Great place and kind gracious helpful hosts. I rented an e bike and later car from the shop right in front, and across the road from that is the beach!
The hosts are very kind and available for support if needed. The location is great and the price is favourable relative to the area. I would stay here again if I returned to Stalos.
Nicolas and Elizea (the owners) are very gracious hosts and very accomodating. They made sure we have a great stay and were always available to help any way they can. Property is steps to a nice beach and bus station very near for easy transportation.
My stay was amazing just such lovely hosts. 2 minute walk to the beach beautiful room. Wonderful gifts of wine, bread on arrival oranges and tomatoes delivered daily what more could you want
I liked the balcony and the plants, i liked that every day someone came and cleaned.
I didn't liked that was not quietly, and the smell in the room was bad because of the umidity in the walls.

The hotel is very old fashioned, but there is everything you need for a week or two. There is a balcony (no sea view) and the air conditioning works perfectly well. 100 m to the beach. The hosts are very nice and kind people. There was a couple of bottles of water and plenty of fresh fruit in the room when we arrived.
The stay at Villa Elizea was the highlight of my travels. The owners are incredibly sweet and invested in you as a guest. They make sure everything is as it should be and are always willing to have a chat with you.
Right by the beach, and near so many restaurant. It’s not by the main road, so it’s so where near noisy.
11/10, and will definitely be back asap!
Meget hyggelige og snille eiere, fint plasert i rolig område, meget gode senger, bra luftanlegg, nye vinduer og dør til balkong som isolerert godt. Eierne gir ut frukt, vin og vann ved ankomst.
2 stekeplater, kjøleskap, toast og vann koker osv.
Kort vei til strand og masse god mat. Buss til Chania koster under 2 euro.
Meget god pris på rom vs det som ligger nært.

Hyresvärdarna var fantastiskt äldre par, mycket trevliga.
Äldre vackert och mysigt hus, börjar bli lite slitet.
Boendet ligger i en by med flera bra restauranger och små livsmedelsaffärer och en härligt lång vacker strand.
Mycket bra internet uppkoppling.
Kollektiv trafik finns lätt tillgängligt ner på den större gatan som går igenom byn.
Πολύ καλοί και ευγενικοί άνθρωπο πολύ καλό σημείο και πάρκινγκ ακριβώς από κάτω .
Τα αρνητικά ήταν ότι κάτω από το κρεβάτι υπήρχε πολύ βρώμια/σκονη . Επισης το air condition το χρεώνει 15 ευρώ/μέρα κάτι το οποίο δεν αναγράφεται στη σελίδα το μάθαμε όταν πήγαμε εκεί .Το μπάνιο επίσης δεν έχει καλή κλίση για να πηγαίνουν τα νερά στο σιφόνι και γίνεται μια μικρή λιμνούλα .Γενικα παντός είναι πολύ καλή επιλογή και καλοί άνθρωποι .

Nous sommes venus passer quelques jours Chez Elizéa et Nicolas. A notre arrivé nous avons rencontré un petit soucis mais Elizéa et son mari ont tout faire pour corriger. Nous avons passé un bon séjour au calme, à 2 pas d'une plage de sable fin et de nombreux restaurants et boutiques de souvenirs. QUartier assez animé.
Bodde på Elizea i en uke august 2022. Vertene var veldig hyggelige og gjorde alt for at vi skulle ha det bra. Kommer gjerne tilbake flere ganger. Hilsen Susanne og Ellen.
Such a pretty villa, a stones throw from the beach. We met Elizea and her husband who were both so friendly and welcoming - nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed the home made wine which was a welcome gift for guests. The room was spacious with a Smart TV, efficient cooker rings and fridge. It was spotless - bins emptied and cleaned daily, beds and towels changed every few days.
The location was good - a 15 minute walk to the left was Agia Marina, a 20 minute walk to the right was Kalamaki. We hired a scooter for a few days and were able to exlpore the beautiful coves further along the coast, and it took just 15 minutes to ride into Chania. I would definitely recommend. A fabulous stay. Thank you.
Nära stranden men ändå tyst. Egen balkong och nära till allt.

Great large spacious rooms.
Very nice villa with large spacious rooms. The rooms have AC, good hot water, and comfortable beds. Would definitely stay here again! The owners are warm and friendly. It's a quick walk down to the beach, or to numerous nearby restaurants.
Abbiamo soggiornato 4 notti e ci siamo trovate molto bene grazie all'accoglienza ed ospitalità dei proprietari che hanno fatto di tutto per aiutarci e metterci a nostro agio.
Ambiente abbastanza pulito e confortevole.
Dista una decina di minuti in auto dal bellissimo porto veneziano, ma anche a piedi nei paraggi ci sono localini, ristoranti e vari negozietti.
Lo consiglio assolutamente!
Fantastic, welcoming and friendly proprietors. Very helpful with information and nice to chat to. I would definitely come again if I was in the area. To get to town you need get the bus, which comes every 20 minutes.
It is a very nice little place: clean, cosy, well equiped and confortable, with a relatively low price. The owners are friendly, careful and helpful. It is placed near a quite popular, yet not bustiling beach, in a very convenient zone, plenty of services and local commerce. Our experience was very positive, we surely recommend it.
A very nice hotel, with the best service. It is located away from the noise of the traffic, but still very
close to the beach and all the restaurants.
A very good place to stay.
Die Vermieter wohnen im Haus und sind sehr angenehm aufmerksam, jedoch unaufdringlich.
Einkaufen, Bushaltestellen und der lange Sandstrand sind 3 Minuten entfernt.
Im Vergleich zu Platanias sehr ruhig und erholsam.
