ELIA village house .

Το Elia Village House είναι ένα παραδοσιακό κρητικό σπίτι, ένα τυπικό παράδειγμα τοπικής αρχιτεκτονικής του 18ου αιώνα. Είναι ο τύπος του κρητικού πέτρινου σπιτιού που ήταν ο πιο διαδεδομένος τύπος κατοικίας σε ολόκληρη την Κρήτη.
Η κύρια περιοχή του σπιτιού χωρίζεται από ένα τόξο, και στις πλευρές δημιουργεί τέσσερις χώρους που έχουν λειτουργική αυτονομία χωρίς να καταστρέφουν την ενότητα του χώρου. Σήμερα σε αυτούς τους χώρους, είναι η κουζίνα, η τραπεζαρία και το σαλόνι. Στο κεντρικό κτίριο του σπιτιού προστέθηκε ένα άλλο κτίριο, επικοινωνώντας εσωτερικά με δύο αψίδες. Αυτός ο χώρος χρησιμοποιείται ως αποθήκη για την αποθήκευση διαφόρων οικιακών σκευών και γλάστρες.
Σήμερα, υπάρχει η κύρια κρεβατοκάμαρα του σπιτιού, η τουαλέτα, όπου μπορείτε να δείτε ένα μέρος του βράχου, πάνω στο οποίο είναι χτισμένο το σπίτι και η σκάλα που οδηγεί στο ξύλινο πάτωμα υπνοδωμάτιο και στη βεράντα.
Από εδώ η θέα, τα χρώματα και η αίσθηση της φύσης είναι μοναδικά.
Το σπίτι του Elia Village House είναι ιδανικό για να χαλαρώσετε, να εξερευνήσετε και να γνωρίσετε καλύτερα την κρητική ύπαιθρο. Απόλαυσέ το.

The house is in a quiet mountain village with wonderful views all around of mountains and the sea. The host met us very kindly late at night after we had a long drive from the airport, showing us the house etc. Food and drinks were left for us in the fridge, also other items for living there which was very kind and welcome to start our holiday. House is lovely and comfortable, just the shower is a little difficult to live with as it's open to the small bathroom. Also to note, one of the reasons we booked the house was it's proximity to a taverna within walking distance, as the village is quite remote. It's closed. This means a car drive to eat out. Otherwise it's a lovely peaceful place to relax and enjoy the landscape in a super house

Away from the Madding Crowd

Elia is a beautiful old property with all mod cons in a stunning location. We stayed six nights and couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay here. The house is beautifully styled and the view from the upstairs deck is stunning. Eirini was so generous with providing general food provisions including butter, milk, bread, eggs, cheese, ham, beer, fresh fruit, etc. plus all the other basics even washing powder for washing machine. The location is perfect, there is a lovely taverna only 50m away which serves the best food but is a very quiet taverna and you are not bothered by noise at all even being that close. It is so nice each day after returning from the busy touristy locations to return to the quiet and peaceful haven of the village. A short walk away from the house is the Minoan site of Chalasmenos which is certainly worth a visit. Thanks Eirini for a fantastic stay, we loved your house!

Peaceful mountain getaway

Charming, tranquil cottage in a small mountain village. Lovely daytime views of the Aegean Sea to the north across the valley below, but our favorite view was at night, looking straight up at the stars and the clearly visible Milky Way. Excellent taverna just a few steps away, though unfortunately the café mentioned by others has closed. You will find the refrigerator extremely well-stocked. Three good air conditioning units to keep things cool on hot summer days. If you're a cat lover you're in luck, as there are many of them wandering around outside and quite a few are friendly. The shower area is a bit small, so if you are a large person you might have a tight squeeze, but aside from that it's hard to find any problems with this delightful place.

This property is the most AMAZING place I have ever stayed!! The house is the cutest place! There is a cafe that Sophie runs, and every breakfast was spectacular. Then there is a tavern just a few steps away from upstairs patio, the food and the view cannot be best! EIRINI was the best host I have ever had the pleasure to stay with!

Amazing home in a traditional village!

