Reviews and Ratings
This hotel offers a serene escape with stunning views and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I cherished my time lounging by the pool and enjoying delicious meals with fresh, local ingredients. While the rooms were comfortable, I found them a bit dark and not as modern as I had hoped. However, the delightful experience and the care from Efi and her team truly made my stay memorable.
Our stay at Elia Guest House was nothing short of magical, set amidst beautiful olive trees with stunning views of the sea and mountains. The authentic ambiance and home-cooked meals made our experience special, and Efi and the team made us feel like part of the family. While I wished for earlier breakfast service, the overall ambiance and incredible dining options more than made up for it.
Staying at Elia Guest House was a highlight of our trip to Crete, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and sea. The serene atmosphere made it perfect for relaxation, and the food was a delight. While the room was comfortable, it did lack a view. However, the overall experience was memorable with excellent service and wonderful local dining options.
Elia Guest House offers an exceptional retreat with stunning views and authentic Cretan cuisine. The serene atmosphere is perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking. The staff, especially Efi, go above and beyond to make you feel at home. While the pool area is lovely, it can be a bit cold in late September. Overall, it's a fantastic stay at a great value for money, but the rooms, though comfortable, do have a slightly traditional feel.
I had a fantastic stay in a serene environment surrounded by stunning views of olive trees and mountains. The rooms felt authentic, and the dining experience was homey with delicious, locally-inspired meals. However, the pool was a bit chilly towards the end of my stay, which made it less enjoyable, and the bathrooms had a more traditional feel that might not suit everyone. Overall, it was a charming and relaxing getaway.
