+Beautiful place in a wonderful location, you can tell everything was well thought out! Shutout blinds in the bedroom were great for sleeping in, bed was very comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped and came with all the essentials. There were some extra nice touches like a first aid kit and even a hot water bottle. We felt very well taken care of!

+Great location but it is a bit of a hike, including up a short steep hill, if you have a car - there is no cars permitted in Matala village. Comfy bed and nice partially obstructed view.
−Lack of kitchen implements, broken toaster and difficult oven that kept switching off when I was using. Note there is no microwave. We did not have access to the satellite channels as host had not download them and we only had one English channel to watch.

“A place you’ll fall in love with from the very first moment.”
+These apartments are beautifully designed and decorated with genuine care and attention to every detail, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately feels like home. As passionate food lovers ourselves,especially when it comes to homemade pita bread and taramasalata,we were delighted to find a kitchen equipped with everything needed to prepare meals comfortably. There is also a washing machine available, which is a great convenience for longer stays. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights, and there is plenty of storage space for luggage and personal belongings. The location is simply perfect. Situated on the hillside between Matala’s main beach and the famous Red Beach, both can be reached easily on foot. From the balcony, you can enjoy glimpses of the sea and the iconic Matala caves, while the sounds of live music gently drift through the air, adding to the magical atmosphere. Yet don’t be fooled,once inside the apartment, it is wonderfully peaceful and quiet. Although only a few steps away from the vibrant heart of Matala, you can still enjoy complete relaxation and tranquility. What truly makes this place exceptional, however, is the host. H

“We are a couple with a 7 yo and stayed there for 9 days to relax after a road trip through Crete.”
+I recently stayed at Lux Cave in Malala, Crete, and had an exceptional experience. The apartment is beautifully situated close to the center of the village, offering the perfect balance between convenience and tranquility. We loved that it was not too far from the action, yet far enough to avoid any noise from the concerts when we wanted to sleep early. The view of the sea from the apartment was stunning, and everything inside felt brand new,as if we were the very first guests. The attention to detail in the design and furnishings was impressive, and it made our stay even more enjoyable. The host was incredibly generous, providing plenty of gifts upon our arrival, including food for breakfast like donuts and cake, juice, a bottle of raki, and even a painting set as a gift for my daughter. These thoughtful touches really made us feel welcome. Overall, Lux Cave provided a perfect retreat, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in Malala.
−One thing to note is that the path to the apartment is quite steep, which might be challenging for some. However, the peace and views you get once you’re there are well worth it.

“Bello ma migliorabile”
+Posizione comoda per visitare il villaggio (pur essendo fuori dal trambusto) e la Red Beach (il sentiero parte da davanti casa), pratico il terrazzino, ben esposto e con un vista (parziale) della baia
−La pressione dell’acqua in doccia è veramente poca, inoltre (ma sono gusti) essendo un appartamento non molto grosso ci sono tanti oggetti (tavolini, cuscini, soprammobili etc) che, diciamo, ingolfano un po’ lo spazio a disposizione

+Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Appartement. Superfreundliche Gastgeberin. Frühe Anreise & kostenfreie Aufbettung waren kein Problem. Bei Anreise wartete ein großer Obstkorb und gekühlte Getränke auf uns. Nach 4 Tagen wurde der Satz Hand-/Duschtücher getauscht. Die Lage ist toll: Sicht auf den Strand und die Höhlen und nur wenige Schritte bis ins Zentrum und an den Strand.
−Das Apoartement ist nur zu Fuß zu erreichen und liegt an einen steilen Betonweg in Richtung Red Beach. Man sollte gut zu Fuß sein... Leider ist der Wasserdruck der Dusche recht gering und auch die Wassertemperatur ließ Wünsche offen... allerdings war es durch die Sommertempetaturen weniger schlimm.

+Alles toll, aber Ausstattung der Küche mit Luft nach oben. Kein Nudelsieb, 1 Topf und eine Pfanne. Service bzgl. Reinigung und Check in war hervorragend!
−Ausstattung der Küche. Mit weniger als 50 € wäre das Problem gelöst.

“Un bon pied à terre pour quelques jours à Matala”
+Très bien placé dans Matala. Petite vue sur mer de la terasse. Appartement cosy, bien équipé et avec literie confortable.
−Le soleil a du mal à rentré dans l’appartement ce qui peux être un avantage en pleine été mais un désavantage en début de saison. Salle de bain pas très moderne avec pression d’eau variable. Quelque petit soucis, mais nous étions les premiers locataires de la saison, donc je pense que ça devrait s’arranger ( chasse d’eau en panne, cafetière très entartrée, pas d’eau chaude le premier matin)
