A beautiful complex in a pretty part of Crete. Pool quiet, loungers comfortable, water the perfect temperature for a cooling dip. The rooms were spotlessly clean - towels replaced regularly and beds changed, too. Power shower excellent after a day at the beach. Air conditioning helpful to cool room before a restful night. Two real highlights for me. The gardens, trees, and flowers around the Apartments are just beautiful. Lovely smells and environment. The views, too, are to die for. Just stunning. Thanks to Chris and family for an unforgettable week at Villiana ☀️❤️

I can’t criticise anything. It was the perfect week away. A home from home.

Villiana came to feel like a home away from home. Chris was an amazing host, helping us in so ways - big and small. The location was excellent - an easy walk to the local beach and restaurants and central for exploring the whole eastern side of Crete. We loved our 2 bedroom apartment with a table outside under an orange tree and right beside the clean, deep pool and lounge chairs. The pool was a bit chilly at the end of October but it would be amazing in summer. The apartment had everything you need - a simple kitchen, 2 bathrooms, comfy beds, AC and lots of space - both inside and out, clean and a friendly responsive host.

everything about this property is exceptional. Chris greeted us and had arranged a taxi to the villa from the airport. He is warm and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the week. the villa is beautifully maintained and clean with every need catered for. From the beds to the kitchen area and the best part…the balcony with views over the sea and pool. The pool area is clean with loungers and parasols and clips to hold your towels in place. A shower for before and after swimming. The pool itself is clean, crystal clear and the perfect temperature, just right for total relaxation. A short walk across to the beach and shops and restaurants through an underpass so you didn’t have to cross the road. Bus services are amazing too with one every 30mins to heraklion and malia, but they only take cash.

if i’m being really picky the wifi is a bit intermittent but i didn’t really need it and the chairs would be better if they had felt covers on the legs, as the people in the villa above us kept scrapping their chairs across the tile floors at all hours.

Chris the owner met us at reception. What a lovely man! Warm and friendly throughout our stay without being in your face. The studio room was perfect, bed super comfy and air-con super quiet. Lots of little extras included like complimentary water, cleaning products etc. 5 minute walk to town centre but very quiet area. could not fault Villiana and can’t wait to go back.

The apartment was a short 5 minute walk uphill and my husband struggled with this due to his mobility problems. However that was not their fault!

We stayed in a lovely, spacious apartment comprised of two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and located right beside the pool. It had a beautiful, private terrace, perfect for peaceful breakfasts, that was accessed from the kitchen via a large glass door that let in lots of light. Each bedroom had two very comfortable beds. The powershowers were great after a day on the beach. The views from the hotel over Stalis towards the sea were stunning and the planting around the hotel was delightful and enhanced its appearance. The hotel was very close to all local amenities and the lovely beach. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris, who was an excellent and helpful host.

Super spacious and comfortable apartment, with fully equipped kitchen. Short 3 min walk to the beach, supermarket and restaurants, but in a secluded charming corner with a view of the bay. Very nice terrace and pool. Very quiet and bucolic atmosphere and nice neighbors. 5 min by car from Malia, 30 min from the airport. Chris was super kind and helpful, with lots of good advice and tips. I would definitely come back.

Our appartment was very spacious, clean, the pool was perfect and not very occupied. We had nice sea view from our terasse. The communication with Chris was very easy and we got also recommendation for really great restaurants around. Parking slot was always free for our car. The beach and small town with shops and restaurants is in walking distance. Air conditioning and wifi worked well.

Nothing to complain about.

10 min away from the beach, quiet location, very clean. The appartment is well equiped, you can cook your meals at home if you want . It also have an ironing station (with a mini table and iron machine). The staff is very friendly. The swimmingpool was open till 8 a'clock and that was great for the kids. The rooms we stayed in was very large. We also had a big terrace where we could sit.

We have only great words to say about our host Chris. We ended up staying for one night only, and had to cancel the rest of our stay unexpectedly, and he was so forthcoming and so kind and flexible and understanding! Moreover, the unit was lovely, and the complex is wonderful as Chris has put much love and effort into creating comfortable and accommodating environment.

The apartment was very spacious and comfortable for the two of us, and it was great having air conditioning in both the bedroom and living room. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. There was a really nice balcony with a lovely view of the sea, where we enjoyed having breakfast each morning. The pool was also very nice, though we only used it once as the beach was so close (about 5 mins walk). Chris was a great host, very friendly and helpful. Stalida was a great location to be based, relaxed and unpretentious with a nice choice of restaurants and bars and lots of sun loungers available. It's also a good base for trips further east or to Heraklion/Knossos (about a 30 min drive). The beach had lovely calm clear blue water - my partner said it was his favourite of all that we visited in Crete!
