Holiday rentals in Stilos

A short walk from downtown Kalyves, but far removed from the hustle and bustle of the town of Kalyves. Several good places to eat, with some services such as medical and a pharmacy, a couple small markets with enough provisions. The location had absolutely amazing views of the bay of Souda, very private and quiet. The property is secured by an electric gate, to keep wandering tourists away, in that this accommodation appears historical in nature, maybe all that’s left of an old kastelli, based on the rock walls. I could be wrong, but I would guess that the actual accommodation is what used to be the powder magazine for the old fort. We enjoyed the place immensely.

The location of villa Adriana is perfect for people who love the quiet country side. No neighbours, but some goats , sheep and a cat who can see you walking in pyjamas in the garden in the morning. Very comfy and really huge beds! The kitchen has all the utensils you need to cook. There could be more light above the (electric) stove. The one from the extractor hood didn’t work. Compared with the beautiful bathroom and bedroom downstairs the kitchen is rather outdated. It was fine to cook nevertheless , especially with the delicious olive oil Alexandros gave us! Unfortunately it was not warm enough -end April, start of May- to swim in the pool, but the view of the pool with the garden full of flowers and olive trees and, on the background, the mountains still covered with a bit of snow was stunning anyway! I loved the road to the house: first drive through the village with narrow streets and then through the olive yards. Last but not least: the host Alexandros is very kind as well!

What a lovely host that goes out of their way for their guests! Best host I've ever stayed with! We enjoyed some of the nicest views at Vasilis's place! The accommodation has absolutely everything you need, you can tell the host has put a lot of care and effort into it! The pool was lovely (we went in June), clean and warm and we met some cute frogs by it in the evening. The bed was very comfortable, the tap water drinkable and there was plenty of space for us to sit outside and enjoy the fresh evening air. Would recommend!!

Really enjoyed our stay at Phy-Sea villa! Marianna was a great host who greeted us with a tray of fruit and cheese upon checking in and provided us with several wonderful dining and activity recommendations. The place itself is peaceful and close to Chania while feeling like you are getting away. Though there are many beaches close by, we also liked having our own pool. Looking forward to coming back!

Logement très bien placé pour visiter l’ouest de La crête et avec la chaleur , la piscine est un bien précieux !!! Un grand merci à Vasilis son accueil et à Kiriaki pour les échanges Je recommande ce logement

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. La maison est très agréable, conçue avec beaucoup de goût, dans un environnement très paisible (et à la fois très proche du centre ville), avec une vue incroyable. L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter l’ouest de l’île. Maria, l’hôte de la maison, est très agréable, disponible/ réactif. Nous recommandons vivement cette maison

What a perfect spot to spend holiday! It was very hard to leave this incredible place. This airbnb has provided us with the best holiday memories. We could not have asked for a better holiday home. Nectarios is such a kind and helpful host all the way through, very hospitable! Aptera was the perfect spot for us to spend a vacation on Crete. Easy to reach every place on Crete with a car, and the local tavernas just a short walk from the house provided us with a perfect local feeling. We hope to be back one day!

Giannis was excellent host always replied within an hour Met us at property and explained everything thoroughly and even provided cheese ham bread and wine on our arrival. Villa is in a lovely peaceful area but well based for Kalyves(10 mins drive) where we had some lovely meals in the many tavernas there . Ideal base for exploring the island with the beautiful Chania only 30mins drive away It was so lovely to get in the pool after a day sight seeing in the nice pool area. The villa had everything you need for a great stay. Beds were very comfortable air con in every room worked so well and much needed as was very hot in the 10 days of our stay. Loved having our breakfasts sitting on the balcony with the lovely scenery and watching the sun sets at night The villa was cleaned and fresh towels and linen provided twice during our stay which was a fantastic service. All in all from start to finish this was a lovely experience and highly recommend this lovely villa .
