Fabulous stay in a very comfortable well equipped villa with private pool. Elias warmly welcomed us on arrival, ably explaining all the essentials for our stay, including supplying a hearty Greek breakfast at 10 euros a pop which was great value, so we took advantage of it on the first morning of our stay. We had 'Villa 7' which has a one big room, kitchenette and separate bathroom, aircon and private pool on the adjacent terrace. Stunning sea views complemented the relaxed feel of the place and we spent most days chilling in the glorious sunshine which we had until around early evening. The addition of a parasol and our own olive tree gave some respite from the sun when need be, taking our meals under them was a sheer delight. If you're wanting a gym, beauty treatments on-site bars, something for the kids to do, got itchy feet, can't sit still for long and a communal area then this place isn't, I suggest, for you. If you are seeking peace and quiet, your own space look no further, ideal for couples and a base for trekking over to Elounda, Plake and Agios Nikolaos. Be aware its up a steepish drive, so if mobility is an issue you might want to think about it, nevertheless, its only a thirty second decent - a bit more when full of ouzo and gyros on the way up!! Euro Mart supermarket deliver, just send them a WhatsApp, a nearby cafe does also with cakes, wraps and delicacies freshly squeezed juices. We found a local taverna willing to send us souvlakia, Greek salads etc for lunch which was a real treat. The shower and kitchenette hobs we found a bit fiddly to start with but soon mastered them so it might be an idea to get the welcome team on arrival to demonstrate the technique to save a modicum of minor frustration. Can't praise the team at Eleon Villas enough nothing was to much trouble, Zeta came in everyday to clean the room and change towels everyday other day, an absolute star as was Elias! On arrival we found soft drinks, a bottle of wine cooling in the fridge and a home baked cake! Ideal for Elounda which is a 10 euro cab fare or a leisurely 35 minute walk or 15 euros to Plaka to visit Spinalonga and possibly my favourite bar in the World 'The Pine Tree' (fabulous meze with your ouzo). We'll be going back (we booked through EasyJet holidays and organised private transfers (about 130 euros -shop around before you go to pre-book) to save the 2-3 hour transfer from Heraklion. By the way a new airport is being built, operational by 2027, which will cut down the transfer times to this part of the Island and save the hassle of the adequate but totally overstretched current airport. Loved it, so much we left with heavy hearts!!!

Simply a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the peaceful location. The suites are kept immaculately clean and fresh towels and bedding every other day!. We ordered the breakfast delivery from Maria the owner and it was excellent and very good value. She also is on hand by mobile should you require help for anything else. The walk into Elounda is about 25 minutes it was a bit tiring in the heat but we always got a taxi back at 10 euros. There is a mini market about 10 mins away , we also found the beach bar was open by the Elounda Breeze hotel down at the sea front where there are sunbeds etc if you didn't want to walk into the town. I highly recommend the Eleon villas and suites if you are looking for excellent accommodation with privacy and having your own pool and no rush to get up for a sunbed!!. We will come back one day!!

Had a lovely 4 nights at Eleon Elounda Villas in Sept 2022, Stayed with friends and our villa was located at the top of the very steep hill, The villa had 3 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms all very well equipped. The 2 beds on the first floor are via a spiral staircase which is experience , watch your head on the way down! Pool is fresh and size is good for a dip and cool down. Views are amazing Taxi is 9 euros one way or a 20 min walk Small beach location 10 min walk away (Tui Blu ) have a bar (cash only )
Had a lovely time !

Just back from a wonderful holiday here and would highly recommend. Maria the host was so welcoming and was still there to greet us despite our arrival at 3am due to our delayed flight. We had two suites (family of 4) both with a sea view and private pool. Lovely and clean, modern, and comfortable. A peaceful location about a 25 mins walk (3k) from Elounda main square and beach. We didn't hire a car but taxi's were easy to get (€10 back from or to Elounda centre) when we didn't fancy the walk. There is a small supermarket nearby and a bigger one in Elounda which will deliver free of charge. Loads of great restaurants in Elounda, so much choice. Would definitely return!

We’ve just had a three day stay at Elounda Eleon Villas. We had a wonderful welcome from Maria who seems like a lovely lady. We were shown our suite and we’re given the higher one for a better view which was superb. The suite and garden area including pool were modern and very clean. It really is a lovely suite and the area was so quiet and peaceful. The staff were very courteous and friendly and did a great job of keeping everything as it should be. It’s about 2.5 km to where I would consider the town and that’s about a 30 minute pleasant stroll, coming back we grabbed a cab at €10 though as after a few beers and food, would have been a bit of a treck. I don’t think that most would need a car to stay here as long as you’re ok with the walk and maybe utilising the taxis sometimes. We love Elounda itself and booked this accomodation on a whim for a few days of our longer break. Im really glad we did as it is a lovely quiet area and we had all we needed for our stay and the hosts were wonderful. I would recommend staying here

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.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home. Our suite was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The outside area was fantastic with its private pool. The pool is not large but it is heaven to slip into when you start to over heat and is plenty big enough for two to float about on lilos. This is a little out of the way so a car is recommended, the nearest shop is about 5-10 mins walk but only has essentials. The suits are set on a fairly steep hill, however we were able to park outside our gate. The owner is very friendly but not intrusive. We would highly recommend if you want a quiet location. We will definatley be going back.

A new experience for me booking a package with EasyJet but no need to be concerned. A few days before arrival I made contact with Maria, I had decided to make my own transfer and had a little issue with mobility after hip surgery but nothing too much trouble, she was a star, communication was simple and she took away any worries I might have had. I won’t repeat many previous reviews as it’s clear that the suites are wonderful and lack for nothing, what will take your breath away are the views! Often you’ll be promised a sea view, trust me this accommodation delivers and then some. I’m reluctantly giving this top score, not because it doesn’t deserve it, for it most definitely does, but because I think this will make it harder for me to come back here once everyone else realises how good it is. ❤️

Maria and the team were very welcoming and friendly, although unobtrusive. There were some lovely personal touches with homemade cake, lemonade and raki on arrival. The villa was beautiful and well maintained. Both the villa and pool were spotlessly clean throughout the stay. The villa was well situated with a great view and a gentle 30 minute walk into the town, with parking outside the villa. We had a lovely time, thank you!

Love this place but you need transport taxi/car or scooter if you want to venture out. Great place, great service . Very relaxing. Although you are close to your neighbours everyone respects privacy.
