Within walking distance from the sea, in a virgin piece of land, with the breathtaking view of Lefka Ori mountain range in the background, Carisa Maleme by the sea hotel is situated. A luxury haven in the area of Maleme Chania, in the region of Pyrgos Psilonerou, has been established to accommodate all visitors willing to indulge in an exceptional vacation experience and bask in a wide range of modern facilities, capable of satisfying the most demanding and sophisticated traveler.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Just returned from a 2 week holiday here. The hotel is located on the quieter side of the resort so perfect if like us you enjoy a relaxing time without the loud bars and too many people. The hotel is run by a family, the mother (the boss!) looking after things with her two sons on bar duties. They are all lovely people and went out of their way to look after us and did not disappoint. The room was quite spacious and had everything you need. It is a relatively small hotel unlike some of the others such as the all inclusive hotels near the seafront which frankly looked horrendous and this is the perfect place to chill out and forget about the normal day to day routine. It is situated around a 10 minute walk from the beach so if you like to go in the sea it is not a massive trek. There are a few very nice restaurants nearby all within walking distance. There is also a pretty good local bus service so if you want to have trip out without the hassle of hiring a car you can do that easily. So in summary, very nice hosts, very friendly and relaxing and would definitely recommend and return ourselves.
Great experience! Definitely recommend the place. Calm hotel ,the ideal place to relax .Friendly and helpful staff and a great cat <3
My recent visit at Carisa Maleme Hotel was fantastic ! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room and all the place was clean and well-maintained. The hotel's location is perfect ( near the beach and very close to Platanias) I highly recommend it and would happily stay here again!
Highly recommend this lovely hotel Our room was so clean and spacious with the choice of 2 balconies ideal if you want the shade or sun , air con in each room The pools where so relaxing to sunbathe around and the bar area had a good choice of cocktails , drinks and food The beach and restaurants are not far away with a bus stop outside if you want to explore near by resorts The staff are so friendly and a added touch the playful kitten We will be booking for next year for sure
Walkers/Hikers .. Look no further. The Carisa is ideally located for walkers of any standard. There are miles of flat, quiet little roads nearby, or, turn right from the front door, go 200 yds and cross the main road, and you are straight into rolling countryside with pretty little hilltop village, with plenty of tracks through the olive and orange groves. For the more energetic, the nearby peninsular has the 2395ft Tityros. You'll not get much better views in Crete. Nor will you find more more genuine hosts than Roula and Andreas, two absolutely wonderful people for whom nothing is too much trouble. Any decent walking app should show the vast majority of tracks in the area, plus the WWII battle sites and the much older Minoan sites.
