In early October 2011 we stayed in one of these beautiful villas for a number of days. In 2014 and 2015 we returned for a another stay. We love the place, the views and the people that work here. The Elounda Solfez villas are brand new and they are situated on a hill. The view is truly spectacular. From any of your terraces or from your pool you look out over the Bay of Elounda and the Spinalonga peninsula. On a clear day you can also see several small islands in the distance and even the high cliffs of the peninsula all the way back behind Sitia in the extreme east of the island.

When you are driving towards Elounda from the direction of Agios Nikolaos you will at some point see the sign for the exit of the villas on the right hand side of the road (along with a few other signs). It says that the distance to the villas is 100 meters, but actually the distance is much longer. You take the road on the right hand side and drive all the way down to where you will see another sign. Here you turn right. You'll automatically see the next sign and now you turn righ again and drive to the villas over a steep road. The villas are situated on top of the hill. For each villa there is a parking space.

And then on the top of the hill Nikolas was waiting for us. Nikolas is the manager and he lives in one of the villas. He's such a nice guy and gave us a big welcome, showed us around the villa and came back the next day to have a coffee for us and explain a bit about the area we were in. In the fridge we found bottles of water, several fruitdrinks, grapes, peaches and a melon and there was coffee (yip, the real stuff, no nescafe), wine and 4 large candy bars with different kinds of nuts and honey. This is how you welcome a guest, ahah...super. And when we left he gave both of us a very nice small present. I am going to keep it a secret what it was, you find out for yourself ;).

first floor - here you enter the villa from the street level. Each villa has a spacious living room with an L-shaped sofa, satellite TV and DVD player and a kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, stove, oven, toaster, coffee machine and dishwasher, etc. In the front of the living room is a large terrace with a large dining table with chairs. There is also WIFI for internet enthusiast people. I never check the mail during my vacation so have not tried it myself.

ground - Through an internal staircase or a staircase leading from the terrace you can go downstairs, where the swimming pool with sun loungers and a second dining area is situated. The pool is private, and you are as good as not overlooked (we did our swimming without textiles). Here on the ground floor you find two bedrooms, one double and one twin (two beds). They share a bathroom with a bathtub and toilet. This floor also contains the washer and dryer. For people who like it there is also an ironing board and iron.

second floor. Via the internal staircase from the living room you can go to the second floor where you will find the master bedroom. This bedroom has a double bed and a separate bathroom with a shower and a toilet. Best of it is the terrace (with seats) that is attached to it, where you have the most beautiful view of the entire house.

Note: these villas are suitable for 6 people, but at lower cost, you can also rent a villa for 2 or 4 persons. You choose the bedroom(s) that you want and the others(s) are then locked.
