Villa DORE, magnificent view of the sea and mirabello bay
Villa DORE is 10 minutes walk from the center of Elounda and the beach. It is leaning against a hill. All bedrooms, terraces, and living room have views of the sea and the private pool. Cretan stone walls are lined with trees and flowers. The sunrise is an enchanting sight. The environment is peaceful and quality. The right wing of the house is reserved for you and you benefit from all the private enjoyment of the terraces, garden furniture, barbecue, swimming pool, parasol, deckchairs, and shaded patio where you can take your meals. We are at your disposal for any further information. You will be delighted with your stay in this villa, ideally located, as we are when we come there.
My extended family recently stayed at this Villa, and it was simply perfect. The views are spectacular, the place was super clean and within walking distance to several eateries, the beach, and shopping. Hope to stay here again!
Sehr schöner Ort mit Blick auf das Meer, toller und tiefer Pool (rd. 2,5m), sehr gepflegter AuĂenbereich mit vielen Ecken zum verweilen, Top fanden wir auch den kleinen KĂŒhlschrank NĂ€he des Pools und die AuĂendusche (mit WW) mit WC am Pool. Man mietet die rechte Seite des Anwesens, die linke Seite hat der EigentĂŒmer zur Eigennutzung. Der EigentĂŒmer ist bei Vermietung jedoch nicht da, so dass man alles so nutzen kann wie man möchte. Der Kontakt zum EigentĂŒmer und zum Housekeeper war supper nett und hilfsbereit. Lieben Dank nochmal an Dimitry!Wir können die Villa nur wĂ€rmstens empfehlen!
We were 3 couples on a sampler trip through parts of Europe. This house was a highlight of our trip. We loved the view, the pool, the friendliness and responsiveness of the host, the usefulness of everything in the house. We had a couple of small issues but when we told the host, they were going to get them taken care of. It was hard to leave when our time came.
Over the years we have stayed in many Villas - but this one tops the lot.
The check-in process from Dimitri was easy - I love the private auto gates and the windy drive up to the property. The 3 bedrooms are a nice size - the two on the first floor have balconies.
The pool is lovely - really deep at one end which is great - but the view from the pool is amazing.
The owners and Demitri were very helpful - I honestly canât recommend highly enough. We will back.
Eine wunderschöne Villa, ruhig, nahe am Meer, mit Pool zum Alleingebrauch
Eine ganz schöne Villa, ruhig, dennoch in Gehdistanz entfernt vom Meer und vom ansprechenden Ferienort Elounda. Wunderbarer Ausblick und Pool. Es hat nichts gefehlt.
Beim Ankommen hatten wir eine kleine Unsicherheit: Es geht um eine Doppelvilla, von der an uns eine HĂ€lfte vermietet wurde (die rechte, vom Meer gesehen), und wir waren nicht sicher, ob die andere HĂ€lfte ebenfalls belegt sein wird (dann hĂ€tten wir den Pool teilen mĂŒssen). Allerdings haben wir von Rose, die uns begrĂŒsst hat, erfahren, dass die Besitzer immer nur eine HĂ€lfte vermieten, die andere HĂ€lfte haben sie zum eigenen Gebrauch. So hatten wir eine komplette Ruhe und den Pool nur fĂŒr uns alleine.
We had the most fantastic family holiday here we were 5 adults and stayed 3 weeks here . We did not want to leave and is by far the best villa we have ever rented .
The pool area and whole outside area was delightful and extremely spacious . Everything is bigger than the photos . All bedrooms are lovely with sea views and very comfortable . Kitchen is very well equipped and straight out onto outdoor area .
Rose who looks after the house was amazing and a wealth of information
Nothing is too much trouble if you need anything .she strives to make your stay comfortable
Luke who looks after the pool is very friendly and really cares about your experience at the pool which is so well maintained
Nathalie the owner is lovely and always on hand .
