Es war perfekt!

Wir wurden direkt von der Bushaltestelle "Blue sea" empfangen und abgeholt und zum Haus gefahren. Das Haus war genauso wie auf den Fotos zu sehen. Wunderschön:) Wir durften alles im Haus benutzen, sodass wir uns echt heimisch und Wohl gefühlt haben. In den 8 Tagen wurde das Haus zweimal geputzt und die Handtücher sowie die Bettwäsche wurden gewechselt, auch Toilettenpapier und Küchenpapier wurden uns persönlich von der Mutter von Alexandros gebracht. Das Haus hat einfach eine super Aussicht aufs Meer sowie auf die Berge. Es liegt etwas abseits und der Weg vom Strand/Stadt ist zu Fuß manchmal sehr mühsam gewesen bei der Hitze. Hat man jedoch einen Quad, die man dort sehr günstig mieten kann, dann liegt das Haus einfach an einem super Ort. Auf der Terrasse haben wir die meiste Zeit verbracht, es ist morgens sowie abends, einfach ein schöner entspannter Ort. Sollten wir nochmal nach Kreta fliegen, würden wir Alexandros und seine Familie aufjedenfall wieder kontaktieren. Thank you for everything again!

Es ist ein kleines, hübsches Cottage über Stalis gelegen. Alles drin, was man benötigt. Von Kaffeemaschine über Schwämme, Spüli, Clopapier, Waschmaschine, Liegen bis him zu roten Nagellack und Scrabbel auf Griechisch natürlich! Morgens sieht man die Sonne über dem Meer aufgehen, ein Traum!

Alexandros und seine Eltern haben uns sehr nett willkommen geheißen, obwohl wir so spät ankamen. Sogar der Kühlschrank war mit dem Nötigsten gefüllt worden :) Das gut ausgestattete Haus liegt sehr schön am Hang oberhalb des sehr touristischen Stalida, von dem man allerdings nichts mitbekommen muss. Außerhalb der Sommersaison ist es eher ruhig dort. Mehrere kleine Supermärkte sind auch fußläufig zu erreichen. Das Haus war sehr sauber, der Garten ist toll gepflegt und man mag sich gern dort aufhalten. Wir haben das Haus als Ausgangspunkt zu Rennradtouren (die gute Straße auf das Lassithi-Plateau beginnt 5 min weiter) und Wanderungen genutzt, dafür ist die Lage ideal. Wir hatten einen wirklich schönen Urlaub und kommen hoffentlich irgendwann wieder zurück!

Super accueil, avec un appel dès l'aéroport et un point de rencontre pour nous guider à la location. Des gens charmants, une maison très agréable, une vue exceptionnelle.

We had a great time at Alex house. Everything was exactly how it was described. We were two people but enough place for five. Kitchen is well equipped. Terrace and views and the garden are amazing. Though the location belongs to busy Stalida it is at the far end of the village and it was very quiet. Alex picked us up at the main road, brought us to the house and explained us everything. He was really helpful. A big thank you.

The cottage in Stalis looks exactly like on the photos, or maybe even better. It is a VERY nice place. The living room is a spacey place with high wooden ceilings and very cosy. The two bedrooms are smaller but pleasant, also with high ceilings and Greek style furnishing. All rooms have separate air-cons which is very useful especially in August when the heat outside is unbearable. In general, the house is very well equipped with things - including mosquitos repellents, all possible kitchenware, books, playthings, on the garden there are umbrellas and sunbeds. We stayed for more than three weeks and did not lack anything (well, there is not a washing machine and dishwasher but that hardly matters for a shorter stay). We frequently used the terrace which offers great views of the sea and mountains and gives shade during afternoon and evening. The garden is very nice, with a lot of flowers, and hammock. The place itself is a bit put aside, up on the hill and does not really have any neighbours, therefore is very quiet in the night. It is a perfect place for relaxation holidays. Since our long stay, and with a small child, we rented a car and it was very comfortable. Unless you have a car, be prepared that (although it is not far - about 600ms) from the closest beach and shops/restaurant area you will have to climb a hill which is quite steep, and the road is not shaded, so it is better to plan your activities so that you avoid climbing it around noon. In summary the place is great, we loved and enjoyed our stay, feeling like at home and we would definitely like to came back sometime. Alex and his family were fantastic - they treated us as a personal guests, prepared a Greek lunch for us and we felt being heartily welcomed. I did have an abrupt strong allergy attack the night after we arrived and we did have to visit a clinic in Chersonisos emergently. Although it happened on Saturday early in the morning, Alex did organise a taxi in no time for us, selected the best local clinic, and then came to check personally to see how I am faring. He consulted the doctor in Greek to be sure what is the diagnosis and treatment and then translated it to me (everyone spoke English, but just to be sure) and in general was very kind to me. Then he helped us to find the closest Pharmacy, did the grocery shopping and took us back to the cottage, while checking if we are OK regularly. It was a big help and I am indebted to him and his family for their help and care which went far beyond former hospitality. Besides that, they are very nice guys, and I hope we will meet them again in the future.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

