Monthly Rentals in Stilos

This was my second stay at Ioulia's House and it was just as lovely and peaceful as last year. Stella and her father are very attentive and helpful. The setting is wonderful at the edge of the pretty village of Macheri and has wonderful views looking out towards the sea across a verdant landscape of hills and olive groves. The House has two lovely terraces with lovely flowers and is a short walk from the village Kafenion. Here you can enjoy traditional and beautifully cooked food under the mulberry trees at weekends and enjoy the welcoming friendly atmosphere. Other tavernas are a short distance away in the villages of Stylos and Neo Chorio. The beaches and restaurants at Kalyves are about 15 minutes away by car. I particularly recommend Panadasia by Kyani Anti beach. Ioulia's house and the area is a little paradise.

We stayed at Despina's in Fres in February and March. From meeting us at the airport and helping us pick up our hire car she was always available if we needed advice. Driving into Fres you head for the village square and drive through it through an archway. Carry on this road for about 300m. Just beyond a small church on the left you will see it in front of you. There is a small undercover car parking space with the stairs to get to the flat. Despina's father lives in the flat below. He is very kind and despite not speaking English we managed to understand each other. We were also lucky to be given lemons, oranges,eggs and olive oil from his garden. The area is beautiful and rural with the sounds of goats and chickens to listen to whilst sipping wine on the balcony looking towards the sea. The area is a great base for exploring especially Vamos, Almyrida and the Apokoronas region. Chania and Rethymno are not too far either. I can't recommend Despina's place highly enough.

We spent 10 days at the property with our 2 1/2 year old son. The house is well equipped and really offers everything to have a nice time in the area. The village is secluded from the hustle and bustle, but still offers 2 nice taverns and cafes; and in a few minutes' drive you are on the beach or in one of the numerous taverns in a neighboring village. Nektaria was a great host, always available. We'd love to come back!

A cozy home in a beautiful setting This is our second stay at Kalliopi's, and we are very satisfied with it. The house, a few minutes walk from the village, has all the useful amenities. Small great market in the center of the village for common needs. We really enjoyed the terrace, in front of a beautiful landscape over the valley and mountains across the street. Very nice, in the evening at sunset, back from a day of hiking. Perfect calm. Kalliopi always responds very quickly if you have any questions and is attentive to the satisfaction of the tenants during the stay, while being discreet. A perfect stay that we'll renew
