Is there any form of room or villa heating guests can control individually during colder seasons?

A standard taxi for 1–4 passengers costs roughly €25–€35, while a taxi bus for 5–8 passengers costs about €35–€50, varying with group size, luggage and time of day; booking a taxi bus or group transport in advance is often more economical, and local providers include Taxi Botax, TBO-Texel BV, TXCab and Taxi Ruud Texel.
