Ville du Soleil offers traditional stone-built houses in Makrigialos, in south Crete. The long sandy beach of Lagada is just 450 meters away. The bungalows and villas are elegant, with stone walls, wooden furniture and timber ceilings. Their private balconies offer sea or landscape views. Each offers a comfortable seating area with fireplace. A welcome basket consisting of homemade jams, sweets and a bottle of a traditional drink is offered. Makrigialos is graced with a long sandy beach and a splendid backdrop of mountains with gorges. The village boasts a delightful selection of taverns, bars and cafe , all serving delicious local flavours.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Ville Du Soleil, located at Laggada, Makrigialos, 72055, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Ville Du Soleil, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Ville Du Soleil are revisited so often.
