Mala Villa - Mala Villa

We stayed at Mala Villa with my family for over a week. Our maisonette was gorgeous, spacious quiet, spotlessly clean with some amazing views. The location is in the the middle of nature where you can experience the Crete in a very different way. ,If you like to be away from the crowds this is the place for you.

FANTASTIC ACCOMMODATION!!! Its located far from everything, but that's what we loved about this place. Great service, staff and incredible food. A one bedroom flat, with a kitchenette, sofa area, super comfy bed, indoor Jacuzzi tub and a perfect little balcony with a view of the mountains, ocean and the tiny village.

Getting to Malles can be tricky as the roads are small, but all the signs are there to help you get to this lovely village, on top the view is breathtaking and Mala Villa is the perfect place to stay and rest, the rooms are big and confortable and you can enjoy a true Cretan cousine! 15 min drive to the beaches down the hill, beautifull place !

A lovely little hotel in a small village in the mountains, the place oozes hospitality. Clean rooms with up to date facilities and good linens in a traditional house. The view of mountains, ravine,leading to the sea is spectacular and worth the drive in itself. Don't ignore the restaurant. It has an accreditation for serving traditional Cretan food that is well deserved. You couldn't get better pilafi anywhere and the complementary desserts were homemade and astounding. The wine selection is small but good. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay away from the crowd. Up in the mountains, in a small cretan village. The host Niko is an olive oil master and really nice and funny person . The flat is well decorated and comfortable. The restaurant is the best with affordable prices. Would definitely come back. Not for the people who like all-included hotels..

Stayed there 2 nights. Very comfy and pretty room in very good state. Owner is friendly and has a taverna downstairs where you can get all the delicious Greek meals you like. It was an excellent place to finish our holiday in Crete. Lots of views on nature very restful and relaxing. It's not far from the sea either so quite good. To be recommended.

We have stayed 2 nights in Villa Mala , and the experience has been fantastic. Comfortable rooms. Friendly, close and careful customer service. Very good breakfast and dinner. Authentic cretan food. Thanks Niko

The Villa Mala is tucked away in a quiet mountain village facing down to the brilliant blue sea. The mountains rise behind and to either side, enclosing the region in the magnificent and rugged landscape. The steep terrain lifts the Villa above the buildings before it and endows it's balconies with views over the Mediterranean jewel that is Crete, set into the band of blue sea. Here, the patio of the taverna attached to the Villa is, on a summer's evening, the tranquil gathering place for drinks, food, and conversation for both traveller and townsfolk alike. The rooms are decorated and furnished so as to be both comfortable and tasteful, and above all, they are clean. The upper apartments have sitting balconies which provide the aforementioned views over the beautiful island. The room I occupied was also graced with a kitchenette, dining, and living areas. Nikos, the innkeeper, was affable and the service of the Villa and the taverna, for they are the same, is well run. The food of the taverna is delicious and served with the sincerity of Cretan hospitality. Both dinner and breakfast were relaxing and did not lack for flavorful dishes and good drink. When next I return this corner of the wild mountains I hope to stay at the Villa Mala again.
