Client Testimonials

This is a very beautiful home and Alex is a great host - very accommodating and responsive. I LOVED that he offers a wide selection of menus for the private chef to come cook in the home. We enjoyed probably one of the best dinners of our entire trip for a very reasonable price. The chefs are TOP notch and the food was amazing (my Greek mother in law was truly impressed and the chefs even helped out by bringing her some ingredients to cook for us the following evening). The villa is about 20 minutes from the main town and taxis are a little pricey so having the option to enjoy the private chef for a meal or two is nice (better food than anywhere else we enjoyed on the island and you don't have to pay for the taxi). Alex stocks the home with some snacks, water, a few beers, and wine so that you are not without supplies when you first arrive; he also helped by getting us some ice when we left a message, which was very nice. The villa is set up on a hill with an amazing view of the sea. The beach that is down the hill is probably the best on the island (in my opinion). Overall, beaches on the Greek islands tend to be "beach clubs" in which you pay for a chair/ umbrella all day and are expected to purchase drinks and food (NOT cheap - some can run you $100 for just 2 chairs). Agios Sostis beach is exactly what we wanted for our days in Mykanos (quiet, secluded, no services). We were able to pack up our lunches and beach blankets and walk on down and just relax (note: this is a nude acceptable beach, but it was still very comfortable for our group, including my Mother in law). The walk down is about 15 minutes and the walk back up the very steep hill is about 30 minutes (while it seems daunting, it's totally doable - my 65 year old mother in law had no issues just going slowly.... plus you get to jump in the pool after you climb the hill). It would be nice if there were some light weight beach chairs and a beach umbrella available in the home, but we did fine by having our parachute material beach blankets for the day. Lastly, something I did not know about Mykonos is how windy it is - at first I thought the strong winds would be un-enjoyable, but it was so nice on the beaches. Just be sure to close and secure the big wood shutters in the house so you can sleep in quiet at night. Overall I would definitely stay at Villas Kalas with a big group again!

It's a truly 5 star villa. We had a great experience staying there. Our family rented both villas. Each of them had a spectacular breathtaking views. When I searched for it online, the pictures of the view were so beautiful that we decided to make it our wedding venue! When we came there on the move in day, I never doubt my original decision! It was gorgeous even better than in the pictures! We had our wedding ceremony and the dinner by the pool. Alex, the owner, was outstanding with every request we had. He helped us organize the best wedding ever, that was not only perfect in our eyes, but blew away all our guests. We had a private chef Makis cooking for us and the food was better than in any of the restaurants in Greece that we tried in our total 3 weeks vacation. The rooms were very clean, the kitchen was fully equipped. When you are in this villa, you feel like you are in paradise and we didn't even want to go anywhere else. The beach is in walking distance, but make sure you wear comfortable shoes for that. We definitely will be back! Thank you Alex for everything you've done for us! We wouldn't be able to have such a perfect celebration without you!

“Amazing place! We had a tremendous time. Beautiful! Thank You!

We stayed for 7 nights in Vill Eritta. The villa is absolutely fantastic, it looks exactly like in the photos. It is spacious, clean and well equipped. The pool area is lovely for sunbathing and you have a view of the ocean in the distance. The lounge area is very comfortable and there is plenty of space for dining both inside and out. Having a BBQ was also lovely for the nights we wanted to stay in and cook ourselves. The shower was great - very powerful and hot. The kitchen is very well equipped. Nice towels are provided for both the shower and pool. All the luxuries you could expect to find at a 5 star hotel! The owners were extremely responsive, friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for exploring Southern Crete. The quaint village of Sivas is just a two minute stroll away where there are a few lovely tavernas (Vafis and Sactoris). We visited Pitsidia, Matala, Kommos, Kalamaki, Agia Galini, The Ancient City of Phaistos, Zaros - all within a very short drive of the villa. I can highly recommend the Scala restaurant and Port Side bar in Matala as well as Delfini (Dolfins) restaurant in Kalamaki. Our favourite beach was Matala. After visiting these places we drove to take the boat to Loutro and walked the Samaria Gorge which I would also recommend. There is a local butchers in Sivas for buying meat and supermarkets are a short drive away in Moires. I would highly recommend this villa for anyone looking to explore the delights of Southern Crete.

We recently returned home from a wonderful one week stay in Villa Diantha, which is located on the edge of the quaint village of Sivas. The villa itself is beautifully decorated and furnished, and everything is brand new and in perfect condition. It is stocked with everything you could need – air-con, wifi, fridge/freezer, microwave, oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, comfy beds, hairdryer, separate bath and pool towels, TV, DVD player, sun loungers, deck chairs, large umbrellas and a lovely outdoor dining area. The pool area is fantastic and has plenty of space. We were lucky enough to be there when neither of the other two villas were occupied so we had the entire pool area to ourselves which was an added bonus! Our flight out to Crete was delayed by around an hour so we arrived at the villa later than we expected (around 11pm). However when we arrived Heike (the manager) was waiting for us and gave us a very warm welcome before showing us around the villa. One word of warning though – upon arrival we were asked to pay a EUR200 deposit (for any damages) which we had not been pre-warned about. Luckily we had enough cash to cover this but it was certainly an inconvenience. Whilst we spent most of our time lazing around the pool we enjoyed visiting the beach at Matala and also had a lovely meal out there one evening. Our favourite beach was Agio Forago but we only visited once as it is quite a mission to get to – a long and slow drive down a dirt track followed by a 30 min walk in the blazing sunshine (albeit a very flat and easy walk). We had many lovely meals in Sivas village which is only as 5 minute walk from the villa.
