Selfcatering Villa in Crete Makrigialos withprivate Pool,Sea and mountain view

The villa is located on a hillside, overlooking the sea. It boasts fantastic sweeping views over unspoilt countryside filled with olive groves down to the sparking azure sea. It offers a fantastic degree of privacy, and there are very few signs of habitation as far as the eye can see. However as the the bustling harbour of Makrigialos is only 3 kms away, you have privacy without sacrificing convenience. With the car you can easily reach the numerous tavernas, shops and unspoilt beaches throughout your holiday stay.
The villa offers particularly spacious accommodation with a total of 4 bedrooms (3doubles-1single) and an extra bed option arranged over two floors and two lovely terraces, one on the ground floor at the front of the house and the other on the first floor leading off one of the bedrooms. The traditional feel of the house, which strikes you immediately upon swing the thick stone-walled exterior as you approach along the rough track leading to the house (all types of car are suitable, some of our guests prefer slightly high ground clearance cars or SUVs), is echoed in the interiors which have been furnished with family heirlooms and antiques. The bedrooms have lovely old iron bedsteads with decorative metalwork and modern floors and shutters.The very special living area boasts an open fireplace and to one side is a large well equipped kitchen area with a full oven and fridge. All the bedrooms on the first floor have attractive sloping ceilings,and from the single bedroom there is access to a large terrace at the front of the house which is a perfect spot to sit in the quiet of the late evening and watch for shooting stars.Outside is the pool area with the BBQ, equipped with large table and chairs and also a garden.

Lots of character
A lovely house for a relaxing holiday. No road noise, lovely views (mountains, sea, sunset). Many beaches within easy reach, with decent main roads. Makri Gialos was better than we expected for shopping, with a butcher and fruit & vegetable shop in addition to the mini markets (which sell most essentials) and cafes for treats. Nice restaurants such as Dragon's Cave, Diaskari, Kami, several along by the harbour and more all along the coast. Also Roman and Minoan ruins to add a bit of culture. The night sky is awesome. George answered all our questions and is a lovely, kind host. Efcharistó!

Lovely house
I want to start by saying this is a beautiful property away from everyone you WILL have no interruptions here. The property is situated on a hill up a dirt path with overhanging plants. This road will seem a little daunting the first couple of times but is not too bad, do be careful with your car we picked up a couple of scratches from olive trees. Once at the property the only 2 things to mention is 1 the internet is only a top up hotspot. This wasn’t a problem for us but could have been if we had to rely on it and not our phones data. 2 the water pressure can drop out due to being on a hill. Other than this the pool was lovely the balcony was brilliant to sit on whilst having dinner and the sky is so clear of a night you can see satellites moving between the stars. George is a lovely host and couldn’t be more helpful he also made us a lovely lunch and was full of great tourist advice overall it was a lovely stay if getting away from the herd is what you want.

Wonderful house with beautiful view of ocean
Host was very friendly. Enjoyed the pool. The landscaping with beautiful flowers was a treat. We were very happy with the authenticity of the stone house and design. The artwork was very special. Thanks for sharing your place.

Great family holiday
We loved our stay in this house. It had everything we needed and it was in a beautiful, quiet spot with total privacy.George is the perfect host, kind and helpful. The house is up a rough track so bear in mind when hiring a car. The views are incredible and you can drive to a different beach every day. Makrygialos has plenty of food places to offer but we recommend Diaskari taverna, down a tiny track and right on the beach.

Rustic Farmhouse in a Beautiful Location
The location, size, and layout of the villa and property are fantastic. George and Irene were helpful with information about the areas beaches and tavernas. Pool and outdoor space was great too. We all loved the amazing view and peaceful privacy. Rustic house and decor, but that's the experience we were looking for. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and comfortable beds and clean sheets and towels. There were lots of sun beds by the pool, and some were used on the upper terrace for star-gazing at night. We stayed during a hot spell, so air conditioning would have been welcomed for sure. Also, we expected wireless internet, but the method required us to buy a phone card - it wasn't straightforward. Not recommended (especially if you need to work remotely) unless you are familiar with that method of getting on the internet. Overall - really neat place.

Beautiful remote villa, surrounded by olive gardens, with stunning views over the sea and mountains
Loved this tastefully designed really period rural villa, set in a quiet spot with no neighbours around and a fantastic sandy clean beach, we had a lovely relaxing holiday. The house and the pool was clean, water changed easily. It was plenty of room for a big family with children both inside and outside. The outside space was so lovely and we ate and spent most of our time there outside as there is a nice and big grill space with a large dining table and stunning views. I loved this holiday and will definitely be going back!

The perfect house for a family holiday
We stayed at Stone Villa at the end of July this year. We are a family of eight, with ages ranging from 2 to 76, and the house was perfect for us. A true family holiday house set amongst the olive groves with amazing views of the mountains and the coast. On arrival Irini and George gave us a warm welcome and were hugely helpful with local information on local tavernas, beaches and where to shop. We loved the remoteness of the house, the pool and the shady BBQ area. The house is beautifully furnished with basic but adequate kitchen facilities, spotlessly clean and very comfortable beds. The Stone House is remote, up a very long , bumpy track, yet only 3km from the very nice small friendly town of Makrigialos with its good selection of beachside Tavernas - the perfect place for a family lunch and an afternoon on the sandy beach. On arrival the younger members of the family asked if there was air conditioning. I have to say, that when booking this holiday, it hadn't crossed my mind to ask. There isn't air conditioning, and as the house is on the coast and sometimes quite windy, normally probably not necessary, and although we had fans in the bedrooms, think small air conditioning units for the upstairs bedrooms could be useful when the temperatures rise in high summer. Thank you to a Irini and George for letting us stay in your much loved family home - we hope to return in the not too distant future.

Sehr schönes Haus, einzigartiger Blick auf Meer und Berge. Absolut ruhig. Schöner, kleiner Pool, allerdings Ende Oktober zu kalt für uns. Sehr netter Kontakt mit George. Gerne einmal wieder.

Un vrai bonheur !
Nous avons passé 15 jours merveilleux chez George et Irini. Tout a été parfait, la gentillesse et la disponibilité de nos hôtes, l'emplacement de la maison. Seul bémol la chaleur que les nombreux ventilateurs n'ont pas réussi à baisser. Nous essaierons de revenir dans ce lieu merveilleux pour de prochaines vacances.
