About this property
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 the warm and inviting Mediterranean 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.
Many Reviews on TripAdvisor - put in 'Villa Estia', Makry-Gialos, Crete!
PLEASE NOTE: As from January 2025 the Greek Government has introduced a new tax - it is called 'Climate Change Tax'. This tax is levied on properties i.e. not on people. The amount of tax due is dependent upon the size of the property. Unfortunately, Villa Estia falls within the highest rate of tax payable and is €15 per night. The amount of tax due for each reservation will be notified to our guests in advance of their arrival and will be payable directly to our Managing Agents. Our Managing Agents are Lagada Management Company (LMC) - it is LMC from whom our guests collect the keys to the villa.

Why they chose this property
The ability to relax and focus on the family in luxurious surroundings away from the world and yet easily join the hustle and bustle when you want to.
What makes this property unique
This area of Crete, with its friendly and laid back people, has its own 'micro-climate' (SE Crete has more sunshine hours than any other part of Europe) and is famous for its jaw dropping scenery, stunning beaches, wonderful weather, olives and locally produced wine. It is less bustling and noisy than the north of the island yet still with plenty of things for an active family to do.
