Rejuvenate family & friends at Stunning Villa Estia - close to beach & tavernas.
Note: Many reviews on Tripadvisor. Simply in 'Find' enter 'Villa Estia' and in 'Near' enter 'Makry-Gialos, Greece'.
Villa Estia is a magnificent architect designed home, surrounded by the stark beauty of Cretan mountains with views of a warm and inviting sea.
Comfortable Estia nestles in landscaped gardens and a maturing olive tree grove, far enough from neighbouring properties to leave you in a private, calm world of your own.
Your family and friends can unwind by the pool or soak up the sun on comfortable sunbeds before cooling off in the shaded seating areas. At the end of a great day, eat a relaxed meal cooked to perfection on the open-air barbecue or dine more formally inside where there is still plenty of space for the family to spread – your choice on a warm Cretan night.
The villa includes a modern, well equipped kitchen (including 2 dishwashers), washing machine, Smart TV, music system, Wi-Fi (with internet access) and hot and cold air conditioning throughout. There is a full range of patio furnishings available.
Just a 15 minute walk to the nearest beach, a five minute drive to the tavernas, bars, shops and the safe family friendly beaches of Makrygialos.
The villa is managed by Lagada Management Company (LMC) with English, German, French and Greek speakers available. LMC is only 2 minutes away and there is someone available during most waking hours. A LMC representative will meet you, give you the keys and show you round the property.
A car is highly recommended but you can manage with taxis to/from Makrygialos town.
The villa has a Greek EOT License - 1040K92003097501.

Tolle Villa mit traumhaften Blick
Wir waren für 10 Tage in der Villa Estia und haben jeden Tag genossen. Sie lag sehr ruhig und abseits vom Trubel mit Blick auf das Meer. Die Zimmer waren geräumig und die Betten bequem.
Es waren Kleinigkeiten nicht in Ordnung, wie einzelne Lampen und ein Toiletten Deckel, aber das hat nicht gestört. Der Pool war zwar nicht riesig, aber zum Abkühlen har es allemal gereicht.
Als Tip für den Weg zum Haus: ein Geländewagen wäre von Vorteil.
Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen

Prachtige villa
Prachtige villa, werkelijk van alle gemakken voorzien. Heel rustig gelegen, maar niet ver van gezellig dorp met winkeltjes, leuke terrasjes en vele lekkere restaurants. In de omgeving leuke plaatsen om te bezoeken, opgravingen, mooie stranden, uitdagende kloofwandelingen. Voor elk wat wils!

we discovered a new face of Crete
We stayed 1 week with 3 boys during the summer. The house is really nice, well furnished. The swimming pool has the right size to enjoy and spend a lot of time in it, from early morning to late evening. The house is isolated, meaning it is really calm and pieceful. And the view on the sea is just amazing. The whole area is nice. Less tourists then in the north of Crete, but with amazing beaches with real sand and beautiful. And clearly less croawded then in other parts of Crete.
Not to forget the communication with Martin and Sue, that have been super helpful.
The whole family enjoyed the stay and we highly recommend this location.

Très bon séjour
Très bon séjour dans la maison de Martin et Sue. C’était simple de communiquer avec eux et avec l’agence. Bon accueil. La maison est très agréable, très calme, avec une vue sur la mer dont on ne se lasse pas et une belle piscine. On a pu rayonner et découvrir cette magnifique région Sud-est de la Crète.

Traumurlaub!
Das Haus ist einfach großartig! Es war super sauber und sehr gepflegt. 2 Schlafzimmer haben ein Bad im Zimmer, 2 teilen sich ein Bad. Für uns gar kein Problem. Jedes Zimmer hat eine Terrasse und auf dem Dach ist noch eine riesige Terrasse. Aber das Highlight ist der Pool und die vielen Sitzecken und -möglichkeiten im Außenbereich. Auch sind genug Liegen vorhanden, sowie eine Kiste mit Wasserspielzeug.
Der Weg zum Haus ist gewöhnungsbedürftig und könnte mal geteert werden. Aber diese Hoppelpiste gehört irgendwie halt dazu.😄
Auch die Ansprechpartnerin vor Ort war zu jeder Zeit erreichbar und hat sich auch immer sofort gekümmert, wenn etwas war.
Die Umgebung war für uns ebenfalls genau richtig. Absolute Ruhe am Haus und abends sind wir nach Makrygialos gefahren (ca.7 Minuten Fahrt) um an der dortigen Strandpromenade zu essen. Ein nettes Restaurant reiht sich an das nächste und die typischen Souvenir-und Strandläden sucht man hier umsonst. Wir haben in den 14 Tagen nicht alle Restaurants geschafft, aber immer gut gegessen. Die Großeltern haben gerne auch noch einen Aperitif in dem ein oder anderen Café vor dem Abendessen genossen. Besonders toll war für uns, dass die Kinder auch am Abend noch am Strand spielen konnten und wir dadurch ganz entspannt sitzen bleiben.
Wer trotzdem gerne mal durch den ein oder anderen Souvenirladen schlendern möchte, muss einfach nur die Hauptstraße etwas von den Restaurants hochlaufen.
Außerdem können wir noch die 20 Minuten entfernte Bucht Agia Fotia empfehlen. Dort waren wir immer am (Stein)Strand. Es gibt ein Restaurant und eine Bar, Liegestühle und Sonnenschirme (7€ für 2 Liegestühle mit Sonnenschirm) und kristallklares Wasser! Ein Traum.
Wir waren wirklich rundum begeistert. Aufgrund der wirklich hohen Temperaturen haben wir leider nicht viele Ausflüge gemacht. Aber in Heraklion waren wir einen Tag und können das nur empfehlen. Auch hier überwiegen tausende von schönen Tavernen, Kneipen, Bars und Restaurants und dazwischen findet man ganz unauffällig zahlreiche Shopping Möglichkeiten.
Außerdem waren wir in Agios Nikolaios und auch das war wirklich einen Ausflug wert. Auf dem Weg dorthin findet man auch wieder schöne Buchten, also Badesachen einpacken. Die hatten wir leider nicht dabei.
Ich denke man kann hören, wie gut es uns gefallen hat. Die Griechen sind unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit und wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen.
Und mit Sicherheit auch wieder in dieses Haus!

Traumhafte Zeit !
Das Haus ist toll ! 4 Schlafzimmer und auch der Wohnbereich schön groß. Alles war ordentlich sauber und der Pool wurde regelmäßig gereinigt.
Die Straße ist tatsächlich abenteuerlich auf den letzten 300 m.
Es war sehr ruhig und entspannt! Unser 4jähriger war begeistert vom Pool :-)
Das Haus kann man uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
