Villa Ritsa

The staff and owners make you feel like one of the family nothing is too much trouble for them .I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to friends and family.I am a solo traveler and feel very safe here .

The actual complex is lovely as is the pool area and staff.Location is great just a five minute walk into the centre of Stalis. Our room however was awful,the plug sockets were literally hanging off,the fridge was rusty and made everything wet because it didn't work!! The worst part was the smell...so fusty and smelt of shocking BO even though it was cleaned every day. Been to Greece loads of times and know that rooms are basic but his was horrible. Paid for air con which was an absolute joke although we complained that it wasn't working nothing was done,at 60 euros don't bother! On arrival home everything smelt musty,even our make up brushes!! I have only given it 3 stars purely based on location,staff and pool. On the upside we loved Stalis and are returning in September just somewhere else.

The rooms are very tired and dated. Food shocking and over priced. Staff very nice and friendly . The bar shut at 6.00pm every night while we were there. Only had hot water mid afternoon , so had to have a cold shower . There was a musty smell in t he room .Wouldn't stay there again

George the owner was very friendly and helpful, as was Litsa. Lovely pool area. Great location if you want to be away from the strip but within 5 minute walk. Was disappointed with the accomodation. Looked large and roomy online, however, they were the upstairs rooms. Downstairs were very small. Kitchen virtually non existent. Overall though we had a great holiday.Word of warning....BE VERY CAREFUL IN THE SEA. It can be dangerous. Big waves but riptide pulls you under.

Superb place to stay,family friendly,good sized rooms,excellent pool and plenty of sun loungers. George and his staff will make you feel like part of the family. everything is spotless,food and drink is served at the poolside bar,which is very good.It is also a short 5 minute walk to the main strip in Stalis. I cant recommend Villa Ritsa highly enough.

Read the brochure, you get what you see and read, its not 5 star no, but you will have a great stay. George and Litsa (I hope I spelt that right ) will do all in their power to make it happen. Not far to the beach, or stay by the very clean pool its up to you. Rooms are clean, beds are ok, decent shower and bathroom facilates. And having stayed and talked to other residents who hve been 3 and more times dont believe the bad reviews, you just CANT please everyone. I would happyly stay again !!

The owners did not offer any help to rectify the no hot water problem until the JET2 rep intervened on our behalf. This spoilt the beginning of our holiday and we could not understand why they could not have just turned the back up water heater on.

On arrival was shocked by the location next to a duel carriageway which isnt mentioned in any of the details , We stayed in room 5 and found it very noisy the balcony at the back was very hot and overlooked by another block of flats so not nice to sit out we solved this by putting the table and chairs out the front which wasnt private at all,The aircon was also an extra we had to pay for. The accomadation was basic ,could have done with at least a toaster,and the beds were hard did get extra pillows on request and it was clean, Poppy the cleaner was great a lovely lady also found George the owner very good and friendly he cooked a great breakfast , The pool area was good and always a sun bed and umbrella free overall it was what we expected for the price shame about he road though although we kind of got used to it over the 12 days we were there .Stalis itself is a busy little town with plenty of good places to eat right on the sea front however if we go back to Crete we prefer Elonda .

we really enjoyed our holiday at villa Rista , George amd his family are excellent , nothing to much trouble foe them, they made us very welcome ,we met so lovely people , we return , the bar staff are excellent

Ok for a short stay wouldn't recommend 2 weeks we couldn't wait to get out of there. Didint have one good nights sleep, we paid for air con which didint work as the flaps were broken so we bought a fan and was told we wasn't allowed this even tho nothing was done about the Airton being broken, the pool was salt water and turned everything yellow, we had to ask for clean towels and clean bedding as we had been there 8 days and they hadn't been changed, the pool area is rather expensive. Overall it was ok but I wouldn't recommend to anyone or go back. However nikos apartments is brilliant our family stayed there and everything was perfect that's where we spent a lot of our time!
