Probably my favorite place I have stayed at with my travel adventures. Dimitris and his wife hosted us and we’re available for any needs. The view was completely stunning. The pool area was absolutely perfect. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during my visit to Crete. Will definitely stay again when we return!

Amazing Family Holiday
We stayed at Villa Bella Elena for a week. Pre-arrival communication was excellent and this continued throughout our stay if we needed to know anything. The Villa was perfect for us, a family of six adults and four children. The pools, outside kitchen and outside area all are very well maintained are clean and create a relaxing ambiance. Inside there was plenty of space for all, comfortable beds, clean and modern bathrooms, the kitchen area is very well equipped. Satellite TV when needed, mainly to calm the children down before bedtime! The Villa is in a fairly rural location and a car is needed. There are good views of the sea and a small island from the Villa. The Local town Kokkini Hani is a five to six minute drive from the Villa, which has a good supermarket, take 2 euros for a trolley! Plenty of bars and restaurants etc in Kokkini Hani, some trendy and some more traditional Crete style. All served very good food and drinks. Staff were constantly helpful and friendly. The beach at Gournes was sandy and there are cafes and restaurants along the sea front. The golf course is about 20 minutes from the Villa, was very well maintained and in good condition. The clubhouse was very welcoming too. We recommend Villa Bella Elena, you will not regret it!

The Villa is amazing and even better than the pictures suggest. It was perfect for two families due to the symmetry of the building. Everything is finished to a high standard and the kitchen is very well equipped. We were a party of 8 and so everyone had their own space and privacy, which was fantastic. The pool is a great size and together with the small pool perfect for children. Aurelia gave us a great welcome and then kept in touch with us for our stay to ensure we had everything we needed and also to suggest places we could visit. We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend the villa to anyone thinking of staying.

Beautiful villa with the WoW factor. Had a great family holiday here, if I could make one improvement it would be that the pool would be heated, we went in April and really was too cold to use :-( other than that we had a great quality time with the family. Thank you

WONDERFUL
Just retuned from a fabulous stay at Villa Bella Elena a stunning luxury property beautifully maintained both inside and out. Aurelia showed us round on arrival and kindly organised for a takeaway and beers to be delivered as we had arrived quite late, very attentive throughout our stay and nothing was to much trouble for her. The villa is located in a very peaceful rural area and has stunning views. The photos really are a true representation of what to expect. The beds really comfortable, bathrooms modern and kitchen extremely well equipped. The pool and infant pool were crystal clear and the standard of cleanliness was impressive. It’s a little too far to walk into town but only a five minute drive into the resort centre where there are a good selection of supermarkets and shops and some lovely beaches close by. We did eat in quite a few nights making good use of the outside barbecue, bar and dining area.This place is perfect if you are looking for a villa in a peaceful location and excellent for large families. We certainly hope to return in the future.

We have had a wonderful stay at this lovely villa. The villa was stunning and true to the pictures online and Very comfortable to stay in. Aurelia that greeted and checked us in and out was helpful and very friendly and the villa was spotless. A great holiday in a lovely villa. Would recommend that car rental would be needed as would be difficult to walk to most places. Thank you for a lovely stay Caroline Bacon-Sharratt

Spectacular Villa and pool, friendly and helpful staff, (car essential)
Wow what a stunning Villa! We arrived very late eve due to a flight delay but we're still met near the Villa and shown around. First and lasting impressions are fantastic, it's a stunning property, the pool, garden and bar/barbie area outside are really well kept and lovely. Inside the two lower bedrooms are massive and luxurious with doors leading straight out to the garden and pool. The next floor up is the living area and kitchen again these are fantastic with a covered outside area to sit as well. The upper floor bedrooms are smaller but well equiped. Its a quirky design almost as though it was two mirror image sides joined together, there are several small stairs to the various levels (without handrails) and there's plenty of space and various shower rooms and it's well equipped. The view out to sea is fantastic, it is located about 2 miles from the sea on a hill which appears to be an expanding residential area (currently with lots of empty plots). Because of this transport is a must to get shopping etc so car hire would be recommended although Taxis might be an alternative if you don't wish to drive! We had 7 in our family group and everyone loved it, the pool is lovely! The cleaning team called midweek to sort the Villa and pool and we're great, nothing was too much trouble. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a quiet relaxing holiday, it is a great base to explore and also has everything you need if you wish to just chill and stay at the Villa. Enjoy!

Superb
We were lucky enough to stay here for a week in August, it indeed was a luxury villa and the owners had thought of everything. The kitchen was full of local delights as well as herbs, spices and oils. The outside BBQ area was a hit and many an evening was spent with a glass of bubbly waiting for dinner to be cooked. The bedroom suites were great, very comfy beds and everyone enjoyed the jacuzzi baths! We were 2 families with 5 children, the villa and outside area was so big nobody was on top of each other. An added bonus was sky tv so we didn't miss out on the Olympic spirit! The photos really are a true picture of what to expect. Nikos, who showed us around, looked after us throughout the week nothing was too much to him. He even accompanied us on a trip to the local Drs which he arranged staying with us until he was sure everything was ok. A car is essential and the villa us only 5 mins drive from the beach with a selection of restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend a visit and hope to return in the future.
