Eleni’s house is just wonderful – beach-front, with two nice patios and all the comforts we needed. The area is very quiet, but close enough to the centre of Stavros to easily reach cafes and tavernas. Eleni and her husband were lovely hosts, who treated us to homemade jam and raki and gave us useful information for beaches, towns and sightseeing in the surroundings. Would definitely recommend!

Go to this place, if you like the sea, beach and a beautiful house direct located to both in a quit and peaceful surrounding. The host are charming and so is their place. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful place with us.

Eleni's house was for us, the perfect place to be for summer holidays in a quiet place. The house is very, very clean, comfortable, simple, not luxurious but authentic and charming with everything you need ( washing machine, wifi, plenty of dishes, towels, olive oil, salt etc) It is located at about 30 meters on foot from the beach. We loved the front beach which is often windy and wavy but natural, authentic and not crowded. If you prefer a more touristic beach there is one 400 m on foot. Eleni and Georgios are adorable persons: they did all they could to make our stay pleasant. They are extremely generous and with a very big heart.Thank you sooooo much. We will keep an unforgettable memory of our stay and highly recommend Eleni's beach house. If we can go back one day, we will not hesitate!

Supr schön Unterkunft direkt am Strand. Wir vier waren begeistert!

Nos hotes etaient d une gentillesse fantastique. Tout etait parfait ce logement a une est parfaitement equipe a 20 pas de la mer. A reserver sans delai.

The house was even better than shown on the photos and was as perfectly located as it could by the quiet and unspoilt beach. The sunsets were fantastic and we could highly recommend sitting at the beachside taverna opposite the house to view them and sampling their amazing cuisine. The hosts, Eleni and George, were so kind and friendly arranging a lift from the airport (20 mins away ) and providing us with bread, fruit and refreshments and lots of information about where the supermarkets were and the bus times (approx 2 hrly and very punctual ( approx 2.30 euros for a trip to Chania 30 mins along the coast. we had Elenis phone number for any problems or questions and we might have.) Stavros had several restaurants to eat at. Zorbas provided great traditional Greek food at very reasonable prices (an enourmous 3 course meal was approximately 10 euros) The lagoon has lovely clean sand and clear water which was perfect for families although it was a lot more crowded than the beach opposite the (URL HIDDEN) is approx 5 mins walk from the house. At the end of our stay Eleni and George provided a feast of home grown salad , Greek bread and cheese with a glass of wine to see us on our way before dropping us off at the airport. We could not have wished for nicer hosts and we will definately going back again as a week whizzed by too quickly.

Hilde's place is lovely, we had a great stay and enjoyed the peaceful and quiet environment at Stavros. It is very accessible and Hilde made it easy for us to get around in town, she is very helpful and dedicated. Right on a quiet lovely beach the place is a perfect place to spend a nice and relaxed vacation.

My stay at Stavros Beach House with Hilde was truely nice. Her house is located directly at a wonderful beach and Stavros is a really chilled out place. I have enjoyed very nice conversations with Hilde and of course her breakfast in on the terrace. Hilde is always very helpful, she picked me up from Chania when there were no busses to Stavros in the next three hours. She has loads of advice about all the places worth to visit on the island. An extra big thanks for helping me get my scarf back which I had left behind! I can definitely recommend to stay at hers!

Great location, right on a fantastic beach, which even in high season is not busy. Hilde supplied a great breakfast ( don't expect bacon & eggs ) fruit, cheese, yoghurt, homemade jams, bread, juice & coffee. Rustic accommodation with plenty of hot water. Good size room & a wonderful host. Even supplied taxi service to airport. Hope to return sometime. Thanks Hilde x

Je me suis sentie chez HIlde comme chez une amie. Un accueil chaleureux malgré l'heure tardive et des aléas du voyages. De bons conseils pour la suite de mon voyage, des petits déjeuners délicieux. Le petit jardin donne directement sur une plage très peu fréquentée où à certaines heures vous pouvez être carrément seul. Rien d'ultra moderne mais les équipements sont amplement suffisants et c'est aussi ce qui fait le charme de la maison. Il y a de jolies balades à faire à pied aux alentours et Chania est facilement accessible en voiture. Pour ceux qui comme moi se déplacent en bus, il faut prendre en compte le peu de départs et de retours et le temps pour organiser la journée.

Our stay with Hilde was only for two nights but it was a great experience. Hilde is a lovely woman who is very knowledgeable of Crete and is fun to chat with. Breakfasts on her patio were delicious and with a view. She gave us great recommendations on directions to beaches on the west coast and how to go about going to Samaria Gorge. She even let us borrow one of her maps. The room was as it is in the pictures and there was a fantastic tavern just steps away from her place on the beach. We would definitely go back to stay at Stavros Beach House.

Signe and I were so fortunate to be Hildes guests for two weeks at her beautiful home. It was all that we were looking for. If you want to experience Crete and have a wonderful base, with a stunning view, comfort at a high level and amazing mornings with great breakfast and nice talks with your hostess, who will provide you with all the information about Crete and Stavros you want, I will highly recommend that you choose Hilde and her amazing beach house as your accommodation during your trip to Crete. The surroundings are great. Stavros is a little village close to Chania, which can be reached both by bus or car. There are a number of good Taverns and some nice beaches, that will suit the most. Further more are the surroundings and the nature stunning. You have privacy and the time to really relax, without the disturbance of every day life. I will highly recommend Hilde and her home at any time to everyone and it's certain, that we will visit her again.

Had the most amazing time with hilde and her place!! The off shore location was perfect and romantic and even better then I thought it was going to be!! She was so sweet and loving and I had so much fun swimming and exploring the ocean every morning!! Her place was beautiful and I felt at home!! She took me to the local market and it was so nice getting local cheese and vegetables and fruit!! I loved every moment!!! I will most defiantly be back!!!

