Villa Ritsa

Poor breakfast, go self catering, other reviews mention busy road but we couldn't hear it in room at night, there's underpasses to get to other side then it's a few minutes walk to beach shops restaurants so the road is not a problem, we love Stalis and returning but hopefully by the beach, Villa Ritsa ok if you happy with mediocre standards and small boring pool.

I honestly love the Villa Ritsa. This year marked my 21st year to Stalis. Room was fab as always. Powerful shower. Friendly staff and owner. Great comfortable sun-beds!!! Tasty bar snacks and always served with a smile.

We stayed at Villa Ritsa for 2 weeks in September and had booked a studio for three (room 107) even though there were only two of us. The studio was so spacious and exceptionally clean and very well equipped. Really comfy beds and clean bedding and towels every couple of days. The bathroom was great with a powerful shower and there was always lots of hot water. The pool and bar areas were always spotless and the staff were just so helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend Villa Ritsa and hope to return one day.

We have been back 3 weeks and have booked to stay again! We didn't know what to expect as it was our first time visiting Greece and our first time B&B. My husband and I stayed for 10 nights. We arrived very late at night and we were offered a drink on arrival. Manos showed us to our room which was basic but clean and had what we needed, our bedding and towels were changed every other day. We had a 1st floor room with a huge balcony. Villa Ritsa is in a great location just a short walk to the centre of stalis. The Greek taverns we visited were amazing. The food was out of this world everywhere we ate including the hotel. Manos and paulina work so hard to make you feel welcome. All the public areas are spotlessly clean. We can't wait to return with our son.

Beautiful place, loved every minute we were there, from Paulina greeting us on arrival to the sad day we left. Everything was clean and all the staff were great. Kalimera Paulina, Pós eísai hopefully we will return next year I will keep practicing

Just came back from Villa Ritsa Stalis Crete AMAZING. As always, Minos and Staff are so friendly and helpful. Recently Refurbished fantastic location not far from bars, restaurants, and the beach have been staying here for over 20 years . So clean and nothing was too much trouble met loads of lovely people, Would Definitely Recommend.

Fantastic holiday, fantastic hotel. Villa Ritsa is a beautiful hotel with great atmosphere and great staff Paulina and Manos who look after you very well. You leave as friends. We stayed in number 3 which was a ground floor 2 bed studio and it was spotlessly clean with comfy beds and pillows and an amazing bathroom/shower. The pool area was also spotlessly clean with really comfy sunbeds and beautiful pool. The location was 5 minutes walk underneath an underpass to get to the sea and shops and restaurants. There is a main road next to the hotel but it didn't bother us its something you get used to and the positive to that is there is a bus stop 27 just outside the hotel which gets you to other resorts at a good price. There is a pool bar which Paulina runs in the day and Manos runs on the night for drinks and food. We can recommend the food all we ate was delicious and good prices.

Great place, great staff and location. Very clean. The studios are of ample size with a great shower. The pool is the best one I've seen in every Greek island I've visited. The food at the pool bar is excellent and good value. We are back next August for sure. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

We were vert excited about staying here as we booked about 15 months in advance. I emailed them the year before to confirm that they type of room we had chosen was suitable for our family holiday. When we arrived a lovely chap who we now know as Manos welcomed us with warmth. We were shien to our room and I instantly realised we had the wrong room. I was told nothing could be done that evening. The following day we saw our rep who informed us that the owner had over booked the hotel and the one bed apartment was given to someone else and we had to have a studio for our full 14 night stay. They apologised and gave us free air con. After a few days it was apparent that this definitely affected our holiday as we had no privacy from our 15 year old child, who had trouble sleeping. We did see our rep again after a week who again said we could not move us. After saving and looking forward to our holiday I felt deeply disappointed. The hotel itself was OK. The staff were great. The pool area was very clean with comfy sunbeds. The room in my opinion did not have enough storage as only had a wardrobe and two tiny drawers. The shower was great and had been updated. I didn't like the balcony at the rear of the property so instead sat in the corridor out the front. I would have considered staying again, but I would not as I didn't like they gave our room to someone else who booked after us. For that reason would definitely not stay again.
