(10-2026) Hello Marieke & Martijn,

Villa Elysian is simply a dream. As soon as we stepped
inside the villa, we were blown away. But that feeling was surpassed yet again
once we stepped out into the grounds. That fantastic view of the mountains and
the sea is simply breathtaking. The villa offers all the peace and quiet you
need to relax, and if you fancy a spot of shopping, Plakias is just a few
minutes’ drive away. All in all, it’s the perfect package. We felt completely
at home and enjoyed the complete freedom. We can highly recommend the villa.
The beds are excellent and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need.

Here’s another lovely photo of the sunrise

We’d also like to say a big thank you to Sylvia, who takes
such good care of everything and does her best to fulfil every request.

Best wishes

Julie, Til, Kolja, Geli and Matthias

This place is magical. It really is the most beautiful villa + feels like home. Sylvia (property manager) is a dream and so helpful! Thank you to FranceVilla We can't wait to come back. Thank you so much!

(08-2026) Hey Marieke & Martijn,

Thanks for reaching out. The vacation in Mariou was awesome and we enjoyed every single minute of it.

The Villa Elysian is an outstanding house, with everything that is needed for a relaxing vaction, but the most impressive part is the view over the pool towards the sea.

We absolutely recommende the house to other guests, especially for larger groups.

There are some lovely beaches around, but the sunbeds are partilly quite expensive so we would recommend to take the available sun umbrella with you while heading to the beach to find a free spot and stay there.

There are also excellent restaurants down there in Plakias like Antoni's Taverna, which offer excellent food while having a lovely view to the see.

Thanks once again for all of your support

All the best

Kurt

Wow! What a view from the infinity pool. Top location, nice house with 2 studios which makes it feel very private. Spacious villa with plenty of seating/hangout spots around the house. Communication with Sylvia (manager) is really great. Good tips for tavernas nearby. The Plakias area is very beautiful and not yet overcrowded in terms of tourism.

The villa is beautifully situated with a sensational view of Damnoni Beach! It has everything you need, and an outdoor gas grill would be the perfect finishing touch! We felt very comfortable!

Lovely, neat home in a prime location with a beautiful view! All facilities are available; the pool can be heated (partially), and that was certainly necessary in late April. Hot water comes from solar boilers, so it takes some getting used to during bad weather. Fortunately, there is often sunshine. Two studios with a private entrance. The host is friendly, accessible, and helpful. Highly recommended!

The stay was excellent. A very beautiful villa, peaceful, clean, and tidy.

We won't hesitate to book France Villa next time.

(08-2025) Good morning,

We've indeed been back from a holiday in Crete for a few days now.

It's a beautiful location with plenty to do in the surrounding area. You do need a car, otherwise you won't get far. The house is fantastic. You can't stop enjoying the beautiful view. The house has everything you need for a wonderful holiday. Comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. We've rarely seen a house so well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. Plenty of basic groceries, games, air mattresses, etc. for the pool, a drawer with some tools, tape, etc. The house was clean and warmly decorated. Highly recommended.

Special thanks to Sylvia. She's there and easily accessible. She helps whenever needed. We had a problem after a power outage: the pool pump flooded and needed to be replaced. She took care of it and stayed with us continuously until it was resolved. A wonderful woman!

Kind regards, Yolanda

What a fantastic villa with a fantastic view! Super comfortable beds, very well-equipped villa. A BBQ was even brought when we told them we were missing one. Truly fantastic. It's especially nice that the villa is on one level with no stairs. However, you can't go anywhere without a car, as the access road to the villa goes down steeply.

Great time in the house. Spent a lot of time in Plakias, really nice town with great restaurants.