Most of the time it's quite difficult to choose inbetween all the accomodations that are offered on airbnb as most of them are beautiful. But to live at Hilde's is something very special. Her little house is situatated at a wide beach where the sea is cristal clear and just beautiful. There are two rooms available which are both ok, one is facing the mountains and the other one the sea. The breakfast is served on the terrasse and includes a lot of fruits, greek joghurt, home-made jams, a wide selection of honey and delicious coffee as well as fresh orange juice. While sitting on the terrasse you can enjoy the view of the sea and the beach which reminds me of a picture of a holiday folder. The wind, the sound of the waves and the beauty of the sea put you in a holiday mood straight away. Hilde picked us up from the airport and she even gave us a ride back to the airport at the end of our holiday. The transfer was working really well. Hilde is a very open hearted and cosmopolitan woman. It's been a pleasure to chit chat with her during breakfast; our stay was really smooth. From the beginning on she created an atmosphere that we had the feeling to visit a well- known friend. Definately we can recommend Hilde's appartment , it's the best one you can get in that area for sure. For sure we'll come back; but next time we' ll stay at least 1 week instead of just spending 2 days at this beautiful place. It's the perfect place for somebody who is looking for some relaxing holidays or who wants to explore the island with a rented car. Thank's Hilde

Hard to describe in words. We were scared during booking that description wouldn't be accurate, which is often the case. Not in Maria's case, absolutely everything was as described and we would add that description was in the way modest compared to what we found. Beautiful house with everything we needed from start to the end. Maria and Yorgos are exceptional and warm hosts, we felt very welcomed and wish we booked our stay a bit longer :-). Thank you Maria and Yorgos from the bottom of our hearts. Billie and Goran

This is one of the rare times I would like to have the possibility to have 6 stars instead of 5. Stavros is a nice place, close to Chania and good for sea-going, but above everything, Maria was a really outstandingly nice host, and her house is simply wonderful: large, incredibly well equipped and furnished, and in a great position by the sea. We cannot say this in any other way: this was one of the best experiences in the whole of our travels, in Crete or anywhere else. Thank you, Maria, we really did regret having to go away!

La maison de Maria est faite pour passer de merveilleuses vacances au calme et en bordure de mer et proche des tavernes de Stavros. La terrasse est reposante et toujours légèrement ventilée avec une jolie vue sur la mer. La maison est très bien équipée intérieur comme extérieur. Maria et Yorgos sont des personnes adorables qui nous ont accueilli avec panier de fruits, et tout plein de produits fait maison. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison et nous reviendrons surement.

Ich habe mit meinen 2 Töchtern (52, 26 und 28) zum ersten Mal Kreta besucht. Wir hatten natürlich eine gewisse Vorstellung, was wir vorgefunden haben, übertraf jedoch unsere Erwartungen bei Weitem. Die Fahrt vom Flughafen Chania nach Stavros dauert nur 15 Minuten, Maria hat uns an ihrem Haus mit ihrer sehr netten und freundlichen Art in Empfang genommen. Nur einen Katzensprung vom Strand entfernt gelegen, in einer ruhigen Straße, unverbauter Blick zum Meer. Genau das, was wir gesucht haben - nur noch viel schöner! Nachdem Maria uns alles gezeigt bzw. erklärt hatte, waren wir sprachlos: Die Ausstattung ist perfekt, es fehlt an nichts, Küche ist hervorragend (!!!) - also keine abgezählten Teller und Besteck - alles mehr als reichlich vorhanden. Die gesamte Ausstattung und Einrichtung ist super sauber, neuwertig, top gepflegt! Außerdem reichlich Ausstattung für einen erholsamen Badeurlaub: Mehrere Schirme, Luftmatratze, Strandspiele - ebenso für den Terrassenbereich mehrere Liegen, Stühle, Hollywoodschaukel, um entspannt die traumhafte Landschaft mit Blick auf das Meer zu genießen. Maria begrüßte uns nicht nur mit einem selbstgebackenen Kuchen ("Vielen lieben Dank" noch mal dafür), der Kühlschrank war gefüllt mit Getränken, ein riesiger Korb mit frischem Obst stand bereit sowie eine Käseplatte. Des Weiteren sind einige Produkte aus eigener Herstellung in der Küche vorhanden (Marmelade, Honig, Öl,...) und Pflegeprodukte im Bad. Von der Unterkunft aus kann man mehrere Tavernen und Supermärkte zu Fuß erreichen. Der Strand am Haus ist sehr schön und nie voll, aber es ist dort oft windig: Dann ist der Strand zum Baden ungeeignet (wir hatten das Glück, dass es dort 3 Tage windstill war - dann ist der Strand ein Highlight!). Ebenfalls fußläufig gibt es einen 2. Strand, der von Tagesgästen gerne besucht wird, da dort der Film Alexis Sorbas gedreht wurde und landschaftlich nicht nur sehr reizvoll ist - hier ist Baden immer möglich, sehr kinderfreundlich. Alles in allem: Der wirklich perfekte Standort in jeder Beziehung für Gäste, die die Natur und Schönheit Kretas lieben und vor allem die Ruhe. Es gibt keine Nightclubs oder Hotels im Ort - einfach traumhaft. Maria und Jorgos als Gastgeber sind einfach wunderbar - euch noch einmal vielen lieben Dank für die tolle Zeit!

Il nostro soggiorno nella casa di Maria è stato splendido. La casa è proprio a 10m dalla spiaggia, è nuovissima e attrezzata in ogni singolo dettaglio. Maria e Yorgos sono due ospiti attenti, gentilissimi e premurosi. Al nostro arrivo ci hanno fatto trovare tutto il necessario per la colazione e per ogni necessità, tra cui miele, olio e altre cose di loro produzione. Cenare sulla terrazza con la vista e il rumore del mare di sottofondo è stato splendido. Siamo stati benissimo, è stato proprio come essere a casa nostra. Non avremmo potuto immaginare niente di meglio. La consigliamo vivamente a tutti.

