Our stay at La Vista Azul was great.

We were there for 5 days for a wedding and the apartment was perfectly situated for us, right in the heart of Plaka. The owner Aris and managers of Delima downstairs were kind and very helpful, especially Zoi, who was incredibly friendly and helped us set up a private wine tasting down the street at Maria’s Taverna. Delima, Spinalonga Restaurant, and Maria’s are all owned by the same person (excellent food and service!). Lots of other restaurants and shops within a 1-5 minute walk, too! And the view of Spinalonga Island from the balcony was amazing. We had all we needed for a comfortable stay, and we were very sad to leave!

We spent a few very pleasant days in Antonis's apartment.

The accommodation is tastefully decorated and has a large terrace with great views of the sea and Spinalonga Island. It's in an area with craft shops, restaurants and easy access to the beach. Thank you very much, Antonis!

We arrived with very high expectations after reading all the positive reviews, and we can honestly say that the apartment exceeded them.

The apartment is modern, comfortable, and very well equipped. Housekeeping was provided twice during our 10-day stay, which was a wonderful bonus and helped keep everything fresh and tidy.

The highlight for us was the incredible terrace view overlooking Spinalonga Island. We could have spent hours just sitting there, enjoying the scenery and the peaceful atmosphere.

Zoi and the team from the cafe and shop downstairs were absolutely wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area. We would gladly stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had the most amazing stay at Antonis’ apartment in Plaka.

Whilst the photos of Spinolonga look incredible, even they cannot do the view justice from the balcony. Breathtaking if you want a morning waking up to the sunrise. The family in the shop below were very helpful with recommendations for food and trips (even offering the boat ride to Spinalonga free of charge). A fabulous stay and would urge anybody looking to visit Plaka not to look any further.

The apartment is new and matches the pictures. Our host (and also the staff in the shop) was very helpful and accommodating. We also got a free boat trip to Spinalonga through him. In addition, the refrigerator was filled with delicious drinks and some breakfast items.

great stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at this apartment! The place itself was super clean and really cozy, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. A really nice touch were the snacks, drinks, and even a bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge – it made us feel so welcome right from the start.

The location couldn’t be better. There’s a lovely little café just downstairs with delicious food and really friendly staff, which made it super convenient (and a bit dangerous, because we ended up going there a lot!).

All in all, it was a fantastic experience. We felt right at home and would definitely love to come back again.

Sehr schönes Appartement

Sehr schönes Appartement: sehr stilvoll, modern und hochwertig eingerichtet und gleichzeitig wirklich sehr gemütlich. Wir haben uns besonders wohl gefühlt. Auch der Empfang vor Ort war äußerst herzlich. Wir hatten jederzeit einen netten Ansprechpartner. Als Willkommensgruß war der Kühlschrank großzügig mit allem gefüllt, was man für einen guten Einstieg in den Urlaub benötigt. Und auch sonst war alles da, was man braucht. Das Appartement liegt in einem kleineren Örtchen wenige Schritte vom Meer entfernt, mit schönem Blick auf die Insel Spinalonga. Es gibt kleine Geschäfte und viele Tavernen in der Nähe, trotzdem ist es nicht laut und man kann wunderbar schlafen. Klimaanlage und Fliegengitter überall. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub. Vielen Dank!

From reserving sunbeds on beach to booking transfer back to airport. Zoe at the wine bar a deli downstairs was always friendly and helpful too.

Een heel mooie locatie aan zee

Antonis en zijn familie waren zeer gastvrij. Hij verwelkomde ons hartelijk ook al waren we 3uur vroeger dan voorzien. Een heel mooie locatie aan zee, perfect om te snorkelen voor ons, een bezoek aan Spinalonga, Elounda en Agios Nikolaos. Gezellige barretjes en leuke winkeltjes in Plaka. Een perfecte en idyllische uitvalsbasis in een modern, proper appartement met 3 terrasjes om te genieten van de zon en uitzicht op zee of bergen.

Thank you to Antonis, Ariz, Maria, and their whole family who really made us feel at home during our entire stay. We were looked after both regarding the apartment and also at their wonderful restaurants nearby. Anything you need or questions to ask, someone was smiling and ready to help. They also stocked the fridge and kitchen with some really great food, what a lovely surprise. We highly recommend this apartment stay and the family's nearby restaurants: Taverna Spinalonga, Maria's Taverna, and Delima.

This place is really amazing and has literally

ALL you need for a great stay! It felt like we were at home as everything is very well thought through. All the kitchen equipment came in handy. We even found a hair straightener :) The place was very clean and during our stay we had cleaning 3 times. ( We stayed there for 2 weeks). The beds and pillows are perfect! When we arrived the fridge was full of food and drinks ( much more than we expected) which we appreciated a lot! Aris ( the owner of the place) welcomed us and was really helpful! He has several restaurants which we also highly recommend (just a minute away from the place).The place is 2-min walk from the beach. There is a cafe Delima on the first floor right downstairs the apartment where you can have a drink and buy some great stuff. Our experience was really awesome and we would gladly come back again. if you choose this place you'll fall in love with it as we did :)
