About this property

Luxury 2 Bedroom Contemporary Townhouse in Makrigialos, Crete

A spacious, modern townhouse with spectacular sea views, well equipped, open-plan kitchen and huge outdoor living spaces. One of only two such houses with a roof terrace, it accommodates up to six in one double bedroom with ensuite shower room and one twin room, both with fully independent air-conditioning, and a double sofa bed in lounge area. Every attention to detail has been paid to make this stunning property a comfortable home away from home. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, washing machine & microwave. There is a wood burning stove in the lounge. The living area is also air conditioned and has an LCD TV with DVD player and library of DVDs. Both bedrooms have hairdryers, and beach towels are included to save weight and space in your suitcases. There are three furnished balconies, and a large landscaped roof terrace with high quality fixed & mobile outdoor furniture for lounging & dining. There is a dedicated private wifi broadband internet connection all over the house which allows content streaming to your devices (most properties at Lagada Resort will only offer wifi via the public access which does not facilitate streaming).


Makrigialos: Situated on the south east coast of Crete, Makrigialos is only 30 minutes from the working towns of Ierepatra (on the south coast) and Sitia (on the north coast).

Makrigialos is characterised by some of the best beaches in all of Crete (and that is saying something). There are many secluded coves, all gently lapped by crystal clear waters of the mediterranean sea.

A mountain ridge runs West to East across the island and it is this which gives Southern Crete it's own very special climate. The mountains shield this part of the island from any 'inclement' weather. Additionally Makrigialos itself is surrounded by it's own mountain range. This geography means that the Makrigialos area has the best climate in all of Crete, and possibly the entire Mediterranean.

The area is popular with tourists all through the winter who prefer the quieter times or like to trek or walk the gorges.

It is not difficult to understand why the area produces what is considered to be the best olive oil in the world.

Things to do...: Crete really is a place that allows you to do as little as much as you want.

We strongly recommend that you hire a car. The island is quite simply beautiful, and it would be a shame to visit Crete and not see some of it. Driving is easy and car hire is very reasonable. For the price of pre-booked airport transfers for a family of four, you can probably hire a car for a week. If you wish to hire a car, we can recommend the company that we use. We do not take any commission from them, we just want our clients to be recommended to the companies that give the best service.

If you don't wish to hire a car for the entire duration of your stay, the resort management company (LMC) offer pre-booking of airport transfers for up to four people at a time. Similarly, a pre-booked car shuttle service is offered between the resort and the town centre.

All manner of water sports are available within easy reach, including scuba diving, fishing, sailing, etc.....

Other nearby attractions include:
The gorges of Pefki, Dasaki and Pervolakia
Day boat trip to nearby Chrissi & Koufonisi Islands
Wine-tasting at the Kapsa monastery
Traditional Cretan evenings in Pefki.
Makrigialos hosts a very popular international music festival in June.
Visit to Spinalonga

THE place to relax
After staying here for 10 days I can safely say that I have never felt so relaxed! The apartment is beautifully furnished with two comfortable bedrooms and a homely living space with a range of cooking appliances. Most importantly though, the view: the apartment has a spectacular view of the sea from its two balconies (perfect for a romantic view of the sunset!) The resort itself has an impressive pool area that is the ultimate place to sun yourself with a good book, or go for a relaxing dip. Thanks to the resorts on-site taxi service, you can easily get to the plethora of delicious restaurants that Makrygialos has to offer. Compliments to the on-site cafe that adds a real buzz to the place, especially thanks to its friendly staff. It is incredibly handy for breakfast and lunch, as well as a nice cold beer, wine or cocktail.

A refreshing gem overlooking the sea and mountains
My wife and child were immediately taken with the contemporary feel of the Philpot's property. The accommodations were clean, fresh and modern. In particular, the roof deck offered an incredible 360 degree view of the quaint town of Makrigialos, sheer mountain cliffs and the wind-swept coast. Far from the tourist crowds of the Northern Coast, the Bayview property offered all of the convenience of nearby tavernas and super markets while allowing us to relax in the resort atmosphere. We plan to return soon.

