kitchen

The place is set on the hillside overlooking the valley - delightful. Our villa was large and well-equipped. Our kitchen was separate on the terrace, which is good if you are using the lounge as a bedroom. It means both sets of people can access it without disturbing each other. Our area was very private. There are plenty of flowers on site and the pool is lovely - larger than I expected. Jenny, the owner, is such a nice person an couldn’t be more helpful. With this kind of location you do have steps everywhere, as you might imagine. it’s about a 10 minute walk into the village - there is a taverna, which is fine - and a mini market, which is a bit lacking. Stock up before getting here. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Delightful place

Very beautiful stone house in most amazing area. Owners most generous, kind and helpfull.Beautiful beaches in close reach and best departure spot for various daytrips. House very clean and fully equipped.Dream holydays,thank you very much Jenny and Jorges, we can totally recommend you and sure want to come back

First class

Our stay at Velanos Villas was extraordinary.  Jenny and her husband were wonderful hosts and very accommodating.  We had only planned to stay one night here, but after a great experience we worked it out with Jenny to stay a second night.

Nefeli was our villa.  We were happy to find it clean, well equipped and a lovely apple cake waiting for us as a bonus = ). If you're a nature lover, you will love it here.  We came here on our honeymoon, and would not hesitate to return in the future.  

The standout moment I will remember about this place is the romantic atmosphere as my wife and I gazed upon the star filled sky at night.  I was able to take some wonderful pictures of the night sky right off the balcony!!  (see attached photos...Milky Way galaxy over mountain range!  Jenny which mountain is this?  Would love to know!)

Altogether a wonderful experience!

Beach goers, star gazers, nature lovers this place is for you.

We spent 4 nights in villa Vito and would definitely go back.
We were welcomed by Jenny and her husband to their villas perched on the hillside with exceptional views. Jenny had made a delicious apple cake and a bottle of red wine as a welcome gift.
The views are breathtaking and night skies are exceptional.
The large swimming pool was very welcome after a long day out visiting.
Velanos villas are a short drive to the most stunning beaches on the island and Jenny has some other beaches on her list that are also worth a visit but you will need google maps !
There is an easy walk down to the local tavern and mini market.
I would recommend Velanos  villas !!

Great place to stay!

Its an amazing place that includes nature, tranquility, magnificent view. There are 4 stone houses that include a large swimming pool shared by all customers. Also, the area offers many sports activities such as mountain bike and jogging as there are decades of paths to cross. Owner is very hospitable and friendly willing to help with informations about this area.

Amazing view

It's our second visit in a row in this charmful place and surely there will be more. The beauty and quietness of the place is re-charging your energy for the whole year. Jenny is a great host, who is helping with tips and advices. The place is located beautifully in a hill above Kefali. It is just 15 mins. from Elafonisi beach.

Second year in a row

Beautiful traditional villas, just 15 minutes from Elafonisi beach. Jenny is a warm host, she even made us an apple pie. The house is fully equipped, the pool is wonderful and our kids (1.5 and 3.5 years old) had the best time. Hope we will come back soon.

Fantastic traditional villas 15 minutes from Elafonisi beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days staying at the rural idyll which is Velanos Villas. Perched on a hillside above the village of Kefali it was a wonderful haven of peace and quiet. We loved the setting, up a windy little road, but still very accessible to the village with its tavernas and mini-market, with walks in the hills and countryside possible direct from the villas. The swimming pool was a lovely addition, clean and well maintained (and much larger than many in cottages we’ve stayed in previously). The cottages vary in size and although ours, Villa Lito, was relatively small it had everything we needed and a nice little patio with outdoor furniture and lovely views. There were steep steps down to this and Villa Areto so book into the other villas, Nefali or Armonia if this would be a problem. Tzeni was such a welcoming host adding to our stay with homemade produce - and nothing was too much trouble if there were any concerns.  The property was cleaned with fresh linen and towels every 3 days. Elafonisi beach “after hours” (from 6.00 p.m. onwards when the coaches have all gone) was a highlight for us, as was a walk through the Topolia Gorge starting from Katsomothados – both only 20 minutes away. The nearest big supermarket was in Kissamos or Paleochora so shop on the way or come prepared if you want to cater for yourself a lot. All in all a lovely holiday

Lovely rural retreat

ours was really a very bad experience. We couldn’ t see the appartement because the owner  was not present when we open the door ( we met in the morning but the House was still occupied, we arrived early to leave luggages), we had to stay for a night unfortunately.
So do not be fooled by the nice view and by the pool, our home was shameful. Let’ s begin with the kitchen, if you can define it a kitchen, it is out of the apartement on a balcony, crumbling and very dirty, it’ s big as a closet. the house has a really sinister atmosphere, the furniture is old and heavy, the lights very low and cold, it looks like a grave. the only clean things were the sheets and towels. the house is very dirty !!! the entrance door is full of holes and there is a hallucinating smell of dust and urine everywhere. it is not true that the air conditioning is in the whole house, there is only in the living room, the bedroom is an "oven". So hot!!I do not watch TV, but it is right that customers know that there is not a flat-screen TV as described by the owner, but a tiny television hanging on the wall that you can not even see. but let's get to the most horrible part: the insects. in the evening I noticed black smoll worms ( you can see one of them in my pictures...notice That we paid 70 euro per night not 20!!!)on the floor and on the wall ... while I was in bed worms fell on the bed from the ceiling !!! Because the holes are also there, how disgusting. I live in the mountains in Italy and I assure you that I've never been in a similar place for this price. Rustic doesn’ t mean to be run down and full of bugs.
moreover the location is very uncomfortable, the owner says that it is only 15 minutes from elafonissi, but it takes 30 minutes and the road is not good for the most of the time. the village itself (which can not be reached on foot even though it is just below) is very sad, we went to the tavern advised by the owner for dinner, they told us they only had a goat-based dish, but the menu was very rich . obviously they did not want to cook as it was 8.30pm and maybe it was late for them. in short, in the morning we ran away !!! also please pay a lot of attention if you have small children or you are pregnant like me: the place is full of steep stone stairs, but not at all safe. nearby there is not even an infirmary, be careful !!! all this for 140 euros for 2 nights, a shameful theft. now we are near the beach in a nice, clean and comfortable place for half the price. I will never recommend this place to anybody!
