The property was very well kept and clean and had everything we needed. The view over Elounda and the bay is stunning. The centre of the village is only a 15 minute walk away, if that. Really good communication from the host and she was kind enough to book airport taxis for us. Hope to visit again. ##### Richard B.

It was quiet but walking distance to the town. There are three amazing restaurants about a five minute walk from the villa. The views are spectacular. I could have stayed another week. After 6 days in Elounda and this villa, I feel very calm and rested. ##### Hannah S.

The villa is beautiful on the outside and once you open the shutters for the first time you are greated with stunning views of Elounda and the bay.We would love to come back again in the future. ##### Ben C.

We loved the Villa and all the touches that made it feel luxurious and homely. What added to it was the excellent communication with Sharron who made our stay seamless. Quite an up hill walk from the centre but doable, even in the heat, and worth it with what must be one of the best views in Elounda! Would love to return ##### Fiona B.

The Villa is spotlessly clean and very comfortable and is equipped with everything you would need. Our biggest praise has to go to our host, Sharron who made the whole experience completely stress free and literally arranged everything we needed such as transfers, car hire and local recommendations etc… We couldn’t have expected any more from her and it was a real pleasure to meet up with Sharron’s mum at the Lena apartments at the end of our stay. We hope to definitely return one day and wouldn’t hesitate in staying at Sharron’s lovely villa again. ##### Julian H.

A perfect villa, absolutely immaculate through out. It looks like new, and the pool was very clean. Loved the location, the views are simply fantastic, but that does mean a hill to walk up! The local tavernas and pub are great if you don’t want to walk into the village. Lots of taxis if you don’t fancy the walk back. We loved it, and would go again in a heartbeat. ##### Matthew T. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise M. 9 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning view The property is ideally located close to everything, but a short walk up the hill which allows the most stunning view across the bay. Two local restaurants/ bars Hope & Beeraki are perfect just a 5 min walk away. Many choices of restaurants around the bay and a lovely beach with beds and shade. The pool was ideal to chill by on hot days and the villa is very well equipped with everything we needed. Sharron was great responding to queries really quickly, and it’s obvious they really care for the property as they use it themselves and that really makes the difference with lovely personal touches in the decor. ##### Denise M.

We were all amazed at how perfect the villa was-beautiful layout, amazing pool, and spectacular views from any point inside and outside the villa. Our 10-day stay couldn't have been more perfect. The convenient location enabled us to visit other towns and local attractions (I highly recommend the Cretan Olive Oil Farm) as well to enjoy quiet time at the villa. Sharron was wonderful and easy to reach. She called me personally to ensure we had all the check-in information, which impressed me greatly, and scheduled a meet-and-greet with Maria and Richard who maintain the villa. We felt so welcome. There is no hesitation on our part about returning to this jewel. Thank you Sharron, Maria, and Richard for making our trip perfect. ##### Jennifer A.

The villa itself is beautiful and well maintained. Don't miss the delightful walking street in Mavrikiano, as well as the Hope Restaurant. Others have commented on the steep hill. There is, however, a shortcut to town down some stairs in Mavrikiano. We stayed just after the tourist season, in early November, which meant that a number of restaurants and activities were closed for the season. The tradeoff is that we were able to experience more of the local flavor, without the chaos of the high crowds. We were still able to visit all of the sights that interested us, and enjoy the serenity of the area and of the island. We will definitely return. ##### Cynthia S.

Villa Bougainvillea is just the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. It was absolutely spotless when we arrived and is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday and more. It is located in a very quiet and peaceful location with the views towards the sea and Elounda just breathtaking. A fantastic pool with sun beds and umberellas. Table and chairs for outside eating and a lounge seating area to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. It was so lovely to receive a telephone call from Sharron prior to our arrival which my husband and I thought was a very personal touch and was very much appreciated along with an email with recommendations for restaurants etc. Sharron very kindly booked the Ferryman restaurant in Elounda that we wanted to go to celebrate our wedding anniversary during our stay. Thank you so much we had a wonderful evening and were made to feel very special! I cannot recommend Villa Bougainvillea enough along with Sharron and Adrian as hosts. ##### Glynis H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean M. 13 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Villa The villa is well equipped, has superb views, a pleasant pool and 2 good sized bedrooms, both effectively with their own bathroom (one en-suite and one with use of the main bathroom). The garden includes a handy barbecue area with all the basics including a kettle type barbecue which worked really well. There are 2 balconies, both accessed from the bedrooms, 2 nice patio/ seating areas with tables and chairs. Location wise the villa is about a 10 minute pleasant but steep walk from Elounda. The approach by car is also very steep and narrow with the locals’ inventive parking making it a bit of a roller coaster ride! There is room to park two cars but manoeuvring is tricky and anything bigger than a Ford Focus or similar would be verging on impossible to turn around. Overall though the parking is better than most in Elounda. For those not in the know, it is a good location from which to explore North Eastern Crete. 2 ‘must dos’ are Spinalonga with the ferry just 10 minutes walk and the lovely hill village of Kritsa with nearby gorge walk, Roman site and lovely church. This is just 20 minutes drive. All in all a lovely villa and a great location for an October holiday. ##### Jean M.

