We stayed here for a week and we had a wonderful time. The breakfast was a great start, the surrounding a great morning, the swimming pool a great afternoon and the restaurant a great evening. Sitting in front of our private house, we reflected on another day in paradise... OK, vegetarian dishes were somewhat limited but salads and vegetables make... More

Everything everyone says about Manolis and Eleonas is true. We will be coming back. We spent a week here April-May and were guided and helped by Manolis to the best of experiences in the area. But simply staying at your cottage for the day - what with the pool, the views and the food and wine is just great. We... More

We stayed at Eleonas for a week with our 3 children in mid April and had a lovely, relaxing time. Manolis never seems to stop working and really seems to care about making sure everyone has a good time. He was very helpful about advising on excursions and went out of his way to ensure our son got to watch... More

Only stayed one night in the end of april 2012. Extremely friendly staff, beautiful location with a possibility of alot of activities. Excellent home made food. Will probably go back to Crete just to stay at this place, bot ideally you should stay for a minimum of 3 nights (it's a pretty long drive from Chania/Heraklion (2 hours).

We wanted a base to do some walking and wild flower spotting. Eleonas was perfect. We found the best walk for flowers in the district was right by the location itself. As a bonus the cottages are very comfortable, the staff are superb, the excellent food was local but diverse and the swimming pool refreshing. The pool is not heated... More

It is rare to find a place to stay that is both beautiful and fun for kids. There are spectacular views, fun activities for children, comfortable cottages, excellent food and friendly staff. It's tucked away in a mountain village and still close enough to the important sights of Crete. This will be a hotel that we will always remember.

Eleonas is a great place to stay. The romantic little houses have a great view, are perfectly cleaned and equipped with everything you need. Staff is extremely friendly and manager Manos is a super guy! He gives you perfect advice on trips to do in Crete. I can recommend Eleonas to everyone! Price - quality one of the best!

There is nothing like Cretan hospitality. We got lost looking for a 15th-century monastery and a man, who invited us for coffee, recommended this hotel in the next town, Zaros. We went there without looking it up in our guide, and when we saw the site - and the rooms - we knew we had something special. This is a... More

This property was an amazing find, and we couldn't agree more with the praise in previous reviews. My fiance and I were legally married prior to our arrival, and we thought that Eleonas would be an ideal place for a simple, quaint, vows ceremony. Manolis arranged for one staff member to "officiate" our ceremony and one to take pictures. We... More
