“Overall, the stay offered very good value for money.”
Everything was exactly as presented on the site; no unpleasant surprises. The bathroom is recently renovated and very nice, the bed is very comfortable. Cleaning was done daily, and the sheets and towels were changed every two days. The hosts were very kind (best wishes of good health to the lady!).

A clean and friendly family-run studios hotel in a relaxed summer resort. Nestled right beside the beautiful Kalamaki beach, it offers simplicity, warmth, and easy access to the sea. Perfect for a peaceful, no-fuss holiday on the Cretan coast—what more could you ask for? Special mention, Maria was such a friendly and warm host, she and her husband made the guests feel like part of the family. Definitely worth revisiting during cooler months.

“Wonderful stay and friendly hosts”
The studios were perfect for our week long stay. Spacious comfortable room with a fantastic view from our balcony of the village and hills. Towels and bedding changed regularly. A special mention for the amazing hosts and staff who go out of their way to make sure everything is ok for your stay and help with any questions. Maria and Anna were so warm, kind and friendly and we were made to feel like part of the family. Kalamaki is a beautiful resort for a relaxing holiday and I can highly recommend these studios.

“Great place for great price”
On the beach and close to restaurants, bakeries, supermarket and small shops. Room was updated, clean and good size for the price. A/C worked wonderfully. Hot water was available at all times. Friendly service by Mary and her husband and the maid, Anna. Very safe location.

“Hopefully we will come again!”
Absolutely perfect stay! Maria, the host, is such an amazing and kind woman. Room was nice and cozy. Kitchen is small, but it has everything you need. Bathroom is freshly renovated with awesome marble like tiles. Bed and pillows are extremely comfortable. Location could not be better. 20 steps to the beach, and 30m to the awesome bakery and supermarket.

“Amazing sunsets right at the beach”
The owners are very nice people, so friendly and helpful :) The location couldn't be any better: it is just next to the beautiful beach and you can hear the waves when you sleep. The beds were comfortable.
