Maxine
Founder / Owner
Born and brought up abroad and having lived in a number of different countries I have never really lost the ‘wander-lust’. It was a lucky coincidence that led me to the business of travel, a business that has enabled me to keep travelling and visiting new and wonderful places and all in the name of work!
I started Elysian Holidays over 20 years ago when neighbours on a Greek island asked me to market their beautifully renovated village houses. From the experience of letting my own house, I knew what was possible and didn’t hesitate to say ‘yes’. For me they represented all that I think is important in a holiday property – character, comfort and quality. They have to be in a special part of the world, somewhere that really lifts the spirits and washes away the stresses of modern life.
From the beginning I wanted to provide my clients with quality accommodation, at all levels, whether a simple beach-side studio apartment or luxury villa. I have dedicated the last 20 years to carefully selecting properties and destinations that match my strict standards and the demands of seasoned independent travellers. Most of the properties have been seen by me or have been recommended by a colleague who shares my passion for finding the ideal dream holiday for each client’s quite unique wishes. To my great delight and satisfaction, customer feedback (see below) confirms that this is what we consistently manage to achieve.
