Wonderful villa
The villa is exactly as described in the listing.
The villa itself is just one big room, with the sleeping area on a mezzanine, making it feel spacious, open and airy. The views from the villa across Souda bay are amazing, marred slightly by a new building being constructed.
The pool is cleaned thoroughly every morning, the surface is skimmed using a net and a robot cleaner trundles around the bottom of the pool for an hour or 2.
The owner, Katarina, welcomed us to the villa with a lovely hot meal, and also regularly sent more great food during our stay.
We didn’t hire a car as the walk into Kalyves only took about 15 minutes. Kalyves itself is a pleasant little town with many bars and restaurants, a supermarket and beach concessions. For a change of scene Almyrida is 4 km along the coast, and the lovely Venetian harbour town of Chania is accessible by bus if you don’t have a car.
Take plenty of insect repellant and a torch.
