Bella Vista

“Beautiful peaceful location with the friendliest staff.”

Just came home from a ten night stay at Bella vista and loved it. Spotlessly clean rooms and a lovely pool area. Irene is the perfect host with the biggest smile and couldn't do enough for us. Vangelis behind the bar is so friendly and helpful. We'll be going back. Thank you Bella Vista.

Just returned from a lovely stay at Bella Vista. Hosts: Irene and Van the man were amazing hosts and go out of their way to make your stay as memorable as possible. Apartment: We stayed in apt 17 - apartment was authentically Greek, no frills but met our needs and provided the essentials we needed on a self catering basis. Don’t expect matching cutlery, plates etc, but hey who needs matching. Bed linen and bath towels were changed frequently. You need to bring your own beach/pool towels. Sunset from our balcony was amazing. Pool: is very deep and only a small part is shallow, however, purchases a noodle and it’s not a problem. If travelling with kids, there is a kids pool but this was not in use and not a requirement for us during our stay. Food: we ate mainly lunchtime at Bella Vista and enjoyed every meal we had. Thanks Mike. Drinks: yiamas a plenty and standard cost for Crete. Chargeable extras available: aircon /safe. Sisi town: is a 20min stroll on foot for those with no physical health difficulties from Bella Vista. We tended to walk into Sisi and get a taxi back for 7€ (just being lazy tbh). We ate in a variety of restaurants and never had a bad meal once. Give Mama Nikki at Neromilos a visit. Overall we enjoyed our stay 100%. Of course you can chose to pull out all the negatives if you wish but I don’t see any value in doing so, as there are far more positives staying at Bella Vista. If your thinking of booking a stay at Bella Vista expect no frills in your apartment, remember it is a 3* and self catering, so no different to what you’d need to supply yourself if holidaying in the UK. Open your heart to the beauty of your surroundings and engage with your fantastic hosts and you won’t go wrong. Thank you BV. Paula, Paul & Maisie xxx

We have recently returned from 2 weeks at Bella Vista....What a beautiful spot ....so pretty with the flowers and the fabulous views . Irene is a star...she was so welcoming and helpful... The food on site is good...the rooms are looked after well... We had no complaints....many steps to the top floor but so worth it for the mountain and sea views over the bay of Malia from our balcony... For those who enjoy walking you can walk on the coast path to the Malia Archaeological site and past it to Potamos beach. .a lovely walk..both places recommended... The other direction to Sissi along a straight road takes about 20 mins but if it is very hot transport may be easier as it is very exposed.... We hired a jeep for 5 days which was wonderful..we saw so many sights...Phaistos ruins....Myrtos and Ierapetra to the south...Milatos cave with it's dark history...plus day trips which can be booked from the Bella Vista... We loved our stay...made complete by Irene and the lovely staff...definitely recommended ....
