Find mountain rentals near Malia Beach

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.

The villa itself was just perfect, all amenities and the check-in with Giannis was straight forward. Some places of the Villa are a bit tired but the ability to log onto Netfiix or jump in the private pool made it a simply perfect place to spend time with friends. All the restaurants are in walking distance, however we preferred the ones along the beach seemed to be less ‘Brits abroad’ and more contemporary. For quick and easy break we would recommend

Manos is the perfect host. The house is impeccable and comfortable with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The apartment was home from home which we really appreciated. Everything you need was there. The village and beach was beautiful and plenty of restaurants to choose from. And a big thank you to the family for making us so welcome.

So many good things to say about Villa Orama. Clean, modern and nicely furnished. The pool is massive and the outside lounge area was perfect. Lots of seating options. Very close to the villages of Piskopiano and Koutoulafari, easily within walking distance. Local shop 2 minutes walk away. The gym was an added bonus. Our host Elena was so helpful and friendly. Sad to leave!

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.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by Georgios and Lena. They treated us with cake and wine on arrival, and with bowls of fruit and other lovely gifts throughout our stay. The property was just as we had hoped, the location was perfect for us - a pretty quiet area with the sea at the end of the drive. Our hosts were so helpful with their hints and tips on where to go and when. We would definitely recommend this place.