Prior to our arrival communication was superb - details of the property, our arrival and any help needed was provided promptly and replies were always within minutes. On arrival we phoned and were met and shown the house, and introduced to the whole family - all of whom speak fluent English (bar the dog for obvious reasons). We were even allowed to arrive early as nobody had booked in before us - which made life a lot easier. The same went for check out - had we not had to be at the airport early then we were told we could stay on as long as we wanted. The pictures of the property do not do it justice. It is beautiful, peaceful and well decorated and appointed. It has a large enclosed shaded garden with an ample veranda with dining area, meaning when we were at home we spent most of our time outside enjoying the surroundings. The property is split across two levels which are not joined internally. There are some steps going down to a room with sofas that convert into beds with a separate bathroom which could sleep two people (perfect for teenagers that wanted their own space). Above this, there is then a short flight of fairly steep steps that go to the veranda and the entrance to the rest of the property which consists of a large sitting room, dining room, kitchen, study area, bathroom and bedroom with vast quantities of storage. Patio doors open from the bedroom onto a separate walled and secluded veranda so that you can sleep with the doors open and you are not overlooked. This also has seating and is shaded by a vine. Beautiful and a good space for drying swimming stuff over night. The kitchen is kitted out with everything you could need to prepare basic food (no food processors or anything fancy but who uses these on holiday anyway?!) and we arrived to a basket of oranges, some biscuits, some orange juice in the fridge and the freezer already stocked with ice cubes (useful given how hot it was). Both Spyros and Maro (his wife) were friendly and helpful, telling us where local shops were, marking on a map (provided) where the best beaches were and what they recommended we see while we were in the area. The whole experience was typically Mediterranean and relaxing, with the property located about a 2 minute short walk from the beautiful, clean, sandy beach and immaculate and sparkly azure blue sea. It is worth noting here, that the area is perfect for young families. The beach is soft and white sand, the sea shelves very gradually so is safe for young children, and there are a number of very good Tavernas (also very child friendly) a moments walk from the beach. There is parking galore so one needn't worry about finding a space and the local shops, which are a short walk up the main road from the beach, provide...

Spyros a répondu par mail ou sms à chacune de nos questions. Nous avons eu l'agréable surprise d'avoir un accueil très chaleureux de la part de Maro (la femme de Spyros). La maison est très belle et à proximité de très bonnes tavernes et de la plage. Bel endroit pour se ressourcer avc des couchers de soleil magnifiques chaque soir. l suffit de faire quelques pas pour être sur la plage! Merci Spyros & Maro.

Einfach super! Das Haus ist wirklich wunderschön und mit zahlreichen liebevollen Details versehen. Alles war sehr sauber und Spiros hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen. Bei unserer Ankunft fanden wir einen ganzen Korb voll frischer Orangen vor und Spiros stand uns auch während des weiteren Aufenthaltes mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. In Realität ist das Haus fast noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Die große Terrasse und der Garten (mit Feigenbaum ;-) und Parkmöglichkeit) runden die ganze Sache perfekt ab. Auch der Strand vor der Haustüre ist wirklich klasse, kristallklares Wasser und eine wahnsinnige Kulisse mit dem hinter der Bucht liegenden Berg. Insgesamt hatten wir eine super Zeit in Stavros und können diese Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen!! Vielen lieben Dank für alles und auf hoffentlich bald, Saskia

If I could give this 6 stars.... I WOULD! This place is unbelievably gorgeous and pictures do not even do it justice. It is a cute little place, very much like a clean beach shack. It is modern in some ways and also beachy and laid back. Literally a 2 minute walk from the beach. Was so accommodating and easy to get around. We had rented a car from the airport but we really didn't even drive around the island that much because everything around us was so much fun! Spyro's place has wonderful AC and even little clothing racks to put outside, to dry our swim suits and such from the ocean. When we arrived, he was there to say hello and he even provided fruit from the neighborhood. Really was a dream come true for me and my friends and it was definitely our favorite place to stay while traveling around the islands of Greece. I would recommend to any of my friends to go and visit and stay with Spryos. Will definitely be back one day!!! :)

Es war alles prima, sehr gepflegt und sauber. Das Haus so liebevoll zu renovieren und zu vermieten war die richtige Entscheidung, Es ist ruhig gelegen und bietet alles was man für einen mehrwöchigen Aufenthalt benötigt. Der Ort mit schönen Stränden und netten Tavernen ist tagsüber gut besucht. Abwechslung am Abend findet man schnell in Chania, Souda und Umgebung, sodass wir viel unterwegs waren. Danke für den freundlichen Empfang, die angebotene und schnelle Hilfe und die immer netten Nachrichten und Erkundigungen um unser Wohlbefinden. Wir fühlten uns fast wie zu Hause, vielen Dank und auf ein Wiedersehen!

We are a family with two children aged 8 and 12 respectively and we have here a very great experience! Spyros is a really friendly and welcoming person as well as with a great taste in the décor that makes his home already part of the holiday (priceless breakfast under the porch in front of the vine and the fig and the central courtyard in which you can take refuge for a pleasant reading in the shade). Very clean. The house is equipped with everything you need, including washing machine and dishwasher with all the necessities to use them. The location is also very good, 100 meters far from the beautiful Bay of Stavros. We also enjoyed the proximity to the tavern by Zorbas where at reasonable prices it was possible to taste almost every evening a great Cretan cousine. Surely we will be back. Siamo una famiglia con due bambini di 8 e 12 anni rispettivamente ed abbiamo avuto in questo luogo un'esperienza meravigliosa. Spyros è una persona veramente cordiale ed accogliente oltre che con un ottimo gusto nell'arredamento che rende la sua casa già parte della vacanza (impagabile la colazione sotto il portico di fronte alla vite e al fico ed il cortiletto centrale nel quale potersi rifugiare per una gradevole lettura all'ombra). Ottima la pulizia. Ottima anche la posizione a 100 metri dalla splendida baia di Stavros. Abbiamo apprezzato molto anche la vicinanza con la Taverna Da Zorbas dove a prezzi contenuti è stato possibile assaggiare pressochè tutte le sere un'ottima cucina cretese. Sicuramente ritorneremo.

