Beautiful architect's house in an exposed location
The splendid location of the very beautiful and well-planned house has thrilled us. The generous layout and the many retreat areas of different qualities, whether shady, sunny, intimate, or with a great view of the sea, have greatly contributed to our well-being and relaxation.
The house is excellently equipped, nothing is missing in the kitchen.
On colder days, we made use of the open fireplace in the house, creating a lovely atmosphere. All in all: highly recommended, we will gladly return!

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.

«Villa Malo» achieves a holiday rating of 5 (rating scale: 1 to 5) at 23 submitted reviews.
Das Haus ist bestens ausgestattet, auch in der Küche fehlt es an nichts.
Wir hatten an kälteren Tagen vom offenen Kamin im Haus Gebrauch gemacht, eine schöne Atmosphäre.
Alles in Allem: nur zu empfehlen, wir kommen gerne wieder!
Sie ist sehr geschmackvoll aber auch funktional ausgestattet, gemütlich und alles war tiptop sauber.
Die Ausblicke durch die großen Fenster aber auch von verschiedenen Terrassen auf schneebedeckte Berge und auf das Meer haben uns jeden Tag neu begeistert.
Die Villa liegt am Rand des Örtchens Pitsidia. Mehrere Tavernen aber auch ein kleiner, gut ausgestatteter Supermarkt sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Zum Meer sind es knapp 2km durche schöne Wiesen.
Über unseren ganzen Aufenthalt fühlten wir uns sehr gut von unserer netten und aufmerksamen Gastgeberin Bärbel betreut. Sie war immer ansprechbar, hatte hilfreiche Tips, hat sich um alles gekümmert und hat uns sogar zu Ostern ein Körbchen mit Eier-Anhängern hingestellt.
Kurzum, es war ein rundum schöner Aufenthalt und wir kommen gerne wieder!
Marie’s team were so helpful and professional. Highly recommend a stay at this Villa.
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.
The house is amazing with modern equipment and nice decor.
The house is surrounded by olive trees and the sea in the distance with beautiful sunsets.
The access from the airport from Heraklion requires one hour by easy roads .
You have food stores, a butcher and restaurants close to the house.
Bärbel has welcomed us very kindly , she is very available and accommodating .
Thank you again for your hospitality :)
Das Haus selbst ist unbedingt zu empfehlen. Man merkt in allen Bereichen, dass das Haus oft von den Eigentümern selbst genutzt wird - von A wie Ausstattung bis Z wie Zentralheizung war alles Tip-Top.
Und nicht zuletzt die Betreuung vor Ort durch Bärbel war einfach Klasse - vom Empfang mit frischen Früchten bis zur Abreise.
Und was den Aufenthalt perfekt macht ist Bärbel die deutsche Hausverwalterin. Sehr sympathisch, unglaublich hilfsbereit, für alle Fragen offen, immer erreichbar und das entspannt, humorvoll und sehr freundlich. Ich hatte in der Zeit eine Infektion, musste zum Arzt und ins Labor - ohne Bärbel wäre es einfach nur mühsam und noch anstrengender geworden als es eh schon war.
Hätte ich dort ein Haus, ich würde Bärbel sofort engagieren.
Doch - wir würden sofort wieder die Villa Malo buchen.
Die Umgebung ist ruhig und ländlich, man hört gelegentlich die Hähne krähen.
Man kann viele schöne Ausflüge unternehmen, zu den Stränden ist es nur eine kurze Fahrt hinunter.
Die Betreuung von Bärbel ist sehr unkompliziert und äußerst angenehm. Sie steht mit Tipps und Ratschlägen bereit.
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Urlaub!
Auch bei Vollauslastung hat sich die geschickte Raumaufteilung des Hauses bewährt. Die hochwertige und geschmackvolle Ausstattung und Möblierung lässt vermuten, dass die Eigentümer das Haus auch gern selber nutzen. - wir haben uns alles sehr wohl dort gefühlt.
Auch der Service vor Ort war sehr freundlich und hat gut funktioniert und alles wurde umgehend zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit geregelt.
die Leute waren allgemein sehr nett
werden ganz sicher die Villa nochmal mieten
freundliche Grüsse
Die Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und die Küche ist top ausgestattet. Auf mehreren Terrassen haben wir die Wintersonne genossen. Den Pool haben wir zwar nicht genutzt, aber er hat eine tolle Größe um richtig zu schwimmen.
Bärbel hat uns super betreut und ist jederzeit für Fragen erreichbar.
Danke dafür, wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche. P+D
