Gorgeous hotel with wonderful staff. I don’t think they’ve marketed it very much yet (or else the gays aren’t as keen on Crete) because we were the only gays staying there. Full of straight couples and lots of straight PDA at the pool.. strange for an Axel Hotel. As for the location, it’s about three or four hours drive from the best attractions of the island - all much farther west. The AC unit did leak onto our faces as we slept, so we had to stop using it.

Nice, pleasant stay

Nice hotel with great location. Very positive stay. Though: Cleaning of the pool could be improved and sensors in windows, allowing us to operate the aircon did not work.

It was an amazing stay, the people made my week at the hotel one of the best moments of my long trip this summer. All the staff were very friendly, familiar and attentive to my needs. A shout out to Maria, Giorgia and Loukas: some of the best staff I have ever met.

Lovely adults only hotel with decent spread of food for breakfast and dinners. The pool was lovely and my partner had a massage which he said was firm. The hotel is in a good location with a nice view of the town and the sea. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. We were very comfortable and had a great time!

A true Cretan Gem

Villaggio hotel is one of the nicest I’ve stayed in at hersonissos. The staff was excellent. So friendly and welcoming. The room had a very modern interior and the shower was excellent. Fantastic choice at breakfast and the pool and bar area is a really nice place to relax. We will definitely be revisiting this little Cretan gem.

The hotel is beautiful from the outside , the executive room is not bad but not 4 stars. The staff 5/5 , very accommodating, very helpful, very friendly. I can’t find one negative criticism about the staff. The room needs upgrading, still using physical clasic key to open and lock the door. I didn’t like the furniture for 4 stars hotel. The small shampoo and shower he’ll bottle were less than convenient to use. No no toothpaste (got my electric toothbrush) . Spacious shower , spacious balcony. Only news tv channel ( that’s bad rating as I don’t watch news ) relatively small swimming pool but big enough sunbathing area. Roof place for breakfast and dinner. And I’ve heard that the owner didn’t pay the staff for 1-2 months. That’s an area for dinner in the vicinity , I only liked one ,the rest weren’t at my standard nor like. Overall I would rate the experience 3.5 the hotel and 5/5 for the staff .

La struttura è veramente carina, tuttavia il servizio molto minimalista, la cura e l'attenzione al particolare non adeguata a un 4 stelle. La colazione e la cena in generale non sono male ma mancano un po' di varietà. Da segnalare che nella cena della mezza pensione le bevande sono escluse. La pulizia può sicuramente migliorare!!

Hôtel moderne dans l'ensemble car récent, bonne proximité avec vieille ville et commerces. Bonne literie et personne sympathique dans l'ensemble. Néanmoins un bémol sur le ménage, évacuation de la douche, l'autoroute très proche de l'hôtel... Donc forcément bruyant. Travaux tous les matins à partir de 8h00 donc repos gâché. Le buffet au dîner est peu varié, les desserts sont qq fruits et des gâteaux sans intérêt. Le chef est très gentil et doit certainement composé un menu pour un tarif très bas. Cela ressemble à de la restauration collective ou cantine. Petit déjeuner correct.

Wir waren 8 Nächte da, das Personal war unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend, die Kommunikation war auch top - englisch von allen Mitarbeitern dort war 1A! Das Hotel an sich ist wunderschön und super modern, sehr sauber und hygienisch. Zwei Straßen unter dem Hotel ist eine wunderschöne Ecke mit Restaurants, 20 Minuten von dem Hotel entfernt der Flughafen Heraklion (Taxifahrt kostet 45€). Alles in einem würden wir jedem das Villagio empfehlen, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden wieder kommen! ❤️

Die Lage u die Aussicht v Frühstücksraum/Restaurant ist toll. Die Zimmer sind groß, modern eingerichtet. Badezimmer ordentlich, Dusche top. Es fehlen wie oft ein paar mehr Haken für die Handtücher. Safe ist einfach zu handhaben. Zusätzliche Stühle und Kleiderbügel haben wir umgehend bekommen. Die Aussicht v unserem Zimmer wurde durch eine Bauruine getrübt.
