Room was a bit more basic than I expected, especially the bathroom. Nice roof terrace with bar. In a good location for amenities.

This was our Second Stay at Villa Elite and we would love to recommend this establishment to further Travellers that are seeking a lovely time in Herssonisos. The staff is super friendly and attended to our needs. The rooftop Terrasse Bar is Top along with its beautiful Coastline View from the Hillside. It is located in Koutouloufari which offers an Unlimited array of fantastic Greek Cuise as well as other nationalities that should not be missed out on. The pool is a good size and depth and is a great place to relax at before and after hitting the beach. Koutouloufari is our prefered location to stay as it is a smaller town yet very culturally aged and no longer than a 10 to 15 minute walk to the beaches of Herssonisos where the NightLife is popping and the crystal clear waters are a great place to cool of during the hot days. Basic Diving in Herssonisos is especially interesting since it offers a lot of different sealife and treasures that swim through the underwater world of rocks. The Villas location has Supermarkets within a 3 minute walk. The rooms are spacious and clean and the Balconies and Patios are a great place to find peace and relaxation. We look forward to our next visit!!!!

The photos are deceiving, our room looked nothing like the photos. Also the pool never gets sun so couldn’t lay by the pool like we were hoping. Staff were wonderful, village was beautiful with great restaurants, and made the best of our stay.

This is our 4th visit to Villa Elite we love it!! The staff and owners are without exception lovely and helpful, any problems are dealt with promptly - we had a slightly blocked sink within 5 minutes of reporting it was dealt with. Recommendations for food and updates on where’s opened or changed are freely given. The rooftop bar with shallow pool is a huge bonus as is the swimming pool on the ground level and we always ended the day at the 33 Steps Bar. The location in the heart of the village with everything you need within 50 level yards is fantastic. It’s a 10 minute downhill walk to Hersonissus ( but always an 8 euro taxi back!!) Hoping to get back in September!

Great location and great host
It was a very good stay for a group of lads. Plenty to do in the local area. Can get gyros for tea every night and then go clubbing. The manager and owner of the hotel were really friendly and the cleaner was very good considering the type of holiday we were on. Would definitely stay again.

Good price, nice host and great location.
We had a great stay at Villa Elite. The apartment is placed on the edge of traditional village which was surprisingly lifely. It has a swimming pool, bar, nice hosts and quite spacy appartments. Its hosts Menolis was very polite and ready to help. He helped us find another accomodation on south of Crete which was also great. The place itself is very good for its price.

Dear Marc At first we want to thank you about your review. We must admit that there were some organisational issues at the period you visited our hotel, such as a problem with bank's credit card application. Our hotel was always accepting credit cards!! Also room service does not provided from our hotel. Nevertheless, as you didn't mention it, we hope that you have found our room cosy and comfort. We are feeling obligated to all of our customers, by resolving any issues during their stay in Villa Elite. Best Regards General Manager

Wir sind leider nach einer Nacht abgereist. Sehr nettes Personal, schöne Dachterssse, aber fürchterliches Zimmer und keine gute Parksituation... Fairer weise muss man sagen, dass uns ein Appartement abseits des Hotels angeboten wurde, das war uns aber zu einsam. Pool war leider dreckig... Zimmer sauber aber wie gesagt in keinem guten Zustand. Wir haben allerdings in Abreisezimmer reingeschaut die waren schön. Hatten anscheinend Pech, dass wir das letzte verfügbare Zimmer bekommen haben.

Great holiday in a lovely hotel
Our Stay in Villa Elite was amazing! A small, very cosy Hotel in Koutouloufari next to a lot of very nice restaurants. Really familiar atmosphere, a beautiful sea view and a stunning sight from the lovely rooftop terrace. Special thanks also to Vaggelis, the bartender, who made our stay even more enjoyable. We'll miss the time in the evening at the bar before going out but not the Raki :-)

Sehr nett geführte Familienappartments
Wir sind soeben zurück von der Villa Elite. Die Anlage liegt in Koutouloufari, einem Vorort von Hersonnissos. Sie ist auf einer Anhöhe zum Hafen und ist sowohl fussläufig (ca.15 min) als auch fahrzeugtechnisch gut erreichbar. Die Anlage und Räume werden täglich gesäubert, ein Lob an den Roomservice und die restliche Crew. Die Anlage hat einen sauberen Süßwasser-Pool mit Bar, an welchem morgentlich das Frühstück ausgerichtet wird. Das Haus bietet verschiedene Frühstück-Menüs an. Auf der Terrasse (sehr schöner Ausblick sowohl auf die Berge als auch auf das Meer) wird einmal wöchentlich ein leckerers Barbecue mit inspirierenden Cocktails und unbezahlbarem Gefühl bei Sonnenuntergang ausgerichtet. Auffällig freundlich ist der familiäre Flair des Hauses, welches sicherlich aufgrund des (gast)freundlichen Wesens der Inhaberfamilie bestimmt wird. Auf Nachfrage haben wir tolle Tips für Unternehmungen (Taverne, schöne Strände etc.) erhalten. Wenn wieder Kreta, dann hier :-) !

Apartamentos tranquilos
Los apartamentos son normales. Está en un pueblo tranquilo. Lo mejor es el trato con el personal. Tuvimos un par de problemillas (nada grave, a/a y un problema de electricidad) y el personal fue atento y resolutivo. Nos ofrecieron un cambio de apartamento si lo deseábamos.

Difícil de encontrar
Fue difícil encontrarlo porque no tenia ningún cartel que pusiera su nombre y la dirección no estaba completa. Porque nos ponía que estaba en Hersonisos y se encontraba en Koutolofari, pero por lo demás muy bien y la gente muy amable para indicarnos.

Gracias por tu review. La próxima vez que nos visite, será más fácil de encontrar con nosotros y creemos tener aprender un poco español. Fue un placer que le conocimos.
