The apartment is in a perfect location with beautiful views of the sea and the mountains. Spacious enough for five people to stay comfortably, and easily accessible even without a car, as there is a bus stop nearby. We received a warm welcome – we were able to arrive earlier, leave our luggage, and spend some time by the pool. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, although cooking sometimes required a bit of “Greek patience.” Fortunately, we discovered it during our trip, and it didn’t stop us from fully enjoying two weeks of relaxation. A special thanks to Chris, who made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. He was attentive, friendly, and truly contributed to the high Booking rating. Stalis itself has a wonderful sandy beach, which made our holiday even more enjoyable.

What a fantastic apartment we stayed in. Chris was fantastic in communicating prior to our visit and throughout. We stayed in the Mirela Apartment and it was beautiful. Beds- comfy, double bed in bedroom & sofa bed and another single in sitting room. Balcony- AMAZING!! Panoramic views, big table with 6 chairs, a BBQ and everything you would need for this. Lots of lovely touches, air con included, tea/ coffee, book shelves, very well equipped kitchen with full fridge freezer. Has a pool with about 10 beds. Always able to get a bed at some point during day. Bit of a hill to walk back from bars/ restaurants/ beach, but views on way up helped! There is an underpass to cross the busy road, about 5min down onto main strip from the apartments. Would book here again tomorrow!! Such a lovely Find and a very friendly and welcoming host!!

Chris, the host, was excellent providing good communication before and during our stay, lots of advice on transport, restaurants and places to visit and generally did everything he could to help and make our stay more enjoyable. The apartment was clean, spacious, well lit and airy and had good outside space. The facilities and equipment were all good, The location was excellent, quiet but less than 5 mins walk to a supermarket, beach and restaurants, and also a bus stop.

There was nothing not to like, the only minor improvement for ideal would have been a washing machine.

The property was superbly kept by owner Chris, we had the 1 bedroom apartment called Mirella which had an enormous terrace with panoramic views of the mountains and sea, the terrace also had a hugh bbq with charcoal supplied. The property has 8 apartments so the pool area was never busy and sun beds were always available. Stalis main strip with lots of restaurants, bars and shops just 500 metres away. Chris the owner very friendly with advise on tours, site seeing, restaurants etc. We found Villiana the perfect accommodation for our stay in Crete.

Nothing

Everything about our stay at Villiana was just perfect, so close to the beach and all the restaurants. There is also a little shop at the bottom of the road which has everything you would need. The facilities were spot on - everything worked well and the kitchen was well stocked. Pool area great and never too busy so we always had a sun bed. The bottle of wine and Chris the owner was the icing on the cake! Highly recommend and when we return to Stalis we will be booking a sea view room again. Stunning views!

Nothing we disliked.

Fantastic host, great communication The apartment had everything you could need- however we spent all our time sat on the huge balcony area which had the most wonderful view of the sea, what better way to while away your time than watching the boats, jet skis and paragliders. Just over the main road with safe underpasses to cross over. 5 mins walk to the beach and all amenities

Small downside is the entrance to the apartments was via about 10 steep steps which could be an issue if mobility issues...a handrail may help with this.

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!
