"We received a very warm welcome by the owners. Although we arrived early they accommodated us and checked us in early. The breakfast was authentic and delicious! The rooms spacious and clean. And oh, the view Fantastic!! I wish we could have stayed longer"

"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!"

"We enjoyed the unique character of the property from the enchanting colour schemes to the different levels of the accommodation. The decor and art work was clearly the work of an artist. We were able to spend days or large parts of the day in comfort, using the garden and living areas. "

"Every aspect of the property and closeness to the waterfront was great. "

"The lady who owns or manages the place is the kindest and most helpful person we’ve met. She made us feel at home. Beaches are within walking distance, the pool is also very clean and private. "

"Jamine was a delight. The facility was excellent and having two patios (north & south) most appreciated. Great location for exploring the Eastern part of the island."

"A wonderful hotel. Great staff. The location and grounds are lovely. Pools are so perfectly maintained with plenty of sun chairs. We used the fitness center, which you can reserve. It has everything you need for a good workout. Seafront restaurants are a short walk away. The Cretan House was our favorite. Right on the harbor with impressive food. Also liked the easy parking. If you drive in Crete you know what that means. Our 4 night stay was a highlight of our 6 week trip around Crete. Highly recommend. "

"Sea view from room is amazing and clean room. "