De location is very good! Close to the sea,shops and restaurant. The buss station is near. Daria is very hospitable she does everything for you to make it a nice stay and let you feel at home. She is in for a good talk and can inform you about what to do in the surrounding!

Отличное месторасположение дома, море в 7 минутах, остановка в 5мин! Рядом кафе и магазинчик! Сама хозяйка Дарья, очень милая, добрая, общительная девушка! Приятно было находиться в доме! Рекомендую!

Daria is a very good host. She is very kind, sincere person who will do her best to make you feel like at home. Apartment has good location. It s very close to bus stop and small shop where you can buy food. It takes you about 5 minutes to go to the beach.

Darias place is the place to be!located near public transport, beach,restaurants and many other stores.Daria is such a wonderful lady who is always friendly to her guests,she makes you feel at home.The place was clean and there was air conditioning throughout. I highly recommend Darias place to anyone willing to spend vacation in Stalida.

The apartment is really bright, clean and tidy. The shower situation is a little bit difficult, there is no curtain around the shower trays and no bracket for the shower head. Sadly you hear the main road all the time (and some music of a hotel), therefore it is close to the important shops, to the beach, but also to outback. That makes it easy to stay there without a car/scoter etc.

Daria was a really fantastic host. she made me feel more like a friend than guest, she was very hospitable and really made sure i was okay, also giving me advice on things to do in the neighborhood. the room is nice and bed comfy! thank you Daria for a lovely time in Stalis! perfect ending to my trip in Crete

Спасибо большое Дарье, за такой чудесный отдых! Это самы прекрасный отдых, наполенный прекрасным общением, посиделками на балкончике и рассказами про Грецию! Квартира чистая и уютная, отображает весь колорит греческого гостеприимства) Я получила массу приятных впечатлений, рассказов куда можно поехать на пляжик, и где покушать вкусный гирос))) Спасибо огромное за гостеприимство, приеду еще раз точно

L'appartamento è davvero molto carino e pulito. L'accoglienza è stata fantastica. L'appartamento si trova in una strada comoda all'accesso alla cittadina ma lontano dai rumori. La mamma di Valia ogni mattina ci ha portato dei piatti tipici ed è stata molto disponibile! Unica peca la ancanza del wei-fi. Comunque super consigliata!

La vacanza trascorsa presso l'apppartamento di valia è stata fantastica. Appartamento comodo e bello, facile da raggiungere, in una zona tranquilla e vicino alla spiaggia(circa 10 min scarsi a piedi), Bellissima la piscina e i proprietari di una gentilezza incredibile. Ci hanno anche portato da assaggiare piatti tipici e buonissimi. Le persone del paese sono state cordiali e molto disponibili. Comodi anche i trasporti pubblici per visitare le varie località dell'isola. Assolutamente consigliato per le coppie e gruppo di amici data la disponibilità di più letti. Valia e la sua famiglia sono persone squisite. CONSIGLIATISSIMO! The holiday spent at the FLAT of Valia was fantastic. Apartment comfortable and beautiful, easy to reach, in a quiet area and close to the beach (about 10 min walk scarce). Really nice pool. The owners were an incredible kindness. They also brought to sample dishes and yummy.The people of the country have been friendly and very helpful. Also convenient public transport to visit the various and wonderful locations on the island. Definitely recommended for couples and group of friends given the availability of more beds. Valia and her family are lovely people. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

L'annuncio era perfettamente fedele alla verità! La madre di Valia è stata disponibilissima e ci ha portato regolarmente delle delizie culinarie, dalla frutta fresca alla torta! tutto ottimo! La piscina è stata fantastica, nelle giornate molto ventose è l'ideale! La posizione dell'appartamento è ideale per una vacanza rilassante... infatti si trova a circa 5 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia di Stalida ma è sufficientemente lontano dal caos estivo!

