Beautiful oasis
This villa sits just outside of the resort town of Elounda, which offers all of the restaurants and beauty of the town, as well as its own charming neighborhood and restaurant. The villa itself is beautiful and well maintained. Don't miss the delightful walking street in Mavrikiano, as well as the Hope Restaurant. Others have commented on the steep hill. There is, however, a shortcut to town down some stairs in Mavrikiano. We stayed just after the tourist season, in early November, which meant that a number of restaurants and activities were closed for the season. The tradeoff is that we were able to experience more of the local flavor, without the chaos of the high crowds. We were still able to visit all of the sights that interested us, and enjoy the serenity of the area and of the island. We will definitely return.

Perfect stay in Elounda!
A perfect villa, absolutely immaculate through out. It looks like new, and the pool was very clean. Loved the location, the views are simply fantastic, but that does mean a hill to walk up! The local tavernas and pub are great if you don’t want to walk into the village. Lots of taxis if you don’t fancy the walk back. We loved it, and would go again in a heartbeat.

Fabulous, everything we needed and more. Sharron could not have been more accommodating and the villa was lovely, clean and well equipped. The views were amazing, lots of choice for beaches, shopping and eating out and was easy to get about. Highly recommended.

Outstanding Stay
My husband and I wanted to show my best friend and her husband the beauty of Greece since they had never been. We were all amazed at how perfect the villa was-beautiful layout, amazing pool, and spectacular views from any point inside and outside the villa. Our 10-day stay couldn't have been more perfect. The convenient location enabled us to visit other towns and local attractions (I highly recommend the Cretan Olive Oil Farm) as well to enjoy quiet time at the villa. Sharron was wonderful and easy to reach. She called me personally to ensure we had all the check-in information, which impressed me greatly, and scheduled a meet-and-greet with Maria and Richard who maintain the villa. We felt so welcome. There is no hesitation on our part about returning to this jewel. Thank you Sharron, Maria, and Richard for making our trip perfect.

Stunning view
The property is ideally located close to everything, but a short walk up the hill which allows the most stunning view across the bay. Two local restaurants/ bars Hope & Beeraki are perfect just a 5 min walk away. Many choices of restaurants around the bay and a lovely beach with beds and shade. The pool was ideal to chill by on hot days and the villa is very well equipped with everything we needed. Sharron was great responding to queries really quickly, and it’s obvious they really care for the property as they use it themselves and that really makes the difference with lovely personal touches in the decor.

Wonderful Stay!!!!
Villa Bougainvillea is just the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. It was absolutely spotless when we arrived and is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday and more. It is located in a very quiet and peaceful location with the views towards the sea and Elounda just breathtaking. A fantastic pool with sun beds and umberellas. Table and chairs for outside eating and a lounge seating area to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. It was so lovely to receive a telephone call from Sharron prior to our arrival which my husband and I thought was a very personal touch and was very much appreciated along with an email with recommendations for restaurants etc. Sharron very kindly booked the Ferryman restaurant in Elounda that we wanted to go to celebrate our wedding anniversary during our stay. Thank you so much we had a wonderful evening and were made to feel very special! I cannot recommend Villa Bougainvillea enough along with Sharron and Adrian as hosts.
