Amazing holiday!!
I 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!

Excellent Villa Near Kalyves
This 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!

We 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.

Beautiful villa
We 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!

Amazing stay!!!
Absolutely loved our stay in this villa. More than enough space for 11 of us with plenty of sunloungers and kitchenware. Wendy was absolutely fantastic at communication and helping us with queries and recommendations. Definitely hire a car as the villa is a 10 min drive from the local beach/shops. Would definitely recommend this villa to anyone!!

! Family & Friends Getaway !
What a villa! Some other review said the villa needed modernising/updating! Where & what? Answers on a postcard please. Start with Wendy, through out the booking process to arriving to staying to leaving, Wendy was on hand 24/7. Not that she was needed, but was always in contact with us. All was straight forward. Fabulous host. The villa, what can I say. The pool was big enough for all 9 of us. The patio area had enough beds, loungers, shade. Many different eating and shaded areas for the little ones. There was by far enough, towels, bed linen, dishes, cutlery, cups, plates, you name it the villa had plenty. From washing machine to dishwasher, this villa had it all. We had nothing to do bar cook food. All bedrooms had an en-suite. All the upper floor balconies were safe and the kids were not able to climb. Everything was clean and tidy. Was spotless. The BBQ area outside had plenty of shade for when cooking, that was also clean and tidy. The only problem we had is that we were not able to walk to the beach, as with little ones it was to far and the main road down from the villa had no paths or safe walking areas. This villa has everything. I can not recommend it enough. Any questions you have please ask Wendy she replies instantly. I give this 6 stars out of 5. And a score of 11 out of 10. What a villa! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

View is lovely and the beds are very comfy. House is tired though and could do with some tlc.
This could be a fabulous house. However, it needs a bit of love and updating. The decor is old fashioned and basic things a bit lacklustre. Door handles and curtain poles that come lose. Air con that doesn’t cool and is really just a fan in all bedrooms. The Wi-Fi is really slow (5-6mbs) and only works downstairs. The access road is pretty steep and in poor condition. The once electric gate is very heavy slide open and closed. Could be a great house with some updating abs repairs.

Beautiful villa & an amazing holiday
As a family of 4 we had a really lovely stay. We can’t fault the property at all .. lots of space, privacy, extremely clean and well cared for, easily accessible, in a lovely neighbourhood, amazing views and great comms with Wendy the owner who made sure everything was ok during our stay. The only downside I would mention is that we thought it would be a bit closer to the village - it’s definitely a drive and not walkable. All in all, we would highly recommend this villa - it’s beautiful!
