Charilao’s place was a beautiful, peaceful oasis! It was spotlessly clean, stocked with everything you could ever need. The barbecue, pool, sauna and gym were such treats and our only... read more regret is that we were too busy adventuring around the beaches that we didn’t use it as much as we wanted to. Charilao was amongst the best Airbnb hosts we have ever had - he couldn’t do enough to accommodate all our requests and gave us some amazing recommendations. If you’re staying in the area we absolutely recommend staying here.

The communication was always very fast and simple.
We would... read more go there every time again! 🙂

We all enjoyed the gym, the pool, the sauna, and the pizza oven tremendously. Charilaos thought of absolutely everything we might need for a great visit, and was super responsive by text if we had any questions or needs. 10/10 stars!!
Everyone asked to go back next year!

  We had such a wonderful time staying at the Seaview Garden Villa! The house is so comfortable and literally has everything you could think of!! So easy for travelers --... read more similar to staying at a hotel! Charilaos even stocked some food and drinks for us upon our arrival! He was very easy to communicate with and had some great recommendations! The beach (and beach bars) is only a short 5 min walk down the hill!! I would highly recommend this Villa!!

  Honestly, super impressed all around. The house was immaculate. Charilaos communicated every step of the way and gave us great local recommendations. The place was close to stores and a... read more short drive to night life of Chania. At the same time it felt very private as it is nestled away from the main street a bit. The morning and evening views from the backyard are awesome! My kids loved the pool and the whole backyard setup. I had 9 people ranging from 15 to 50 in age and everyone was comfortable in this house. We were in Greece for 2+ weeks and spent a few days here -everyone agreed that this was the best house we stayed in and when we come back to Crete this is where we will stay (assuming its available). Highly Recommend!!!

  100 stars! Charilaos was was very quick to respond from the time of booking till even after we left. He gave great recommendations and went above and beyond in... read more accommodating our family. My bag was lost and and he helped find it and make sure it was delivered to me. I’m forever thankful to him! The house was incredible with views all over. You can see the love Charilaos put into every detail of the home. It was clean inside and out. The kitchen was well equipped. All the rooms had great Ac. The house is walking distance to many great restaurants, shop and the beach. Katsaroles Taverna was a very short walk from the house and the food was delicious and people were so friendly. Charilaos was the best host and the house was spectacular! I hope to come back in the future.

  Charilos is a wonderful host. He is kind helpful and responsive. The house is wonderful. Location perfectly situated in a village 15 minutes outside chania old town. Overlooks the... read more sea with a promenade that goes for miles. Pool and sauna are wonderful. Each of four bedrooms is wonderful in own way. Outside space gorgeous.

  It was our family’s first visit to Crete and we felt grateful that we spent it at Charilao’s villa! He was very hospitable and thoughtful throughout our stay. ... read more Not only did he stock the fridge with some drinks and food which we welcomed after a 2 hour drive from Heraklion Airport, his recommendations of restaurants and spa allowed us to have some amazing experiences. We loved the outdoor space with amazing sculptures he created himself, the beautiful kitchen, the pool, and bedrooms with gorgeous views of the sea and sky! It’s a 10/10!

  Charilao's place was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful, modern, spacious, peaceful, relaxing, and quiet, walkable to restaurants and one of the best beaches around. The pool was lovely and just the right... read more temperature and we loved the floating bed near the pool. We found endless places to hang out and relax as a family with three children Charilaos was incredibly friendly and helpful and gave us great recommendations. The location is amazing. We would definitely come back here and highly recommend Charilaos' house!
Thank you for an amazing stay and a great experience in Crete!

  Amazing villa and great host. We all loved the place and would definitely recommend and come back.

  The house was beautiful and the amenities were well appointed. The host was responsive and extremely helpful.
There were many extra nice touches provided by the host.
The house had... read more everyrhing you might need or want.
I stayed with my three adult daughters and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We highly recommend this home.

  Charilao's villa was a perfect spot for a short stop in Chania. Location was perfect with great restaurants and shops nearby. The view is unmatched, especially at sunset! The host... read more was extremely communicative and responsive, even though unfortunately we didn't get to meet. You could also tell that he has a keen design eye - he thought through and expertly executed even the smallest design details! I highly recommend the space and the host!

