This is the second time we have stayed here. The apartment was very clean and well equipped for a self catering stay. The staff are very friendly and make your holiday extra special with their enthusiasm to make your holiday what you want it to be. Maria ( the owner) cooks the best food in stalis. Alexandra and rali made us laugh and made some unique cocktails!!!!The views are spectacular, the apartments are built into he mountains which surround you.The hill to the apartments are a challenge and will not suit everyone, but you can drive, quad bike or get a taxi up if the walk is too much. Looking forward to going back next year.

This has to be the best self catering apartment we have used .We have used as many as 25 over a number of years visiting the Greek Islands. From the moment of arrival we were warmly greeted by Rayleigh who despite being busy in the bar and preparing meals carried our case up the numerous steps to our room. We did have great difficulty finding the Bella Visit as the address from Expedia did not mention Stallis so the Sat Nav. was of no use, we did pay a taxi driver to lead us there but be aware there are 3 Bella Vista s in the area. When looking at the view from the balcony it is easy to see why this property is called Bella Vista. It is important to note the description that the informs you that this would not be suitable for anyone who has difficulty in walking or climbing. We had hired a jeep and the area has plenty of good beaches, interesting towns and mountainous terrain to visit. A short walk downhill takes you into Stallis , a town that has plenty of good eating places a more crowded beach as well as water sports for the more active.Remember though that it is a steep walk back up to the hotel. The swimming pool is lovely The Saturday night bar b q excellent value and Maria and her 4 members of staff all went out of their way to be friendly. We met other families on return visits and hopefully we will be returning now we know how to get there.

Very sweet owners. Very kind. Took care of our every need.

The staff are very friendly and food we had there was fine. This hotel might be best suited to younger people who can sleep on anything as the beds are hard and the rooms are very basic, you get 2 electric oven rings which are portable and a microwave as only cooking devices. no tee towels or washing up liquid are supplied and all crockery is oddments. The pool had algee starting and needed cleaning. From about 5am the local cockeral starts crowing which sets off all the dogs so unless you are heavy sleeper you will get woken up. There is lots of steps as on side of hill and is 15 mins walk to sea. I would not go back there.

When we arrived the people who run the hotel were very nervous. After about a ten minutes wait they said they were overbooked and they will take us to another hotel. They blamed Expedia and said that the website lets people book room even when there are no rooms available. They rushed us, and pressured and were not nice to us at all! We moved to the other hotel which was nice, we had two kids so really didnt feel like going into a big fight and ruin our vacation.

It was great, however be aware to book it with Expedia. The hotel was already overbooked but Expedia ignores this information by the owners and still offers rooms. This leads to the owners having to sort out another hotel for a certain amount of time when they're overbooked. But they are friendly, the hotel is nice and the rooms are big, it is a 10 min way from the beach (steep hill). Perfect for families who want to spend time in the pool and a great atmospheric environment

Just back from here and had an amazing stay. The staff cannot do enough for you in this quiet and beautiful resort. The rooms are spotless and quiet. Would highly recommend.

Not a bad hotel ,huge rooms with everything you need .Small TV though.Good quality for money but cmon ,charging for the aircondition remote control? You could add that to the price and still you would be the cheapest one

We were pleasantly surprised with the rooms and service at Bella Vista Stalis. However, there were a few hiccups. One, there is another Bella Vista in Hersonissos and this was the hotel we were brought to from the airport. The hotel description says Hersonissos, but Stalis is actually a completely separate place (about a 20 minute bus ride away). There was also no wi-fi during our stay. The hotel owner was generous enough to offer the password to his private account, but my partner who needed to do some work remotely would have been in trouble otherwise. The hotel is also a 15 minute trek to the beaches (uphill on the way back), but there are lots of stores and restaurants on the way.

We loved our time at Bella Vista - the staff were genuinely among the friendliest I have come across, always ready to help and pleasant throughout. The location of the apartments means that there really are some spectacular views. One one side you can see the beach & coastline and on the other side a beautiful view of Crete's sweeping landscape. We took some great panoramic shots. The rooms are great. Comfortable, tidy and regularly cleaned. All in all a great holiday at Bella Vista - we will be returning!

v peaceful hotel w lovely staff. Had a great holiday overall.

What a fantastic find! We did a last minute mini-break and sourced Bella Vista the night before we travelled and we were NOT disappointed. The owners and staff really give that personal service to ensure all guests have a restful and enoyable time. The rooms are spotless, linen crisp and aired. We booked a superior apartment and were really glad we did - The extra few pounds are well worth it as you get a separate bedroom, two balconies front and back [so if sun is too hot on one side you can relax on the other] and, best of all offered superb views of the sea and mountains. The swimming pool is in excellent condition, clean, fresh and inviting and much larger than you would expect from a complex this size. The location is a 15 minute stroll to the main resort [Stalis] beach where you will find an extensive range of small shops, bars and places to eat. The only downside was that a taxi costs 40/45 Euros for a 20 minute ride from the airport. If you arrive in the daytime take the bus [it's less that 4 Euros] and ask for Stalis bus stop number 27 and then pop into the taxi rank there for the 3 minute climb up the hill to the hotel. Fabulous - I can't wait to go back!
