Offering a well-tended garden and a bar, Blue Sky Apartments is located in Mália. The nerarest beach is at 300 metres. Heraklio Town is 30 km from the property. Guests enjoy free access to the outdoor pool of a nearby property.

Our stay at Malia wouldn't be so pleasant and comfortable if not for this apart hotel. It is very cozy, comfortable, close to everything and yet quite isolated and quiet to consider the crazy nights of Malia. Malia is just wonderful, very very safe and the property itself. You feel like you r home. Of course people are what we liked most: Giannis, Nikos, Natalya, thanks for everything, your care and support, your quick feedback and ready to solve nay issue. And of course very useful advice that they can give regarding the village, transportation, timings etc. The apartment has a very functional kitchen with everything necessary for 4 people.

Dimamiel Malia Inn is situated in Malia, 200 metres from the beach, and 450 metres from the busy centre. Facilities include a swimming pool with attached hot tub and children’s pool.

Accommodation at Dimamiel Malia Inn comes with a kitchenette with fridge. The functional rooms are furnished in typical island style. All units are air conditioned and include a TV.

The beds are perfect I'm sensitive when it comes to beds but from the first night I slept like a "princess" Small kitchen with everything you need to make yourself a good breakfast or even a dinner. Comfortable bathroom. Nice outdoor space to eat. We were on the ground floor level so we could walk to the swimming pool from our terras. It was raised so you also had your privacy. The rooms are not sound-proof, we had a room with a door to the neighboring room perfect for a family with kids but we could hear the neighbors, they were not loud and slept at the same hours, so not disturbing. But a good to know and maybe a pro for family's with kids. The supermarket at the street is run by the same family and literly has everything you need! We do not drink coffee but they have a a complete barista set up.

    Villa Monte Mare is a lovely place surrounded by a beautiful garden. I really enjoyed swimming in the pool and looking at the rocks and moutains above the hotel. There is also a nice view on the sea from balconies. I appreciate that it is quiet place in contrast to the noisy center of Malia. All the staff, especially Elektra and a British lady at the bar, are very nice and helpful. Their breakfasts and dinners are fresh and tasty, they also have very good wines.

    Very nice host, nice and clean pool, fully equipped house, even though some things might be a bit older already. But one has everything needed. The location is OK. It is like 1km from a supermarket. Also a lot of bars and clubs are in that area. Only the way down to the city and up to the villa can be a bit annoying. We took mostly a taxi which is like 10 eur. All in all I would recommend that villa.

    Very good selection of food. Waiting staff efficient and friendly. Beautiful location with exceptional views. We loved the Villa with a private pool - the living kitchen dining area was exceptional and the bedroom upstairs gave a level of privacy. Complimentary fruit basket and water was a nice touch. The food and drink prices were good too.
