Property info

Elia Woodstone Houses were renovated to highlight the architectural and traditional elements of the existing spaces. The Houses are grouped in three different complexes. The first complex is comprised of Irida - a 4 bedroom house and Anemone a 1 bedroom house, sharing the pool and garden. The second complex is comprised of Thalasocrino - a 4 bedroom house and Elihriso a 2 bedroom house, sharing the pool and garden. The third complex is comprised of Margariti Woodstone House a 2 bedroom house without a pool. All 5 houses are located in the small village called Elia, just 10 km away from Heraklion, the capital city of the island. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful with no habitable houses nearby. The view is quite stunning and unique, a characteristic of the Cretan island, where you are surrounded by mountains and sea. The name of the village is referencing one of the most treasured resources of the island: olives. For Cretans, growing olives, is a way of living that nourishes them and helps them have a strong healthy life.
