The apartment was in an excellent location. Set in beautiful gardens, we had a great patio with table, chairs, great umbrella and surrounded by beautiful flowers. A walk through the garden led you to a gate with access to a private beach. The beach was nice and quiet compared to the public beach and the apartment has loungers for the guests only. It is a great location if you like a quiet beach holiday. Ismini is a lovely lady and keeps the accommodation and gardens in lovely condition.

This is the perfect villa!! Beautiful home, terrific pool, comfortable beds, lots of seating, great bbq and the most amazing kitchen! It's up a quiet road within an olive orchard, but still close to the supermarket and a short walk to restaurants and the beach. We loved that each bedroom had an en suite and that there's a washing machine. Phillippa was a wonderful host - very knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!!

Everything was very nice. Lovely food. Lovely and very helpfull staff. They help you with everything and nothing was problem for them. Early breakfast, late dinner or they could even make you a lunch box if you were going away for all day. If we ever will be back to Kalyves we will definitely stay in this hotel again. Thanks for everything! You made our stay beautiful.

Animation program and entertainment were brilliant. The hotel is very tastefully furnished and the views of the sea are amazing. Water in the sea as well in the hotel pool is clean and warm and beds in the rooms as well at the pool and at the sea are very comfortable.

Everything. The owners Anna and Ulf were so Nice, doing everything they could to make us feel welcome. If I were to visit Kalyves again I would certainly stay here. Great value for money, a stunning view of the village and very accessible. 10/10!

Friendly hosts, welcome package Location (super market/ bus stop 1min away/ beach 3min away/ tasty food at the local restaurants) View Pool facilities Kitchen facilities Cleanliness

The sun terrace was amazing to sit and read and soak in some sunshine. The staff went above and beyond! You really need to rent a car to enjoy everything that Crete has to offer

Place to relax and enjoy holiday: everything you need is within 2-3 min walk: cafes, restaurants, bakery, souveniers, beach clothes supermarket and pharmacy. Quiet and friendly.

Beautiful studios in a great location, close to Chania. Dimitra is a very caring host and she made sure to provide us with the best Cretan experience throughout our stay

Hospitable hostess Maria, proximity to the sea, silence, nature, great yard. Largest market in the village right across the road. Great sandy beach

Perfect location next to everything you need, beach, tavernas, shops, bank. Clean, good value for money and staff really kind. We will come back.

Clean room and friendly staff. Good location with the beach and supermarket in walking distance.

We spent a couple of weeks in the Studio Apartment with Sea View (2 adults) in mid-April, and were extremely pleased with our experience. Owners Natasa and Stelios were wonderful, welcoming, and very helpful hosts. Their hospitality started with bottles of wine and raki and some fruit on our arrival, and continued through the entire stay including an invite to the Easter Day family cookout on the property. Our apartment was probably the smallest one on site, but still more than adequate for our purposes. It is an older family-owned building that has been completely refurbished into a modern facility by Natasa and Stelios over the last few years. The terrace has a nice though distant sea view and is very relaxing. Kitchen was very well equipped although necessarily a bit small; the bathroom was modern and spacious enough even for the 2-meter-tall member of our party. Plenty of hot water, including an on-demand water heater for those days the solar heating was not adequate. Bed very comfortable. Plenty of electrical outlets for charging our devices. Regular apartment cleaning and refreshing of the linens etc. Wi-fi was very good. This apartment doesn't have a washer but Natasa graciously washed a couple of loads of laundry for us in the facility's main washer. Parking behind the building is very convenient albeit a little tight, but if you're driving a larger vehicle there is plenty of parking just down the hill and across the street. We only needed heat our first night, but it worked fine and we have no reason to think the air conditioning function wouldn't work equally well. The location is also terrific. We used this as our base for exploring western Crete and it was well situated for this purpose. Also a short drive to Chania and Rethymno.

Excellent apartment with nice seaview (from both balcony and apartment). Quiet location near to the beach and cosy tavernas. Very serviceminded and flexible staff. The best bed (mattres) in Greece ever (out of more than 25).

We got a app. With 2 beds, but got could easily switch to an app. with a double bed.

Friendly family run resort with all the amenities and super helpful staff
