Villea Village
Resort overview
The lovely holiday apartments at Villea Village in Makrigialos, Crete are built in traditional whitewashed Greek style, the two storey buildings enclose a verdant and tranquil central garden with a large outdoor swimming pool. Villea has a choice of one bedroom and studio apartments all with either a balcony or terrace that mainly overlook the central garden.
Villea is built in an olive grove and these trees provide shade in the gardens and pool area and also the means to hang the hammocks - a great way to chill out on a hot day. The abundance of vegetation makes Villea feel quiet and peaceful. All apartments have terrestrial television and direct dial telephone. An Internet Cafe and satellite television is available in the lobby. On site is a 25m pool, Fisherman Jack's pool bar, barbeque area, patio area for breakfasts, drinks, play area for children, table tennis and the occasional Greek dancing lesson.
Please note Reception is closed from 10pm/11pm and re-opens at 7am/8am - depending on the time of year. Arrivals outside these times will find their apartments clearly indicated and open for them. An excellent reasonably priced buffet breakfast is served in the lobby building during the morning and from lunchtime onwards light meals, various teas, coffees, cocktails and a selection of beers and local wines are served at the pool bar.
Villea Village on the island of Crete is situated in the friendly village of Makrigialos, within walking distance of shops, restaurants and only 100m from the long sandy beach.
The south eastern corner of Crete is one of the most unspoilt parts of the island, the local scenery is impressive: from small islands with crystal clear waters and sandy beaches, to mountain plateaux full of windmills and picturesque villages. There is a choice of historical attractions including the summer palaces of King Minoas, Byzantine monasteries and Venetian castles.
If you are looking for a village atmosphere and a safe environment then this is the place. You can safely walk down the beach at night and within a ten minute drive you can find many deserted beaches, some of which may require a scramble to get to, but thoroughly rewarding for the effort.
Villea Village is a perfect holiday destination for a relaxing, convivial and pleasant experience. We recommend a car to make the most of this area as the Resort is surrounded by beautiful countryside and unspoiled mountain villages.