We had a rental car but rarely used it as the tavernas and beach were so close walking about 15 minutes to the square and about 8 minutes to the beach
The view from the infinity pool is outstanding and from the whole house . It is breathtaking
Bathrooms are all modern and the outside shower was wonderful . We all took our evening showers outside as it was an amazing experience
We will really miss this place and will definately return in the future
We had a fabulous two weeks staying at Villa Dore, the views are just amazing and you can never get bored of looking at them. The town of Elounda has most things you would need during your stay and lots of lovely restaurants. The pool and outside space was fantastic being a family consisting of us and 2 adult daughters and their boyfriends it meant we all had lots of space not to be on top of each other. We all agreed even after 2 wks we could have easily stayed longer. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely villa. Paul & Ally x
Location and view from Villa Dore were great and we had a super stay, despite sweltering heat. I think it worth mentioning in notes sent prior to arrival that the roads up are very very steep and our hire car couldnt make it on the recommended route to villa. Luckily we found different route in and Rose then told us another easier route in and out of Elounda. We are a fit family, but contrary to other reviews ,it was a much longer walk into town than 20 minutes and we had to drive.
Also, the photos are fairly deceptive - it felt alot more compact inside with the only living space being the kitchen which was alot smaller than the photos and we only had the annexe of the house, though the owner is never present when the villa is let. The kitchen was not that well supplied and 2 rings with no oven just a microwave meant cooking was not ideal for a family of 4. Also, other villas usually leave at least salt, bit of cooking oil, foil , dishclothes etc but the cupboards were bare. We had a really relaxing stay and the pool, terrace and view were wonderful.
The house is very clean and nice. It has great views.The exterior of the house was the highlight with the infinity pool, pool chairs, dining table and outdoor shower bathroom.Even though the house is on the mountain, the location is good for easy access to supermarket, restaurants and beach. Would definitely recommend this house. We loved our stay.
What an amazing place to stay and have your family reunion at. The entire family (combo US and CZ) felt like we hit a Jackpot in Crete. So relaxing, quiet, clean and beautiful place with gorgeous views. Definitely would come back or recommend to anyone who enjoys privacy and relaxation.
The property was exemplary!
Almost didn't want to venture out because the villa was so nice to be at! My family were so delighted with the view of the harbour from the poolside!
The location is excellent and in comfortable walking distance of Elounda with all of its restaurants and shops. The view from the villa is stunning and the outdoor facilities of the villa are good. The pool is very nice and relatively deep. It was also very well maintained. The inside of the villa was a bit of a disappointment as the living area is inadequate for 6 adults and the bathroom arrangements should have been better described. However, as the weather was so good, much of the time was spent outside but I would not recommend this villa for the shoulders of the season.
Tolle Insel, schönes Haus und einfach ein erholsamer Urlaub
Wir sind super glĂŒcklich mit der Villa gewesen, haben einen wunderschönen Urlaub in Elounda verbracht. Die Zimmeraufteilung war fĂŒr uns vier Paare nicht perfekt, aber das wusste wir vorher und haben uns dennoch fĂŒr diese Unterkunft entschieden. Der AuĂenbereich mit Pool und sitzecke fĂŒr alle GĂ€ste hat uns am meisten begeistert.
Villa Dore is an impressive villa with wonderful views. Nathalie was an excellent host and the problems with the pool we had on arrival were swiftly rectified. The villa is spacious and clean and has everything you could possibly need. The villa is about a 20 minute walk from Elounda, which is a pleasant walk. The villa is on a very steep hill so I would recommend a hire car, but the views across the bay are amazing. We enjoyed our stay.
The house had a magical view from the pool and outdoor areas. The drive to get to the property was quiet tricky but we got better at it as the days went on. The house had a lot of deferred maintenance and even some moldly utensils in the kitchen. However, I think we were the first rental of the season.
Really good villa, well equided in good condition. New bath-rooms, nice pool, good panorama view on Elounida, near mountains and sea. Good check-in and check-out proceedure. WLAN ok but limited to kitchen area. Driving and finding the villa is even with description a bit of an adventure. TV is without connection to Central European stations and is receiving mainly TV stations from Middle East/Africa what was of little use to us. Still a good place to stay for a couple of nights.
Great property and holiday. The town is down the hill with restaurants near by not in Elounda and some of the best. The one problem we had with the aircon was addressed quickly. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the strange feeling being very conscious of turning off the aircon when leaving for day. In fairness the house kept cool with them off, but far too many notices did distract from just enjoying the facilties paid for. Great property.
We have just returned from a weeks stay in Villa Dore. We were 6 adults and I can say it was one of the best villas we have stayed in. The villa was spotlessly clean and well equipped with every thing that we needed including towels to use around the pool. The views from the villa were fabulous and it only took a 15 minute stroll into Elounda each evening. coming back was a bit longer as it is uphill which didn't bother us. Nathalie the owner was excellent. She answered all our enquiries quickly and was easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Villa Dore to others.
