Guests can take in the ambience of the surroundings from an outdoor dining area or keep themselves warm by the fireplace on colder days. The property offers garden views.

Our flight got cancelled and we booked this apartment at midnight, the host could not have been more helpful to ensure we could access the property and making a difficult situation less problematic. The apartment is lovely, 3 bed rooms, 2 bathrooms lots of towels and entire apartment very clean. Lots of utensils, although we didn't cook. Lovely balcony on both bedrooms and nice out door sitting area, subset and views are quite spectacular. We would highly recommend this apartment, but suggest a car is required. Many thanks to a wonderful host, you made a very difficult situation a very enjoyable experience and we are extremely thankful of your hospitality and kindness.

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Elia Paradise Villa with Pool is set in Heraklio Town. This villa has a private pool, a garden, barbecue facilities, free WiFi and free private parking. The property is soundproof and is situated 10 km from Cretaquarium Thalassocosmos.

Where to start, Mr Kostas, the most welcoming, caring and simply AMAZING host we’ve ever experienced, and that’s without even ever having met him!! From leaving us gifts at the door when we’re away to waiting for us to go out for dinner so he can clean the pool and tidy the garden, a level of service dreams couldn’t make up. I have made detailed pictures of the most stunning garden and lower level completely private pool side as it is EXACTLY what I’d want my dream house to look like! As a Muslim family privacy is very important and privacy is exactly what you are getting on the lower level pool side, very cleverly designed! Surrounded by beautiful trees, birds and cats you will find the peace you’re looking for. The house itself, just as stunningly designed as the inside, comfortable bedroom, nice long couch, all the amenities you could want in the kitchen which is well stocked too! The bathroom is very roomy, the shower (for the first time ever encountered) has too much pressure when fully opened!? So you have the luxury to only use part of the water pressure rather than wishing for more. We didn’t end up using the airconditioning as stays nice and cool throughout the day, and the addition of a washing machine is very useful too. THANK YOU for one of our most memorable holidays!!

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    Everything almost brand new and great design. Rooms also very clean. We also liked the location, it’s on the first level on the shopping mile. Fresh water bottles were supplied and replaced too. Spacious rooms with enough storage space. We loved the bathroom supplies by Rituals. If you need parking, I would recommend the port parking for 3€/all day parking - it’s approx. 10 minutes walking distance.

    Everything was perfect. Good location, nice staff, beautiful interior, very clean. There is church nearby, but it doesn’t disturb at all (especially with closed windows). I think I slept even better than at home. Bed was very comfortable. If someday I will return to Heraklion then I will definitely stay in this hotel.
