The Old House is an absolute gem, sitting right in the middle of the beautiful and peaceful old town of Malia. It's a superbly renovated old stone building - very well equipped and super comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. The rooftop terrace and pool were a real bonus during the day. Claire greeted us on behalf of the host - she was so lovely, always on hand with tips and advice and looked after us really well.
We stayed in the last week of October but there were still plenty of things to do - all the supermarkets and most of the restaurants in the old town were open, we could have eaten in a different place every night, there was so much choice - everything is within walking distance. The food was superb and the staff in all the places we went to treated us like old friends. Although the main street is only a short walk away, the house is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of 'new' Malia town that you feel you're getting a really authentic Crete experience.
We can't recommend the Old House highly enough, we had a fabulous week. You certainly won't regret booking it for your next holiday.
