Just returned from an excellent trip to Villea Village, Makrigialos in Crete, and thoroughly recommend it. The staff are very welcoming and friendly with a good knowledge of the local area. Villea is an hotel and apartment complex set in an olive grove. The grounds, pool and bar area are immaculately kept, with bourganvillea adorning the walls. The rooms were... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Extremely conveniently located for the beach (great beach), tavernas etc - far enough away from the bars so the noise doesn't disturb you. Our room was quiet and well appointed. All the staff we encountered were great - from reception on never anything other than a smile. The pool bar was great - again... More

We stayed there from 20-27 August 2011. It was the second time after 12 years that I 've been there through time-sharing. We had 2 rooms with 2 bathrooms. I 've seen different opinions about the hotel. OK, it 's a B class (or 3 stars) hotel. This doesn 't matter me. It is clean, the rooms have just everything... More

We have visited this hotel with our 2 chlidren of 6 and 4 years old. The hotel is very old. The reception is not working the whole day but only some hours in the morning and in the afternoon. There is only one person for bookings, reception and for accompany visitors to their rooms, so you have to wait a... More

I have seen a lot of bad publicity about this hotel. However, my experience is exactly the opposite. Stayed there June 17-24th 2011 as a timeshare. Had a 1 bdr/1 bath with two twins/day beds in the living room. The room was spotless, the kitchen had enough equipment for any cooking we cared to do. The staff were courteous, helpful,... More

The rooms are extremely small about 200 sq. ft. The telephone is a rotary phone from 1960 and the TV is not far from that too. The "studio" doesn't even provide the basics like Shampoo and the kitchen has no cleaning products or knives. The beds are only twin sizes and harder than a rock. The "resort" is located in... More

Location OK, pool OK, rooms shocking... probably the worst equipped timeshare rooms we've stayed in. We had a one bedroomed apartment but in fact was just two bedrooms as there were no chairs or sofa in the 'lounge', just two single beds and a old table with four mixed chairs. Furniture and fittings were Butlins/Pontins circa 1976 so if you're... More

We stayed in one of the fairly basic rooms, There was no real cooking facility in the room, as I recall just a sink and fridg, but we did not miss that even though we usually like to make breakfast for our selves. There are good to excellent restaurants and bakeries within a 5 minute walk. The staff was helpful... More

We stayed at Villea Village at beginning of October with some trepidation after reading the two most recent reviews. To put the record straight we could not fault any member of staff, they just couldn't have been more helpful. Nico at the Pool Bar orchestrated everyone over drinks and before you knew it we were all spending time together, laughing... More
