Malia villas

The location of the villa is great and so close to lots of restaurants and the beach. A car is really not needed and teenagers are safe to have some independence. Not the easiest to find so a more accurate description of location would be good. Parking is tight so a smaller car better. Amazing helpful tour operator at bottom of driveway. Clean, tidy but no pool towels.

This spacious property has breathtaking views of Crete and offers the opportunity to explore the nearby village while also being close to the highway. Our group enjoyed the pool area and spent a lot of time outside when we were not out exploring. Our host was welcoming and friendly and we are grateful for our experience. Would recommend for a friend’s getaway!

It was an absolute pleasure staying NiSi it has everything you need and more!!The host, Yiannis, who was fantastic, has really thought of all your requirements for a fantastic holiday!Ideally located for all the hospitality the Cretans offer with the beach, bars, restaurants and shops only a short stroll away.We would highly recommend this property

This villa is an absolute gem and so are the hosts. From the initial booking right through to our stay Martin and Helen were really friendly and helpful hosts The villa is amazing with so much space indoors and outdoors, sun and shade, it really is perfect! Location is also ideal with it being quiet and yet only 10 mins walk into Malia

We highly recommend this property. Communication from Yannis was fantastic from the start. Cleanliness was great, the location is fantastic - quiet but close to key locations. Sisi was a great spot for dinner. The pool area was probably the best we’ve had. If we return to Crete we will certainly be back to Carob Villas.

This property was amazing.

Our host Stelios, did everything he could to make our stay comfortable, he gave us a lift to and from the airport, provided food and drink, gave us tips as to where to visit and eat. The villa itself has all the amenities you could want, with a well-equipped kitchen, washing machine, convenient downstairs shower room. The outdoor area is lovely, with an outdoor kitchen/dining area, a space for sunbathing and a fantastic pool which we used every day. The location is peaceful but within easy walking distance (15 mins) of the local beach and town where there are plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. There are regular bus services that run along the coast so it is very easy to get to places like Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos without the need for a car. I have no hesitation in recommending this villa and would be happy to return in future.

This is a beautiful villa, in a fantastic location, up in the hills, looking down on the village below with superb wide ranging views of the sea and the hills and mountains behind There fantastic viewing and seating areas located all around the villa for everytime of day I'd refer to the pool as an infinity pool, once you're in, you look out to the sea beyond When you're sun bathing, yes it gets hot, but as you're up in the hills, you get a cooling breeze at times which is welcome There's loads of space all around, a fantastic music system, where you can hook up your music through a laptop which is provided, so you have your favourite music whilst your outside in the pool There's also UK TV, with every channel you can think of and want, table football upstairs Brilliant seating areas inside Brilliant kitchen with every gadget, untensil you'll ever need The owners are also fantastic, firstly in communication before we got there, arranging to meet us, so that we could follow them to the villa without getting lost, then they'd left us enough supplies, (milk, cereal, tea, coffee, orange juice, beers, wine, fruit) for us to not have to bother to go out shopping on the night we got there. There were enough supplied for a good day, meaning we could enjoy the pool the next day and then shop on the night. Plus the kitchen is fully stocked with herbs, spices, sugar, etc, the sort of things you need to cook, but never think of when you're out shopping (didn't need to it was there) There was also enough washing liquid, detergent, etc, to wash the clothes for an army, again something we didn't need to buy (we've stayed in lots of villas and never had this provided before) They also gave us great tips on where to shop, places to go, eat and drink Basically lovely people, who couldn't do enough for us - nothing was any trouble for them Milatos itself is a quiet village, there's a shop for basic supplies, but plenty of tavernas, for food and drink, and we found them all reasonably priced. The people running the tavernas were lovely,, talkative, again, couldn't do enough for us Then you have Malia a short drive away for supermarkets Milatos cave is worth a look for a couple of hours out All in all a brilliant holiday in a brilliant location. We would love to return No doubt I've missed off loads on this review, just take it that this place is brilliant (i like that word) and relax!!!
