    Great week away in a beautiful villa for 16 people
    Stunning villa and photos don't do it justice in terms of scale & size. Everything is perfectly thought through for large groups and families. Owner was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I would recommend either a hire car or a good relationship with a transport company to get around as places of interest are a little further out. There is though a supermarket, bakeries and a great grill restaurant within walking distance. One other observation is that the pool surface is in places quite rough and therefore we had a couple of cuts amongst the group when playing water games etc but overall the whole group of 16 had a wonderful holiday at Villa Elaida. Thank you!!!

    Beautiful Villa with everything you need
    We stayed 14 people for one week in the villa, from the age of 10 to 68. We had a wonderful time and the Villa is beautifully renovated with plenty of room and activities for all ages to enjoy themselves. WE specifically liked the outdoor area with the big pool and a lot of room to cook and eat family dinner. We also tried the pizza oven which was a huge success. Overall this is an exceptional villa which is very well equipped with lot of space and room for everybody. Thank you so much for a lovely week and we will defiantly return someday.

    I cannot recommend this villa enough, exactly like the photos and so perfect in every way! We throughly enjoyed ourselves and couldn’t have asked for more! All requests answered in good time and were very kind. The Villa is in a secluded location, however the taxi company recommended by the owners was amazing and a great help throughout our holiday. My only advice would be that the pool table needs replacing as it’s not in great condition, however this was a great addition to the Villa and did not effect us at all. Thank you to you all for looking after us and we hope to return to Elaida or one of your other properties soon!

    Incredible Vacation Getaway
    Elaida Villa surpassed our expectations in so many ways! We were two families, total of 16 adults, staying for 7 nights, and we had the best time. The villa had everything we needed, was beautiful inside and out, the beds were comfortable, and we had so many fun activities to do. The property manager was accessible for any questions we had. Highly recommend this villa for a large group stay :)

    An incredible villa with incredible hosts
    We recently stayed with 3 other families - there were 19 of us - 8 adults and 11 kids... The villa was perfect! Spacious, clean, amazing facilities for all ages and a beautiful pool. I cannot recommend this villa more highly and the hosts were great to... very helpful and kind. You will need hire cars to get to beaches etc. also to super markets. We had an amazing week - thanks for everything...

    Great Villa for our family get together
    The Villa is ideal for large groups of people who want to stay together yet still have their own space. With four bedrooms upstairs and four downstairs we were able to accommodate the young children in our group downstairs which from a safety point of view was great. The villa has recently been refurbished which is good but some of the workmanship leaves a little bit to be desired. Walking distance to supermarkets and shops but very steep hill on the return journey. No beach or nightlife close by (if that’s what you want) so it’s taxis or rent a large minibus. The taxi company we used (part of the same family I think) were very good and ran us around everywhere. The hosts were very welcoming and more than happy to help.

    Stunning Villa
    Booked this villa for a long awaited family holiday of 12 adults and 4 children. The villa was amazing, very modern and spacious and spotlessly clean. There was a lovely welcome basket on our arrival and a warm greeting from the owners. We spent most of the day around the pool and using the many leisure facilities available. The loveliest villa we have ever stayed in and everyone enjoyed a fabulous holiday.
