Facilities

The charming, small hotel in boutique style is a schauinsland-reisen original, one of Malia's best-kept secrets and the perfect expression of traditional island hospitality. The 18 modern guest rooms at Villa Sonia, spread across two buildings connected by a tropical palm garden, feature a reception area with free Wi-Fi and a satellite TV lounge, as well as the "Edelweiss" café-cocktail bar. A lovingly prepared continental breakfast is served in the morning on the shaded terrace of the cafeteria, which is open all day. In the evening, the Edelweiss Cafe becomes a relaxing lounge area where you can enjoy your drink or cocktail in a romantic atmosphere with carefully selected music in the background.
