About this villa rental
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.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Estia, set just a short drive from Makry Gialos in a peaceful hillside location. The villa offered everything we needed for a relaxing family holiday and then some!The views were truly breathtaking—rolling hills, sea glimpses, and beautiful sunsets right from the terrace. The pool was a standout feature for us. It was perfect for both younger children and adults, with a great layout and plenty of space to swim or cool off. There were also plenty of shaded areas around the pool and outdoor seating, which was ideal for escaping the midday sun without having to head inside.Inside, the air-conditioning worked flawlessly throughout the villa—powerful, quiet, and consistent. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and there was a great sense of privacy and calm throughout. We especially enjoyed the dining spaces both indoors and out—perfect for big family meals or laid-back breakfasts with a view. There are many lovely places to see in a hire car and easily fell your time up on the island. Overall, we had a fantastic stay. Villa Estia is peaceful, well-equipped, and an excellent choice for families or groups looking to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of Crete. We’d absolutely stay again!

I Have to say that this has been the most special holiday for my family, from initial booking to guidance, information and assistance from the LMC team and the property owners Martin and Sue. The Villa is better than the pictures show with lots of space nice pool clean and above all quiet. The location allows you to travel to the south side of the island where most is still untouched by tourism. Makry itself is a beautiful little harbour town with tavernas and an accessible beach. Food is plentiful and reasonably priced. I my belief you will not find a better villa and location in this area than Estia Villa
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2024
Our holiday in the Villa met all our high expectations. The Villa has superb accommodation and outside areas and facilities. The Management Company looked after a couple of issues which arose, including loss of hot water, very quickly. Makry Gialos is a fantastic and authentic resort, away from the tourist hot spots. So nice, I fear its secret will be out soon and it will grow and lose some of its charm. I recommend you get to it now! Martyn, Shirley & family.