La résidence est en retrait par rapport à la station, ce qui permet d'être au clame et à proximité des commerces. La piscine est très bien, grande et permet de se reposer. Beaucoup d'attentions : fruits, vin à l'arrivée. Merci à Valia et sa Maman

Walking distance (500 m) from the sandy beach and the shopping street. Nice pool and a clean apartment. Good value for the money.

Valia's home is absolutely amazing. Such a welcoming family, and a very welcoming, polite and attentive host. Valia and his mother went far beyond what we expected, and worked tirelessly to make sure that our stay was more comfortable than any 5 star hotel could have been. During our trip, Valia's mother waited for our delayed flight for us to check-in (2 hours later), almost at midnight. She informed us that 'unfortunately' none of the other apartments were occupied, and that we would have the entire complex to ourselves! After hearing this, we knew that the holiday would be as peaceful as possible. This, in effect, made the shared pool our own private get-away. the local restaurants are very welcoming and friendly with the usual welcomness which the Greek are famed for. The walk to the restaurants, beech and local shops is around about 5 minutes. Valia has left a nice welcome pack with lots of information and ideas for trips. I could highly recommend Valia's place.

Studio is clean and cosy. Pool is a big advantage when the weather is hot. The beach, taverns and restaurants are in 10-minutes walk from studio. Valia and her mother are very friendly and ready to help. We like our vacations and hope to come again next year!

Wir (2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder) haben 1 Woche in Benny und Marinas Apartment verbracht. Das Apartment war sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet und war genau so, wie es im Inserat beschrieben ist. Marina und Benny waren sehr nette Gastgeber, die uns sehr herzlich empfangen haben. Die Umgebung bietet für alle etwas, es gibt ganz in der Nähe eine Ausgehmeile mit vielen Bars, Cafés und Restaurants. Der große Strand ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wenn man es wie wir aber etwas ruhiger mag, kann man mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten die sehr schöne Bucht von Malia besuchen, die insbesondere für Kinder gut geeignet ist. Stalida ist ein idealer Ort, um den östlichen Bereich der Insel zu erkundschaften. Vielen Dank liebe Marina und lieber Benny für den herzlichen Empfang, für die leckeren Muffins und für das selbst gemachte Olivenöl, das ihr uns zum Abschied geschenkt habt! Wir wünschen euch und euren süßen Kindern nur das Beste!

Gute Lage, die zimmer sehen aus wie auf den Bildern. Sehr gute und nette Gastgeber. Würden wieder gerne kommen.

Benny und Marina sind reizende Gastgeber, immer bereit Fragen zu beantworten, um die Umgebung kennenzulernen. Das Appartement ist genau so wie beschrieben, praktisch, sehr sauber und der Balkon ist genau das, was man nach einem langen Tag sightseeing braucht. Der Empfang mit selbst gebackenem Kuchen, Wein und Wasser war einfach toll! Sehr zu empfehlen. Liebe Grüße an die ganze Familie.

Das Apartment war genau wie beschrieben und es war auf unserer 14 tätigen Kreta Reise die schönste und sauberste aller Unterkünfte. 3 Minuten vom Strand entfernt wird die tolle Lage nur noch übertroffen von der Gastfreundschaft von Benny & Marina. Die beiden haben Alles getan um unseren Aufenthalt perfekt zu machen. Dank Bennys umfangreicher Ausflugstips konnten wir die besten Sehenswürdigkeiten auswählen und hatten einfach eine super Zeit! Immer wieder gerne, beste Gastgeber! Außerdem ist Stalida bzw. Stalis ist ein Örtchen mit ganz speziellem Reiz! Wir werden bestimmt nochmal kommen!

We had a wonderful holiday at Benny and Marina's beautiful apartment with amazing views from a private balcony - the photos can't even do it justice. 3 minute walk to a stunning beach, lovely locals, delicious food and 1 minute walk away from the bus stop if you wish to go further a field. They arranged a discounted cab from the airport and we were greeted with delicious cakes and wine, as well as a bottle of water upon our arrival. On the last day we had a panic as we were unable to get money from the cash machines for our bus fare to the airport - Benny kindly drove us to the next town to get money and dropped us right outside the bus stop to the airport ( a very simple journey and only €4 per person). (We also recommend the Mythos bar by the beach - best service in Stalis.) also we recommend to walk right up to the far end of the beach strip as the best places are further up (10 minute walk). Overall, great hospitality and a fantastic safe location. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a relaxing beach holiday - I haven't had a better one(URL HIDDEN)

