Stavros Villas and Apartments

My girlfriend and I spent a week at the Stavros hotel and apartments and really enjoyed our time there. We had wanted some time away together as she had only returned to the UK in January after living in Australia for 18 years. She originally booked a studio room which at first seemed fine, lovely and clean but we felt that it was a little tight. We spoke to Haroula the owner and as it was the end of season she was more than happy to upgrade us to an apartment. Double bed 😉 rather than two singles pushed together, two bathrooms and balconies front and back. I’m not sure but there are no more than 15 to possibly 20 rooms. Other than a lovely Dutch couple and their two young children we had the pool to ourselves every day but also had the pick of sun beds on the beach which is through an arch by the dinning area, so you really are on the beach. Haroula and her husband Mixalis or Mike are a very lovely couple, as are her mum and dad. Breakfast is a basic buffet but enough to get you started for the day. They serve food all day and lots of people turn up from around to eat there. In the evenings the food they serve is renowned and there are lots of people coming for their evening meals. It seemed very quiet, which is what we were looking for and enjoyed our stayed so much that we are already looking to go back in May. Haroula, Mike and family, we can see why people come back, again and again, you have a wonderful place and you are so warm and caring, and if I could buy the plot of land next to yours and build a house there then I would. And then we could have coffee’s together all summer xx

Wanted somewhere to relax on the beach for 6 days during half term. My wife spent a while looking for somewhere on the beach and within close walking distance to other bars & restaurants, Stavros Apartments and Villas was absolutely perfect for us. As this was our 4th time to Crete we didn’t plan on any sightseeing so got a taxi from Chania Airport (30 mins not including the diversion into the town centre for the taxi driver to pick up a pair trousers before the shop shut!). When we arrived there were a number of locals there having a meal which for us is always a good sign that food will be good, we weren’t disappointed. The welcome from the owners and staff was friendly and welcoming, this continued throughout our stay. Breakfast was included in price, and despite trying we didn’t manage to finish it on any morning, extra juice and coffee were always offered, see pictures. After spending the morning on the very quiet beach with the sunbeds provided for guests, we then had a great lunch in the restaurant, I would recommend trying any of the homemade local specials. The apartment was clean with everything you would need, with two balconies so you could choose between sun or shade whatever the time of day. There were a lot of options for eating and drinking elsewhere and these were all close on well lit flat roads. Thanks to the owners and all the staff for making this a great place to stay, hopefully we will be back.

1, Πολύ χάλια δωμάτια, δεν το συστήνω με τίποτα. Κάθε βράδυ συναντάμε και από μια αράχνη. Δεν καθαρίζεται κάθε μέρα, δεν μας έφεραν ούτε χαρτί υγείας. Το νερό στο μπάνιο στάζει και για να το ρυθμίσεις ή θα καείς ή θα παγώσεις. Η πισίνα βρώμικη με ζωύφια κ άμμο. Το πρωινό ελλιπές και χάλια. Μην πάτε με τίποτα. Πληρώσαμε τόσα λεφτά και μας κορόιδεψαν κανονικά.
