Wonderful family holiday
Publié le 21 août 2024 sur HomeAwayJust back from a wonderful holiday in this beautiful villa.
Our first visit to Crete and it did not disappoint.
The villa is a 30 min drive from Chania airport. Directions to the property were easy as were the instructions to let ourselves in.
The villa itself is amazing and the photos do not do it justice. The house is spacious with large bedrooms which are all en suite. Each room has its own balcony which boasts incredible views and the seating on these make the perfect spot for cocktails at sundown.
The communal space inside is also spacious and the adequate kitchen leads to the beautiful outdoor space. The pool is stunning, with plenty of loungers surrounding it. There are also covered eating and seating areas which shade from the sun when you need it. We also used the outdoor kitchen and enjoyed BBQs by the poolside taking in the views. The grounds are also beautifully kept with the gorgeous scent of jasmine making it even more divine.
It is a short drive to the local town which has plenty of restaurants, shops, a small supermarket and a lovely beach. Parking here was also easy.
The rest of the area is beautiful and the house is situated with easy access to other parts of the island which are worth exploring.
Wendy was extremely helpful. We had a small issue with the water when we were there but she dealt with it immediately and with very little disruption to our holiday.
Our only negative point was the number of beds. There are two double rooms and two twin

Outstanding villa with larger than usual pool, incredible view. Perfect for a family holiday
Publié le 8 août 2024 sur HomeAwayWendy our host, was incredibly responsive from the initial contact and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is very well finished and furnished. The pool is larger than usual for a villa. The view is spectacular and you can watch the sun rise from a mountain on one side and the sun set behind the mountain on the other side. The village is walkable, 20 mins. The village has clean sandy beaches, friendly restaurants and a boat hire service. We did trips to Knossos, dined in front of waterfalls and pedalled in a lake watching turtles. Great holiday.

Amazing holiday!!
Publié le 17 août 2023 sur HomeAwayI rented the villa for 2 weeks to spend our holidays in Crete. The villa is beautiful, in a great location, with a breathtaking view and a big pool to enjoy. We rented a car to reach the near by village in 5 minutes and the amazing beaches on the coast.
Wendy has been very supportive and kind as host, looking after my family and my guests and proactively making sure we could enjoy a memorable holiday.
Highly recommended!
Thanks Wendy!

Fantastic villa among the olive groves!
Publié le 12 août 2023 sur HomeAwayFantastic villa located a bit up the mountainside among the beautiful olive groves. Lovely view of the sea and the town of Kalives. The villa is very spacious and clean. We were two families staying for 2 weeks, a total of 11 persons. It is optimal with 9 persons as regards to bedrooms/beds, but if you have a few smaller children, it will also fit nicely with 11. You can get around best with your own car, but if you want to spend a lot of time by the lovely pool by the house, it can pay off to use the local taxi. The private balconies with their own sunbeds were top notch if you wanted to retreat a bit. There are restaurants in Kalives that deliver food on order to the house which suited us well in between. The host was very helpful and always available if anything. A house that really can be recommended for relaxation and creating of delicious summer memories!

Excellent Villa Near Kalyves
Publié le 30 juin 2023 sur HomeAwayThis villa is beautiful! We stayed near Kalyves for a family reunion with members of our family who own a house in Kalyves. They remarked how beautiful the property was and that they would recommend it to others too. It is NOT an easy walk to the beach but only a 5-min drive and parking is simple and free at the amazing Kalyves beach. Wendy, the owner, was super resonsive and helpful. The directions are a bit difficult from the airport but was easy to find if one knew how to get to the town market. Bring bug spray for the mosquitos. The pool was fun and very clean. Everything was really great!! The ONLY thing I would suggest is new screens for the doors/windows as they didn't work while we were there. But we enjoyed the view with our coffee and wine and created great family memories there. Thank you Wendy!

Beautiful villa with great view
Publié le 7 oct. 2022 sur HomeAwayWe spent a relaxing week in a very spacious, clean villa. Wendy is an attentive hostess with whom we were in written contact for any questions.
The 4 bedrooms each with bath and balcony/terrace (3 on the 1st floor and 1 on the ground floor) are fine. The kitchen is also well equipped. The whole house has a pleasantly low noise level.
Unfortunately, the mosquito nets on all doors to terraces or balconies have not worked = probably some previous tenants havnt carefully dealt with. Therefore, we had to fight with annoying mosquitoes...
The "heated" pool would have cost €500. I find this misleading and Wendy should change this in the property description.
A precise indication if hand- and bath towels are changed and toilet paper is replenished would also be nice. We know villas in this region doing this, and others do not.
The sublime location is impressive and allows a super beautiful view of the sea. You have to rely on cars and the access road deserves some respect.
We are giving 5 stars overall. Nevertheless, we also point out issues that can be improved or should be taken into consideration.
Thank you Wendy ;-)

Excellent property
Publié le 23 sept. 2022 sur HomeAwayWe had a lovely stay in this property. Views we lovely, not over looked . You need a car to travel round, the local village which is a couple of miles away has arrange of bars and restaurants, also worth going up Ito the hills so you can find some tavernas off the beaten track. We left cards and write you in the villa of some of the places to visit. Thanks for a great stay.

Amazing place
Publié le 5 sept. 2022 sur HomeAwayWe had the most wonderful time at this villa. The rooms were luxurious and all appointed with air conditioners. We enjoyed an astonishing view over a few villages and the ocean. The pool was nice and big enough for ten of us. Honestly, the photos don’t really represent the beauty of this place properly.
Wendy was very kind and obliging. She provided all the important information, answered every question within minutes even during our stay and even ordered the cleaner to come early so that we could check-in earlier in the morning. We had a perfect stay in a calm neighborhood at her villa.

Beautiful villa
Publié le 1 août 2022 sur HomeAwayWe had a fantastic 10 day holiday at Villa Blue Rocks with family and friends. The views are unbelievable, the pool is perfect and the villa was the ideal base for our holiday.
I would say that you really do need a car as the location is in a very hilly area and the walk to Kalyves is particularly challenging. Its not impossible but it does take about 45 mins and I would definitely not recommend its safe for young kids or elderly guests.
We had a car an ventured to Chania (gorgeous old town!), Georgeopolis (fab beach!), Vamos for dinner, and spent time on the smaller beach in Kalyves. We also did a boat trip with Kalyves Cruises from the small harbour which took us into the bay area of Souda, a highlight of our holiday, would definitely recommend.
Wendy (the host) was very quick to respond to our questions in the run up to our holiday and given all the issues with Covid and then ultimately having to change our dates, she was a superb host.
I would highly recommend this villa, it really is a lovely place to stay!
