We recently spent a week at this property and it was exactly what we were looking for.
The location is great, situated right on the beach and we enjoyed just sitting on the shaded terrace and watching the sun go down. Another more sheltered beach, just 2 mins walk around the headland provides excellent safe swimming and is perfect for families. The property itself was very clean and well maintained and the hosts (Ioanna and Eva) were excellent throughout, offering help and useful advice. Little touches throughout the property (like basic groceries and fresh coffee) made us feel at home straight away. The town of Stavros is not a large resort and is made up of small, privately owned properties and has a very authentic feel to it. The local restaurants were good and we alternated between 3 during our stay (Sunset Taverna on the beach, Zorba’s and Almyriki). The 2 shops had everything we needed and we could have easily stayed in Stavros all week if we did not have our own vehicle (the location has very easy access to Chania airport).
In summary, I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice relaxing retreat and we would stay here again if visiting Crete in the future.
