Idéal pour un séjour en famille

Très bon accueil, établissement calme, très agréable géré par une famille d’une gentillesse exemplaire. Seul petit bémol, les équipements électriques en cuisine sont un peu vétustes notamment le réfrigérateur et la plaque de cuisson dans l’appartement loué. Une gêne vite oubliée car il est tellement bien placé qu’on s’en ait quasiment pas servi, on a préféré flâner dans les ruelles de la vieille ville de Malia le soir et profiter de ses nombreux restaurants. On a passé un très bon séjour en famille, les enfants ont adoré la piscine et le snack de l’établissement.

Belle chambre neuve et calme

Immeuble neuf équipé d'un petit coin cuisine. Propreté irréprochable et lit confortable et ferme. Une petite supérette à côté. Petit parking. Très calme. Qualité prix élevée. Service est minimum mais c'est normal. Les plages sont éloignés à 2 km mais près du centre du village.

Our apartment was roomy, and airy, good for the price.The location of the apartments was excellent, close enough to the strip of bars and the beach for a gentle stroll, but not too close to be noisy and disruptive in the night. Lots of lovely restaurants nearby, but easy enough to grab a quick affordable meal from the pool bar. The pool was clean and the flowers around well-maintained. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. George, Elias and Christina were very friendly, provided great service and helpful recommendations! Ask them which restaurants to visit! We would definitely recommend staying there. We had a lovely time!

The staff were wonderful and responded promptly to any questions or concerns that we had. The pool and bar area were very nice and private. The location of the apartment was very good for us. It was close to restaurants, the old town, market, bakery and center of town. It was maybe a 15- 20 minute walk to the beach, that was not an issue for us. The apartment is centrally located to many attractions and archeological sites.

Wahnsinnig freundlich

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich empfehlenswert. Die Famlie sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Und von der Lage auch optimal, wenn man nicht zwingend am Strand sein muss. Direkt nehmen an ein großer Supermarkt und wer feiern möchte, erreicht die Partymeile mit fünf Minuten Fußmarsch. Aber auch in der Altstadt ist es wunderschön und noch typisch griechisch.
