Villa Ellie provided us with a well equipped base for exploring Panermos again but most days we enjoyed the good weather relaxing and sunbathing by the pool. There is plenty of room to eat outside in shade or sun . Villa is spacious inside with well equipped kitchen, drying racks for wet towels, good clothes storage, fan and air-con if needed in the bedrooms. Two good sized modern bathrooms-not always a given in Greece. Plenty of books, games and DVDs if required. Would recommend a small car if hiring one as it makes navigating the narrow village roads and parking at the villa easier. Owner Carol is easy to deal with and very helpful.
We have done many, many villas abroad and they have never disappointed. Villa Ellie certainly did not disappoint either. It lies on the edge of a small village, Roumeli about a mile inland from Panormas. The area is beautiful and still very unspoiled by the massive tourism influx everywhere. This is still a lovely typically Green haven of calm and an absolute sanctuary for peace and quiet. There were two Kafenions and one taverna. We never made it to the taverna as it was quite a walk uphill and my husbands walking wasn't up to it but that's fine. We ate most nights in Panormas which is a beautiful village righ on the sea and very affordable. We spent most of our time at the villa as this was our first holiday we didn't want to be touring everywhere as previously. The pool was amazing, the villa was everything you need. Clean, comfortable and private. Air con was great for during the night and having two bathrooms was ideal especially with a 21 year old daughter who was happy to chill during her Uni break. We did a wee washing during the week and it was dry in no time meaning not having to take massive washings back home. The supermarket stocks everything you want. Brilliant selection of books in the villa and being at the pool all day we consumed them.lol. Coming back in at night and sitting at the pool was lovely and we didn't get many mosquito bites at all. I think if we had stayed another week we might not have come home, possibly taking up squatters rights ! Very much recommend this villa it has everything you could want. The pool is quite deep so I would say swimmers only but it has lovely wide steps you can sit on and take it all in. Fairy lights come on at night round the pool which is lovely. Another set down the stairway would be good as the stair light went out quite quickly but we used a torch. I would suggest you take the essentials like bread, milk, butter etc in with you on arrival to save you going back out and leaving this oasis of calm.

Thank you so much for your review. It is so good to hear what a lovely time you had and how much you enjoyed being in the villa. Hope to welcome you back again...maybe for two weeks next time.
Well, we all decided that our holiday to Crete was our best yet. Your villa was perfect for us. We had days out in Rethymno, Heraklion and Chania, along with visits to Melidoni (the Carob and Olive taverna was amazing, along with the cave - our visit to the olive oil factory was great - Joanna from Alabama was lovely - and the honey farm too), Margarites, Triopetra, Spilies beach etc. all combined to give us an unforgettable experience. In terms of Wi-Fi, Carole had let us know that she'd been unable to organise Internet prior to our stay. This wasn't an issue for us, we simply took an old mobile to act as a wi-fi hotspot, and bought a prepaid SIM card from a Germanos shop - 1 month unlimited data only for €12. All in all, a great place to stay and a fabulous island to visit.