  The villa is brand new renovated, and it looks spotless! Its better that what i was expected from the photos and the seaview is amazing! I used the sauna a... read more lot and the gym! Harilao was always ready to answer all my questions before even i book the place. The villa is fully equipped in every way! Next time i will return with my family and kids! Thank you Harilao, everything was excellent!!!

  Un posto fantastico. Eravamo 9 amiche in viaggio per l’addio al nubilato di mia sorella. Non potevamo scegliere un posto più bello. La villa é INCREDIBILE. Spazi comuni luminosi, cucina... read more attrezzatissima, bagni pulitissimi, zona piscina impeccabile e vista senza fiato. Un posto da sogno! Ma il pregio più bello è Harilao. Fin da quando ho prenotato mi ha aiutato a organizzare il mio viaggio. Disponibile sempre, gentile e simpatico. Ci ha consigliato le esperienze più belle fatte a Creta. Vorrei incontrare solo ospiti come lui.
Abbiamo trascorso dei giorni indimenticabili, GRAZIE HARILAO <3

  Was amazed to see the *fabulous* renovations to the property. Much of the interior was updated and looks amazing. Really loved the choice in decor. And of... read more course, the deck and pool were well worth the price of admission. We wanted to explore more of the island, but I feel like the place was so nice, we spent more time there than expected. Which can be a good thing 🙂

Thank you so much for the hospitality - loved every minute of our time in Crete!

  We had an amazing time in Crete and Charilaos home and his graciousness were very much part of the reason why! We traveled from California, a family of (8) and... read more (4) of us were celebrating birthdays during our Greek travel adventure. Charilaos home was spacious and the pool area was beautiful with a wonderful view to the water. You had everything you needed from the very well stocked kitchen to the downstairs gym. The grounds were impeccable with lots of seating for a large group. The home is very centrally located close to the beach, restaurants and coffee shops. Charilaos was kind enough to call a friend's restuarant up the street and ask them to stay open late as our ferry from Santorini had been delayed and travel from the airport put us to the home at 11pm. His familiarity with Crete and the Stalos/Chania area is a big plus for motorscooter, ATV, car rentals, restaurants, beaches, etc. Our only regret is that we did not have more time on this lovely, but very large island. We will be back and will definitely be staying in Charilaos's lovely home again!

  We were a party of 10 that rented Charilaos's villa for a 1 week stay. The villa is very spacious, and we were all very comfortable. There is... read more enough room to spread out and beautiful common areas to also come together. The view is amazing, and the location is great. There is a beautiful sandy, calm beach within walking distance, along with restaurants, markets, beach bars. The kids enjoyed swimming in the large pool and even woke up early on the day of our departure to take a quick dip.

Without a doubt, Charilaos is the best host we have come across. Upon arrival he had the refrigerator already very well stocked for us (beer, wine, soda, cereal, jams, coffee, greek delights like feta cheese, tzatziki, olives!). I probably texted him once or twice daily for restaurant/beach recommendations (he also has these nicely listed in the villa), information on a boat cruise, food delivery to the home, even where to buy the best raki! Within a few minutes he would have a response for me. We were never disappointed with his recommendations. They were always right on, and we were so appreciative of his insight!

This place won't disappoint! We made many wonderful memories here with our children and friends, and we hope to one day return!

Thank you, Charilaos!

  We had 2 families (children were 1, 4, 10 and 13) stay in the villa for 7 nights and it was perfect (Aug ‘22). Charilaos could not have been a... read more better host, very thoughtful, loads of great suggestions and when we had a couple of very, very, minor issues he sorted immediately, an absolute legend!
The pool really made it - it was lovely and warm (we did not pay extra to get it heated) and the jet pool and little kids area of the pool were perfect. Having the property gated also made us feel super safe.
The villa had all the amenities noted and with a load of kids the washing machine was very useful. And stuff dried instantly on the balcony upstairs. We set the cot up in the hallway upstairs and pulled the blinds down which made it very dark - 1 year old slept very well.
I had to work a bit and the WiFi was fantastic.
In terms of local eating suggestions, we loved Maria’s kitchen, Opa and Gastro (this had a great kids play area) and there was a good mini golf course nearby. The flood and drink is incredible (octopus my favourite).
Iguana beach is well worth visiting and we actually enjoyed it more than our trip to Elafonisi. The restaurants around here are all very good too! The headland makes the water calm and great for little ones.
We used Jacob (host suggestion) for a taxi which was very good and would use a taxi for getting to Chania as buses were packed when we were there (book taxis in advance).
An amazing break and would highly recommend the villa, the location and the host, thanks again!

