Surrey Family (the eldest child is at school)
- Lovely holiday in Elounda last week. Beautiful villa, clean and quiet and part of nice hotel infrastructure. Staff extremely helpful especially with my daughter’s coeliac disease and need therefore for gluten free food. Kitchenette could have been a bit better (no oven facilities) but enough for basics. It was very useful to have washing machine.

- Amazing space, generous pool and lounging area, glamorous surrounds, cleaned by three invisible yet meticulous professionals. Fabulously attentive personal service from all staff including the Concierge service. Exceeded my expectations in every way, a perfect family holiday - can’t wait to go back.
