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.