  Just loved this house! Beautiful house with the most awesome outdoor area and pool. The house is close by to everything you need: restaurants, super markets,beaches, etc. The host made... read more sure that we has everything we needed and more! We would recommend this house to everyone and will certainly return!

  The SeaView Garden Villa was a lovely oasis in Crete. The accommodations are 5-Star, creating a vacation of a lifetime. The host is extremely responsive and communicated well. The location... read more is a short walk to the beach and cafes, as well. Our arrival time was accommodated and much appreciated. He was at the house to greet us personally and offered many wonderful suggestions for dinning and excursions. We appreciated the security that was offered as well. Although the driveway was narrow, the parking area was open and quite large. The house was able to accommodate our large family of nine easily. The pool was amazing! The view from the balcony was beautiful and serene. We highly recommend that you consider the SeaView Garden Villa for your stay in Crete.

  Beautiful Villa with great view.
Really clean, and in good location.

  We had the best time at this property! The place has a very unique vibe, with the owner’s special artistic touches. The house is fully equipped, super clean and the... read more host is always available to answer any questions!
There is a bakery and a grocery store at a 5 min walk distance. Same short walk to get to the beach and decent restaurants.
Overall great experience.

  What can be said here. A great place to spend your vacation. The villa looks great, it is equipped with everything you would need and if you need... read more anything else, the owner Harilo is helpful and very contactable and you can report any problem or request. Additionally, the place is well located. On the one hand, there is a view of the sea and on the other, the beautiful mountains. From the villa it is very close on foot to the sea and to the nearby restaurants, bars and grocery stores as well as to points where you can swim on a jet ski, wake board, etc. I recommend it again and you will not be disappointed with choosing this place.

  AMAZING home! Family Friendly. Great location, pool and views.

  AMAZING home! Family Friendly. Great location, pool and views.

  A trully wonderful villa with first- class amenities and amazing views. We all agreed that this was the best villa we have ever stayed in. It's in a perfect location,... read more set up above the small resort of Kato Stalos. You can walk to the beach and local shops, cafes and restaurants very easily. There's also a regular bus service to Hania so you can easily visit this beautiful town too, which we did several times during our stay. As for the house, it's very well equipped and has everything you could need and more. Harilaos is a very attentive and helpful host - he made us feel so welcome and comfortable in his wonderful house. As we came early in the season, we asked to have the pool heated. This meant we could enjoy using it every day and we really did! We would definitely recommend heating the pool if you come in April, as we did. All in all, a perfect place to stay. We would love to come back!

  SeaView Villa is an amazing place to stay. The layout worked perfectly for a family of 5 with everyone having their own space but also awesome communal areas.... read more It's clean and really well appointed. The outside is also just a dream - perfect pool with heating if you wish and again different zones for people to relax or come together. All really close to Stalos and some good bars and restaurants plus the beach - you don't have to move far! But the best bit about the villa is the host. When you book Airbnb we all now there's a lot of commercial players but this isn't one of them - the personal and caring touch of Harilaos is clear with him being always available and helpful - nothing is too much. It felt a good way to spend money and support real locals.

  Overall a fantastic villa. One of our best stays yet. The view is amazing. The heated pool is a must if you're staying in October. This definitely made a difference... read more to our holiday. Every small detail was catered for, shampoos and conditioners, coffee, sugar, inflatables in the pool, ample toilet rolls, beach towels, slippers, walking maps, lollipops for the children. Everything you could need and more.