The hosts - Spiros and Maro were very kind and helpful even before we land in Crete and during all our great vacation - providing everything we needed , answering quickly to our SMS when anything we asked for. The house - was beautiful and convenient. The kitchen was accessorized, it was fun sitting and dinning in the huge veranda enjoing the garden. We liked it a lot - Perfect! The location - was perfect too - a very short walk from the beach and next door to the very nice 'Zorba's Taverna' Thanx to Spiros and Maro - We rate this vacation - 10 out of 10 Amit and Zohar

We had a great time in Stavros in the house of Spyros. We were really surprised how much space we had in and around the house. We had an heartwarming welcome from Spyros and his wive Mari. They were always availble for questions. The house has everything you want for a relaxing hollyday. Its beautiful designed. The equipment is good. The garden is great, even with a shower! To the sea its just a 100 meter walk. We will remember this as one of the best hollyday locations ever. So we are very thankful to Spyros and Mari for there hospitality.

We had a wonderful time in this house! The hosts are so lovely and caring. The apartment is directly located at a beautiful calm beach and is equipped with everything you need. Perfect for a couple. I would suggest the apartment to everyone who wants to get up in the morning and have a swim or breakfast by the beach right way.

Joli petit appart bien équipé , ( un peu sombre) bonne literie, internet , tv , salle de bain un peu étroite . Dommage que l'appartement n'ai pas la vue sur la mer mais sur le quartier arrière. Le jardin avec vue sur mer, BBQ transates et salon de jardin est partagé avec un autreppartement. La plage est à deux pas , très bon séjour

Wer nicht Luxus benötigt, sondern ein großes alleinstehendes Ferienhaus mit Grundstück, ist hier genau richtig! Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich, so war es für ihn kein Problem, uns zu viert vom Flughafen abzuholen, dazu noch mit zwei Autos (eines extra für unser Gepäck!). Im Haus erwartete uns dann ein Obstteller, Wasser und Raki zur Begrüßung. Das Haus selbst ist mit drei Schlafzimmern sehr geräumig. Die Küche ist groß und mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Auf dem Grundstück befindet sich ein gemauerter Grill, den wir auch benutzt haben. Angenehm ist es zudem mit den zwei vorhandenen Fahrrädern. Denn zu den Stränden oder zum (Brot)einkauf muss man schon etwas laufen, aber per Rad alles kein Problem! Ich kann die Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen.

The Aggelos house is the perfect place to visit Chania and the surrounding area. I sincerely recommend to those who want a simple, functional home and want to spend a little. And Zorba beach, a natural swimming pool on a small bay, within a 10-minute walk, is a great place to sunbathe, take a bath and relax.

Stavros is a lovely village not far from Chania and airport. The house is situated 10 minutes walk from 2 beaches, one that is perfect for young children the other bigger one is better for adults or older children as the walk into the sea is bit rocky. We loved our holidays, the house was perfect size for us (5 adults + 2 young children) plenty of outside space including a nice BBQ section that we used many times. There are several nice tavernas / restaurants near by. Host were very helpful with many great recommendations, they treated us with some home made delicatessen including fruits, jams and conserves made by Dimitris mum, and raki to start our stay Greek style. There were also bottles of water in fridge, plenty of fresh towels and toiletries etc. The Hosts Dimitris and Artemis send us messages during stay to check if there is anything that we might need, communication was great, welcome amazing, we felt as if we were staying at our friends house.. Really genuine people with lots of positive energy. Ps. There were 2 bikes available for us to use which was also a nice touch. Thanks for having us! 5 starts!

We came with our two doughters for a week stay at Dimitris' house. We could not believe how beautiful the house was. Comfortable and so well equipped. We spoke to Dimitris before and told him how old our girls are, and when we got to the house a small princess bed awaited our 3 years old. Dimitris waited for us at 3am at the house, when we got from the flight, and made sure we got in comfortably. In the morning we found fresh fruits and home made jams (awesome jams his mother makes) in the frigde, and mineral water too. He explained to us about the places around, where to go and where to eat. Towels and fresh sheets were in abundance, and really everything we needed. We willl most definitely go back. We had the best vacation. Stavros is great and we definitely hit the Jack pot when booking this house for our vacation.

We got really warm welcome from Dimitris and Artemis, they are pleasant and caring hosts. The house is nice, clean, spacious and cosy, it has big yard, 10 minutes walking distance from the beach. Great location on a quiet street. We had really lovely and relaxing time in Stavros. There are some nice taverns and beaches around, 25 minutes to Chania by car. During our stay we needed smaller frying pan and saucepan because those in the house were too big, our hosts did their best to attend our needs which was great, they really care! We would definitely recommend to stay in Sun and Sand house. We plan to be back)))

It is very cozy, comfort and stilish house. Alexandr and all his family was very friendly and helpful. We fell like we live with big Greek family, who care about all our wishes, clean house, but absolutely dont distribe us. And delicious homemade pastry from Alexandr mama's was wonderful

Хорошо отдохнули в конце июля. Очень уютный домик, со всем необходимым. Близко два хороших пляжа. Во общем все отлично.)))

We've had great two weeks in small house in Stavros. We received warm welcome from Spiros and also seval good advices where to go and what is worth to see. House is nice, small but exactly as described. There is basic kitchen equipment for making the breakfast or light dinner. Bonus is laundry machine which we used few times. There is also TV and other media equipment in the house but we didn't use it at all, since we have had other thing to do :) . Behind the house is also safe place where you can park the car. There are two beaches in Stavros but we have traveled most of the days to other places since there are so many fantactic places to see in West Crete. In Stavros and neigbourhood there are several tavernas where you get decent meal - like Almyriky, Bahar but also Elena's and Mama's Place. We had nice holidays in Stavros and Spirose's house. We may come back again.

We, a family of 4, had an excellent week in Stavros in April 2015. Spiros was at the house to greet us and kindly provided beach toys for the children. The location of the house is perfect, right next to different kind of beaches (sand, rocks or for swimming). The 2 mini-markets and 4 taverns in Stavros and the city of Chania nearby make it a comfortable stay. Will recommend it to anybody.

