Home away from home

This villa is really as nice as on the pictures, or even nicer! Most wonderful views from all different terraces, large pool, great climate control in the house. Everything you could think of is in the kitchen, beach and pool towels provided. Nice beds, lots of privacy and space. On top the nicest host you could think of. Bärbel really made us feel welcome.

This villa was great!

Normally, we always take day trips on vacation, but at Villa Malo we were so relaxed that we didn't feel the need to go anywhere. Everything we needed was there – supermarkets and restaurants in the beautiful village of Pitsidia are easily reachable on foot – the area was very laid-back, and even though we were here in mid-July, there were no crowds or waiting times for tables in restaurants. My teenagers and young adults found the pool and facilities perfect and really enjoyed swimming late at night and sitting outside chatting until late. Barbel was wonderful and super accommodating and very helpful. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the beautiful house.

Beautiful villa with very nice care.

We had a wonderful two weeks in Villa Malo.

It is very tastefully but also functionally furnished, cozy, and everything was perfectly clean.

The views through the large windows as well as from various terraces of snow-covered mountains and the sea delighted us anew every day.

The villa is located on the edge of the village of Pitsidia. Several taverns as well as a small, well-equipped supermarket can be reached in a few minutes on foot. To the sea, it is just under 2km through beautiful meadows.

Throughout our stay, we felt very well cared for by our nice and attentive hostess Bärbel. She was always approachable, had helpful tips, took care of everything, and even left us a basket with egg decorations for Easter.

In short, it was an all-around pleasant stay and we would love to come back!

Amazing views

A fantastic villa with the most amazing views. We had a great time, the villa was very clean with ample of space for our family of six. The pool area was gorgeous with plenty of sun loungers and also a table and chairs. There were several terraces to choose from as well. The villa is about a five minute walk from the nearest supermarket and 10 minutes to the village centre which has various restaurants, bars and shops. Barbel and her son Fanis were very welcoming and easy to get hold of. Overall a great Villa in an lovely location, would definitely recommend.

Amazing week

We had an amazing week at the Villa with 3 generations of our family, 6 adults and one toddler. There was plenty of space for us all and plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils. The Villa really is a home from home.
You can manage without a car as there is a supermarket 10 min walk away and a few restaurants in the village.
The Villa has an amazing view, and we experienced stunning sunsets looking out to the sea.

We had an amazing 5 nights here,

Bärbel was amazing hosting and went above and beyond helping us to get there and to settle in! The set up is great and our 4 kids loved the large pool. Lots of lovely beaches nearby and good choice of large villages nearby with Taverna’s but also nice staying at the villa with lots of different areas to eat with the family. We will definitely be back

Place of well-being

We felt very comfortable in the house and the outdoor area. You like to stay there and enjoy the interior, the beautiful view, and the pool. The surroundings have a lot to offer, trips by car in all directions are easy to reach and not far away. The contact with Bärbel was very friendly and helpful, just right. We recommend the house 100% further.

Great house in a great location!

We spent 11 days in this house and enjoyed every day of it. Due to the location on the slope, you have the sun from morning to evening - if it is shining, which unfortunately was not always the case for us at Easter. The unobstructed view over the sea offered us spectacular sunsets almost every evening and at the same time a view of Psiloritis, still covered in snow and over 2,400 metres high - this combination is certainly unique.
The house itself is definitely to be recommended. You notice in all areas that the house is often used by the owners themselves - from A for equipment to Z for central heating, everything was tip-top.
And last but not least, the on-site support by Bärbel was simply great - from the reception with fresh fruit to the departure.

Ein sehr schönes Haus, modern und geschmackvoll

The Villa Malo is a wonderful place to relax and explore southern Crete. We stayed there with friends, and everyone had the opportunity to retreat if they wanted. The pool was invaluable this time of year and is a pleasant size. The view, sunsets - AMAZING! And what makes the stay perfect is Bärbel, the German property manager. Very sympathetic, incredibly helpful, open to all questions, always reachable and relaxed, humorous, and very friendly. During my stay, I had an infection, had to go to the doctor and the lab - without Bärbel, it would have been simply tiresome and more exhausting than it already was. If I had a house there, I would hire Bärbel immediately. However, we would book Villa Malo again right away.

Pure relaxation

The large modern house is perfectly and practically equipped. There are terraces in all directions, so you can always find a spot sheltered from the wind. The view of the sea and mountains (covered in snow at our time) is sensational!
The surroundings are quiet and rural, you can occasionally hear the roosters crowing.
You can go on many nice excursions, it is only a short drive down to the beaches.
Bärbel's care is very uncomplicated and extremely pleasant. She is ready with tips and advice.
We had a wonderful holiday!

A great house in a great location.

The house is simply great in terms of equipment, size, and layout of the rooms and terraces. It has the latest equipment, ranging from stove and microwave to a clothes dryer. Not to mention the large, heatable pool with a children's area. The furnishings are modern and in a tasteful design. The manager, Mrs. Lohmann, is very friendly, always approachable, reachable, and helpful. It was a lovely 14 days.

Family vacation in Crete

The Villa Malo is beautifully located on a hill, offering stunning views of the sea and mountains in all directions. Surrounding the house are a variety of tastefully furnished terraces and shaded outdoor seating areas. In particular, the view from the large main terrace during the evening aperitif overlooking the sea provides impressive sunsets.

Even at full capacity, the clever room layout of the house has proven to be successful. The high-quality and tasteful equipment and furnishings suggest that the owners also enjoy using the house themselves - we felt very comfortable there. The on-site service was also very friendly and worked well, and everything was promptly taken care of to our complete satisfaction.

Crete in Winter

The Villa Malo is located on the quiet outskirts of Pitsidia with a very beautiful view of the sea and the surrounding landscape. Within a 5-minute walk, you are in the town and about 25 minutes from the sea. We went on several hikes directly from the villa. The surroundings are beautifully green at this time of year with very pleasant temperatures. The villa is tastefully furnished and the kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed the winter sun on several terraces. We didn't actually use the pool, but it's a great size for swimming. Bärbel took great care of us and is always available for questions. Thanks for that, we had a wonderful week. P+D

Tolles Haus

We stayed here for 9 nights. The house is beautifully located with a great view. The furnishings are super modern and the house very clean and huge. We were welcomed on site, and the manager made sure we were always satisfied. She organized the car rental for us, which was perfect. The pool is the absolute highlight of the house, our daughter still raves about it. The nearest supermarket is 2 minutes away (by car) and Komos Beach is about 2 km away. The house had everything a vacation rental needs. Bärbel gave us a folder with information about sights, hikes, excursions, and beaches, which was very helpful. We were very satisfied and would come back anytime!