  Wonderful relaxing stay in this beautiful villa with stunning views. The location is very peaceful, but within walking distance of local shops and restaurants. It suited our party of 5... read more adults plus our three year old grandson perfectly and we appreciated having the indoor and outdoor dining areas. We mostly ordered in food from the local Gyros restaurant, and enjoyed two evenings out in nearby Chania and at the beach area closest to Chania, Nea Chora Marina, where there is an excellent selection of restaurants. Our beach recommendation would be Agioi Apostoli, a sheltered beach as it curves around, easy to park and a pleasant walk up to the little church with views both ways down the coast. We hired a pedalo boat on the beach on the other side of the road and a paddle board from this beach, the water is shallow a long way out, so perfect for young children. Charilaos was the perfect host, always quick to respond which we really appreciated when our 3 year old grandson needed a doctor and our eldest daughter needed a Covid test prior to our return journey. He also allowed us to check out later on our final day, which meant we could make the most of our last morning.
We cannot recommend this villa too highly and hope to return one day, thanks Charilaos!

  Super villa with a great host. Large pool, BBQ area, powerful music box Marshal, sea view, we had everything we needed. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. We... read more had a great time here.

  Very good location, perfect and comfort villa, we had everything we need ! Thank you Charilaos ! We highly recommend the villa

  We loved our stay at Charilaos' home overlooking the ocean. It's the perfect vacation home for a family or a group of friends. Lots of space, comfortable beds, views of... read more the ocean from the bedrooms, a gorgeous swimming pool, and a short drive to the beach and the town of Stalos. Charilaos is the best host. If you need anything, he is there to help. Incredibly responsive both in terms of questions about his home to sightseeing to dining to beaches. He maintains his home and pool in impeccable condition. The location is just outside the city of Chania so you have access to Chania but are away from the crowds. It is a memorable stay!

  We had a great holiday at Sea View Villa. Charilaos is an excellent host. The villa met all its specifications, and exceeded our expectations!

  The location of the villa is amazing, close to the sea and Charilaos is an amazing host. He always immediately replied to any questions we had.

There was... read more nothing to complain about.

  We were travelling in a group of 7 friends and stayed 9 nights in the beautiful Seaview Villa from Charilaos in Stalos. The villa was everything we hoped for and... read more exactly like on the pictures - a spacious pool area with enough chairs and pool couches for everyone, a nice kitchen with a lot of space to cook and fully equipped, four comfortable & big bedrooms and two very modern bathrooms with rainshowers. There was air condition in every room and the towels were plenty for the bathrooms & the pool area. Charilaos gave us a very nice welcome package with drinks & food and was always reachable via (Hidden by Airbnb) when we had any questions. All in all we were very happy with everything and would absolutely recommend the villa to everyone!

  What an amazing villa and a fantastic host! Charilaos couldn't do enough to help us, right from the moment of booking until the moment we left he was attentive, professional... read more and helpful. On arrival, our hire car wasn't ready so we were delayed getting to the villa, but he patiently waited for us. We told him how much we loved Greek food and the next day his father popped over with a delicious traditional home-cooked meal for us. Before we left he printed off our PCR and passenger location forms to make our journey home easier. He has put so much work into making the villa beautiful - the pool and garden area are so well designed - it felt like he'd thought of everything. There's even an air compressor to blow up your pool inflatables!
The villa is very private and it takes about 10 minutes to walk down to the beach, restaurants, bars and supermarkets and the view of the sea from the terrace (where we ate every meal) is amazing. The photos don't do the villa justice - it's really perfect.

  Villa is perfect and Charilaos is a really gréât host, always available for any request.

  This house was beautiful in the perfect location. Beautiful view of the sea and the beach is a 5 minute walk, and the water is clear and warm. There are... read more lots of small restaurants in the area, and the town of Chania is a 15-20 minute drive for more charming restaurants and shops. We drove to Elafonissi Beach, which was an hour and a half drive through amazing mountains and cliffs and small pretty villages with lots of fresh products for sale. We also took a boat from Chania to Balos Beach, which can’t be missed! Charilaos was so kind and provided a lot of information for us about activities and local restaurants. He also found a place to get covid tests and in general was responsive to all our needs. The house was really spacious for 8 of us, and the swimming pool was fantastic. We highly recommend this house!

  Best host and best villa ! Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end.
I would strongly recommend !