Wonderful relaxing holiday at The Townhouse !
We have just returned from The Townhouse after a two week holiday and wish we were still there !! we had the most wonderful time, the apartment was just gorgeous, beautifully decorated, spotless and with a fab roof terrace with stunning views.Rosemary the housekeeper took us to the apartment when we arrived in Makrigialos and had a welcome hamper for us, nothing was too much trouble for her. Bayview is a lovely complex, kept to a very high standard by Chris and Anja who were always on hand if you needed any information or advice. Our two teenagers spent hours in the swimming pools and even though we went in July & August the pools and the sunbeds were never that busy, bliss !! We had a car for the two weeks which you need. Its a two hour drive from the airport to Makrigialos, which we knew and we also enjoyed travelling to Elounda where the children enjoyed the watersports, lovely restaurants and shops, we went onto Plaka which is beautiful and got a boat to Spinalonga which is a must especially if you have read The Island ! we enjoyed Agios Nikolaus which has a lovely atmoshere in the evenings and and also the more local town Sittia. Our favourite restaurant in Makrigialos was the Taverna on Diaskari beach, a beautiful setting with fantastic food and lovely staff,Dragons Cave was another favourite, too many to choose from ! I would highly recommend The Townhouse and cant wait to return one day ! Many thanks Julie & Steve for sharing your lovely apartment , Sharon & Steve

Beautiful place ,outstanding views,very relaxing
We have just returned from The Townhouse , where we had a lovely chilled holiday . The accommodation is very clean, well equipped and furnished to an extremely high standard, with beautiful views from every balcony and rooftop. The DVD collection was a plus for 2 teens and a 21 year old ,on the few times we stayed in to eat , as was the aircon The 2 pools are well maintained and on more than one occasion , we had the smaller one to ourselves, great to come back to after a day trip ! Chris & Anja , based on site at Bayview ,were happy to help with any queries and we had warm bread & croissants delivered many mornings . Rosemary was also lovely , and checked on a couple of occasions ,that everything was ok for us. A car is a must as Bayview ,even if you just intend on staying in the local area, but you can get most of your daily requirements in Makrigialos . The bakery /coffee shop is an essential stop , which is where the bread /croissants come from,and so much more , the ice- cream being a delight . We were known to make a couple of visits a day some days ! Make a stop at the little house on the road just before Bayview , the family are lovely and very generous with their organic produce, a watermelon was picked specially. Diaskari beach ( sign for Green Beach ) is great for being fairly quiet, beds and shade to rent and a lovely taverna to provide a lazy lunch. There are a variety of restaurants to choose from in the village and along the waterfront , including fish , cretan dishes and pizzas from the pizza oven. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday ,away from the crowds , in first class accommodation , then this is the place for you , we will certainly be returning.

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Julie Philpot

Host profile image
My husband Steve and I live in the UK and have two daughters in their twenties. We own and run two businesses, one in the construction industry, and another in interior design. Our aim for the Townhouse has always and will always be to offer the sort of superior standard of rental accomodation that we look for ourselves whenever we travel. We take great pride in what we offer to our clients and we strive to keep the property to the highest possible standard. The house is very much our house in Makrigialos as well as a property available for rent, which is why it has been designed to be individual in it's decor and not a generic rental property.

Why they chose this property

The reasons we chose to buy the Townhouse are simply that Makrigialos is a truly magical place; the views from our lounge, bedroom, balconies and roof terrace are just unbelievable; and the combination of style and available amenities offered us everything we wanted for ourselves and our guests.

What makes this property unique

The Townhouse is a unique property at Lagada Resort. It is one of only two similar properties that have private roof terraces, it is the only one of it's type that is a corner property, and it is only the frontline properties that have the views to the sea and mountains from the living and bedroom areas. The house is individually designed and furnished to a very high bespoke standard. The house has independent air conditioning in all rooms, which not all properties even at Bayview will have. There is a private wifi internet connection in our house, and you are able to stream TV content should you wish.