El apartamento se ajusta a lo expuesto en el anuncio y en algunos aspectos lo mejora. Somos una familia con tres niños y estuvimos cómodamente instalados. La habitación donde dormían los tres era enorme y las camas también. No necesitamos utilizar ni la cama supletoria ni el sofá. La atención de Spyros y de su padre fue excelente, desde las indicaciones para llegar hasta los detalles de bienvenida. También nos facilitó un arsenal de juguetes de playa para los niños. La cocina, tanto por elementos como por utensilios es bastante completa. Se puede cocinar perfectamente para una familia como la nuestra. Tiene un gran supermercado a 12 minutos en coche. El entorno es extraordinario. A 300 metros está la zona de rocas con la montaña al fondo donde grabaron la escena del Sirtaki de "Zorba el griego". La playa está a cinco minutos caminando. La playa de Kalathas está a 8 minutos en coche. Es un buen punto para ver la zona oeste de la isla, la más bonita. Por la noche sólo se escucha el sonido de las olas. Durante el día se puede disfrutar comiendo o tomando un café viendo el mar. La relación calidad-precio es inmejorable. Una casa para disfrutar

Nice comfortable house at quiet seaside. Beautiful views of waves and mountains. Spiros is very hospitable.

Near to the beach, sea view, calm, privacy and nice garden.20 minutes from Chania (traffic situation in the town was terrible) car is necessary in this area. Spiros was very friendly. Some things could be improved: dishwasher missing, bed is creaking, one pan more.

A lovely week in stavros and a great location. The house is set up with everything you need. A minute walk to the few restaurants in stavros and you must make a visit to sunset cafe on the beach!!

Me and my family stayed here for 10 days in July 2014. Spiros was very nice, always available for any request. The house was simply perfect for us, with a big room with 3 beds for my children, and the bedroom for us, as well as the kitchen and the bathroom. The seaside is all around the house, with a very beautiful beach perfect for children, but also rocks. Stavros, the village, is relaxing with a very few tavernas and mini markets, but Chania, the main town of the zone, is far 15 minutes by car and has everything ...and is very very beautiful!! The car is necessary to travel because Creta has meravillous beaches that deserve to be seen!!

Останавливались здесь 2 семьями с детьми. По организации оснащения в доме, есть все, кондиционеры в каждой комнате, на кухне все (плита, посудомойка, кофеварки, холодильник, чайник и т.д.) кроме микроволновки. Полноценная всего одна ванная комната, вторая совмещенная с сан.узлом (рядом с унитазом висит душ, почти над ним). Были проблемы с насекомыми, на кухне муравьи, в спальнях пауки (в день 2-3 штуки приходилось убивать), мухи и комары не в счет. Еще одна проблема, в этом доме живет несколько семей. Каждый день мы слушали начинающего пианиста, иногда его попытки научится играть заканчивались после 23:00. Плюсы: - Рядом 2 магазина с необходимым - Отличный пляж в 7 минутах ходьбы - Отличные рестораны в 7 минутах ходьбы (рядом с пляжем) - Своя парковка - Отличный вид с террасы Минусы: - Насекомые - Шумные соседи - Одна ванная комната - Как в отеле, достаешь чип с ключами - все электричество в доме отключается (кондиционер на проветривание не оставишь, а дом за день нагревается). - Медленный интернет (по вечерам около 1Мбит).

Excellent home for a visit to western part of the Crete island, the host was suggested some really nice places to visit, beaches and restaurants. Thanks, Georgia

This was actually my second stay in this house, and all was great again. I love the location and the house is really comfortable and cosy. I think Wi fi has been upgraded since last time and was running faster! I m definitely staying there again at my next visit. Thanks Georgia :)

Best location, for a wonderfull place!

We spent wonderful moments at Alessia Beach House. Georgia was very welcoming and helpful. We met our expectations in what it was promising. This house is in a great location near to amazing beaches of Akrotiri giving a feeling of serenity, comfort, warmth and relaxation. The Stavros beach is only 3 minutes away. Our accommodation was more than pleasant. I definitely recommend her apartment to everyone.

We spent a lovely week at Alessia Beach House. Georgia is very welcoming and helpful. I would recommend this house to everyone.

Komfortowe lokum dla dwóch rodzin w sumie z trójką małych dzieci. Do naszej dyspozycji było całe pierwsze piętro domu z osobnym wejściem (na parterze mieszkała druga rodzina). Na miejscu czekały na nas wszelkie udogodnienia dla maluchów- dwa wysokie krzesła, dwa łóżeczka, zabawki, nocnik. Giorgia była z nami w stałym kontakcie do dnia przyjazdu - radziła co zabrać, jaka jest aktualnie pogoda, pomogła nam także zarezerwować auta. Na miejscu opowiadziała nam gdzie warto pojechać, gdzie warto zjeść, której plaży unikać, a jaka jest najlepsza dla małych dzieci. Plusem lokalizacji jest jej bliskość do lotniska (20 minut autem), przepięknej Chani (20 minut autem), supermarketu (10 minut autem), dobrze zaopatrzonego sklepu czynnego od 7 do północy oraz Tawerny (3 minuty pieszo) oraz do piaszczystej plaży (10 minut pieszo). Minusem - dość daleko do Heraklionu czy Elafonisi (2 godziny autem). Polecamy pobyt u Giorgii, zwłaszcza w maju gdy jest dopiero początek sezonu na Krecie także nie ma jeszcze tłumów turystów (a juz jest koło 25-30 stopni).

Georgia was welcoming and was great at responding in a timely manner. Accommodation was nicely updated and was in a nice quiet area near Stavros mountain and beach (2 min drive). Two small markets approx 200 meters from the villa. Only thing I would suggest improving is a shower curtain in the ensuite.

I highly recommend George's apartments! Everything was like in the description and the location of the rooms is good and quiet as well. Our host was very very kind and helped us when- and wherever needed! He really took his time for us and made our stay even more comfortable. I can just confirm what the other reviews say!

