superb crete holidays  - self catering Crete Holidays for all the family!

Rouladina Apartments, Stalos, Crete 

summer crete holidays - perfect for family crete holidays on the beach!

Perched on the hillside, 500 metres from sandy Stalos beach and set amongst a patchwork of green vineyards, this is the property for those looking for  family Crete Holidays with a touch of comfort and where impeccable attention is paid to the smallest detail.

Ever since they were first introduced to our programme , our Crete Holidays in Rouladina Apartments have  proved consistently  popular with our clients, who praise the high standards, warm welcome and genuine hospitality of the owners, Manolis and Dimitra.

excellent crete holidays - attractive pool and sun terraces!

There are a total of three spacious, three bedroom apartments, two apartments with two bedrooms and one smaller apartment with one bedroom. All these Crete Holidays apartments are air conditioned, have their own telephones and share the sparkling 10m x 5m swimming pool, surrounded by sun terraces with pretty flower beds and splashes of bougainvillaea adding a vivid touch of colour. Behind these Crete Holidays apartments, vineyards stretch away up the quiet hillside, whilst from your balcony or the poolside, the blue sea beckons beyond the dark green vines.

family crete holidays - mini-markets and restaurants only a short stroll away!

There is a choice of three tavernas within a very short stroll, the nearest of which, opened in 2009 and run by the enthusiastic Tzortakis family, with Mum in the kitchen and the rest of the family waiting at table is conveniently just up the road.  There are two small mini markets no more than  100 metres away. A further choice of tavernas and mini markets are strung along the coast road 500 metres away, from where there is also a regular bus service to Chania.

All these Crete Holidays apartments have an open plan living area with sofa and easy chairs, plus coffee and dining tables. A pine breakfast bar separates the well equipped kitchens with ample cupboard space and work surfaces, plus full electric cookers, sensibly large fridge freezers and microwave ovens. 

A particular feature of these Crete Holidays apartments is the large picture windows or floor to ceiling patio doors at the front of each apartment, making the most of the sea views, whilst double glazing keeps the heat outside where it belongs. For those families with an extra person to accommodate, the sofa in the living room converts into a single bed. All apartments have their own private balconies or terraces complete with patio furniture.

Manolis and Dimitra, the proud owners of these Crete Holidays apartments, are Greek Canadians, who finally decided to return to their Cretan roots along with their daughters Roula and Dina. They have their own apartment upstairs and take care of the property and their guests with a perfect combination of discreet Canadian efficiency and genuine Cretan hospitality. Be warned  that Dimitra makes the most delicious cakes and other Cretan specialities which she loves her guests to try, so if you are intent on keeping in shape during the holiday, it may take a little more discipline than you counted on.

Especially useful on departure day,  a  reception area tucked away to the rear has 3 guest toilets plus a shower and a storeroom for luggage so you can enjoy your holiday right up to the last minute. There is also a washing machine here for communal use.   

Rouladina Apartment 2,  2 bedrooms sleeps 4/5

From a private terrace overlooking the pool, the entrance door leads into a small open plan living area with breakfast bar and kitchen on one side. Off an inner hallway to the rear are one twin bedroom and one double bedroom plus a bathroom. The double bedroom has patio doors to the rear with a view of the bougainvillea. The slightly elevated private terrace at the front affords wonderful sea views, just ideal for your crete Holidays and a child gate is available to protect the five steps down to the pool area.

Location of Rouladina Apt 2 **
Stalos, Crete
7 km west of Chania, the village of Lower Stalos fringes a long, sandy beach with the island of Theodorou, said to be a petrified sea monster, rising from the sea just a short distance off shore. 1km inland the small village of Upper Stalos nestles serenely on the hillside amidst a patchwork of vineyards and olive groves. Here you will find a slower pace of life as well as a couple of the best local tavernas in the area, both certainly worth a visit or two! ...More about Stalos >>

Michael Briggs - Jun 2010

"Excellent. Really handy for the pool if you have little ones. It enabled us to keep an ear/eye on her while she was asleep while we chilled out on the terrace/ verranda. "

David Westley - Sep 2009
