We had a lovely holiday staying in Wendy’s Villa. The beds were very comfortable , great large swimming pool and lovely bbq area. Wendy was an excellent host and responded quickly to any minor issues. It’s very well located close to Almyrida with lots of great tavernas, beach etc. Hope to come back next year - we loved it!
We spent 2 fantastic weeks in Wendy’s property outside Kalyves. Villa is stunning, photos do not do it justice. Communications with Wendy were answered quickly and the whole booking went smoothly and without any hitches.A car is a must, Kalyves is too far to walk to and return journey is up a steep hill. Also Crete itself is beautiful and requires further investigation so a car is essential.All in all a fantastic holiday topped off by a 5 star villa.
Great villa, outside terrace and swimming pool The kitchen equipment is a bit light as well as the wifi connectionBut we're not here to be connected and the host's kindness and reactivity largely make up for it
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.
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!
Outstanding villa with larger than usual pool, incredible view. Perfect for a family holiday
Wendy 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.
While the house and location was great, our family was not able to use the pool the entire week because of a bee infestation. There were no less than 30plus bees in the grates all around the pool. The owner Wendy is responsive and tried to remedy the situation but it did not work. The remedy was using fish guts as bait scattered around the pool which then flew into the pool. Also tried a toxic spray that was left for us to do ourselves. Unfortunately that put a major damper on the trip as the pool area was one of the reasons we chose the house. There were also no blankets and were told they only supply flat sheets so with air conditioning it was uncomfortably cold to sleep and we had to use towels. The location is close to many beaches and sites but is not walkable at all since it’s high on the mountain.

Wonderful villa with great host
The check in process was great, Wendy shared across the details well in advance and answered any questions we had before and during the stay really promptly and tried to help as much as possible with the couple of issues we had.The pool is a great size and the few bits there when we arrived (basket ball, bat and ball, lilo) we are a great bonus. As mentioned on other feedback there were hornets by the pool whilst we were there due to the heat and their seeking out of water, whilst initially very concerning, they were absolutely fine and harmless. The villa was even better than it's photos online in real life and the 3 balconies and stunning sunset views are breathtaking! The 5th bedroom really is very small, it does say online it is just a sofa bed, but when it is out, there is little other room in the room and it would only suit small children, not teenagers. Some items could do with an update and more stable WiFi but in the main, it is a great quality home for the week with everything you could need. We ate in the villa on two nights and there was ample equipment for 8 of us to BBQ. We hired a car for the week, which was ideal for exploring as alot to see within 30 mins drive of the villa, highly recommend the Aptera ruins, Lake Kouras and some time in Chania - which some great beaches and towns less than 5 mins drive away. Unfortunately we couldn't find anything we felt we could walk to safely as mentioned in the description. Fantastic week and would return!
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!
10/10 An amazing stay in a beautiful villa. We've just come back from a weeks family holiday and can't fault the accommodation.As mentioned in a previous review, there are some bees around the pool, but they stay out of your way and are no problem at all. You may also see the odd cockroach, spider, cricket, lizard etc because "nature"! My kids aren't that great with insects, but they were absolutely fine. The villa contains everything you need for a comfortable night and fun day. Blankets aren't needed as the A/C keeps the rooms at a good temp for sleeping. We had a hire car for the stay and it was pretty essential I think. The beach is walkable, but it would be a good 30-40 mins uphill to come home. The views are stunning and a few sunset drinks were enjoyed. Other plus points:- Pool is incredibly clean - better than most top hotel pools - and large- WiFi: although not super high speed, it's fine for most web pages and social media apps etc. Speeds ranged from 10-30Mb- Kitchen appliances are all high quality and work well. The addition of a washing machine and dishwasher is a bonus- Beds are really comfortable with plenty of pillows- Loads of sun loungers and a few umbrellas so easy to find shade if needed.- Wendy is very responsive and makes sure that everything is OK during your stayIn summary, don't let the negative reviews put you off as most of the issues appear to have been rectified long ago, or aren't worth worrying about! We will hopefully be back.
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!
Just 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

Could be beautiful but poorly maintained
I'll start with the good points!
The views are exceptional! This property has the most beautiful views and every terrace makes the most of them. A beautiful spot to relax and drink in the scenery.
The property itself could be gorgeous. It's very spacious and plenty of space for two sharing families with children.
The pool is lovely.
Now the bad...! the plumbing throughout the entire property is completely shoddy & needs a major overhaul! Within 24 hours of arriving we had a leaking bath, a leaking shower and the pool heating (which we had paid a lot of extra money for) had broken. 'Jimmy' the maintenance man was great and came straight away... but sadly fixed nothing! After a specialist plumber was called and a lot of black soot exploded (literally) all over the pool and terraces, the boiler was fixed and pool heating resumed! Then the downstairs toilet began to leak sewage water... stinking out the downstairs bedroom and making that bathroom completely unusable. This was never fixed either, even though Jimmy did come twice to look at it. The upstairs toilets then began to really smell too... badly... and we needed fans on all the time to keep the air circulating as the smell was so unbearable. By the end of the first week, the kitchen sink had also given up on us and was needing daily plunging! It began to leak every time we took the plug out and spread old dirty washing up water/food all over the terrace by the pool. So we were all treading in unpleasant old waste water which was pretty disgusting! the dishwasher also leaked permanently so we had towels all over the floor to soak that up!
All in all - a disaster! We contacted the owner immediately and continued to contact her as we became more and more desperate. I can only imagine the house had been empty for a long time before our visit as the plumbing simply couldn't handle being used.
At no point have we been offered an apology. We have been told that there will be no refund as she has spent a lot of money on the maintenance guy (the one who didn't manage to fix anything) and also on the pool heating. So it is up to us to bear the brunt of the costs.
A huge shame and a very nearly ruined precious 2 week holiday. Had we realised how bad things were going to get we would have looked to move but with no wifi and the promise of things being fixed we tried instead to just enjoy our holiday.
I would caution anyone looking at this villa - there are plenty of other options in the area!

Good trip
Had a very nice time, beautiful villa. Wendy was also very nice and took care of every problem we had.
Fantastic 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!
We 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 ;-)
We 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.
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!!
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! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Sehr luxuriöses und sauberes Haus mit phänomenalem Ausblick auf die Bucht von Chania.
Tolle Outdoor Kitchen mit BBQ und voll eingerichtete große Küche im Haus. Jedes Zimmer hat Balkon oder Terassenzugang. Wir fanden es großartig.
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.

Fijne villa
We hebben ons verblijf in deze villa als heel fijn ervaren. Het is een ruim, net huis met goede aircoditioning en goede bedden. De badkamers bij alle verschillende kamers zijn heel lekker. Grote koelkast met vriezer en goede afwasmachine. Wasmachine is ook aanwezig. Vooral genoten van het zwembad en het uitzicht. Buitenkeuken met bbq eenmaal gebruikt, is wat achterstallig qua schoonmaak en onderhoud. Zwembad werd op woensdag gereinigd, wat heerlijk is. Het huis werd verder niet schoongemaakt tijdens ons verblijf.
De villa ligt op een rustige plek. Met onze huurauto gingen we erop uit. Chania, Rethymnon, Kalyves, Almyrida, Elafonisi, Falassarna, Phili…
We genoten van Kreta en raden dit huis aan.
