Featuring a private chef service we can prepare you meals from the magnificent menu catalogue of 44 Kouzina restaurant at the time and day that you choose (please order in advance). We also provide music with professional speakers and an amplifier placed in the garden courtyard. You can connect your mobile phone and from the amplifier you can also listen to the radio.  
  
In the heart of authentic Crete, in the wine-rich village of Avgeniki near Heraklion, Villa Elborgini invites you to immerse yourself in a world of flavor, aroma, and elegant comfort. Surrounded by rolling vineyards and ancient olive groves, this luxurious villa is a dream escape for wine lovers, nature enthusiasts, and seekers of true Cretan hospitality.  
  
Its location is ideal: just minutes away from some of the island’s most esteemed wineries — Lyrarakis, Douloufakis, Idaia Winery, and several smaller boutique estates, all open for tours and tastings that highlight Crete’s rich winemaking heritage.  
  
But the experience doesn’t stop in the countryside. In the vibrant city of Heraklion, you’ll find Kouzina44 — the acclaimed restaurant owned by the same host who welcomes you to Villa Elborgini. A refined space where contemporary Cretan cuisine meets creativity, Kouzina44 offers a curated wine list featuring the very labels grown near your villa. Every dish tells a story, every glass connects you to the land.  
  
Villa Elborgini isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a sensory journey where wine, flavor, and Cretan soul come together beautifully.  
  
Experience a unique stay in a newly renovated, three-level village house dating back to 1927\. This charming home is full of positive energy and ready to provide joy and comfort for your holiday. Conveniently located in the center of the island, the house is perfect for exploring the area's natural beauty and stunning beaches.  
  
The property is fully equipped to meet your needs, featuring two kitchens with modern appliances such as a dishwasher, a Nespresso coffee machine, a gas stove, and a toaster to help you prepare your favorite meals or delicious breakfasts. The house comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests, with two cozy double beds in separate rooms and a single bed in another bedroom.  
  
The living room is equipped with a large LCD TV and the House gives access to high-speed Wi-Fi, ensuring relaxation and entertainment during your stay. For those warm summer days, the house has air conditioning in all bedrooms and the living room. Clean towels and sheets are provided throughout your stay, and the kitchen on the ground floor includes a washing machine and ironing facilities for your convenience.  
  
Both the entrance of the House and the garden veranda are furnished and offer a peaceful retreat where you can enjoy stunning views of the lush, green village while having quiet dinners. Outside the kitchen, there’s an open veranda leading to a garden filled with trees and flower pots. The garden also features a traditional oven for grilling and baking with coal or wood.  
  
Our house is situated in the heart of the village, within walking distance of local shops. The nearest pharmacy and clinic are located in Venerato, just 1 kilometer from the village center. The Heraklion airport and port are 26 and 24 kilometers away, respectively, and the nearest beach, Ammoudara, is just 20 kilometers away. You can also reach other beaches to the south of the island in less than 30 minutes car drive.   
  
Mini markets are available in the village center of Kerasia and nearby Venerato, 1 kilometer away. Venerato is also home to traditional tavernas, where you can savor local dishes and enjoy authentic, non-bottled wine.
