A clean hotel
Posted 28 Aug 2016
Pros: It was clean!
Cons: The Drain smell should be attended to. Also there should be a fan in the living room / second sleeping area, as it was too hot to sleep in.
Location: If you don't mind walking up a very steep hill, this is a hotel for you as it is located in a quiet area and close to lots of restaurants and cafes!
The positive point: clean! The negative: there was a constant drain smell, loads of mosquitoes and the lower level of the apartment needs a fan if people want to sleep there as it was too hot!
The hotel is 25 mins walking from the seaside and it is located in a very steep hill. For us, it was ok and didn't bother us, but if you don't like walking then think twice!

Thank you to share your experience and thank you to stay with us. Sorry for the mosquitoes, everywere in Crete we have many, we have lots of plants and waters....... It's a problem of the area and not of the hotel. TI's true that we are not on the sea, usually we recommended car in order to be easier to go to the beach. Thanks again and I'm glad that you enjoy your holidays, we enjoy it too!!!!!!!!

Wonderful stay
Posted 7 Aug 2016
Pros: The hotel was very nice and clean and very close to the shops.
Cons: A small toaster and iron would be ideal.
Location: There are lots of shops and restaurants close by.
Kalimera Village was a lovely place with a warm and fantastic host and staff. Elina is a very accommodating and helpful lady, nothing was too much for her to help us with. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Kalimera Village.

great!
Posted 11 Jul 2016
Pros: The environment, the rooms, the location
Cons: I would have a small store so that we can buy last minute things on site
Location: Location is great, many beaches, great food
The hotel is very enjoyable, away from the buzz, but quite close to some really good restaurants. A great place to relax. There is an amazing terrace for breakfast, and parking spaces. There was good internet, and quite a nice kitchen. Everything very clean, nice and tidy. The hostess was amazing!

Away from it all...
Posted 27 Aug 2014
Pros: Owners were friendly and helpful. Clean and relaxing apartment and environment. Good air-con in rooms
Cons: Overall very satisfied with our experience. Just be careful about other road users & random people walking aimlessly in the road ...
Location: Location away from noise, all amenities close by/short walk away. Relax by pool or go and watch sport in a bar, eat at one of the many tavernas
Arrived from airport via hire car to the village. Hire car worth getting as you may wish to get food from supermarkets and sight see. Not imperative - but taxi to & from airport for family of five would have been a fifth of car hire anyway.
Our apartment was self catering (although they obviously do breakfast and other quality food offerings), clean & had air-con in bedrooms. Basic kitchenette was functional with full size fridge. Maid service with fresh sheets every 4 days, and towels every two. Rubbish removed and loo roll replaced. Floor mopped and beds made on towel change over.
Swimming pool clean, nice bar area, not too busy even when hotel was full.
The couple who ran the business were professional, kind, courteous and attentive. They were approachable and extremely knowledgeable about the area. Really can't thank them enough for their welcome.
We went on several trips as we like to alternate between pool days & sight seeing with our 3 kids.
Recommend Spinalonga, Lasithi Plateau (turn right at T junction as you approach plateau and grab coffee at flower laden taverna on left - two km from the cave of Zeus) worth a visit. Take trainers - it's a 1km plod up a rocky path. We also made it to the water park - Aquaplus - which was good to do - but go later (3pm) as there is only so long one can splash about for...
Lots of great restaurants in village - Piscopiano. Kostas; Litchnos; Patricko and Aposperida were our favourite - service and food grea

Lovely apartment with beautiful view.
Posted 24 Aug 2014We have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Kalimera Village. Elena and Dimitris, who run it look after you really well and give great advice on where to eat and visit. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from it all in beautiful quiet surroundings but also wants to be in easy walking distance of a range of tavernas and local bars.

Nice friendly appartments
Posted 20 Apr 2014
Pros: Helpful and friendly owner. Everything was clean and well maintained. Nice touch with solar water heating
Cons: Better signing from the village street Provide corkscrew in kitchen
Location: Pleasant village location near Heraklion. Walking distance to all facilities in Hersonissos Harbour. Handy for Knossos and beaches.
We spent 1 week at Easter break here. Facilities very comfortable with very pleasant and helpful owner. Excellent breakfasts with fresh local produce. Pleasant, quiete village with good tavernas and shop. Short walk downhill to main town. Very convenient for the main sites and beaches if you have a car (15 minute walk to main bus line). The appartments all had beautiful views over the bay.

A great place to relax with friendly staff
Posted 28 Sep 2013Kalimera Village turned out to be exactly as we had expected. The owners were very friendly and good not do enough to help us make our stay as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. The taxi transfer we arranged was very prompt.
Our apartment was much bigger than we expected for a 1 bedroom and had a great balcony with views of the sea. The bar was in a lovely setting and was a good place to start our evenings out and finish them! We also pre-paid for breakfast which was always prompt and varied. Lunch menu was limited which was fine but did take some time when ordered, so make sure you are not in a rush.
The pool area was close and very quiet and clean, with a convenient bar on site.
Kaliemra is really well located for the villages close by.
Overall, Kalimera is great value for money, providing traditional clean well maintained apartments in a great location with super friendly and attentive owners. I would definitely consider going back.