George and his family made our stay in Stavros wonderful! Upon arrival, we were greeted by George who is kind, sweet and very accommodating. He welcomed us with fresh fruit and vegetables grown from their garden and supplied us with a taste of their local liquor. He immediately provided us with information for local beaches as well as timetables for buses to more distant yet, incredible beaches. George also made suggestions for local cuisines and places to shop. Prior to our arrival, we inquired about bike rentals. He provided us with 2 bicycles to get around the town of Stavros, which not only made our stay more pleasant, but also convenient. The room is exactly as depicted in pictures. It's incredibly clean, with appliances and amenities made to make your visit more comfortable. It's a perfect apartment for 2-3 people. When leaving, George provided us with transportation to the airport. His family was hospitable and ensured we enjoyed our visit prior to us leaving. Overall, George was dependable, available and incredibly kind and friendly. We had a very positive experience and we felt that we made a friend. We absolutely recommend staying at the Skamagkas apartments!

George was a fantastic and generous host, and the apartment was perfect - spacious, clean and newly fitted, with a large balcony and great views. It was closer to the beaches than we thought, too! Only a 10-15 min walk, by way of a couple of mini markets that were useful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the apartment again and will be recommending it to friends and colleagues :-)

You haven't properly experienced Crete until you have stayed with George and his parents. The apartment is of a newer construction, has everything you need, is nicely furnished and is extremely clean. But the best part are the hosts. Not only did they give us fresh fruits grown in the garden on the property as well as their home made raki but they hosted a BBQ for the guests with plenty of amazing home made greek food accompanied by greek music and traditional greek dancing. It was a truly an authentic and unforgettable experience. George is an extremely friendly and helpful host full of recommendations on places to go and eat as well as how to get there. We sat down with him multiple times during our stay for his help on planning our activities. By the end of it we would call George our friend. Do yourself a favor and stay with George and his wonderful family. PS you should see his father's amazing greek dancing.

George appartment are very clean, exactly as in the pictures and located at approximately 20 minutes from Chania (and the roas between Chania and Stavros offers breathtaking Views)! George and his mother are absolutely lively people. We really appreciated all the small attentions : fresh fruits, access to the garden, beach umbrella and towels and of course : the raki :) we would definitely recommend Georges' place if you plan on staying close to Chania or hike the Samaria Gorge.

So far, our experience at George's and his parents' little paradise was the best here in Crete. The place was so beautiful and clean, fully furnished. We were welcome with some fruits, raki and home made pastries. George was really helpful to discover all Crete. We felt like home here. He and his parents are very king and generous peolple, we had a real human and cultural sharing here. It's the place to be in Crete ! For sure we'll come back again !!!

We stay 5 days in Yanni's house. The studio is just few meters from the beach. It was very clean and calm. Yanni had prepared a lot of things for our breakfasts. He adviced us about what to visit in this part of Creta. There was WiFi, hot water, and the kitchen is well equiped. There is a beautiful place to eat at night. The dog is very kind and he didn't come inside. Thanks to Yanni and his house we had a very good stay.

Yannis is a wonderfull host who made u's feel very welcome The house is very Well equipped and the breakfast was overwelming the fridge was filled with food and drinks The vieuw from the house is beautifull and the besch is two minutes walking from the house A pardise on the Island of Crete Ben

The house is perfect, you can find more than you need. Yanni is a very kind person and you can ask him everything you need. His home is very quiet and clean. We spent there great days.. Near the house (30 metri) you can find a big sandy beach.

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

beautiful place , great views, comfortable

Great house with the sea view. Pool with sea water. Perfect to stay, when you have car. Half an hour to Chania by car. Manolis is a great host.

The apartment of Manolis Vladakis was a great place to stay with a very nice view over the sea. The contact with Manolis was pleasant. He is an open person that invites you to ask any question you like. Although he is living somewere else he is present every day and answers text messages fast. He is always willing to help you out and provide a pleasant stay. The apartment was very clean en well maintained. We would really recommend this apartment.

Località stupenda. Appartamento perfetto. Grande attenzione agli ospiti. Consigliatissimo!

Nous avons passés 5 supers jours dans le logement qui est propre, fidèle aux photos et fonctionnelle. Quel bonheur de prendre son petit déjeuner sur terrasse face à l'immense piscine et à la mer! L'hôte est très accessible, donne facilement de très bons conseils de balades. Le ménage a même été fait une fois avec changement des draps et des serviettes! Le seul petit hic: les matelas ne sont pas des plus confortables.

Lovely apartments in a beautiful setting. The apartment was clean and well cared for and the swimming pool was lovely. The views and the sunset were stunning. It was great to wake up every morning to look at the sea and hear the waves lapping on the rocks.

Nous avons passé 2 nuits à Stavros. La maison est impeccable, très propre, tout est fourni, le ménage est compris. Manolis nous a fourni un lit pour notre bébé. Il a été très disponible pour notre arrivée. La vue est magnifique, l'endroit est très calme.

Perfect view, silent and clean area, close to the Chania airport (approx 20 min by car). Thank you Manolis for very usefull travel tips!

Great and spacious apartment, had everything we needed and even more than expected. Hosts were very kind, welcoming and helpful if anything needed. The beach next to the house is very nice and not crowded, however when it gets windy it has waves - but in 10-15min walking distance is the "Zorba" beach which, though much more crowded, has always calm water and is great for kids.

This ideal house on the beach is very clean and spacious with a big terrace. Even better than on the pictures. There is a nice and quiet surrounding, The beach is not crowded at all. Ideal for families. The many taverna can be rached by 5-10 min walking. Very kind hosts, they welcomed us in the house. We will come back.

Everything was perfect! Very friendly and helpful hosts giving us total freedom. Big, clean, comfortable house equipped with everything what you can need.Just by the see. It was much more than we expected. We found there peace, beautiful views and a lot of possibilities of sending free time. Thank you!

Niovi and his family's place is absolutely perfect for a stay by the sea. It's convenient, with some restaurants and shops near the appartment. The beach is just in front of the sea, and this beach area is calm, tourists who prefer beach chairs and be with eachothers don't comme around here, which makes it so quiet and pleasant ! My 3 children and I have been very well welcomed, with a cake and some local vegetables. But what I have appreciated the most is their willingness and kindness, we quicly felt just like home ! I of course highly recommend this appartment !

