Our opinion: Clean and comfortable apartments that make the perfect base for enjoying all Crete has to offer.

It's no coincidence that this group of pretty apartments have the name Bella Vista - the view from each one is breathtaking. Built in a peaceful location on a hillside, each rooftop forming the spacious balcony of the next, the apartments give guests a panoramic sweep which takes in the town of Stalis and the coastline with mountains in the background. The apartments, which have a bedroom, living room and separate bathroom, are roomy, tastefully furnished and fully-equipped with large modern kitchen fittings and facilities. All are surrounded with beautiful gardens, a blaze of colour in summertime. A lovely big pool with plenty of sunbathing terrace around it takes centre stage, with the adjacent separate children's pool. Colourful sun beds and parasols are plentiful and the pool bar is a few steps away, to ensure you won't have to wander far for refreshments. A more idyllic spot for a restful break is hard to imagine. With its situation in the middle of Crete, this is the perfect base for exploring the rest of the island and visiting the cultural attractions at Knossos, Festos and the ancient city of Gortyna, ancient capital of the Roman Empire. The lovely beach is just 800 metres away with its wonderful shallow sea and vast stretch of sand and there are a number of towns beyond the village of Stalis worth a visit: Sissi and Malia are nearby and Heraklion is only 3 kms away. All are easily reached by the bus which runs regularly from a stop close to the apartments. After a busy day out, enjoy a cocktail or two at the bar whilst watching the amazing sunset and recharging your batteries before wandering down to Stalis for a taste of the vibrant nightlife in the tavernas and bars around the bay. Please note this accommodation is not suitable for guests with walking difficulties.

Colours reflect the natural surroundings, and are co-ordinated to create a harmonious environment to promote and enhance a sense of tranquility.

Our opinion: A picture perfect piece of paradise for a fun family holiday.

As if the village of Sissi isn't pretty enough, the Maritimo Beach Hotel is a delight of whitewashed buildings interspersed with flowers and lush greenery at every turn. Bougainvillea tumble down from roofs, while tropical plants look at home beside the pathways. It is located in one of the great spot, too, with views over the adjacent picturesque natural harbour of Sissi while just 700 metres from a sandy beach. In the middle of the bright and scented flora of the gardens are the pools including a large outdoor one surrounded by sun loungers and parasols. The pool bar conveniently serves snacks as well as drinks. So, not surprisingly, this is a favourite spot for guests to spend the day. If you're holidaying with children, the hotel runs a kids' club during the day. Later on, while you relax over dinner, the games room will keep them amused, and excess energy can be expended in the playground. Speaking of food, the Maritimo's main restaurant, on the terrace serves traditional Greek and Cretan specialities as well as a good choice of international specialities. In fact, theme nights with Greek fold dancing are a regular fixture in the weekly programme - the perfect way to round off the day. If getting acquainted with the locale is an imperative for you, there is plenty to see in the tourist resort of Hersonissos nearby, and Malia with its archaeological sites. The lively resort of Aghios Nikolaos is within easy reach as well, with its restaurants and throbbing nightlife.
