Overview
studio
1 bathroom
3 guests
3 nights minimum 
Condo/Apartment
Stavros Studio is in a perfect position to enjoy a rural, laid-back atmosphere but without being too remote, as a small mini-store 4 minutes down the country lane services your day-to-day needs while the village of Gerani is only a 12-15 minute walk away. Stavros is really is blessed with everything most people look for on a relaxing holiday: long quiet beach, large clean pool, a natural setting far from mass tourism, a quiet romantic beach-terrace taverna, and yet within easy access of a nearby village. Families who have returned again and again say it is for a combination of the sense of seclusion and relaxation it gives them, safety for the children and child-friendliness. Couples who have returned say it is for the sense of space and relaxation in a romantic setting.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

A perfect spot for relaxing and exploring
I stayed here with my 7year old. It was perfect! We were picked up by a taxi that had been prearranged by Stavros studios and were made to feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. From the fabulous iced coffees to Despina's awesome cooking, from the pool to the unspoilt beach I can honestly say that our week long holiday was really great. The location is ideal for enjoying both the peace and tranquility of Gerani but close enough to Platanias and Chania when you want to take things up a notch or two. Chania itself is a beautiful historic town and is worth taking time to explore. We will be booking again for this summer!

Fabulous
Stavros studios have that rustic traditional Greek charm. They are cleaned every day and situated in a quiet area near to the pool and restaurant. Pretty little complex right on the beach with a lovely restaurant that served very good food any time of the day. Nice friendly owners took time to chat. Lovely outlook to the beach. We will return.

Can't wait for another visit in May this year
We have been visiting Stavros Studios for twenty one years. The location is idyllic, the food is wonderful and the family Pardalakis are so caring and helpful. There are two small supermarkets close by. The main road to catch buses to the local towns is about a fifteen minute walk away so that the traffic noise from the road doesn't encroach on the peacefulness of site.

Marvellous
Just got back from my second visit to Stavros Studios. What a lovely time we had. The apartment was comfortable with 2 terraces so you can always choose sun or shade and you can make meals in the kitchen area. Who would want to cook when you can go to Despina's restaurant. We worked our way through the menu which was delicious . The highlight for me was that we saw baby turtles making their way to the sea for the second time. Wonderful.

Delightful family run complex in unspoilt spot
I've stayed here several times and always love coming back to this unspoilt corner of Northern Crete. The family Despina, Stavros and Haroula are always welcoming, the home-cooked taverna food is simple and delicious, the house wine is great and the taverna overlooks the beach and sea. The apartments are very clean and well looked after, with small terrace front and back in surrounded by beautifully kept shrubs and lawn - oleanders, geraniums, hibiscus, bamboo. The apartment kitchen is small but equipped with all you need to prepare simple meals, including a microwave. Chania - a bustling town with a beautiful Venetian port - is 20 mins by bus and buses are frequent and cheap. Haroula kindly organised taxis and car hire for us and is very helpful about places to go and things to do. Absolutely the ideal place to completely relax, unwind, swim and enjoy the sun or go exploring.

Gentillesse des propriétaires et cadre splendide
Nous revenons d'une semaine en Crète où nous avons logés dans un studio pour 2 . Le premier soir , nous sommes arrivés 3h en retard à cause de l'avion et la propriétaire nous attendait gentillement et nous a proposés de nous faire à manger (il était passé minuit, pour vous dire l'état d'esprit de ces personnes) et avait rempli notre frigo avec quelques boissons. D'une manière générale notre séjour a été parfait grâce au sens du service et la gentillesse des occupants ( Harula qui est régulièrement au bar est vraiment d'une grande aide pour vous conseiller dans vos visites). Nous avons mangés plusieurs soirs au restaurant de l'établissement et la cuisine était vraiment extra pour un prix démocratique. Si vous voulez visiter la région il vous faut impérativement une voiture.

About the neighbourhood
Gerani is a village about 9Km from Chania on the west coast of the island of Crete. Gerani holidays are definitely for those looking for a quiet relaxed village with a good quiet beach away from the big crowds. Gerani holiday nights are likely to be spent in the smattering of small relaxed bars and restaurants. Spice up a Gerani holiday in nearby Platanias, which is a much busier resort with another good beach. Chania, the interesting cosmopolitan historic Venetian capital of west Crete is just 9Km away and connected by regular buses. Here you will find plenty of sophistication and good shopping.
