Holiday rentals in Varda

We had a great time at Elia House! The house was spotless, very tidy, and exactly as shown in the photos, modern and comfortable . From the very beginning, we felt at home. The location is very convenient for excursions in the area and is also next to the beach which is accessible on foot and is all sandy. We visited the beach, Ancient Olympia which is very close, we went for a walk in Caiaphas and enjoyed the nature. There are also several villages and taverns for nice food and relaxation in the surrounding area. Georgia, the host, was very friendly and helpful as she was always willing to help us with anything we needed. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely go back since it is just 3 hours from Athens. We recommend it to anyone who wants a calm and beautiful stay in Ilia and visit Ancient Olympia.

The accommodation was incredibly well maintained and furnished with love for detail. The view directly to the sea was indescribable. I'll be back

I would like to share my experience staying at this beautiful house, perfectly situated right by the sea with very few people around and clean, clear water. We visited in August and thoroughly enjoyed our time by the coast. The house is fully equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Everything, from the beds to the furniture, kitchen, and appliances, is of good quality. A special thanks to the hosts for their attentiveness. Christos, the host, is truly exceptional and goes above and beyond to ensure the comfort of his guests. We requested four sunbeds for the garden, and even though it wasn't easy, he made sure they were provided, allowing us to sunbathe right in our own garden under the beautiful trees. In short, I highly recommend this house to anyone who loves a peaceful and quiet seaside retreat, and I personally look forward to returning here in the future.

Fantastic treehouse in the middle of an orange plantation. The place is incredibly beautiful. Thank you

Our stay was super peaceful. The place is beautiful and we appreciated the detailed touches. Close to a large supermarket and a short walk from the water, it's an ideal location for a restful getaway. Communication was excellent - thank you for everything!

We had an amazing 3 week stay! The hosts were incredibly accommodating and flexible throughout our trip, always ready to help and provide wonderful recommendations for local spots. The location was perfect, just a quick 5-minute walk to the port with ferries to Kefalonia and Zakynthos, which made exploring the islands so convenient. We arrived late at night, and they went above and beyond to ensure we got in smoothly. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fantastic stay in the area! Thank you for letting us stay at your place!!

The house is very nice and in the midst of a nice garden. It is very quiet and the house is well equipped. The beach is only a short walk (less than 5 minutes) away and has golden sand and the water is amazing. During the summer months there is also a beach bar, but the beach is large enough that you can also spend your day by yourself. However, we would like to add two things. They are stated in the description, but we were not fully aware of them and would like to point out: 1) There is no wi-fi! 2) The note that smoking is permitted on the property means that people/guests were smoking inside, even in the bedroom. You could smell the old smoke throughout the house and it took us several days to get rid of the smell. The house is advertised as ‘family friendly’, but this was really a negative issue as we were traveling with our very small child which should not be exposed to the smell of smoke at all.

The whole experience exceeded our expectations. We came for two months in spring directly to orange season, so we were able to enjoy them every day. The location is very peaceful and private. We are especially grateful that host accepts visitors with dogs, and the garden is fenced so the dog can freely roam without the fear of being lost. The house itself contains all you need to live there. It looks like it was built and equipped with quality materials and furniture. It is good place for remote working as it features high speed modem and the signal is good at the area. Managed to have video conferencing without issues. I would say to have a car is must, because it’s a few km to nearest market. The distance to the beaches is walkable. Myself I have really enjoyed walking in the surrounding villages after work day. Vasileios was very helpful and provided local recommendations and map. We were also provided olive oil for all our stay by the host and it’s extremely good quality.
