The villa Ritsa apartments are lovely!
Me and my boyfriend stayed here on our first holiday together and had no complaints!
It is just a nice distance from the bars, restaurants and the beach. With two supermarkets within about 2 mins walk, which sell everything you could need.
We never had to fight over sun loungers, there was always plenty to go around, and drinks from the small pool bar were very reasonable.
We had breakfast a few times from the pool bar, and it was lovely and reasonably priced.
The apartments themselves are basic (but so is most of greece), but just what you need. They were cleaned regularly and well presented.
Air con is available, and dont be foooled... our room seemed cool during the day but... coming back in on a night it is sweltering. Definately worth paying for the air con!
2 small drawbacks, it is very close to a road... but you dont notice it and its not too busy, you kind of forget about it after a day! And george the owner doesnt allow you to bring your own drinks to the pool area... understandble! and its something to do with tax also.
Overall a lovely holiday, and lovely apartments... would have no problems with staying here again!

Villa Rista, Stalis Is a Fantastic place to go, It's 5 minutes walk from the beach and a little further to the bars and restaurants.
We have been to this hotel for the last 7 years, George and his family are really friendly and can't do enough for you. Nothing Is too much trouble.
I work in the Travel Industry and everyone I have recommended to go to the Ritsa have loved It and re-booked for the following year, George has a big repeat of customer's who stay at these apartment's. As George and his family become very good friends with everyone who stays here.
The Rista is clean and you are really looked after, You have everything for a self-catering, And they even do snacks, meals and drinks you can purchase whilst at the pool area.
You do hear noise from the road outside the apartments, but after a couple of days you get used to it, and don't notice it as much.
You will not be disappointed with The Villa Ritsa...

This is our favourite holiday so far. George runs the apartments and he is fantastic, Him and his dad make you feel so welcome and looked after.
The rooms are spotless and are cleaned every other day, the pool is warm and clean with plenty of sunbeds and the English breakfast George serves is fantastic value for money.
I would recommend Villa Ritsa as everything is close by, the supermarket is 2mins up the road, and the beach is a 5min walk through a tunnel.
If you do decide to go to Villa Ritsa make sure you ask George when his BBQ and Karaoke night is as the food was amazing and there is lots of free Raki to get you in the party mood.

Great place, been here twice now and definitely on my ‘list’ for going back to. George is just a wee pet. Nothing is too much trouble. His Dad is about the place too and he is equally as kind and courteous as George. The place is absolutely spotless, a bit old fashioned maybe but ultimately adequate and spotless. There is a bit of road noise but after the first two days you just don’t hear it anymore. George cooks in a small pool snack bar every day and I recommend the cheese and onion omelettes! Its approximately ten minutes walk into the middle of Stalis where there are plenty of great restaurants. I just love the place. The swimming pool is sparkling clean and a great size and there is always a spare sun bed to lie on. There is a little supermarket about 5 mins walk either side of The Villa Ritsa. Definitely recommending this place.

Had my 4th visit here this year and again was pleased with everything. George and Dimitris were very accommodating and pleasant and nothing ever a problem. Pool spotless as usual. I just want to lie on a sunbed and never leave!
About 5 minutes walk, either through the underpass or across the road to the beach.
