We were 3 people staying for a week at Stavros house in Stalida. We each had our own room and enjoyed the stay very much. Stavros is a very warm and welcoming host, he has provided us with all requested necessities almost immediately after asking. The location and view from the house is great, quiet at night, isolated from the road and touristic area of Stalida, but still within 10 minutes walk or 3 minutes drive from the Stalida beach and all its cafes, restaurants and shops (very touristic area, although the Stalida beach was nice and relaxing). The house is also within 10 minutes drive from more outgoing and party places Malia and Hersonissos, which can easily be reached by a taxi for 10 euro fixed price. Also just next to the house is a hotel called Bella Vista, where you can use the beach beds and the pool if you take a drink at the counter.
Although overall our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable, it is important to note that there were crickets in the trees all around the house that were quite noisy during the day especially when it was hot, but this is the case pretty much everywhere in crete so one gets used to them, they get quiet at night.
Also the nights are quite warm and although there are ventilators in each room we informed the host that the stay would be more enjoyable if there was some kind of air conditionning in each room.
overall we would recommend to stay at Stavros place for a relaxing sea holdiay in Crete
