A beautiful house with everything needed for a great stay. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of space, and the kitchen was well equipped. Communication with the host was very pleasant — she recommended a few places we really enjoyed. She also left us some fruit and wine as a gift, which was a very nice touch.

Julia's Cottage is really well located in Kalyves. It is an easy walk to shops, a wide range of tavernas and the beach. The cottage itself was clean, tidy and nicely decorated & furnished. The communication from the host was excellent throughout and she couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended for a stay in Kalyves.

“Cozy, small, intimate with everything you need a short walk away”
There were no surprises, the place was very true to the description and photos. Perhaps slightly better actually.

“Beautifully restored old house, really close to the beach and restaurants but so quiet and peaceful”
Great location and beautifully restored old house - facilities are great with new kitchen and shower room - even has a toilet upstairs too which is handy for the 3 bedrooms. Really special place - cute and cozy. Amazingly, it was so quiet and peaceful because it is tucked away from the roads. Yet, it is close to everything too. Very convenient

Me and my family are overall very happy with our stay at Julias Cottage. It felt clean and it absolutely matched our expectations. A big plus was the communication with Yana. For example we wanted a table-lamp for my grandmother so she could read at night. And the next morning we got a table lamp. She also helped with connecting us to a Taxi we could trust. Another plus is that there is an AC in every bedroom. Very appreciated!

“Cozy Holiday at Julia's Cottage”
Aesthetic appeal likely enhanced the cottage's appearance, bringing out its natural beauty and giving it a warm, inviting look.

“Home from home in a quiet location and close to the beach and centre of Kalyves”
The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen area has everything you need for home cooking: plenty of utensils, cutlery, cups and glasses, good size saucepans, colander, cheese grater, etc and a separate oven, halogen 4 ring hob, toaster and microwave. The slimline dishwasher was lovely to have. The washing machine was very useful too. The outside area upstairs was great for having breakfast and hanging out washing and or wet swimming costumes after a day at the beach. The master bed was extremely comfortable with a firm mattress, so a good night's sleep was had. There were duvets and a bed covers, which was handy as the temperature dropped at night (October when we visited). The shower had great pressure so was like a power shower. There is a separate toilet upstairs, which is always handy! There were plenty of towels. The location is fabulous, a minute walk from the main road, but extremely quiet, meaning a restful night. A couple of minutes to the beach where we also parked. Again, a couple of minutes walk from supermarkets, bakers, restaurants and butchers. The host, Yana, is phenomenal. Fabulous communication, friendly and helpful. Any help we needed, Yana, was quick to respond. Made us feel home from home. Highly recommend a stay at Julia's Cottage