  Thank you Harilao for being such a good host and for the recommendations for the area! The villa was exactly as described and equipped with everything i needed. Hope to... read more come back again soon!!

  We spent a very nice week. Everything was perfect and the communication was very Good.

  We stayed at Harilaos Villa for nine nights in October and it was fantastic. Great bedrooms,
a very well equipped kitchen, cozy dining and living room, great pool, nice sitting... read more areas and a nice place for barbeque - everything as described and seen in the pictures. Wunderful. It is less than five minutes to the sandy beach, by car you are in Chania after 15 minutes and excursions in the area can be done very well from there.
We can recommend the villa 100%.
A very special thank to Harilao, the communication with him worked perfect,
he always reacted immediately if we have a request. Harilao is a very nice person and a great host.
Thank you Harilao!

  Harilao was an AMAZING host and his villa absolutely stunning! We were 5 women traveling for leisure and there was nothing more beautiful than looking right onto the sea from... read more the breakfast table and then take an dip into the spacious, clean pool. The villa is very well-equipped: aircon in every bedroom, coffee machines, BBQ, sun beds, pool noodle etc.... you name it, Harilao has it.
It's only a 5 minute walk to the local beach, beautiful beach hotspots as Balos or Elafonisi are only 1.5 hours away and easy to reach by car. The town Stalos itself is quiet (we travelled off-season, early October) but there are a number of cute small cafés and restaurants closeby. Try the mouthwatering vegan oyster mushroom gyros at small Taverna just down the road! Also, Stalos lies super close to Chania city center (just a 15 min car ride) and there are many big supermarkets on the way.
Harilao himself is extraordinarily friendly, caring and courteous. We staid in contact throughout the whole vacation and whenever we needed help, he replied within only a few minutes. We had a medical incident and he even called a number of doctors for us to get advice.
We had such a nice stay, that we already promised to DEFINITELY visit again. Again: THANK YOU SO MUCH, dear Harilao!
Just one small advice to future guests: if you rent a car, maybe try having a model that's not too big as the alley that leads to the villa is pretty narrow and made us sweat sometimes 🙂

  We spend a wonderful time in SeaView Garden Villa. Everything was perfect and like a dream. The Sea View was amazing and a big Highlight. Nothing was missed. We spend... read more there 7 Days and didnt get enough of the Villa. The Host Harilao was very professionell and kind. @Harilao, we will miss the Villa and hope to visit it again. Thank you very much for everything.

  I can genuinely say this was one of the best Airbnb experiences I have ever had. Charilaos is an incredible host - so welcoming (but not obtrusive), provides recommendations and... read more helps to organise things and so accommodating with timings etc. He is also just so kind and responsive to any questions.

The villa is a great space for groups, and wonderful attention to detail so you genuinely have hotel quality experience - fluffy towels, slippers, amenities, hairdryer etc. and the space is very chic with a great sea view.

It is also a great location close to lots of restaurants, the beach and a short taxi into Chania.

I couldn't recommend this villa enough!

  Charilao was an excellent host. He gave us a warm reception us on arrival and on departure, and he facilitated our schedule. The property was immaculately clean, including the pool.... read more Charilao was 100% available throughout our stay should we have any questions or information requests. He gave us some great tips about the surrounding aread. His beach restaurant recommendations were amazing. Our expectations were exceeded. Thank you again for making our holiday a perfect one!

  We spent 5 wonderful days with a total of ten people in this beautiful house. The house, the terrace and the pool offer enough space for all of us. We... read more all felt very comfortable. The communication before and during our stay with Harilao was great. We were welcomed personally by Harilao and Greek wine - perfect introduction. Through his help we also surprised our friend with a great individual cake for her birthday. There are several restaurants in the area, which are only a few minutes walk from the accommodation. If you want to cook yourself, you show your skills in the super equipped kitchen. There is nothing missing in the house. A washing machine with detergent is available, a hair dryer and even a milk frother. What else do you need.

  Charilaos is definitely the best host I’ve ever had.
Before our arrived, he gave us all the informations we needed and make our holidays the easiest possible.
Even... read more during the period, he was all the time available for any questions we had.

The house is just incredible , sunset, really nice pool, very confortable beds... Nothing to add.

Thanks again!! I’ll come back for sure !

