Welcome to Villa Elies – A Private Cretan Retreat with Stunning Views and Pool

Nestled among ancient olive groves in the peaceful village of Mesi, just 12 km from the charming town of Rethymno, Villa Elies is a hidden gem that offers the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, and traditional Cretan beauty. This spacious, well-designed villa is ideal for families, groups of friends, or two families traveling together. With breathtaking views of the sea, mountains, and countryside, Villa Elies is your ideal base for relaxation and adventure in Crete.

The Space
Villa Elies features 4 bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. Each bedroom has direct access to the outdoors, allowing you to fully enjoy the surrounding nature and fresh air. The sleeping arrangement includes:

3 bedrooms with standard double or queen-size beds

1 bedroom with a comfortable sofa bed

2 additional high-quality floor mattresses suitable for children up to 10–11 years old

The layout makes it ideal for two families traveling together, with shared common areas and private sleeping spaces. The house was thoughtfully built with wider doors in one bedroom and bathroom, offering easy access for guests with limited mobility.

Outdoor Living
The villa’s outdoor area is truly a highlight. A private swimming pool, shaded terrace, and large patio provide the perfect setting for swimming, dining al fresco, or lounging with a book. From the rooftop terrace, enjoy panoramic views of the sea, the olive-covered hills, and even Mt. Psiloritis, the tallest mountain in Crete. Sunsets and sunrises are simply unforgettable here.
