High atop a hill 7 perfectly situated villas awaited me & hubby, mother & 2 preteens for a week. Met by our lovely host Hippocrates with a tour, wine & fruit basket. The listing, pictures and descriptions are spot on. Tri level with sea views & AC everywhere . Bottom floor 2 bedrooms, washer & dryer, full bath and access to infinity pool, loungers, bbq & seating for six. Main floor, living room with sofa sectional, tv, phone, wifi and fully functional kitchen with all the bells & whistles along with outdoor terrace with seating for 6. Upstairs queen ensuite master with private terrace. Pool cleaned daily, and cleaning services provided every other day, with no intrusion and always a gift of some fresh fruit & veggies from their onsite garden. Elounda & beaches shirt car ride & car is needed to get around. Thank you to Hippo and the staff for our most relaxing and memorable bucket list trip.

Room tip: Villa Re and car needed to get around town.

We were 6 people; 2 couples and 2 singles, staying at this modern, clean and well equipped villa. It is one of 8 terraced villas perched on the hillside overlooking the town of Elounda and the hills and islands around the Mirabella Bay. Absolutely fantastic location for day tripping around this part of Crete and we explored all the local beaches. Villa on three floors worked very well for us. Grown up kids on the ground floor with direct access to the terrace, pool and BBQ area; kitchen, living room and patio/balcony overlooking the pool/terrace; parents in the 'Eagles Nest' double bedroom and private terrace on the top floor. Villa very well equipped and owners extremely helpful in getting us settled in and making us aware of what to see and where to go! We had a lovely family holiday here and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Just returned from a wonderful 2 week holiday staying at Solfez villas. The villa far exceeded our expectations - It was serviced and cleaned every couple of days and the pool was cleaned every day! The drive up the hill to the villa is a bit steep but it's worth it for the views over the fantastic Bay Area. Hippo and his team couldn't have done more for us, from leaving beautiful fresh vegetables from the garden, to guiding us to the best beaches. We would strongly recommend this place and look forward to returning!

The villa delivered everything it promised and we could not fault it in any way.
The location was perfect for us - just a five minute drive into town, but it was worth it for the view. It was really peaceful and we awoke to the wonderful sound of birdsong and the local goats which climbed the adjoining hillside every day - the gentle bleating and tinkling of their bells put a smile on our faces every morning. The first morning I was awake particularly early and sat on the balcony watching the beautiful sunrise - a perfect start to our holiday.
Hippo was great - on call 24/7 should we need him and visiting each day to clean the pool. He also provided us with a lot of helpful information regarding places to visit. The maid service (every other day) was also most welcome as were the fresh vegetable and fruit they brought from the villas' garden - delicious!
The pool was perfect as was the outside area and barbecue (the butchers in town sold the most amazing steaks) We did not find one restaurant in town that disappointed but can highly recommend The Ferryman, The Lotus Eaters, Porto Rino (wonderful pizzas) Olondi and Kanali for fish.
Agios Nikolaos is definitely worth visiting for the day - for lunch, shopping and ice cream! Voulisma beach, about 13km from Agios Nikolaos is lovely - golden sand and beach service (food and drink) from the beach bar. Spinalonga is also worth a visit - we took the boat from Plaka, but were very disappointed with Knossos and did not feel it was worth the journey - we would rather have spent our time in the villa pool!
We would love to return to Elounda one day and would definitely go back to Solfez Villas.

We had a great time in Elounda and in the main that was down to the stay in the Solfez villas. Hippo your host is very welcoming and knowledgable and can't do enough for you. The views make the place memorable. All you need is in the villa and it's clean. Perfect location too and don't be put off by the step hill to get to the villa - it's fine. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is the pool is just a little on the small side and the villa is on 3 floors which does mean a bit of exercise going up and down. Would heartily recommend.