  What a place! Exceptional
2 families (10 of us) stayed here for 2 weeks of heaven.
Views, decor, design, all top class

The host, Harilo could not... read more have done more. Great character
We’ll be back
Highly recommend

  Outstanding. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Easy stroll into the village. Several tavernas, shops, pharmacy etc (although many closed out of season). Easy bus or taxi ride to Chania ... read more which is a really pretty town and ‘buzzing’ even out of season. Charilaos was a great host. Left it clear how to contact him if needed but also gave us privacy to enjoy the villa. We all loved the place. Elegant and stylish yet homely. We loved the place.

  I travelled with my mum, 2 sons, daughter and her family with 2 small children - 8 in total. From booking the villa Charilaos was helpful with prompt messages at... read more all times. He was very welcoming when we arrived and was waiting at the villa to show us round. He also organised a minibus transfer for us so arrival was seamless.
We only came for 4 nights as a short break in October half term. Unfortunately, a lot of the resort had closed down as the season had ended. Charilaos provided maps, menus, details of restaurants and places to go. We just wanted to chill so did not venture far from the villa. We were very lucky with the weather 24 degrees and no rain - just lovely!
Charilaos recommended a food delivery service which was also excellent - so much so we had a different meal the next night from them!
There was everything at the villa that you needed including toiletries, bathroom and pool towels, children's toys and many things in the kitchen such as oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, tea bags, coffee capsules (that were lovely) foil etc etc. Charilaos also left us some honey, mini toasts, jams, wine, water, juice - it was lovely to have all these extras provided.
The villa was spacious - we never felt crowded. There are lots of lovely areas to sit in the sun apart from the pool and one balcony in particular got lots of lovely sun. The only thing was the pool was very cold - not that it stopped my 2 grandchildren from being in it a lot of the day. I was not tempted!!
Charilaos was very keen to ensure we liked the house and our stay - offering us anything else that we may require. He was very kind and welcoming.
We had a lovely relaxing time and I would love to revisit more in season. Thank you 🙂

  Harry was an outstanding host and went above and beyond with making our stay perfect. We appreciated his suggestions and the roominess of the house. His house had... read more us feeling like we were really staying in a beautifully furnished house and not just another rental. His stay was part of our amazing experience in Crete!

  It was a perfect moment and enjoyed a lot to stay there!!! Thanks again for your hospitality!!!

  We had a wonderful 7 nights at Charilaos place! We were 5 adults and one 18 month old. The villa has an awesome living room space for kids to play... read more in, and Charilao even provided my son some fun toys. The rooms are spacious and bright, with really comfortable beds. We found there was plenty of space for all of us, and really enjoyed eating meals at the dining table together. It's a wonderful home, and Charilao is a friendly and welcoming host.

The location is really nice too, with parking space for two cars right at the house. A third car could probably find street parking relatively easily. There are numerous restaurants nearby as well. We went to Maria's a few time, since they had a fun play space for my son. Just a short walk away there are a few tavernas right on the beach with beach beds you can use.

It's also a short drive to downtown Chania. If you don't have a car, there is a bus stop right down the street as well. We never took the bus, but I'm told its fairly reliable and inexpensive. It was nice being close, but well removed from the downtown hustle.

We loved our stay, and hope to come again!

  Awesome villa in the hills of Stalos . Perfect place for us to spend 3 dass with 2 adults and 3 kids. We would have loved to stay longer. Spacious... read more rooms, nice mix of modern and traditional architecture and a good equipped fitness room . The cherry on the cake is the terrace and pool area and of course the view!! The venue was very nice - we were offered drinks. Full availability and support is provided by Charilaos, especially useful recommendations for restaurants, beaches or other tips for sightseeing. The next beach is nearby - 10 min walking distance. We were completely satisfied and will for sure consider to come back.

