House holiday rentals in Kalyves

We spent the best time in this cute villa! It is a beautiful and clean house just next to the wonderful beach of Kalives. Antonis was a very kind and caring host. The landscape around is stunning. Thank you for everything! We‘ve loved it and we‘ll definitely come back!

Thank you so much Michalis and Leo! You were amazing hosts. Michalis and Leo are amazing - they always respond and are there whenever you need them. The property is absolutely perfect! The views, the house and everything about this property are even better than the pictures. The outside and inside space is just incredible. Spotlessly clean and perfect for families/multiple couples to stay. The property is finished to a very high standard and has all the appliances, amenities, utensils etc you could wish for ! Lots of things to do in the area and amenities/restaurants really close by. We hope to come back next year. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

We loved our stay in the villa, it was even more beautiful than the pictures. Beautiful mountain views with the privacy we were looking for. Check in was super easy, our host gave clear instructions and was helpful whenever we needed anything. Highly recommend!!

We had an amazing time. The house was perfect and the host went above and beyond to make it a brilliant holiday. The massages we had at the house on the last morning were the perfect end to a great holiday. The place is up a hill but this was no issue for us. It is close enough for a walk into the old town and 5 mins walk to the best beaches.

What a fantastic stay! The place itself is gorgeous - even better than pictured and lots of nice details, like high quality outdoor furniture, automatic sunshades, and a well-appointed kitchen with everything you need and more. We brought our baby and it was perfect - they even provided a baby cot. The beach is a lot rockier than expected from the photos, but still really nice with the sun beds and umbrellas and you can hear the ocean from the house. The hosts were absolutely lovely, very sweet and responsive and proactive about checking in. Parking is easy with a free lot next door. The only drawback is that it’s on a very busy main street and can be quite loud at night, so I’d recommend bringing earplugs. The walk into town feels longer than anticipated with the summer heat, but there are also some very nice restaurants a 5 min walk in the other direction that are worth checking out: Taverna Galera and Prima Plora are both great!

I recently stayed at this beautiful villa in Greece, and it exceeded all my expectations! The property is stunning, with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and a fantastic pool that was perfect for cooling off during the hot days. The villa itself is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the bedrooms were cozy and inviting. I particularly loved spending time on the terrace, enjoying the serene views and the tranquil atmosphere. The location is ideal, situated in a nice, quiet area but still close to local attractions, beaches, and charming villages. It was the perfect base for exploring the beauty of Greece. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing excellent recommen

I truly recommend staying with Niko in this beautiful villa! The house is very modern, the outside area spectacular and private and the communication with Niko was clear and helpful. The accommodation works for both families and friends. The house is located around 30mins from Chania which is easy to get to by car. Can only recommend renting this villa.

Villa anasa exceeded expectations. The pictures don't do it justice, the attention to detail in the interior is impressive. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend. Gorgios was a gracious host and helpful in every way possible.

We had wonderful days with Kiriaki and Michalis. We have never been received and said goodbye to in such a nice and extremely friendly way, extraordinary and heartwarming. Michalis fried us self-caught octopus: super delicious😋, thank you. Kyriaki and Michalis were very helpful and had plenty of tips in store for beautiful beaches or other beautiful things to do in the area. House and yard were very clean and 1A prepared. In the courtyard in front of the house, you can relax on two sun loungers. The intermediate cleaning with towel changes was also great. Thank you for that and the little attentions in between. In the village itself, you can get to know the Cretan cuisine in 3 restaurants in the evening. Food is also available on site. You can always find a parking space in the village square. And to the beach in Almeryda, you can roll 4 km down the mountain, sun and bathing pleasure are guaranteed. We are flying home very well recovered!!

This place is fantastic. Two outdoor seating areas both with breathtaking views facing west so you can watch the sunset. We were there in December during Christmas and they had a nice wood burning stove to help warm the house in addition to an electric heater. There is nothing like the ambiance of a wood burning stove . They provided all of the firewood. They also had a fully stocked kitchen . It was an easy walk to town with all the restaurants. Almost all of which were closed when we went. The beaches are a walkable distance. One of the highlights was the Aradena gorge, a 30 minute drive. The trailhead is in a beautiful ancient town. The hike is technically challenging due to loose rocks. Honestly, one of my favorite things was the area. Off season, it is incredibly quiet and peaceful. I loved seeing all the goats and sheep on the hillsides. One thing to note is the bedroom is on the third floor and the bathroom is on the first floor. This was not an issue for us.