The villa is comfortable and extremely well equipped. Communication with the owner was excellent at all times and the property manager could not have been better. The villa and pool were clean and sparkling. Bed was very comfortable and the showers in the bathrooms were exceptional. Masses of storage so getting clothes etc packed away was quick and easy. Views over the sea are impressive. Good location within walking distance of the town but steep climb on returning, which wasn’t an issue for us although we are in our 70s. Would suggest a car rental to explore the local area. A boat trip to Spinalonga is a must but go early to avoid the crowds. ##### Shirley Dickinson Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David I. 16 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### October sun We had a lovely stay in this beautiful property. The vila had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. It was a real treat to wake each day to the fantastic views and have a pre-breakfast dip in the pool. A nice private location away from the town but walking distance to the many excellent tavernas in Elounda. Communication with the owners was great, and they kindly organised taxis to and from the airport for us ##### David I.

Leider gibt es keinerlei T.V.-Anschluss, wie in der Hausbeschreibung dargestellt. Netflix und YouTube funktionieren. Panajotu und seine Frau sind äußerst zuverlässig, kümmern sich um alles und sind immer erreichbar. Man wird sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit von ihnen aufgenommen. Eine Kommunikation mit den Besitzern (z.B. wegen Fernsehanschluss) ist nicht möglich, sie scheinen sich aus allem raushalten zu wollen. Außerdem gibt es im Erdgeschoss im Wohnzimmer und in der Küche keine Airkondition, was doch zum Teil zu sehr hohen Temperaturen in diesem Bereich führt. Alles in allem aber dennoch empfehlenswert. ##### Jens T.

Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nigel C. 5 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Almost out of season A very late in the year, short notice break. Where to go? Somewhere still warm, quiet, near the sea, close to food and drink and with great facilities. Crete, Elounta, Villa Bougainvillea: all boxes ticked. The house was spotlessly clean, well equipped and brilliantly located (10mins into town, 15 back) with The Hope taverna and Beeraki pub almost on our doorstep. Great kitchen and sitting room, massive bed and a superb pool, all topped off with a wonderful view. The whole booking process was straightforward, communication with the owners quick and clear and the result was a great experience. Most of the water-front tavernas were closing down at the end of October but that didn’t mean there was nowhere to go and it did mean that our business was much appreciated everywhere We were lucky with the weather (22-25C and mostly sunny) apart from one spectacular thunderstorm. The fantastic house meant that we felt very much at home all the time. Oh and did I mention we had a brilliant time? ##### Nigel C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim S. 8 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent villa in wonderful location Fantastic view of the bay of Elounda from a modern and clean villa with all you need, including sufficient poolside privacy. 10 minute walk down into the centre of Elounda, 2 minute walk to local taverna and restaurant with spectacular vista. Had no need to trouble the owners, but they maintained sufficient contact to ensure that we were OK. Crete is our favourite island. This is the best villa we have found. We have booked this villa for next year already.... ##### Tim S.

Perfect location with perhaps the best view in Elounda! The house had everything you could need and was immaculate. We all loved the pool and can’t wait to visit again! ##### Leo V. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan C. 25 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Villa with amazing views My family and I have just returned from a weeks stay in this gorgeous villa. The villa itself was spotlessly clean and had everything you could want for a comfortable stay. The pool was a good size and perfect for a swim after a long day out sightseeing. The location is amazing and pictures don't do the stunning sea views justice. The village Mavrikiano is very traditional and pretty, we loved The Hope restaurant just down the road and Elounda town is a short walk away where you can find a great choice of restaurants. We ate out every night and the food was always fantastic. We fell in love with Elounda and will definitely be returning to this wonderful villa! ##### Susan C.
