Love this place so much. Stayed for a week and did not want to leave. Lovely location slightly up the hill in Kalyves with views out to sea. The apartment was spotless and cleaned everyday. The outdoor space meant you could enjoy sitting outside in the Greek sunshine. The beds were comfortable and theres a little kitchen area and sofa. It's a short walk to the beach and restaurants so was perfect for us. Would definitely stay again.

I loved my holiday in Sofia Kalives! ❤️ I was travelling alone. They made me feel at home and safe all the time! All my questions were answered very friendly. Room service is great, they clean rooms every day. Even my dishes! My room stayed cool, altho I didn't have air conditioner on! View is beautiful! Sea on the other side and mountains the other. It is nice to sit at the terrace and enjoy the view and the local delicacies. Thank You Sofia for giving me the rest that I needed! Hope to come back soon! ❤️

“A Great Location .”
This was our second stay with Sofia, who is always welcoming. Our apartment was comfortable and very clean, we love the view of Souda Bay and the Mountains. We had everything we needed for eating breakfast and light snacks on the terrace. It’s a short walk to the beach and Taverna’s. We have no hesitation in returning in the future.

We stayed one night, during our trip. Everything was great. The arrangement is not quite the most modern, but it is clean, pleasant, with a great terrace and the possibility of resting outside the room.

This was my second stay with Sofia. The room was large and aesthetically pleasing. There was a large outdoor seating area with views of mountains and the sea. The accommodation is close to the beaches and restaurants and there is limited parking right outside the building . Sofia was very friendly as always.

“Overall a very enjoyable stay ! Lovely views , clean and comfortable accommodation”
Sofia the owner of the property was the perfect host . Nothing was too much trouble . Rooms were comfortable and spotlessly clean . The shady terrace was lovely and cool to come back to after a hot day on the beach .

“Very enjoyable.”
The location was on a hill, giving a lovely sea view. Sophia was an excellent host and gave us a lovely welcome. Between a little Greek from me and a little English from Sophia, we got on well! I struggled a little with the hill as I hurt my foot while away, but we still enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

“A lovely accommodation in a great location.”
The welcome was brilliant, although it turned but we had booked a bigger room than was needed, however that gave us plenty of space and that was good. The views from room 7 were great and it was only a short walk down the main road to the fantastic Kalives beach. The included air conditioning was another bonus.
