Villa holiday rentals in Malia

We had a great time at Villa Adagio in Vrachasi. Great base to visit other places like Agios Nikolaos to find some sunshine and beautiful surroundings during the first few days of our stay before enjoying the heated pool at the weekend. In Vrachasi you’ll find some really good tavernas with the nicest people. Charis, George and Sofia were very attentive and responsive throughout our stay catering for all our needs. Simply excellent hosts!

Very nice new villa, with a great pool area. An outdoor kitchen with play area for the children is also available in the lower part of the complex. Good opportunity for activities. Not far to the beach.

Andreas is an amazing host. Responded to all messages within the hour. Amazing private location just a 30 min taxi from Heraklion. Received a full villa tour on arrival with a hamper basket.

We have just had the most gorgeous family holiday at Villa Belle Helene . It is the perfect villa equipped to the highest standards both inside and out and exceeded all our expectations. Inside is spacious and all the rooms have excellent air conditioning which was very welcome in the heat. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor areas, especially the pool and jacuzzi which were perfect to cool down in the heat and to enjoy. The sheltered area outside the lounge is perfect for eating and BBQs and the raised outdoor seating area with TV provides the opportunity to unwind in an evening. It is 10 mins walk up to Old Hersonnissus which has a lovely square with Tavernas and bars. Hiring a car is worthwhile to explore the island further but not essential as its easy to book taxis. Eleni and her family are absolutely lovely, they could not be more helpful and made us so welcome. We would absolutely recommend this villa and would love to stay again if we go back to Crete.

One of the best stays in airbnb over the years. Perfect place for staying with kids, lots of toys and everything. Our 3 year old son was really enjoyed. Giannis and Mara were really helpful about everything. They booked us transfer from airport for late night arrival and booked us a rental car for the next morning which we picked up at the door of the villa! This was one of the easiest and convenient option. I left my sunglasses at the rental car, they found it and will send me by shipping. Best hosts and best place to stay! Hope to meet you again.

We had a very nice stay, the house was so lovely, with everything provided even a cleaning service. Restaurants and beach clubs can be reach by foot (approximately 10 min walk). There is a very nice traditional village near the house with excellent restaurants (approximately 15 min walk). But most of all thank you very much Stefani for everything you were so nice and helpful, really many thanks everything was perfect thanks to you 🙏🏼 ☺️

We loved staying at Petros's place. The location is picture perfect and completely serene, coupled with the stunning views - perfect getaway gem. The villa is beautifully designed with lots of places to explore and hang out in. Petros is very accommodating and all around helpful from assisting us in setting up the outdoor speakers to offering to make restaurant reservations on our behalf. We had an absolutely amazing time and hope to stay at the villa again when we come back to Crete. Highly recommend!

Overall really good, clean house and easy to communicate with the host. The only two drawbacks were the kitchen equipment, which was a bit sparse, and the fact that there were several times where people came by unannounced to clean the pool or do gardening work.

Great house with good facilities. We have enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. We got in on a Sunday; the shops are then closed. Giorgos has stocked the fridge with some drinks and appetizers. That was very handy. Furthermore, the village has several restaurants where you can eat within walking distance. Unfortunately, we did not have nice weather every day and wanted to do some indoor activities in the house. The TV in the living room didn't work. Fortunately, this was solved by Giorgos. Netflix is on the TV, but you can only use if you have your own account. We didn't get this right. We did a lot of hikes in the area. Fantastically beautiful area and challenging walks. The gym was also a nice to have at the house and our boys especially used it a lot. Giorgos is a lovely host who goes above and beyond to make guests feel at ease and help when you have a question. He picks it up quickly.

We had such a wonderful stay at Villa Bella Elena! The house is stunning, incredibly clean and with all the facilities you could need for a large group holiday. The hosts were incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive. They assisted with collecting and delivering a food shop for us so it was at the villa upon arrival, were flexible with check-in and check-out and also shared the taxi company and number they work with who were also great. We loved our stay and would highly recommend! Would absolutely stay again!

We had a wonderful 5-day vacation at the villa. The property was stunning! It was tastefully designed, offering full privacy, and was super clean. We used the brick oven to make pizza and also enjoyed the pool. Everything was just as it looked in the pictures, and the villa was equipped with everything we needed. Pandelis, the owner, was very responsive to all of our requests and questions. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic villa, we couldnt have asked for more. The house is amazing and immaculate with everything you could need. Elina was the perfect host and went above and beyond and was proactive with extra information and tips. We couldnt have asked for a more welcoming and warm host. 5 star house with a 5 star host. we will be back.

