"Pros: The property felt like home. It is very cozy and private, and super clean. The back yard is a lovely spot to relax in peace and quiet. The host was very lovely and made us home made treats, it was heartwarming and made us feel very welcome. We are thankful for the hospitality and kindness. Truly an extraordinary stay and the host is a wonderful person. It is the best place to stay." ~Michael

"Pros: This was an excellent property for a family holiday. In the foothills south of Chania, there is a gentle breeze for much of the day to offset the sun. Originally the family home, it is set in gardens with orange, lemon, fig and mango trees, with fresh fruit ripe for picking. The house sleeps 10 adults comfortably and the owners were very accommodating with a request for an additional baby cot. Air conditioning in the bedrooms and shutters to all the windows ensure a comfortable temperature. A first-floor balcony that surrounds the house gives an area of shade all through the day, with a large balcony to enjoy dinner and watch the sunset, and a separate BBQ area in the grounds. The hotel-standard swimming pool is very clean and is professionally maintained by the owners who live next door and are on hand to help with any questions. We found the owners to be a delightful family, welcoming and attentive whilst ensuring privacy. Quite simply, they made our holiday. Cons: Nothing" ~Kay

"Pros: The hosts, Sergios and his wife Irene, were very courteous and accommodating. Sergios met us upon our arrival and briefed us on the house, location of amenities, and the surrounding areas. He presented us with a couple of nice Greek food and cooking items to welcome us. The house is situated in a very quiet area, which is what we were looking for. We wanted to be close but not too close to the main city and this location was perfect. The garden area on the property was fantastic and full of a variety of plants, trees, etc. Sergios indicated we could pick some of the fruit, but our real enjoyment came from just looking at the garden every day. My wife and I have traveled to Crete once a year for over 30 years and we rate Eliva House as one of the best places we have stayed and will happily book again in the future. Cons: I can not think of a thing." ~Marvin

"Pros: The owner is very kind, responsive and welcoming. He arranged to meet us on the day we arrived and gave us some recommendations of places to visit. The property is exactly how is shown in the photos. It's not luxurious, but very cozy and we had everything we needed for several days. There's a supermarket nearby (5 minutes by car) and we could make a barbeque in the garden." ~Olga

"Pros: A Remarkable Experience in a Unique Gem Our recent stay at the brand new Kedria lounge and infinity sea view was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by the owners, setting the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable experience. A really warm welcome! What truly sets this property apart is its unique design and attention to detail. Every corner seemed to exude charm and sophistication, making it clear that this was no ordinary accommodation. The blend of modern amenities with thoughtful touches of local culture created an ambiance that was both inviting and inspiring. Our bedroom with en suite bathroom, was a sanctuary of comfort, boasting stylish furnishings and breathtaking panoramic sea view. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the plush bedding to the sleek bathroom amenities. However, what truly took our breath away was the mesmerizing view of Chania, combined with a private Jacuzzi on the terrace! Perched in a location that offers panoramic view of this charming city, every moment spent gazing out at the landscape felt like a scene from a postcard. Whether it was admiring the sunset hues painting the sky or watching the city come to life as night fell, the view from the property was simply unparalleled. A clue was that Chania town center is less than 10 minutes driving distance. We had to work on line so; the provided internet was extremely good for us! If you're looking for a truly memorable experience, I highly recommend booking a stay at this hidden gem. We can't wait to return and create more unforgettable memories. Cons: Everything was prefect!" ~Nassos