Merci encore de votre accueil. l'appartement était très bien situé. Nous étions aussi bien qu'à l'hôtel avec une bouteille de vin blanc pour nous accueillir une bouteille d'eau au frais et les délicieux cake de Marina, sans oublier les serviettes changées et les conseils de Benny pour les itinéraires à suivre. nous conseillerons sans hésiter ce logement à notre entourage et nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Merci encore. Fanny et Flo

io e i miei amici abbiamo scelto Stalida, per poter essere vicino all'aereoporto e allo stesso tempo alla costa orientale di Creta. La scelta è stata azzeccata e inoltre abbiamo incontrato delle persone piacevoli , che ci hanno accolto nel migliore dei modi. Benny è stato un'ottima guida, e ci ha dato una mano ancor prima che arrivassimo. Purtroppo abbiamo avuto un contrattempo e siamo arrivati più tardi del previsto, ma Benny e Marina ci hanno aspettato ! sono stati davvero gentili ! La posizione dell'appartamento è strategica, vicino ad una spiaggia molto carina, se non si vuole fare molta strada per prendere il sole, e allo stesso tempo in pochi minuti si può raggiungere la National Road, la via principale di comunicazione di Creta. Stalida è inoltre vicina ad Iraklio e quindi Cnosso ! imperdibili ! Io e i miei amici avevamo noleggiato una macchina, perciò è stato molto comodo avere il posto auto giusto sotto l'appartamento. L'alloggio è davvero confortevole : nuovo, pulitissimo, e con le zanzariere ! fanno la differenza ! Posso suggerire l'appartamento di Benny e Marina per un soggiorno davvero piacevole a Creta!

We had more than wonderful time staying in Cosy appartments!! Thank you Benny and Marina , for everything! The only bad thing is that 14 days run soooo fast :) See you again soon. Lots of love from Serbia

Van 22 juni tot 6 juli verbleven wij in een appartement van Benny en Marina. We werden hartelijk ontvangen met een koel flesje wijn en zelfgebakken muffins. Het appartement zag er prima verzorgd uit met een grote koelkast en diepvries en een oven om lekker broodjes in te bakken. Wat vooral een opluchting was dat de bedden deze keer wel lekker lagen en de douche prima in orde was. Voor een praatje of vragen kun je altijd bij Benny of Marina terecht. Het appartement licht op een steenworp afstand van de uitgestrekte boulevard met veel zandstrand, ontelbare restaurants, taverna's en andere uitgaansgelegenheden. 's Avonds met de auto erop uit is niet nodig in Stalida.

Our family spent three weeks in Stalida, Benny’s apartments are very well located, 3 minutes from the beach. There are many shops and cafes near the apartments. At the same time, the apartments are situated in a quiet location, that is very comfortable for families with children. The rooms are clean and comfortable, fully consistent with the description. For our young daughter we were given a cot. The apartment has everything necessary for living, fully equipped kitchen, a lot of different dishes. Benny and Maria are very welcoming and friendly hosts. They met us friendly, told us about the attractions for visit. As well as in the event of any problems, quickly helped to solve it (but, to tell the truth there were not problems that we have). We sincerely recommend the Benny's apartments. Then we are going to Crete one more time, we will stay only at Benny! Benny and Mary, thank you very much, best regards!!! Anna, Valeriya, Elena and Andrey.

Good location for quiet family holiday with parking place near house. Close to the beach, tavern and supermarkets. Nice mountains view! Fully equipped kitchen. It was easy to communicate with Benny and Marina to ask about anything.

Мы остались очень довольны пребыванием у Бенни и Марины. Все было очень хорошо. Прекрасный дом, уютный, чистый. Хозяева воспитанные и доброжелательные люди. Марсель и Ирина

We werden zeer goed ontvangen : Benny heeft ons opgewacht en naar het appartement gebracht, Marina verwelkomde ons met zelf gebakken cakejes ( die zeer lekker waren). Benny gaf veel uitleg over de bezienswaardigheden in de buurt. We waren ook blij dat we eens nederlands konden spreken...

Accueil très très chaleureux, avec les petits gâteaux de Marina. Studio très confortable, une propreté irréprochable, bien situé, proche commerces, arrêt de bus, plage et restaurants. Benny et Marina sont de très bon conseil pour les visites. Avec eux, on se sent comme a la maison! A recommander sans problème!

Maria et Benny sont des hôtes formidables. Prêt a donner plein d'informations utiles sur ce qu'il faut découvrir, comment se déplacer, ou faites les courses, etc... Et polyglottes! Si vous avez de la chance Maria vous fera profiter des produits de terroir crétois fait par son papa. Merci encore a eux pour leur accueil et leur bon soins.

