Villa vacation rentals in Malia

We were eight women who spent a week at Villa Rodea. Had an amazing time, the view is wonderful and we had an uncomplicated care by the Komos team. We'll be back.

Truly beautiful villa! The photos simply do not do this place justice - this wonderful ‘wow’ factor home & surroundings are gorgeous. My family felt immediately at home & relaxed. Villa was clean, well stocked with equipment & our hosts Eleni & Marinos were lovely - both on hand when required & respectful of our privacy. We received a welcome package which was very thoughtful. Filter machine meant no need for bottled water. We walked up to Old Hersonissos a couple of times & enjoyed some lovely food & a little shopping in a vibrant atmosphere. Also we went shopping down in Limenas Chersonisou. We enjoyed BBQ at our villa, eating outside during a full super moon! 🌖 The mountain, the sea view & the sunsets are absolutely stunning. The outdoor gazebo area is fantastic for chilling day or night, with cold drinks (or ice creams) immediately on hand from the outdoor fridge. A/C great for all different areas, but the breeze was just as nice sometimes in the main area. Highly recommend 😊

We had a wonderful week! The hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Vaggelis were adorable and full of thoughtful touches. They were responsive and always available and attentive, making sure we didn't miss anything. Tina, who welcomed us on the first day was also very attentive and very caring to us! As for the villa, it was perfect in every way! The listing photos match reality! I would even say it was beyond what was stated! The impeccable cleanliness, the services offered, the decoration and design of the house, not to mention this incredible view of the sea and the island of Spinalonga. I recommend these hosts and this villa! Go there without a second thought! you won't be disappointed! Thanks again 😊

A fantastic villa with a wonderful host. Emmanouil was great from booking, with a few questions we had before we arrived, to check in, during our stay and also for checking out. So pleasant and helpful. The Villa was really clean and modern, well furnished and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this villa!

Amazing stay, exactly as described on the listing. Beautiful view, very clean premises, lots of kitchen utensils, BBQ worked well. We cannot ascribe any faults to this stay, it was 10/10. Perfect for a couple stay.

What wonderful hosts these people are their attention to detail on every aspect of their property is excellent. The place is spotless, everything you need in the villa is there. Manolis and his family are very kind and helpful, do t hesitate just stay here it’s ace!

We stayed in this villa for a week, the location was great with a lovely local town just a short walk away, The villa is in a very nice quiet location and only a short drive from the capital and other towns too, Dimitrios is a great host, offered us plenty of recommendations and checked in often to make sure everything was perfect with our stay, would definitely stay with him again.

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.

We had the best time! Maria was so friendly and everything was perfect. We were even invited to eat dinner with them and had a blast. We were 14 people and we had plent of space for us all. It was clean and we even got new towels in the middle of the week which we did not expect. Would absolutely recommend staying there.

Our stay at Mama La Roosa Villa was a dream. Petros was an outstanding host who went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing stay in Agia Pelagia. The villa was stunning - it had gorgeous ocean views from every angle, beautiful landscaping, and a modern design with every amenity needed for our trip. The villa felt quiet, private, and safe. We enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. We enjoyed the pool and backyard dining area so much that we decided to skip the beach! The warm hospitality from Petros is what made the stay - he arranged reservations at the best local restaurants and wineries. We felt that we were able to truly experience Greece thanks to our stay with Petros at Mama La Roosa Villa. We wish we could stay longer and can’t wait to return. Thank you Petros for an unforgettable experience!

Very nice and clean accommodation, everything you need. We were greeted in a very friendly manner and immediately got many Greek delicacies such as wine and olives. BBQ and pool have always been cleaned. We got a lot of tips for the area and Anastasia was always available. All in all highly recommended.