We had a wonderful holiday. The villa is lovely and was perfect for a big family. Audrey is a great host who was so helpful throughout but especially with the challenges of the late arrival and checkout. Location is great and facilities were also great and exceeded expectations. A special mention for Wayne (the handyman), he took care of the garden, pool etc and is a bit of a legend👏. We would definitely look to book here again.

Giorgos was a great host. Flexible with our demands and very responsive whenever we had any issues. For example, we had a hot water problem, which he resolved quickly after we informed him. The villa is very beautiful with a 360 view of Heraklion and the surrounding area. It has a great living room space for social gatherings, outside tables for dining and a grill. The kitchen was also well equipped with a large fridge+freezer, dish washer, microwave oven and gas hobs. The gym was well equipped and the swimming pool water was very clean. There was a washing machine with a lot of drying space. Several of the rooms have private bathrooms. The villa was not easily reachable by foot but that is the case for most places on Crete. It had however plenty of parking space and remotely operated gates. We didn't try the jacuzzi so can't comment on that and the piano was locked. Overall our stay was amazing, we're very happy and would recommend Giorgos as a host :)

We really enjoyed our stay in Thomais´resort. Thomais did everything to make us feel welcome and welcomed us with homemade cooking and wine. Located on the mountain top the distance to shopping and restaurants is several kilometers, but excellent taxi service solved this so we dropped our plans to rent a car.

Giorgos villa is amazing and just as good if not better than the pictures. He is super helpful and nothing is too much bother. Anything you want or needed he would sort. Replies promptly and super friendly. Awesome place to stay with family or friends. The villas facilities are great, and has everything you need. Close to a supermarket, restaurants and the private beach with it's own sunloungers which is brilliant. Couldn't fault it from beginning to end. Thank you.

We stayed a week in june in this amazing villa. This modern villa has a beautiful view from the balcony. The villa is located in a calm village, with many good restaurants with walking distance. Also a shops is located near the villa. The villa has a big private parkingspace, which made it easy to explore the island by car.

We had a wonderful holiday at the beautiful Villa Cristina! The view is unforgettable, sunrise is especially magical! The Villa has a tranquil setting in the hillside but there is a lovely little seaside village nearby. Liza was very responsive to any requests and helpful with recommendations. We would highly recommend!

Lovely accommodation! Peaceful and cozy!

Great place, the swimming pool is lovely, you get views to the mountains from the front and to the sea from the back which is really cool. The host has left some local rakia for us and fruits which was a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome, overall we had a nice stay here and would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic time. The villa is stunning and had just been freshly renovated. Everything about it is designed to maximize the beautiful views, the airflow, peace and tranquility. The hosts were communicative, kind and generous with flexible check-in and out. The fantastic pool area, stonework, bathrooms, kitchen, linens, sauna/steamroom, washer & dryer, game room -- all were top quality. This was easily the most beautiful AirBnb we have ever stayed in. It was a good home base for exploring Crete. We were also happy to save one day for relaxing at the villa. We were only a family of four, and the villa could have easily held twice as many. Would love to return one day. Made wonderful memories here.

I can’t put into words how amazing this villa and host was. The host went out of their way to help us get taxis when needed , gave us a late check out due to our late flight . The villa and pool were exactly like the photos. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will defiantly be visiting this place again.

The house is beautiful (just like the photos) and the pool is awesome — it’s heated just enough to make it enjoyable all day. The space was perfect for my party of 12, plenty of space for everyone. What really makes this place stand out is Celine, who meets guests on arrival. We had a health emergency when we arrived, and Celine was just incredible — driving us to a clinic, helping us get care at the hospital when we had to go there, checking in with us about our child’s health everyday. We are eternally grateful for her!

We just loved everything about this airbnb!!!!! The house was AMAZING, incredible views, incredible features, we went to the pool, did barbecue, breakast with ocean view, everything and more we expected! Konstations is THE BEST host we ever got!! Not only he was hiper reactive, attentious ( he made sure to got us on the airport so we arrive well, his mom cooked us food because they would imagine we would arrive late and hungry), incredibly generous and nice!! We have many tips and support during the full trip ! Everything and more that we expected! Thank you again
