Stella in the Village Studios

We always leave feeling refreshed and start thinking about the next visit. Stella, Lena, and Michalis make us feel like family, and their hospitality is a big part of what makes each stay special. The accommodation is spotless, with balcony views that take our breath away every time. Myrthios is peaceful and charming, while Plakias beaches, shops, and cafés are only minutes away. Our family's favorite escape, and highly recommended for families or anyone wanting to enjoy Crete's beauty and hospitality.

I can't remember when we first stayed with Stella, but we've been coming back every year since. The hospitality, balcony view, cleanliness, service, and accommodation make us happy each time. Highly recommended.

We're already planning visit number seven. This will be our sixth stay at "Stella in the Village", and we always come away rested and refreshed. Myrthios is peaceful, but Plakias, with its shops, cafés, and wonderful beach, is just a five-minute ride away. The apartment is wonderful and always spotless, the terrace views are terrific, and Stella, Lena, Argi, and Michalis are warm, lovely hosts. There are great tavernas within walking distance, including our favorite just across the street. It's also a good base for day trips. Places like Rethymno, Chania, Moni Arkadi, Argyropouli (Lappa), Gortis, Feistos, and Moni Preveli are all within easy reach, along with many more Crete sights.

We've been staying with Stella and her daughters Argie and Lena every year since 2018, and each visit delights us. The beds and mattresses are the best in the world, so you sleep like a baby. The accommodation is excellent, the place is spotless, service is top-notch, the views are breathtaking, and the hospitality is extraordinary. Highly recommended.