We had an incredible stay at Antonios’s villa and can’t recommend it enough. The villa is even better than the pictures and with the beach across the road was the perfect location for all of us. Plenty of restaurants and things to do within walking distance. Antonios is one of the most welcoming host we’ve had on Airbnb and made us feel right at home on arrival. He couldn’t do enough for us during our stay and had some great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

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 :)

Fantastic family holiday. The communication before we went was perfect; clear to understand and always a prompt reply. On arrival into Crete we received a message to check we had landed OK and welcome us to Crete; a really sweet touch. We were met at the property with a very warm and friendly reception from the host, given a quick tour of the property and it's facilities and then left to make ourselves at home. We were very pleased to find a selection of items provided for us to have a drink and a snack on arrival. Throughout the stay Magdalena was contactable if we had any questions and also provided some helpful recommendations of places we might like to visit. The villa was so beautiful though, that we spent a lot of time just enjoying it and relaxing in the peaceful countryside. The location of the villa is fabulous, set high on the hill with mountain and sea views in all directions, yet only a short drive to the shops and beach. Would thoroughly recommend a stay at Diktamon.

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.

I have stayed at many Villas throughout the years via Airbnb, however I have never booked the same villa twice, despite staying at some outstanding locations. For the first time ever I booked this villa for 2nd consecutive year. As mentioned in last year review, the Villa is stunning, if you like peaceful and private, you wont beat this villa. The pool is unbelievable. George also listened to my feedback from 2023 on how I thought he could improve the villa and he did, with spectacular results, actually an improvement on last year. George is amazing from start to finish, always responsive, always finding solutions and explaining clearly. Highly possible I’ll return next year. You will need a car, lots of great restaurants within 15min drive, supermarket is 3min drive. Thank you George, amazing as always.

we stayed at the house for 10 days. Both the house and the pool were very pleasant. By car it is actually only a few minutes to the beach. Some houses next door have not been completed for 15 years, but otherwise we felt very comfortable. The house is well-equipped!

Ioanna was an amazing host. She was super flexible on check in and met us with a warm welcome, a delicious lunch, and recommendations on where to go for food and beach, which went to and loved all of it. The road is kind of steep to drive up but just go slow and it’s not that hard to get used to. The yard itself has absolutely breathtaking views and luxurious patio/flower garden. The pool is modern and new with great furniture. I personally like that the house has a main floor and a bottom floor with two large bedrooms. It felt like 3 separate apartments which gave us some space but easy access to communal areas such as the living room and patio. The inside is clean and is mostly updated. The kitchen is smaller but remember there is an outdoor kitchen as well. Overall, the inside was very comfortable. I did need Ioanna’s help during our stay and she was very responsive and accommodating. I would absolutely stay there again.

This was an absolutely gorgeous property. It was spacious, well-maintained, and offered beautiful views of the Aegean Sea. The pool and garden are beautiful. This property also felt private while being a short drive to the downtown area with all the shops, restaurants, and the beach. Would 100% recommend this property!

The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

One of the best places ever stayed! The villa is just 20 mins car ride from Heraklion airport and is very easy to find. The villa is exactly as shown in pictures; very clean and with all the kitchen amenities for cooking your meals as well as air-condition and TV in every room. The garden & pool areas is just beatiful and the puff sun loungers were great for our relaxing evenings by the pool (max 1.30m deep). The two bathrooms are spacious. The hosts have filled the fridge with breakfast, drinks and healthy snacks for us and there was house cleaning after 3 days of stay. The villa is secluded - so you can really disconnect and there is enough space for family / couple / group of friends as well as parking space for at least 2 cars; lastly, the villa is in walkable distance (8mins) to Analipsi village city center, the beach promenade and couple of restaurants, pharmacy and supermarkets. Host arranged for us a great van drive to airport on fair price. I will definitely stay there again!

The house was very comfortable for our family. We especially loved the pool and outdoor living area with the beautiful gardens surrounding it. Jenny is a wonderful host! The location was ideal for exploring the East end of Crete.

We had an amazing time in Villa Capri. It was absolutely spotless and had everything we could possibly need. We stayed here with 3 of our children and the villa and pool was very well maintained and safe for them. The location was fantastic. You walk out of the villa and straight into the village square, which is beautiful with lovely restaurants, bars and bakeries. Really hope to return one day. Thanks again Jackie, Rae and Jason

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is lovely with a beautiful garden and pool. There’s everything you might need in the house. Nikitas was very kind and helped us immediately whenever we had a question.
