Kalimera Village

Was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but we had a fabulous time at Kalimera Village. If you go expecting a traditional Greek home with lots of character you will not be disappointed. This is such a welcoming, relaxing place to be. The pool was great, view from the balcony was lovely, enough equipment in the kitchen to get by but so many restaurants in a 5 min radius and the food at a good price. Supermarkets 5 mins away....down the hill. Slow and steady and it was fine getting up it. Loved our holiday at Kalimera Village!

We absolutely loved our stay at Kalimera Village. We were looking for smaller (number of rooms, rather than size of rooms), traditional accommodation in the hope that we would get a more personal and authentic experience. Kalimera was perfect. We stayed with our 2 teenage (tall) children and were in one of the rooms yet to be renovated. It suited us perfectly, it had two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two balconies, it was plenty big enough for us all. It was basic but very clean and had everything we needed. The bedrooms had air-conditioning at no extra cost and the apartment was cleaned every other day. We used the pool on most days and quite often had it to ourselves. We booked for Bed and Breakfast, and each morning the lovely Kosta provided us with a fabulous breakfast, with the bonus of an amazing view overlooking the sea. Kostas and Anna really made a difference to our stay, they were both so welcoming and accommodating. Kalimera is just a short walk from the restaurants and bars of Piskopiano with a large selection of good quality options to choose from. The closest restaurant is about a three-minute walk away (Kostas Taverna - well worth a visit, lovely people and lovely food) and the spa at the bottom of the hill is great for all the basics and lovely fresh salads, rolls and pastries too. We couldn't fault our stay; we loved it and did not want to leave - we hope to come back again one day.

Very nice apartments that have a rustic feel in a really nice location. We booked these apartments for a few nights before onward journey elsewhere in Crete. We would usually always stay by the coast but it was very nice staying up the hill and in the villages and the small pool is perfect to keep you cool. The owner showed lots of hospitality and the breakfast is simple but nice too. There are lots of very good restaurants near by and would recommend exploring the near by villages at night. We had a great time and hope to return next year. Would recommend for value for money.

Spent 2 weeks here in July, superb location on a quiet street in Piskopiano, Anna welcomed us along with Kosta and we were taken to our room, brilliant room with an upstairs, balcony with amazing view, plenty of storage, air con and a comfy bed, downstairs has a kitchen with a kettle provided and a little stove, fridge, table & chairs, the front room had a sofa ( can use as a sofa bed) a tv and another balcony, it’s a really lovely place to stay. You can have breakfast on the roof terrace made by Kosta, delicious omelets, cereals, fresh fruit, cheeses all very tasty. The villages piskopiano & Koutalafari are just a couple of minutes down the road. I would definitely stay here again we had no issues at all just a perfect stay ❤️

Just got back from a restful week at Kalimera Village. We had always fancied staying here as it seemed so quiet and Anna had shown us round on two previous occasions. First the good: cleaning is probably the best we have come across. Bed changed every other day and apartment cleaned top to bottom. Air conditioning is free, which is very rare these days. Anna genuinely does her best to ensure that you have an enjoyable holiday. Views from most of the apartments are superb. I should also mention that every apartment is different- no ticky-tacky boxes here! The dog, Canello, is friendly but fails as a guard dog due to his age-17! We only had the breakfast one morning as we don’t normally have breakfast on holiday but it was wholesome and reasonably priced. Towels for the pool are free and are of excellent quality. Points of concern: we were the only Brits for the whole week which didn’t bother us but solo travellers might get a bit lonely. The clientele were mostly Dutch. We had the smallest room which would have comfortably slept four. The rooms are generous but this does attract groups of teenagers. All in all we had a wonderful time. Would we return? - can’t wait!

I used loveholidays online to book flights, transfers & accommodation as a/ it worked out less expensive & b/ it gave you more options than package holiday agents online such as Tui or Jet2 so this brought up this property & many others in the villages of Piskopiano & Koutouloufari. I had the benefit of staying at the Asterias Village last year so I knew roughly where these apartments would be & yes as others have said they are not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. It's a steepish slope to get up & down & multiple steps at the property, depending on where you are. It was 52 steps to room 9, I counted them! That said because we were so high, we had the best views over the whole area & it was amazing, day or night & to wake up to that view from where you sleep - bliss! We did tell the owner, Anna, that we would be late getting in & it became later & later as our flight was delayed about an hour or so & then our shared transfer took about an hour & then we were dropped off at the bottom of Piskopiano & had to walk up! We managed to find our way & as requested rang the doorbell & we were shown to our apartment by the night manager who also gave us a bottle of water each but yep we made it! I would say anyone booking with love holidays take the private taxi transfer option both ways if you stay here as only a car or small van will get up these hills! We stayed in an apartment that could actually sleep 6 so it had a downstairs, with no air con & an upstairs with 2 bedrooms. Also 2 balconies. We just lived out of our cases downstairs as our dressing room & slept upstairs in the double room. As already stated, the apartments are basic but clean. Towels & bedding are provided/changed every other day & we enjoyed staying there. It wasn't an upgraded bathroom & it would be great to go there again & get an upgraded one as the shower curtain was quite annoying but the water was great for pressure & we had all the facilities we needed included free wi fi. We had the sun in the morning on the balcony so it was very easy to relax there of a morning with a cuppa & sunbathe. There is a small pool across the road which was nice with an honesty bar & we used that a few times. Sometimes just having it for ourselves. Anna the owner was very accommodating indeed & rang taxis for us & we were able to secure our apartment for a late checkout with no trouble at all. We were packed off with a bottle of water each
