We stayed for two weeks in September 2022. Our ground floor "Villa Sage" was spacious, well equipped and comfortable, with its part shaded patio overlooking the pool and garden area, which has numerous other tables and chairs set out for the shared use of all 4 villa/apartments, even including some exercise equipment.

We especially enjoyed the lovely clean pool set in well kept gardens with quality sun loungers with parasols.

Elianthos is well positioned just a short walk from the centre of Vamos, with its kafenia, bars and tavernas. Our favourite being Kali Kardya where we are always treated like special guests. Vamos is a 10 minute drive to nearby beaches and a good location to explore western Crete further by car.

The family owners and staff at Elianthos could not be more welcoming and helpful at all times.

We strongly recommend Elianthos and we are already looking forward to a return visit next year.

Tranquillity

Elianthos Villas are ideal if you want somewhere away from the crowds and there are only four villas. It is suitable for couples and families. The pool is the best kept I have ever been in, surrounded by a lovely garden and a fig tree which was in fruit while we were there, which was most fortunate! Vamos is a quiet mountain village, well placed between the mountains and the sea and for getting around by car. There are a couple of fab bakeries and a choice of places to eat.  We loved Vamos and Elianthos, Nikos and his family were great hosts and the lovely Nikolina looked after us and our room too. I would definitely return.

Quiet, peaceful and relaxing.

We stayed here just two nights but we would have liked longer. A fabulous villa (Basil), well appointed and with a great view from the balcony. Lovely pool and gardens and very quiet location. Helpful and cheerful staff. A short stroll into the centre of Vamos. We would definitely book again. 

Beautiful location and accommodation 

We have just spent 4 days in room 1 at the Elianthos villas.  Room 1 is on 2 floors.  There is a balcony upstairs with excellent views of the pool,  the surrounding  countryside and mountains.  The accommodation is excellent.  Lots of space and clean. It's 5 minutes up a hill from Vamos village and square.  There are 3/4 tavernas in the village,  a couple of shops,  a chemist,  bakery and 2 mini supermarkets.  The village is only 6km from Kalyves and the beach. The beach is pretty,  but we were much happier eating and drinking in the villlage of Vamos. I've got to say the best part of our experience was meeting Nikos,  the owner of the villas.  One of the kindest,  welcoming owners of a place we have ever stayed at.  We had a couple of nights in the taverna in the village with him and he introduced us to his friends.  Wonderful man.  We definitely hope to return.

Wonderful place and friendliest owner of a place we've ever met.

This lovely place was flawed for us by the incredibly inhospitable host. His son who was in the UK was very helpful over the phone, otherwise we would not have gained access despite fixing a time window for arrival. Host doesn't speak any English at all but immediately asked for payment in "cash" - despite the booking confirmation saying one could pay by credit card. He was surly and extremely unfriendly. Our apartment was on the first floor, large, with a nice balcony and tastefully and comfortably furnished. The pool is lovely and sun beds and parasols were good. There is no toilet facility by the pool so one has to go back up to the room. We couldn't use the balcony at night because both outside lights weren't working, which we didn't realise until it was dark. Our booking was supposed to include a welcome drink which we had to ask for via the owner's son by phone again and we were then given a bottle of wine. Although the property itself is nice we were upset by the generally unpleasant behaviour of the host, who the next morning refused to even smile to return our greeting. The cleaner was pleasant however, when we checked out. There were several other apartments with guests, one of whom had also had difficulty gaining access on arrival. Although we really appreciated the help given by phone from the owner's son for our arrival this was not a proper or satisfactory situation. We have stayed in much more pleasant and friendly properties with incredibly welcoming and helpful hosts than this, at considerably less cost, over a three week touring holiday in Crete. 

Beautiful apartment on the outskirts of Vamos with very surly host

We stayed at Elianthos Villas for 2 weeks in Villa Basil.
Despite our prior notification of arrival time, it took us some time after our arrival  to finally located a man at the property, who spoke little English, did not appear to be expecting us and was very rude.
After being shown to our apartment, we were not happy with it. There was no iron, hairdryer or safe which should have been provided ( according to the website ). There was a general lack of storage space for clothes and a lack of space for food storage in the kitchen.
My wife spoke to a lady on the phone  ( whom we assumed to be the owner ) who wanted to sort these problems out over the phone. My wife insisted that she come and sort things out that day. She arrived later that day, was very pleasant and spoke good English. She came with an iron, hairdryer and safe at the same time I paid her in cash for the 2 weeks stay. This was the only time we saw her.
We were not asked to complete a registration form or provide our passports on arrival as has previously been the case on the many occasions we have stayed on Crete.
The most pleasant and efficient person at Elianthos was the cleaner who kept our apartment spotless and spoke reasonable English.
A few days before we came home I phoned ( the owner ) for a receipt for the accommodation payment, this duly arrived by a person on a motorbike.
Several people turned up during our stay and no one was there to show them their accommodation.
This is no way to run a business and we will never stay at this accommodation again.
