Beautiful environment!
My boyfriend and I stayed there for a week this september. I LOVED the flowers and the Olive Trees, it was so beautiful! We lived in a 1-room apartment with 2 beds. There was a couch, a small dinner table and 2 chairs. The kitchen was small but functional with a kettle, an electric 2-spot stove, a fridge and glasses, plates etc. The bathroom was fine. The wi-fi was free but not stabil all the time, the AC was also free and worked well but was a bit noisy. We lived on the 2nd floor and therefore had a balcony which was furnished with 2 plastic chairs and a small plastic table, also there was a string on which you could dry your clothes.
Everyday the cleaners came to empty the rubbish-bin in the bathroom and every other day they came to clean the apartment, sweep and wash the floor, change the sheets and towels, empty the trashcans and clean the bathroom. Its all clean and nice.
We ordered breakfast for the entire stay and its an okay breakfast buffet. Its more of a continental breakfast than a brunch-inspired breakfast, which we would have preferred, but it is good.
There is the greatest and loveliest beach aprox. 100m from the hotel - no stones, no seaweed or Algeas and no jellyfish or crabs. I absolutely loved it and I never liked any beach before. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant, but walk 5min. down the street and there's a beach promenade loaded with good restaurants - we really liked "Faros".
Makrigialos has some souvenir shops, but if you want to go shopping I can suggest Agios Nikolaos, which is easy to go by bus.
I would like to go back to Villea Village some day, the staff is polite and very helpful.

Villea Village is a perfect place to stay if you like peace and quiet. We've just had a fantastic holiday there. Flowering bougainvillea is everywhere in the resort which is just across the road from the beach, and convenient for shops and lots of good restaurants.
The staff are friendly and efficient and Vasilis the owner knowledgeable and helpful.The pool is 2.8M deep at the deep end, large and clean as is the lounge if you really want to stay inside, with plenty of books and games. There's a barbeque once a week if it's not windy, and a quiz night which is relaxed and great fun.
The rooms, although not all modernised, are clean and comfortable with ice-box fridge, hob, sandwich grill, kettle and coffee filter; not machine. Bring filter papers if you want to make coffee. The rooms are air-conditioned, although ours wasn't terribly efficient. Each room has a good sized balcony or garden.
RCI lists the wi-fi as dial-up but this is incorrect; it's modern fast broadband for which there's a small charge, as there is for the safe. The village of Makri Gialos is small, friendly and quiet, with a great classical music festival at the end of June, held in wonderful settings. It's ideally located for hiking in many of the nearby spectacular gorges.
I cannot recommend VilleaVillage highly enough.
