Stavros houses

Had 10 guests of friends stay here for 2 nights. Overall the house is great and well taken care of. Location is about a 15 minute walk from the beach in a pretty remote location, where we didn’t have to worry about noise on the roof. All in all everything worked out despite my skepticism beforehand as it’s worthy to note you need a 1000 euro security deposit prepared upon checkin. I also recommend that the hosts put air into the 3 bike tires that were flat. Lastly, we found the hosts to be accommodating and nice, as they were able to arrange a car for us to get into town, about 25 minute drive. We enjoyed our stay and thank the hosts for their care.

This is a beautiful apartment, in a lovely quiet location, with a great swimming pool and lovely sea views. A car is necessary to get to the nearest amenities, but everything is just a short drive away. Cleaning and pool maintenance was provided three times a week and the hosts were friendly, responsive and very helpful. Would very much recommend!

Lovely place to stay in Stavros very close to beach and restaurants.

Lovely apartment with great terrace overlooking the Venetian harbour. There is a spiral staircase leading to the terrace which is quite challenging for those with mobility problems, but worth the effort. The apartment is very well equipped and there was cleaning and linen change halfway through the week. Air conditioning is very efficient which was very welcome as the weather was very hot. I loved being so close to the harbour, watching all the activity, and the Old Town with its little narrow streets and tempting shops was just round the corner. I wish I was still there!

I've just returned from Crete after staying in the villa for a week. It had everything we needed and a few extras too, such as bottled water, fruit, homemade raki, herbs, spices, coffee, tea, honey etc. The outdoor area was great for lounging around, but the beach was even better, with a few sun loungers exclusive to the owner's properties. The views were spectacular. Checking in was a simple process and Alex gave us a tour of the property on arrival. The owner was very welcoming and kind to us during our stay. We often saw him around the area. We stayed here in the quieter season (October onwards) so the temperature was perfect (25 Celcius) and the area was much more peaceful. I highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a peaceful base with spectacular views and facilities. Thank you for making our stay comfortable and memorable.

Fantastic location for a stress free holiday for those who prefer not to drive whilst on holiday. A lovely quiet, safe neighbourhood within a few minutes walk of historical buildings, a huge variety of charming shops (including city shopping). The food was amazing, so much variety and very high quality with very memorable views and settings by the beautiful Venetian harbour. A couple of beaches close by and plenty of opportunity to have walks by the sea. So many cafes and restaurants to have a drink/lunch and laze away the afternoon. We enjoyed a charming carriage ride around Chania, as a huge animal lover it was lovely to see how well the horses are cared for by their proud owners and we wanted to support this. Our house felt like home for our 1 week stay, immaculately clean, brilliant use of space and beautiful interior decor. Maria and her husband were so helpful and a very tasty home cooked meal was much appreciated after a long day travelling. Brilliant !!

Beautiful apartment and terrace, beautiful gardens, with incredible views across Souda Bay towards the mountain. Comfortably furnished, well equipped and nice welcome pack in the kitchen. It’s very quiet and isolated but within easy reach of everything we needed. We’re returning home fully recharged and know it’s a place we’d like to return to time and again. The host is extremely welcoming and hospitable, provided a detailed information pack and maintained excellent contact

Really close to the airport but also to Chania. Very easy to walk the short cut to Sternes for those without a car. Also easy to walk to 2 beaches and explore the countryside around Sternes. The view is very special, taking in the sea and the spectacular white mountains. We enjoyed a relaxing retreat with no TV, radio, computer or phone distractions and felt wonderfully relaxed. There is a vegetable garden just beside the house. Alexandra supplied us with really useful information before our holiday. Elsa was our host at the property upon arrival. The hospitality throughout our stay was outstanding, far more than ever could be expected. By the end of our week we felt like we had been staying with a good friend. This makes it a particularly special place. We would like to thank them both for enhancing our holiday.