  We travelled as a group of 3 couples staying in seaview gardens for 3 nights at the end of our island hoping trip and the villa was amazing. Exactly how... read more it looks in photos. The host was so helpful and checked in with us a couple of days before the trip to ensure we had transport and to send exact location which was spot on and so easy to find! Its 5 minute downhill walk to the beautiful beach and town of stalos which has a bus costing €1.80 into Chania town which takes about 25minutes. The bus comes every 20minutes and operates until 12am. We didnt want to leave the villa at all to be honest. It had everything you needed appliance wise with supermarkets in walking distance. You dont require a rental car if you want to stay here which is great. It took 30minutes to get to/from the airport. Harilao was a super host and also (Hidden by Airbnb) 'd during our stay to make sure everything was ok and was always at the other end of the phone if we needed anything. Would 100% recommend staying here and we will defo be back again, probably a bit longer next time

  The Sea View Villa is just amazing. The views, the pool, breakfast overlooking Stalos beach. The bedrooms and beds were super comfortable. The kitchen had everything we... read more needed, including a wine cooler. Our host had many suggestions and recommendations. Very helpful. And when we had questions...he answered our questions immediately. We had a wonderful vacation at the villa.

  Charios’s house is magnificent! It is very well decorated, clean, spacious, and comfortable. The pool is lovely and quite large. The pool area is comfortable with many lounging chairs... read more available. There is a wonderful view of the water from many of the various balconies at the house. As a host, Charrios is always available with an answer to any question. For us, he was flexible and willing to allow us to leave our luggage when we arrived before check in (and before the house cleaners were finished.) Most important, Charios was there for us when an urgent situation developed with the car rental company that we used. He went above and beyond to help us with our problem. We will forever be grateful to this kind and sweet man!

  Harilaos’ villa is exactly what an Airbnb property should be; a welcoming, homely place that is run by a host who really cares.
The pool is gorgeous, and the... read more villa has everything you need, with a well kitted out kitchen, spacious sitting room area and smart, modern bathrooms. There are two terrace areas, one off the bedroom and one off the sitting room and both have fantastic views of the bay.
Harilao was attentive and always willing to help and was always in excellent communication from the moment I first contacted him.
The villa used to be his family home and that’s exactly how we were meant to feel - like welcome guests. Thanks Harilao for a great stay!

  Thank you so much Harilao from all of us. From the beginning of our booking 5 months ago you have been nothing but the perfect host. Sending us pics of... read more the new pool, answering any questions I had, always getting back to me straight away and just being attentive and caring towards your guests.
We loved your home. We loved that it was your family home and that you take so much pride in it. We were checked in by your sister who was sweet and charming and we loved that she pointed out the bedroom she grew up in.
The house is beautiful, it’s spotlessly clean and we felt as a family so at home there. It is the most beautiful place I’ve stayed in, the views are amazing down towards the sea and the sunset. I have nothing negative to say about this place. I’ve just had the most perfect family holiday that anyone could wish for. The pool area is amazing, from the bed you can chill out on in the shade to the lovely seating area, to the jacuzzi in the pool, to the comfy sun beds, to the hammock out the back and the bbq area...
Harilao deserves to be a super host because he genuinely cares about his guests experience and because of the way he is and how he treats his guests I’ve has one of my best ever experiences and such a happy lovely week. Thank you!

  We had an amazing time in Crete and Charilaos's home was fantastic. Our family stayed there together, we had 4 kids and the amenities were perfect. We went exploring early... read more in the day and the kids loved coming back in the afternoon and having fun in the pool with their cousins. There is a beach within walking distance and lots of fantastic restaurants close by. Chariaos was an excellent host, he was very thoughtful and left us some coffee and treats when we arrived and there was everything you could need in the home including pool floats and beach toys. Highly recommend!

  This villa has everything that a five star hotel would have on your arrival, only you get it all to yourself! The new swimming pool has a water massage area... read more to one side and a special shallow section for babies, otherwise the depth is 146-170cm which is perfect, not too deep and not too shallow.
This is a family house and not purpose-built holiday home, so you can expect everything including a washing machine with a detergent. There are shower gels, capsules for the nespresso, towels/bathrobes/slippers, coloured towels for the pool, lots of toys for kids and inflatables for the pool, a speaker to play some music and even a little gym downstairs. I personally loved the two terraces overlooking the sea. Harilao is very helpful and makes everybody feel welcome, he is always willing to go the extra mile and can deal with any request. There were seven of us staying over and I would say there was plenty of space for everybody, we were never in each other’s way. The location is a short stroll from the beach where there are also plenty of bars and restaurants.