Siamo stati una settimana da Benny e Marina.appartamento pulito,ben tenuto è completo di tutto, zona tranquilla a due passi dal mare. Stalis cittadina adatta per famiglie e per chi vuole un po' di (URL HIDDEN) non troppo. Fermata autobus vicina a 20 metri, mini marker vicino l'appartamento. Trasporti pubblici buoni. Consigliamo la taverna vicino l'appartamento perché per noi è stata la migliore per qualità e prezzo. Spiaggia con sabbia e mare stupendo quando non ci sono le onde. Ringraziamo Benny e Marina per la splendida vacanza.

Sehr liebe Gastgeber! Wohnung war sauber und ordentlich. Klimaanlage mit Zuzahlung möglich. Etwas abgelegen dafür ruhig. Gut geschlafen! Kreta Adventure war angenehm :) lieben Dank nochmal!

Very good service and kindly. I recommend )

So nice in his communication and flexible. We could checkin and out whenever we wanted. Was kind enough to give us suggestions and tips. We even found surprise food on our doorstep a couple off days. Fresh baked cake, fruit and a delicious meal. They made us feel really welcome.

Maria ist eine super Gastgeberin: Immer freundlich und hilfsbereit und gibt sehr gute Tipps für Ausflüge. Nur wenige Gehminuten vom Strand entfernt haben wir bei Ihr ein schönes Zimmer gefunden. Weiterhin konnte man einen schönen Pool inklusive Liegestühlen und kleiner Minibar nutzen.

Don't expect too much! Flats are old and not clean. MOLD on the sheets, mold in the corner of the shower (which wasn't working!), food on the plates, BAD SMELL in the fridge, a little bit of dirt everywhere. Maria opens you the door.. That's it. Without water in the shower, she told us to go to the swimming pool shower during our stay (8days!), she just doesn't care about you. She makes EVERYTHING PAYING. You can't take shower to refresh? You need at least air conditioning ? 50€/week A fan? 15€/week. You want to drink smthg next to the pool ?You have to take it from the bar (which is more expensive than any else bar in the area!). Clearly your flat is DIRTY, the owner want money and are CLEARLY NOT PLEASANT. And we were not the only one to complain, when we had diner with the others customers, they were also disappointed, for the same reasons.

Lovely people, great service! Thank you for everything.

Maria is nice and helpful: an excellent hostess. The room is nice, clean, and spacious. It has a good location, having a good neighborhood and being close to the beach.

Maria was a helpful host throughout our stay at the apartment and was always available to give us advice on transportation and things to do in the area. Since we stayed during Stalis' "off season", the town was quiet and relaxing. It was an easy walk to the market and a wonderful resturant, as well as the beach. Maria was kind and we enjoyed her company as well as the other friends we made in Stalis and Malia.

Nice place, nice people, clean room, somewhat old furniture. Just one major issue, there is WiFi on the resort, but not on every room.

Accueil souriant. Il était un peu difficile de trouver le lieu mais Maria a pu nous guider par téléphone jusqu'au studio. Propre mais un peu proche les uns des autres.

We loved this place can highly recommend to anyone, The room was very clean and had everything needed including air con, The pools and pool area was very clean and Maria and Stavros amazing hosts we even went to pasta night with them and can only say great things about this property and the hosts we will 100% return

Un séjour très agréable dans un coin touristique de Crète. Loin de nous l'idée de découvrir l'île mais plutôt de profiter de la plage, du climat, des bars et des restaurants. Pour ça, la situation géographique de ce logement est idéale ! La chambre est agréable, le balcon avec vue sur la piscine et la plage immédiatement derrière est top. La clim est indispensable en été mais fait pas mal de bruit, il faut savoir ce qu'on veut ! ;) Nous n'avons pas eu la chance de rencontrer Joanna mais sa réactivité nous a été d'une aide précieuse : réservation de taxis pour le port, l'aéroport, etc. Joanna est toujours là pour trouver une solution ! En somme, un super séjour au soleil :-)

Dimitri à été un hôte très accueillant, toujours de bonne humeur! Il nous a donné de super conseils. Appartement et terrasse confortable. Super literie! Je recommande sans hésitation!

Отличное местечко для семьи с детьми!, хотя молодёжь тоже жила в нашем комплексе. Отличный гостеприимный хозяин!- весёлый и позитивный. Дети в полном восторге-уезжали в слезах(, обязательно вернёмся туда ещё), шикарно и позитивно проведённое время!- жили месяц. С соседями тоже везло-все общительные и корректные. Димитрис держит все на высоте!
