summer family holidays greek islands - perfect for beach holidays in these greek islands!

Rouladina Apartments, Stalos, Crete 

Crete Sea View Apt for 2

family holidays greek islands - superb sandy beach!

Perched on the hillside, 500 metres from sandy Stalos beach and set amongst a patchwork of green vineyards, this is the Apt for those looking for a sea view apt 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 family holidays greek islands at 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.

For these family holidays in the greek islands at Rouladina, there are a total of three spacious, three bedroom apartments, two apartments with two bedrooms and one smaller apartment with one bedroom. Also for these family holidays in the greek islands, all the apartments are air conditioned and they 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 the apts, vineyards stretch away up the quiet hillside, whilst from your balcony or the poolside, the blue sea beckons beyond the dark green vines.

excellent family holidays greek islands - 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 the 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. 

family holidays greek islands - private balconies or terraces!

A particular feature of the 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 the property, 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.

Sue Thurston and Terry Henken "Many years ago (23) we first went to Crete and fell in love with the island and its people straight away those feelings have never changed to this day!  There is so much to do and see. The mountains, villages and archaeological sites are a delight; there is something for everyone of all ages. On our first visit we stayed in the sleepy beachside resort of  Stalos and have returned each September since and even for Easter and Christmas.  Over the years we have seen it grow into a larger resort which has still retained that village touch. Whilst the resort has grown nothing has been spoilt, a good selection of tavernas, restaurants and beach bars.  Easy walks to the upper village and beyond, the friendly locals who are only too pleased to stop and talk. Twelve or more years ago we went to stay at Rouladina apartments and met Manolis and Dimitra the owners and perfect hosts.  Their apartments are well kept and so peaceful and just a short walk to the beach and tavernas so whether it's tasting Dimitra's fresh baked Walnut cake or checking out Manolis wine or raki whilst relaxing by the pool, these are just some of the little things that makes the holiday here so great and not forgetting the people you meet year on year that become friends."

Rouladina Apartment 6, 1 bedroom

Beyond the hallway, the spacious open plan living room has a kitchen to one side, whilst to the front, full length patio windows lead out to a good sized balcony overlooking the pool and of course enjoying stunning seaviews.

Apartments 5 and 6 both have private front balconies with  full sea views and also share a large rear terrace with peaceful rural views of the vineyards stretching away up the hillside

"Thank you for the excellent service which we had from your company, we will most definetly be going back to the Rouladina.Close to the beach, with good bus links to Chania and very friendly people.The owners of the appartments were very nice to us thanks all. " MR & MRS McEwan

Location of Rouladina Apt 6 **
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 >>

"We were well pleased with the apartment and will be booking again, if we can get in - when talking to other people there, many seemed to have been before."

"Great location, wonderful owners."

Lynne - Jul 2009

"Thank you to Freelance for a lovely, well organised holiday, everything went very smoothly. We enjoyed meals at Maria's Taverna, 5 mins walk, at the bottom of the hill - particularly good service and you are given an enormous basket of fruit after your meal - eat as much as you want, all free. "