  Hi Charilaos - I just wanted to say thanks so much for letting us stay at your fantastic villa. The whole family have a brilliant time. The pool was super,... read more all the little extras that you provided like the pool towels, the soaps, shampoos, all the extras in the kitchen, all these made our holiday so easy and stress free. You were always very quick to respond to any of my messages and we really appreciated that. I will be telling everyone who wants to go to Crete on holiday to stay at Sea View Villa. Thanks again The Southern Family

  Sea View Garden Villa is such a charming place, light and airy inside with very good air conditioning to make it so comfortable when you need respite from the sun.... read more The swimming pool is just perfect it’s big enough to swim and deep enough to have fun in, with the added extra of the whirlpool. The view from its hillside perspective across the bay is stunning. There are so many places to sit and relax, a bbq area and outside dining at the back of the house, a first floor dinning terrace overlooking the pool and bay with the most outstanding sunsets every night and sometimes fireworks from neighbouring hotels give a free show. Upstairs on the top floor there are yet more balconies to sit and relax on. So much space for everyone it really is a home from home.
He villa is situated up a hill just back from the beach but easily walkable and very close to several small supermarkets and many restaurants and bars. There are plenty of restaurant delivery services too with good quality Cretan food delivered to your door, if you feel like dining in and relaxing without cooking yourself. I’ve stayed in many villas before but none that have these facilities, beautiful pool, in such a great location where you can walk everywhere it’s so convenient. I still recommend getting a car to explore the island, you can park at the property behind electric gates. Chania old town is a must and an easy drive from the villa.
Charilaos is an amazing host, so generous with his time and personal touches. I can not recommend this place enough!

  This house is fantastic. It is a four bedroom house, completely remodeled, with every possible amenity. The pool is new and is fabulous. The house is just up the street... read more from a market, multiple restaurants, beach shops and a local beach. It is a 20 minute drive into old town Xania, which is lovely. Charilaos left a personalized list of favorite restaurants, which we used every day. We also rented a car from his contact, which was super easy and reasonably priced. The sunset from the house is beautiful and picture worthy every night. There is A/C in the bedrooms and in the kitchen. It was very comfortable at all times of the day. And best of all was the host. Charilaos communicated instantly from our first contact until check out, he left wonderful goodies in the kitchen, the house is stocked with anything you can need and he is a very nice person who goes above and beyond as a host. I would absolutely recommend this home for your Crete vacation!

The amazing views to the sea and to the mountains... read more were wonderful, the beds were comfortable, the house was very clean and had a lot of essentials for our baby (bed, linens, towel, bath, shampoo etc) as well as for the older kids (toys, floaties). There was more than enough room inside as well as outside and we enjoyed the totally new pool area a lot. The house is in a great location with many restaurants, beach, shops just a short walk away. Our host was the most friendly and helpful host you could ever wish for. We were met with utmost kindness and hospitality and were really sad to leave. Hopefully we will be able to visit again!

  So, as it can be seen in the pictures, the house is PERFECT for a great holiday, for relaxation even on a rainy day like it happened to us; walking... read more distance to the beach, And restaurants or supermarkets. We appreciated the hospitality of Charilaos, the quick responses and the support offered. Also, i was overwhelmed by the Attention offered to the children’s care like the sockets’ security, or the baby chair and even the baby cot, not to mention that there was also special soap for the baby which i was definitely not expecting. Nice one! I would looove to come back just to drink another coffee on that beautiful terrace.

  Charilaos was such an amazing host. Very easy to communicate with! This place is in the perfect location and looks just like the pictures with plenty of space and light.... read more We mostly hung out on the main floor balcony which has an amazing view, but there were cozy places everywhere to hang out. Both the front yard and back patio were also nice to chill out in. All six of us loved staying here. 2 min walk from the beach with lots of great restaurants nearby. We especially like Marcos. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place for anyone tralvelling to Crete.

He hooked us up with his friend Thodoris for a rental car so essentially from our arrival on Crete to departure we were taken care of, feeling like we were visiting old friends. Thank you Charilaos! You are an awesome dude!

  This place is awesome! The pictures do not do the house justice.
