8 minutes to Elounda center and 14 minutes to plaka. We would go back in a second! Julian is the caretaker and he is responsive, helpful, friendly. We loved our week there and will dream of the views to fuel us all year. A truly enjoyable stay!!!

Lovely villa, in a great location overlooking the bay, with stunning views. Loved the outdoor space. Comfortable and clean. A perfect stay for our family, just wished it was longer. Thank you so very much

This was our first time in Elounda and we chose this villa because of its location. We weren’t disappointed. The views are spectacular! The villa is amazing. Julian was very helpful and friendly as was Esmeralda. We had the most amazing holiday and hope to return at some point in the future.
