Great property in a nice quiet elevated position with lovely sea views. Very fast and effective resolution of a small plumbing issue by the local host, who was responsive and easy to communicate with. The villa was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It’s about 800m from the main village of Elounda, with a fairly steep hill on the return—something to bear in mind—but it adds to the peaceful setting and views. Would happily recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bouganvilliea! The property is spacious, beautifully maintained, and feels even better than the pictures. The private pool was the highlight of our trip — crystal clear, well-kept, and perfect for both relaxing afternoons and evening swims.The villa itself was spotless, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor area offered plenty of space for lounging, dining, and enjoying the sunshine in complete privacy. The views from the terrace looking over the sea are amazing. Location-wise, it was ideal (although up a steep hill which can be challenging!) — peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to local shops, restaurants, and attractions. The hosts were warm, attentive, and always available for any questions, which made our experience even smoother.We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would highly recommend Bouganvilliea to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday with the luxury of a private pool. We’re already looking forward to coming back!Bouganvilliea hints n tips- Several small supermarkets in town. Prices all much the same. Euro Mart will deliver if you spend 10. You select & pay for what you want at the store, they keep it until you are back at the villa then just WhatsApp them to get it delivered.- Nearby tavernas BeeRaki, The Hope, Despina & Palio Kantouni all pretty good - In town we liked Vritomartes, Olondi, Poulis, Rakomelo and Ergopasio restaurants.

Our stay was phenomenal. The property is exactly as described. It was incredibly relaxing. We enjoyed all the comfortable seating, access to a pool at the end of a hot walk up the hill and it was easy access to town but far enough to feel like you’re still away. It was so relaxing that when we headed next to Santorini, we felt the jolt. We used the kitchen for two meals a day and it was well appointed for our needs. This is a wonderful place to stay with great communication with hosts! I’d move in if I could!

Although the drive up to the top where the villa is located is a little daunting at first once you've done it a few times you get used to it. The villa is beautiful on the outside and once you open the shutters for the first time you are greated with stunning views of Elounda and the bay.We would love to come back again in the future.