Sotiri’s is for anyone who desires an authentic Crete experience away from the commercial tourism. The place was clean, charming, and authentic with the extra treasure of Katarina’s eggs, baked goods, and vegetables. We couldn’t have asked for a more lovely hostess, in Katarina. She invited us down for coffee and her hospitality is beyond compare. With the help of Google translate, we were able to get to know each other and even met her family. We enjoyed the small village feel and the local people we met at the taverna and restaurant we frequented. Bought cat food at the little market to feed all the local cats that are regular fixtures of the island. It was such a delightful experience, we will treasure always.

The house was lovely and very convenient to get to from the airport. The surroundings were idyllic and we had a very peaceful stay here. Kostula was a brilliant host, always very responsive when we had any questions. We were supplied with basic amenities for cooking which is always a bonus as we didn't need to go straight to the shops for oil, salt, coffee, etc. There was also a homemade cake waiting for us on arrival and we were given some fresh eggs from their hens when we met Kostula and her husband! All in all it was a brilliant stay with wonderful hosts and we would love to visit again!

Amazing place near the port and the beach, very clean with all the things you need ! Mata is very nice, she gives us all the good informations we need ! Thanks a lot

The place is very spacious, quaintly decorated and offers 3 cozy bedrooms. There is a large quiet courtyard with seating and you can eat well outside. It is also possible to wash and hang laundry. We loved a basket of oranges, Easter bread, cookies, water and more! 😊 The apartment is located in a small mountain village and is a good starting point for activities (such as hikes) in the area. The coastal towns of Chania and Rhetymno can be reached in about 40 minutes. Also beautiful beaches are not far away (by car!). We felt completely comfortable. The only small criticism: Wi-Fi and internet in general were rather difficult.

We had a great time staying at Zoi and Jorge's place, Villa Amorada is picture perfect and the surrounds are stunning.

This was our first time booking through Airbnb (we've used another rental site many times before), and we were thoroughly impressed. The property was beautifully furnished to a high standard and equipped with everything a guest might need. Maria and Tomas were wonderful hosts—warm, welcoming, and always helpful. Maria responded promptly to any questions we had, which made our stay even more comfortable. Almyrida has some fantastic restaurants. Our favourite was Dimitris—we enjoyed it so much, we went back several times during our seven-day stay. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and would happily return.

Great place with a great host Thank you

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Philia. A lovely peaceful private house in the heart of the beautiful village of Gavalohori. Wonderful facilities, nice shady decks with great views of the White Mountains. The pool is amazing - you share it with the downstairs apartment, but it is super private. The local tavernas are amazing, and a nice little bakery and a couple of small convenience stores. Walking around Gavalohori is just beautiful. Angelos met us on arrival, shared his mother's home made spinach pies and of course, raki. The house was wonderfully ventilated with insect screens on all the windows - we didn't need to use the AC at all. If you are looking to escape the touristy towns, a stay at at Villa Philia in beautiful Gavalohori is a must.

Great house really beautifully and stylishly renovated. It was a joy to stay for a few days. House is right by the sea in a cool neighbourhood with bars and restaurants and a short 10 min walk to the main port of Chania. Communication with Katerina was great and she was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful location and the hosts were so helpful throughout our stay

Incredible views with peaceful surroundings. Great little village where we were able to enjoy the sun and calm atmosphere. Absolutely stunning terrace. Can’t wait to come back.

We had a wonderful stay in Sotirias house. We enjoyed the breathtaking view of the Souda Bay, the stillness, the sheeps in the Olive grove and the warm welcome. There was everything we needed – even the beach mats and the towels for the beach. You can use three terraces and there is enough place inside and outside. As already mentioned you will need a car overthere to get to the beach, to Chania etc. We loved Sotirias warm hosting with water raki and even a bag full of oranges. We fully can recommend Villa Sotiria.

One of the best villas I’ve stayed in as it felt so homely, and the outside area is gorgeous. We all loved it! Nikolaos was an amazing host and was always recommending places to visit and days out for us to try. The pool cleaner was easy to use, just put it in first thing in the morning and it will clean for around 2 hours. As well, having the robotic lawn mower mow the lawn while we were there too was a nice feature. Nikolaos was always responsive and made us feel right at home, as well as even leaving local olive oil for us to take back with us from our trip! The local taverna just at the bottom of the villa was sensational, and I would really recommend trying as much of the food off of the daily cooked menu as possible. Would stay here again!

Electra was just amazing. We met her close to the apartment and she brought us there to do the check-in in with us. She is super friendly and shared some recommendations with us. The place is as described, it has everything needed for a few days. The garden and the spot under the olive tree are beautiful to have breakfast or read. Note: you will need a car to get there, but it is just a short drive to some restaurants and supermarkets. It was a really great stay and a good location to explore the west of Crete and its beaches.
