Our stay in Kalyves was wonderful. The apartment was everything we expected...very nice. Stelios and Natasha were very responsive; attentive without being intrusive, very helpful and accommodating. There is parking which is a great plus. The bed was very comfortable. We would gladly stay there again. Thank you so much.

Το διαμέρισμα Avra Apartment στις Καλύβες ήταν πάρα πολύ καλό,καθαρό,άνετο με μια όμορφη βεράντα σε μια ήσυχη γειτονία.Καθόλη την διάρκεια της παραμονής μας δεν μας έλειψε απολύτως τίποτα!Οι οικοδεσπότες ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετικοί και πάντα πρόθυμοι να βοηθήσουν σε οτιδήποτε χρειαστήκαμε μας έδωσαν ακόμα και πληροφοριές για φαγητό και για διάφορες δραστηριότητες.Περάσαμε ένα πολυ όμορφο και χαλαρό τριήμερο!

We had a fantastic time in Crete at Stelios and Natasha's place. The apartment is really beautiful and had everything we and our young children needed. We loved the sea view and watching the sunset. Stelios and Natasha were great hosts and quickly replied to any questions we had, and gave us some great recommendations for tavernas to try. We highly recommend their place, and love to come back one day.

The place was so beautiful and clean. The sea view was amazing. The entire house smelled so nice and had a very good style which I loved. It is spacious and cozy. The area was perfect for me. Peaceful but not boring. The way up to the house was a little steep but for me it was added to the character of it. Natasha is incredibly nice and communicative. The balconies were so cute and comfortable. It really was perfect.

Just Perfect! Definitely a unique small family enterprise run by Stelios, Natasa and Anna who immediately greet you with such warmth and friendliness...... already you feel genuinely welcome. The welcome extended also to entering the apartment where you can't help noticing how everything is so exceptionally clean and well thought out. Crockery, cutlery etc all of good quality and condition. A wonderful bowl of fruit, wine and water awaits your arrival. The apartments are situated in a quiet area of Kalyves but close to all amenities with a lovely Patisserie on the corner selling well known homemade cheese and spinach pies and lovely bread. Special memories of sitting on the balcony overlooking the sea watching the little fishing boats and sometimes the cruise ships could be seen making their way to Chania. No need to take binnoculars - these are also provided for your use. Do hope every visitor to the apartments enjoy as we did - 'JUST PERFECT!

Отличные душевные аппартаменты . Отличные апартаменты.Фото соответствует действительности. Душевный прием хозяев. В апартаментах есть все необходимое. ВСЕ! Чай, сахар, таблетки для стир.машинки, тряпка. Посуда, кастрюли, сковородки, чайный сервиз, красивые блюда, бокалы, открывашки и поварешки и прочее. Кофеварка, утюг, фен, стиралка. Матрасы хорошие и подушки. Жили как дома!! За 10 дней уборка и смена полотенец белья 3 раза! Это наши 4 апартаменты в разных странах и мы с мужем решили, что они оказались самыми лучшими. Красота вокруг даже в мелочах. Лампа из ракушек просто чудесна) Наши апартаменты были самыми большими, 3 балкона.Пляж 15 минут пешком, а мы ездили на более дальний в этом же поселке. Супермаркет недалеко.Мы были на машине и в горку к апартаментам поднимались на машине. Пешком было бы тяжеловато.Кондитерская рядом ) Спасибо за чудесный прием, бутылочку вина при заезде и подарочек при отъезде. От души благодарим хозяев!
Great apartment.Photo corresponds to reality. The sincere welcome of the owners. The apartment has everything you need. ALL! Tea, sugar, tablets for the washing.cars, rag. Dishes, pots, pans, tea set, beautiful dishes, glasses, openers and ladles and so on. Coffee maker, iron, hair dryer, washing machine. Mattresses are good and pillows. Lived at home!! For 10 days cleaning and change of towels 3 times! This is our 4 apartments in different countries and my husband and I decided that they were the best. The beauty around you even in small things. The seashell lamp is just wonderful) Our apartment was the biggest, 3 balconies.The beach is 15 minutes walk, and we went to a further in the same village. A supermarket close by.We were by car and up the hill to the apartment went up by car. Walking would be hard.Confectionery nearby ) Thank you for the wonderful reception, a bottle of wine on arrival and a gift on departure. We sincerely thank the hosts!
все понравилось. Жили как дома. в Одну сторону 40 минут Ретимно, в другую 30 минут Ханья)
one way 40 minutes of Rethymno, the other 30 minutes of Chania)
I liked it. Lived as homes.

5 star ratingAnother Wonderful Week at the Avra We have just returned from our third visit to the Avra Apartments and had a wonderful time with the amazing owners Natasa and Stelios. Their welcome and hospitality is second to none and they really made as feel part of their family.

I have posted two previous reviews on the Avra so they can be accessed for further information on the Apartments. Suffice it to say they are absolutely beautiful and come highly recommended in every way. We slept wonderfully in the very comfortable king size bed and all the equipment, furniture and fittings are of a very high standard indeed – attention to detail is amazing and the lovely artistic touches give the warmth and comfort of one’s own home. The outlook from our terrace is stunning with a lovely view across Souda Bay.

If there were more stars to award this property then I would indeed give it far more than five!!! Thank you again Natasa and Stelios – we hope to see you again next year.

We stayed at Avra apartments for 5 nights and it was a superb stay.
The apartment is exactly as in the pictures. It is equipped with every little thing you might need during your stay, and seems that everything is brand new.
We actually felt like home while being there. Natasa and Stelios were super engaging, gave great recommendations and helped with anything we needed during our stay.