Very nice and friendly people, we fell to be at home. The familiar hotel is in a beautiful location a few steps from the see. The apartments are very quiet, clean, spacious and baby friendly. The staff helped us a lot to find nice place to visit and good restaurants to eat original Creta food. Strongly recommended.

Extremely happy with the apartment, hosts were very helpful with whatever we needed and even drove us to the shop when we first arrived. Amazing views out to sea and would recommend a car to make the most of the trip.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautifull. Nature, accomodation, pool and the whole place is charming, clean and wonderful for a holiday to stay. If you have no car, you must be good in walking to reach the sandy beaches, the super market etc. but it is possible by feet and bus.

One of the best accommodation on the Island of Crete (and not only): incredible kindness of Giannis' and his family and co-workers; perfect cleaning of the apt. and common parts; 24/7 availability and support; upgrade available and immediately realized; attention to the details (not only client related); superb position; wi-fi granted and working; parking lot; beautiful pool (sunset for free!); separated and divided stuctures for each owner really. All this festures make this the first choice on airbnb not only for staying in Chania Region but even more for having holyday in the entire Island of Crete

He was very helpful with every problem and question I had. The place and the view are amazing! But because we were at the beach every day we didn't enjoy the pool. The place is perfectly clean and has everything you need! I totally recommend it!

Great place and the host was very welcoming and helpful. I would recommend strongly.

Great Place with a perfect view! Everything Went easy and uncomplicated! We will come back!!!

Erst einmal möchten wir uns für den wirklich tollen und unkomplizierten Email Verkehr bedanken. Fabio hat uns hier wirklich sehr schnell geholfen bei Fragen rund um das Haus. Die Bilder entsprechen exakt dem was man sich auch verspricht. Lediglich der Strand ist nicht ganz so leicht zu erreichen sollte man kein Fahrzeug zur Verfügung haben. Aber wir hatten 2 sehr liebe und zuvorkommende Bewohner vor Ort.(ein Geschwisterpaar das sich scheinbar um die Villa und den Pool kümmert) Diese haben uns 2 Fahrräder zur Verfügung gestellt mit denen man in knapp 8 Minuten am Zorbas Strand war. Besser wäre dennoch wenn man sich gleich bei Ankunft auf Kreta ein Wagen mietet. Aber das sollte man sowieso immer machen wenn man auf Kreta Urlaub macht. Daher kein Kritikpunkt. Wir, Jana und Martin, haben uns wirklich sehr wohl dort gefühlt. Wir mögen es generell mit den landesüblichen Lebensmitteln zuhause selbst zu kochen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der TOP gepflegte Pool. Wir waren täglich schwimmen und es war IMMER sauber. Einziger "leichter" Kritikpunkt ist hier das WLAN. Dieses ist leider nicht stabil und auch sehr langsam sobald man es mal findet. Aber uns hat das nicht gestört, da wir dort waren um Urlaub zu machen. Man muss aber auch fairerweise sagen, dass auf der kompletten Insel das Internet sehr schlecht ist. Selbst dank des freien Roaming hatten wir selten wirklich guten Empfang trotz 4G Anzeige. TV auf dem Zimmer mit wirklich allen wichtigen Sendern aus sämtlichen Ländern der Welt. Wir hatten eine Klimaanlage und einen Ventilator auf dem Zimmer. Aber bei über 36 Grad hat die Klimaanlage nicht mehr wirklich mithalten können. Darum hat der Ventilator uns die Nächte gerettet. Wir geben 4,5 von 5 möglichen Punkten und hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in der Villa sowie auf Kreta. Danke Für den wirklich super fairen Preis war es eine Super Unterkunft!

Tout simplement, parfait ! Petite oasis pour se ressourcer ...

Un séjour mémorable dans cette villa. Un havre de paix et de tranquillité entouré de chèvres et de montagnes. Convient aussi bien, en couple, en famille qu'entre amis. Les hôtes ont répondus à nos questions dans les plus brefs délais. Seule contrainte : disposer d'une voiture car on est assez loin du centre, c'est le prix de la tranquillité. À recommander sans hésitation !

Es war alles einfach nur perfekt für unsere Familie! Liebevoll eingerichtetes und bestens ausgestattetes Haus, traumhafte Lage - und vor allem liebenswerte, umsichtige und ganz tolle Gastgeberinnen, die uns immer wieder verwöhnten. Wir können diese Unterkunft bestens empfehlen.

Very nice place. Has been renovated not long ago so everything seems new and clean. It's right on the beach. There are taverns and restaurants close by but the house is pretty isolated, in a good way. Ioanna and Eva are very nice and helped us with everything we needed.

Wir erlebten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Evas hellen, sehr sauberen und freundlich eingerichteten Haus. Was mich (als Mutter) wirklich gefreut hat: In der Küche waren all die kleinen Dinge vorhanden, die den Aufenthalt für Familien mit Kindern leichter machen: ausreichend (!) Geschirrtabs für den Geschirrspüler, Küchenpapier um Kinderhände und Kindermünder zu reinigen, Waschmittel für die Waschmaschine ... Kleinigkeiten, die machen, dass man sich "zuhause" fühlt. Danke Eva, dass du an diese Dinge denkst! Ein sehr netter Kontakt und eine hervorragende Kommunikation. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

We would highly recommend this house. We loved the location, right on the beach. What a beautiful view! We had a fun week. The host was awesome and very helpful.

What more could I say than 'we loved it!' Everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable time in Crete and wow what a location. Watching beautiful sunsets across the sea from the patio and lulled to sleep by the breaking waves. Eva was very welcoming and has made the Beach house feel like a home from home as well as giving good advice about things to see. We hope to come back soon.

