My girlfriend and I stayed at Albion House for a 5-night break mid-October. As the tourist season was winding down, the price was very reasonable and there were no hordes of tourists to compete with, which made it an ideal time to get away from it all. We landed at Heraklion airport and opted to hire a car (although Julia... More

Me and my mother have been to Crete many times and wanted something different than just laying on the beach. And we came across Julia Jones the owner of Albion House, and also the founder of FlowersOfCrete. She will take you to places you could not imagine was Crete. We were staying for 5 weeks and the time just went... More

We have travelled around the Greek Islands for many years, but never have we stayed anywhere as special as Albion House.We fell in love with the house,village and locals immediately ,it was a truly awsome experience.

This unique property immediately made us feel part of a village community rather than tourists. Set in a historic village in the hills above Elounda, where a film was being made of 'The island' about the leper colony on Spinalonga, it was a fascinating insight into Cretan life.

An unexpected unique experience - from the moment julia picked us up from the airport and dropped us off at Albion House for our weeks stay, we were relaxed and totally at ease with this lovely original cretan house- the views from the roof terrace are so amazing the mountains can be seen across the bay - we often ate...

But after we dropped our luggage off at Julia's house, we parked nearby just a few minutes walk away and you could drive straight down to the main town of... More

This isn't a modern property which could be in any holiday destination, this is the real Crete. If you're looking for tradition, character and comfortable accommodation within a picturesque village, then Albion House in Pano Elounda has it all. (Because of it's quirky interior on 3 floors, it's not for anyone unhappy negotiating stairs). The views from the roof terrace... More

Albion House is a delightful blend of modern comforts in a 200 year old traditional village home. The charm gets to you big time but do not expect it to fit any concept of a conventional tourist accommodation. We loved it from the moment we arrived and although we had plans to stay for a week we ended up spending... More

I have promised to write this review since last July when I first met Julia and went to stay at Albion House. As a solo traveller Julia unusually offered to share her house with me in July last year when I was looking for a place to stay. The rest, as they say, is history!! I remember that first night... More