A short drive up from the highway brings you to the traditional village of Monastiraki, right beside the spectacular Gorge of Ha. It’s an amazing location and Eirini’s home is absolutely stunning. This beautifully restored stone house is comfortable and you’re immediately aware that you’re staying somewhere special. The roof deck provides a view all the way out to the sea and the interior has beautiful and unique artwork in every room. The kitchen was fully stocked and Eirini was always available to take our calls. She was so helpful in providing suggestions on places to visit. Definitely worth the short drive to Koutsounari Long Beach for a swim and a visit to Alatsi Taverna, which has the truly delicious food and is on the most beautiful beach on Crete.

A tiny bit of Heaven

Well, where should I start: It was exquisite - absolutely what we were looking for. We stayed in many places in many countries but this place was by far the most memorable. It is simple - but that is the charm. I even can't say it was the perfect imperfection - because there was no imperfection for us. The view of the roof terrace was to die for. The house very well and tastefully appointed. The fridge - as many others pointed out - stocked to the max. The Wifi was working very well too. We actually decided on the location because of the house. The village is very small (maybe 10 houses) and there are 2 Tavernas. I was told the best around and we tried both. Real Cretan food. It was all we wished for - authentic and delicious. It is a very quiet place with very friendly people. We LOVED it and would stay there again in a heart beat. Many thanks to Eirini! She is a wonderful host.

Best experience

Irene was the best host I’ve ever experienced! When arriving, she greeted us at the entrance of the village and showed us to where we would be staying. She had the refrigerator stocked with local foods and plenty of water. The told contact us any time if we needed anything, no matter the time. The village was small, as expected, but it was beautiful. The view from the balcony was breathtaking no matter the time of day. The local taven was a few steps away from the home and the food was 10/10. Overall I felt like we were at a home away from home. If I’m ever back in Crete, I will be staying here again!

We absolutely loved everything about our stay- the village and its travernas, the house that had everything we would ever need, the outstanding views of the sea, we would come back anytime! We have a cousin that lives close and he is very familiar with the area too, which was an additional perk to our stay. Irena could not have been a better host. Thank you!

Belle maison en pierre à flanc de montagne avec la mer à l’horizon

Cette maison nous a tellement plu voici trois ans que nous avons voulu y séjourner pour un retour en Crête. Elle se trouve dans un petit village ancien à flanc de montagne, à 10 mn de la côte avec ses restaurants, en particulier Porto Kanaki, aux plats variés et à l’accueil chaleureux, et de la route vers Agios Nicolaos d’un côté, vers Sitia de l’autre. Depuis la maison on a une vue réjouissante sur une plaine d’oliviers et sur la mer, et, au-delà, sur Agios Nicolaos. La maison est calme, reposante, juste animée par quelques chats amicaux du voisinage. C’est une maison de pierre, avec une arche en plein cintre à l’intérieur, restaurée et décorée avec goût, dont plusieurs gravures sur métal. Elle dispose de tout le confort moderne souhaité, et de tout le nécessaire pour la vie ordinaire. Eirini nous a accueillis chaleureusement, nous laissant des fruits et d’autres aliments, comme pour des amis.

Schöne Unterkunft in absolut ruhiger Gegend

Elia Village ist ein altes, schön hergerichtetes Steinhaus auf zwei Etagen in absolut ruhiger Gegend. Für zwei Erwachsene gut geeignet. Mit vier Erwachsenen dürfte es etwas eng werden. Vorteile sind die ruhige Gegend, der schöne Blick auf die Bucht von Pachoa Ammos und der ursprüngliche Charme der Villa. Küche und Wohnräume sind im Wesentlichen gut ausgestattet und eingerichtet. Die Betten und Matrazen im Erdgeschoss müssten erneuert werden. Die Dusche ist sehr klein. Es fehlt eine Spülmaschine.

the house is spacious and beautifully decorated. It is located in a very pretty mountain village and has a terrace with a view of the whole valley and the sea. Next to the house, a tavern and a typical bar. an excellent place to visit eastern Crete which has remained protected from mass tourism. We had a dream vacation there.
