INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA

Villa Nikolaos is located in the picturesque village of Archea Eleftherna (Ancient Eleftherna), in Rethymno Prefecture. For those who love the quietness, strolling, the nature and the genuine Cretan landscape, this villa is an exceptional choice.

The village is located on a high hill, surrounded by the main archaeological site of the prefecture which with the newly built museum of Ancient Eleftherna are worth a visit for discovering and feeling the ancient history of the area.

Access by car is easy to most parts of the island, for example Chania, Heraklion, Sfakia, Anogeia, Nida, Knossos, Faistos and the southern coast beaches, that are many and beautiful. The road network is excellent and passes through some of the most beautiful and still attached landscapes in Crete. Particularly we recommend the visit in the southern coasts, via the very green province of Amari via Arkadi, Thronos, Meronas, Gerakari, and Spili etc.

Ruhe, Landschaft, gute Luft
Wir waren einen Teil unserer Ferien nach dem Hotel an der Küste fernab vom Strandtrubel noch in diesem sehr schönen Haus in den "Bergen". Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, in einem großen Terrassengrundstück gelegen mit einem tollen Blick in ein kleines Tal. Mehrere Sitzecken je nach Sonnenstand. Pool klein aber perfekt. Der Ort bietet unter anderem ausgewiesene Wanderstrecken zu den Ausgrabungsstätten und historischen Überresten (Alter Turm, Zisternen,...), so daß man problemlos vom Haus aus loswandern kann. Die kleine Taverne am Ort bietet gute und einfache Küche bei extrem freundlichem Personal. Neben der Taverne erfreut einen dann das abendliche kretische Dorfleben. Unsere Furcht vor dem nächtlichen Bellen der Nachbarshunde (in einer früheren Bewertung berichtet) war zum Glück unbegründet. Wir haben nachts in der Richtung nichts vernommen, sondern vielmehr die Ruhe genossen. Die Nachbarskatzen besuchen einen gerne und häufig, lärmen ja aber nicht. Die Vermieter waren ausnehmend freundlich, es gab eine Zwischenreinigung unter der Woche. Die Vermietungsagentur hat allerdings im Vorhinein in meinen Augen unnötig viele Mails versendet, die zum Teil zu beantworten waren. Fazit: ein perfektes Ferienhaus. Wir sind gerne bei Gelegenheit zu einem zweiten Besuch bereit.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt
Wir (2 Erwachsene, 1 Kind) waren im August für 12 Tage in diesem Haus. Das Haus ist am Rand einer Schlucht, ca. 20 Minuten von der Küstenlinie entfernt, im Hinterland gelegen. Es hat uns dort sehr gut gefallen. Das Grundstück ist groß, schön angelegt und bietet verschiedene Sitzecken, die wir, je nach Sonnenstand, auch alle genutzt haben. Insbesondere der alte Baumbestand ist wirklich schön in das Anwesen integriert. Die veröffentlichten Bilder geben die Gegebenheiten realistisch wieder. Das Haus bietet alles, was man für einen Aufenthalt braucht und hatte für uns eine perfekte Größe. Der Pool im hinteren Teil des länglichen Grundstücks war wirklich traumhaft; jederzeit glasklar, mit abfallender Tiefe, ausreichender Größe und vor Allem mit einem herrlichen Blick in die angrenzende Schlucht. Die Lage bietet auch einen guten Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge zu einigen Sehenswürdigkeiten bzw. zu schönen Stränden. Die Vermieter und auch die Mitarbeiter der Agentur Etouri waren sehr freundlich, jederzeit zu erreichen und standen bei Fragen zur Verfügung. Auch zu loben ist die kleine Taverne, ca. 100 Meter entfernt, in der wir mehrfach gegessen haben. Alles in Allem war es ein rundum gelungener Urlaub.

Fantastische Location mit tollem Ausblick!
Wir haben uns in der Villa in Elefthera sehr wohlgefühlt. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und der Ort ein Traum für alle die es etwas ruhiger mögen. Der Blick vom Pool ist wunderschön und alles an der Villa und dem damit verbundenen Service ist empfehlenswert! Gerne wieder! Familie Ketzel
