Monthly Rentals in Ano Malaki

We were a group of 9 and we booked Villa Andreas. There are actually two properties linked through a terrace ( Villa Andreas and Villa Thomas), with two sitting rooms, two kitchens and four bathrooms! The property is newly refurbished and has lots of character features. The beds and bed linen were clean and we had plenty of towels. The jacuzzi is a nice addition - great for relaxing in the evening. Some of the details were not listed but worth mentioning - good selection of medication in the first aid box, laundry liquid supplied (15min cycle washing machine) and complimentary wine, coffee and some local products ( fruits, eggs,etc). Evi, the host, is very helpful and ready to help as she lives locally. Overall, it was a great experience- thank you! We'd like to visit again soon. LE- walking distance (50m) is a lovely taverna with the best moussaka,other tasty local dishes and good Raki. Renting a car is a must - good access to Rethymno ( seaside and shops).

We had a wonderful stay here. Rustic, with enough modern touches to make it really comfortable. The house stays cool (which is good as it got to 37.5 degrees whilst we were there!). We would recommend this place to anybody who likes to escape the busy bustle of Crete's cities and live like a true local.

Maria was a great host. The air bnb and the view is fantastic. Close to amenities. However, a car is definitely needed to get out of the village!

The space is special and historic. You feel like you were a few hundred years ago. The whole village is not directly on the sea, but is worth the distance. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get to the beach by car. You can have a good conversation with the villagers and get some things (vegetables from your own garden and cheese/feta). But it is very quiet in the evening and you can enjoy the view on the roof... a breathtaking and not forgotten vacation in an old prison or in the village structure. You don't feel like a mass tourist here, but like someone visiting Crete. Especially the anteroom and the bedroom are spacious. The kitchen is completely sufficient and the room for three children as well. The roof can be used superbly in the evening after sunset. Shopping can be done in the next village and there are no tourist prices and products. I'd love to come back .
