This is a family run hotel, that surely has the best views in town. It is also a very quiet and relaxing place, and the room amenities make it suitable for longer and family self-catering stays (06/08 EP).

It is made of clusters of maisonette style buildings, a blend of modern and traditional architecture, nesting in various levels into the face of a cliff overlooking the sea above Agia Pelagia. The swimming pool area affords the best views.

The rooms are medium to large, simply but tastefully furnished with open plan bedrooms and living/lounge areas with kitchenette. All have balconies overlooking the sea below or the majestic cliffs, and all have air conditioning (at an extra charge) and refrigerator.

The small restaurant and bar offers a daily menu of proper Cretan cuisine, made of local ingredients. The views are amazing.

The lobby area is also part of the owner's living area. The guests are first welcomed like old friends into their house. The hotel also has a small shop where guests can purchase basic everyday items and various snacks.

Perched on a cliff above the quiet waters of Lygaria bay, Villa Bellevue has commanding views of Agia Pelagia and the seemingly endless Aegean sea. The village is about 15 minutes away on foot, and the nearest beach a brief and easy 5 minutes down.
