Holiday rentals near Phalasarna

Overall an amazing stay, villas were great. Beach location was perfect, ample parking, facilities great, cleaner provided throughout, super helpful host. Given large groups stay - would benefit from larger kitchen equipment for sharing food Eg large salad bowls, more Glasses / mugs and sharing utensils like tongs etc. thanks!

There are two great positives about this property, the brilliant property manager (who could not have been more helpful) and the outside facilities (great pool, nice outside furniture and of course the view). On the negative side, the inside of the property is less attractive. I appreciate style is a matter of personal taste (I’d describe the look as ‘Gothic horror meets Haunted house) but uncomfortable furniture was disappointing. The most important aspect of a stay at this villa is its location. It is REMOTE. If you are Greta Garbo and ‘want to be alone’ it would be perfect. If on the other hand you like to walk to local shops and tavernas then this is not the place for you. My number one tip would be to ensure you shop in Chania before you set off and bring every bit of food and drink you need for your stay with you. Whether you feel like you have found your perfect oasis or you feel like you are under house arrest will depend on the success of that shopping trip.

This place was everything we expected and more! Very well equipped for two people, with a lovely supply of fruit, wine, water and home cooking on arrival, with more delivered during our stay. There was also a lovely balcony with views over the olive trees to the sea. Kaliviani is a perfect place from which to explore the western end of Crete and with two good restaurants a minute’s walk away, you don’t have to drive to go out at night. Nantia’s tips on local places to visit and places to eat were all excellent.

Wow! What a villa. The views are amazing - 180 degrees of the sea. The house is very well appointed and super clean. We had all the mod-cons including cooking and washing and the hosts are so kind and helpful. We were welcomed with a generous hamper of goodies including fresh fruit, wine and a lovely home cooked meal. The villa is in a very quiet village and it close to excellent beaches. There are a number of beach tavernas nearby offering fresh fish. The infinity pool is lovely to cool off. The beds are very comfortable - can't say this very every place we have stayed. Can't find a fault anywhere. Really enjoyed our time here.
