“Delightful and peaceful stay.”
Tradition old Cretan house - cleverly converted. A little quirky with the bed on a mezzanine floor. Very well equipped - had its own extensive lawn down to the beech with sun loungers and parasols exclusively for the property/Properties. Ismini is a delightful lady and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable.

“Best place in Crete”
Location, cleanliness,hospitality. Sun beds included in the price on the private beach. Play area for kids,basic stuff you need for kitchen, beach towels,toiletries, hair dryer, lovely comfortable beds, we even had slippers for inside the house. Mrs Ismini is a lovely lady that waited us with grapes and fresh water. She helped us with arranging for taxi and with information about excursions and local buses. Really close to Chania airport- 30 mins drive. Taxi around 40 Euros. We stayed at the guest house,but the apartments look lovely as well. All have their own table and chairs on the terrace. All shops,restaurants,Baker,souvenirs are 5 min walk.

The property is right next to the beach. The owner was very nice, she talked to us each day. She told us some history on Kalyves. We have parked in the property as well.

Inside the property is traditionally furnished with lovely comfortable beds and a stunning view from the bedrooms.

“To be repeated.”
Everything! The location next to the beach, the beautiful garden, the lovely spacious apartment, and most of all Ismini herself who owns it! She’s a great hostess and couldn’t have been more helpful to us. Thank you Ismini.

This is a little haven right next to a private beach and yet in the middle of the village close to anything you could want. We could not have been any happier here and will definitely be back.
