Ville du Soleil, a domain of six traditionally built houses, is located on the South - East part of the island of Crete, next to the village of Makrygialos.
It can offer all comforts of a relaxing holiday residence in combination with the simplicity and generosity of the Cretan hospitality.
The domain offers four newly constructed Maisonettes (double-floored houses) and two Bungalows (one-floored houses), which are ready to host the ones who seek the pleasure of the Cretan wild beauty and relax in the view of the Mediterranean Sea.
The houses are built on a hill with the white regional stone, which matches perfectly with the surrounding landscape and are surrounded by the family's olive trees and wild herbs.
All houses have a panoramic view of the olive fields and the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, with the Laggada beach around 400 metres away.
On the ground floor of the Maissonete, is the living room with the fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom with two single beds, and a WC with a little shower.
On the upper floor there is the bedroom with a double bed, the large bathroom with a shower, a little storage room and the large balcony with the panoramic view of the sea, the nearby mountains and our olive trees.
The combination of the stonewalls with the wooden furniture and the timber ceilings constitute an elegant decoration of the interiors which can provide at the same time coolness during the summer and warmth during winter.
Each of the four villas and the two bungalows can accommodate up to 5 people and consist of:
• two bedrooms with a balcony (off of the master bedroom on the upper floor for the villas, off the living room for the bungalows), all with a panoramic view of the surrounding area and the Mediterranean Sea,
