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.