La casa perfecta de veraneo! Reservé la casa en el mes de Enero para ir en Agosto. Las expectativas eran muy altas y tengo que decir que toda la experiencia las superó ampliamente. La casa está en un entorno paradisíaco, a 2 minutos caminando de una playa y a 7 minutos de la Golden Bay (En donde se filmó Zorba el griego). El enclave es perfecto. Nos recibió Eva y nos explicó todo el funcionamiento así como la recomendación de los mejores lugares para ir a comer&cenar y mejores playas de la zona. Nos dejaron la nevera preparada con todos los productos básicos para un buen desayuno. Gran detalle por su parte! La casa es perfecta. Moderna, perfectamente insonorizada, con todas las comodidades, TV & a/c en todas las habitaciones, persianas automáticas, dos baños. Tiene dos terrazas, en una se puede desayunar, cenar y contemplar el mar, y en la otra se puede comer y merendar viendo el otro lado de la bahía. La casa tiene todas las comodidades y más. Nos podríamos haber quedado a vivir felices! Ha sido una grata experiencia y una de las mejores vacaciones. Desde la terraza grande se puede contemplar el atardecer, es algo precioso, el sol ocultándose en el mar. El pueblo también es muy bonito, tiene buenos restaurantes y supermercados, es muy tranquilo, muy relajado. Experiencia muy positiva y casa muy recomendable. Muchas gracias Eva and Ioanna por la excelencia demostrada en todo.

Here is the beach house experience in all of Chania. Magnificent view of the sea, and elegant, thoughtfully designed guest house, and the best of all hosts. The very top of experience.

Highly recommend! We had an amazing time! The house is charming, perfectly located with a stunning terrace view. 2 beaches, several restaurants/ taverns and two little supermarkets within 5 min walking distance. Ioanna and Eva are fantastic hosts who made us very welcome to their place. Next time we are coming back to Crete we know already where we would love to stay, in this great house!

I have to agree with everyone else who has stayed here, it was the most amazing house with the best location. We were 2 couples each with a small child and the house was big enough for us. The kitchen was great to cook breakfast in every morning with a small supermarket walking distance away. We drank coffee on the veranda every morning before we set off. The rocky beach with the Sunset Beach Restaurant was beautiful with nice sunsets to watch. The second beach within walking distance was beautiful to swim and tan at. Chania was a short distance drive. The Monestary was very close and absolutely beautiful. Andie was so friendly and easily reachable. The airport was so close in driving distance to the house as well. The house was clean, nicely furnished and the shower outside was great for coming back from the beach. The neighbors played their music until 10 every night then it was quiet. Mornings were quiet with the exception of the roosters crowing which my daughter loved. Andie had left us amazing olive oil, beer and some milk and snacks for the kids which was so nice. The house has a washing machine which was great for us and we were able to dry our clothes outside. I can't really think of any complaint about staying at this house as it completely fulfilled our needs. This was probably one of our best vacations ever and we loved every minute of the house and it's location! Thanks Andie for your hospitality!

It is nice and safe place to stay with childrens. We had nice time with 17 month old twins boys. Everything rhat you need is arroynd, few shops, restourans and tavernas, sea is just 100 meters from your home;)

The house is really cozy and has a big yard with beautiful flowers and bushes. Our children enjoyed playing there and we had some grown-up time for ourselves. The beaches are less than 5 minutes walk - you can choose whether to splash in a shallow sandy bay or catch waves on shelly open-sea beach. There are several taverns nearbuy and a supermarket with everything you might need. We drove around the island and decided that Stavros is a best place to stay on Crete for a calm authentic Greek vacation - not crowdy, not expensive and not far from Chania which is a beautiful town with a lot to see! Andie gave us some really useful tips about Chania and a welcome fruit plate. Besides her family makes really good olive oil which we enjoyed. We're happy we chose Andie's house for our family holiday and strongly recommend this place!

Excellent Andie and the house, very comfortable. Stavros in general is great, calm but with good and friendly restaurants. I would strongly suggest it for families. And Chania is also a great place to visit, very near, the port is wonderful, in a sunny and warm (rather hot) climate. Thank you Andie and all the greek people. Efharisto!

I can just agree with the others, nice clean house. It's amazing...lovely outside space for eating. A very nice welcome from Andies parents! The bay/lagoon beach which is 5 min walking is awesome. Good and safe for kids. Then you have a beach that is even closer which have an amazing sunset view. Close to minimarkets, which have good pricing. For restaurants in Stavrous we liked Zorbas and Alkymiri (if i got it right). Good thing to rent a car if you want to travel around a bit. No ATM's in Stavrous. Don't know if the restaurants take cards. It's a very small village, not many tourists...which I like. With car it's fast and easy to chania or anything else...would love to go there again.

We loved staying at Andie's beautiful home, which is located next to a gorgeous beach, as indicated in the posting. The home was spacious enough for four adults and we could have had at least one more or a couple of kids. There is a lovely garden surrounding the property and we appreciated the attention to detail in providing a bottle of fresh, local olive oil, local honey, and Cretan rusk that they left for us. We're not sure if this is an anomoly or not, but we were staying over a weekend, and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the next-door neighbors started playing music very loudly at 8AM until late at night which made it difficult for us to sleep. This wasn't a problem during the week, just on the weekends. The location is fantastic, as mentioned previously, the local beach is wonderful and we went swimming pretty much every day. It was great to have a kitchen to cook some of our own meals. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay in this cheerful cottage and would definitely stay again!

It was a marvelous time, just PERFECT. The house has everything you need, 2 beaches right close to the door - one is not only beautiful but calm and remains calm even when the sea becomes unquiet. We were with our little daughter and the conditions were great for staying with a baby. Supermarkets, some restaurants and lovely people around: patient, polite and helpful - you feel really welcome on the island. Andie is a great and warm person, I could always count with her help, she gave us some small souvenirs when we came and she even gave a nice gift to us when we left. This things make one easy and happy and make me smile when I remind the time I spent in the house :)

Wonderful place, close to the beach and really confortable. Family friendly, the house has an enjoiable garden fully equipped for ‪outdoor activities. Andie and her parents are very kind and helpful. At our arrival We found a special welcome basket full of typical local products. One unforgettable week. Thanks
