Villiana Holiday Apartments

Review We really enjoyed our 15 day stay at the Villiana apartments. The apartment was very clean and well equipped - even down to mosquito plugs and tablets. Air con and safe were included in the price. The beds were very comfy as they had mattress toppers on them and the sheets were crisp and starched. The pool area was sunny and very clean, with good sun loungers and umbrellas. What we liked was that there was no bar so you didn’t feel obligated to spend your money there and you could take your own drinks to the pool area. We would have no hesitation in recommending the apartments. They are in a quiet elevated location which gives great views of the sea and hills and is only a 5 minute walk to the centre of Stalis. There is a hill leading up to the apartments but it shouldn’t be a problem for most people unless you have severe walking difficulties. The owner Chris was very friendly and hospitable and nothing was too much trouble for him. This was our 7th visit to Stalis and we have stayed at 3 other apartments previously. We enjoyed the Villiana so much we have already booked for 2023. Top marks! Nikki & Nige

Everything! and Chris the owner was wonderful, so friendly and professional

There was nothing to dislike!

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!

Our room was an excellent size, beds were very comfortable & everything was immaculately clean

We had a wonderful time at Villiana. The sea view from our spacious terrace was definitely a highlight. The room was clean, spacious and well-appointed including the kitchen. Free parking and very close to town. Chris was another highlight of our trip. What a great host! We felt very welcome and he provided us with great advice. We'd love to return one day!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villiana. The sea view from our large terrace was incredible. Our kids had lots of fun in the pool. The room was great: large, clean with a well-supplied kitchen. Chris was a big part of why we enjoyed our stay so much. What a great host! He made great recommendations and was so warm and accommodating! Our stay was too short. I hope we can visit again one day soon.

Absolutely nothing to fault throughout the whole of our stay. Fantastic location, quiet at night but only a few minutes to the beach and centre of Stalis. The perfect spacious accommodation , super clean, great shower, plenty of hot water, comfortable beds, a proper coffee machine. Chris is a great host, and I would thoroughly recommend Villiana whether you are travelling on your own or as a family. I can fully understand why Chris has so many that return.

nothing to fault

Excellent location on walking distance to the beaches and Stalida. Great views from the terrace over the sea and hills. Perfect pool. Chris is a lovely and very helpful host. The apartments are spacious and have all basic comfort you need. 100% recommendable!
