ELIA village house .

Το Elia Village House είναι ένα παραδοσιακό κρητικό σπίτι, ένα τυπικό παράδειγμα τοπικής αρχιτεκτονικής του 18ου αιώνα. Είναι ο τύπος του κρητικού πέτρινου σπιτιού που ήταν ο πιο διαδεδομένος τύπος κατοικίας σε ολόκληρη την Κρήτη.
Η κύρια περιοχή του σπιτιού χωρίζεται από ένα τόξο, και στις πλευρές δημιουργεί τέσσερις χώρους που έχουν λειτουργική αυτονομία χωρίς να καταστρέφουν την ενότητα του χώρου. Σήμερα σε αυτούς τους χώρους, είναι η κουζίνα, η τραπεζαρία και το σαλόνι. Στο κεντρικό κτίριο του σπιτιού προστέθηκε ένα άλλο κτίριο, επικοινωνώντας εσωτερικά με δύο αψίδες. Αυτός ο χώρος χρησιμοποιείται ως αποθήκη για την αποθήκευση διαφόρων οικιακών σκευών και γλάστρες.
Σήμερα, υπάρχει η κύρια κρεβατοκάμαρα του σπιτιού, η τουαλέτα, όπου μπορείτε να δείτε ένα μέρος του βράχου, πάνω στο οποίο είναι χτισμένο το σπίτι και η σκάλα που οδηγεί στο ξύλινο πάτωμα υπνοδωμάτιο και στη βεράντα.
Από εδώ η θέα, τα χρώματα και η αίσθηση της φύσης είναι μοναδικά.
Το σπίτι του Elia Village House είναι ιδανικό για να χαλαρώσετε, να εξερευνήσετε και να γνωρίσετε καλύτερα την κρητική ύπαιθρο. Απόλαυσέ το.

Peaceful mountain getaway
Charming, tranquil cottage in a small mountain village. Lovely daytime views of the Aegean Sea to the north across the valley below, but our favorite view was at night, looking straight up at the stars and the clearly visible Milky Way. Excellent taverna just a few steps away, though unfortunately the café mentioned by others has closed. You will find the refrigerator extremely well-stocked. Three good air conditioning units to keep things cool on hot summer days. If you're a cat lover you're in luck, as there are many of them wandering around outside and quite a few are friendly. The shower area is a bit small, so if you are a large person you might have a tight squeeze, but aside from that it's hard to find any problems with this delightful place.

Hidden Gem
This property is the most AMAZING place I have ever stayed!! The house is the cutest place! There is a cafe that Sophie runs, and every breakfast was spectacular. Then there is a tavern just a few steps away from upstairs patio, the food and the view cannot be best! EIRINI was the best host I have ever had the pleasure to stay with! I would go back here 100 times!! Do yourself a favor and book Elia!! THE VERY BEST!!

Amazing home in a traditional village!
A short drive up from the highway brings you to the traditional village of Monastiraki, right beside the spectacular Gorge of Ha. It’s an amazing location and Eirini’s home is absolutely stunning. This beautifully restored stone house is comfortable and you’re immediately aware that you’re staying somewhere special. The roof deck provides a view all the way out to the sea and the interior has beautiful and unique artwork in every room. The kitchen was fully stocked and Eirini was always available to take our calls. She was so helpful in providing suggestions on places to visit. Definitely worth the short drive to Koutsounari Long Beach for a swim and a visit to Alatsi Taverna, which has the truly delicious food and is on the most beautiful beach on Crete.

A tiny bit of Heaven
Well, where should I start: It was exquisite - absolutely what we were looking for. We stayed in many places in many countries but this place was by far the most memorable. It is simple - but that is the charm. I even can't say it was the perfect imperfection - because there was no imperfection for us. The view of the roof terrace was to die for. The house very well and tastefully appointed. The fridge - as many others pointed out - stocked to the max. The Wifi was working very well too. We actually decided on the location because of the house. The village is very small (maybe 10 houses) and there are 2 Tavernas. I was told the best around and we tried both. Real Cretan food. It was all we wished for - authentic and delicious. It is a very quiet place with very friendly people. We LOVED it and would stay there again in a heart beat. Many thanks to Eirini! She is a wonderful host.

Best experience
Irene was the best host I’ve ever experienced! When arriving, she greeted us at the entrance of the village and showed us to where we would be staying. She had the refrigerator stocked with local foods and plenty of water. The told contact us any time if we needed anything, no matter the time. The village was small, as expected, but it was beautiful. The view from the balcony was breathtaking no matter the time of day. The local taven was a few steps away from the home and the food was 10/10. Overall I felt like we were at a home away from home. If I’m ever back in Crete, I will be staying here again!

Beautiful view
We absolutely loved everything about our stay- the village and its travernas, the house that had everything we would ever need, the outstanding views of the sea, we would come back anytime! We have a cousin that lives close and he is very familiar with the area too, which was an additional perk to our stay. Irena could not have been a better host. Thank you!

Herrlicher Urlaubsort
Gut restauriertes und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus, alles Nötige ist vorhanden. Idealer Ort, um aktiven Kreta-Urlaub zu machen: nicht weit weg zu einigen spektakulären Schluchten und herrlichen einsamen Stränden. Tolle Taverne 25m entfernt. Toller Blick in die weite Landschaft inklusive Meer, Abendsonne. Achtung: morgens erst ab 10:30 Sonne. Viele wilde Katzen, die einem das Essen auf der Terrasse streitig machen wollen.

Schöne Unterkunft in absolut ruhiger Gegend
Elia Village ist ein altes, schön hergerichtetes Steinhaus auf zwei Etagen in absolut ruhiger Gegend. Für zwei Erwachsene gut geeignet. Mit vier Erwachsenen dürfte es etwas eng werden. Vorteile sind die ruhige Gegend, der schöne Blick auf die Bucht von Pachoa Ammos und der ursprüngliche Charme der Villa. Küche und Wohnräume sind im Wesentlichen gut ausgestattet und eingerichtet. Die Betten und Matrazen im Erdgeschoss müssten erneuert werden. Die Dusche ist sehr klein. Es fehlt eine Spülmaschine.
