Clean and comfortable apartments with breath-taking views

Description
It's no coincidence that this group of pretty apartments have the name Bella Vista - the view from each one is breath-taking. 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 Sissi and the coastline.
Located 45 kms from Heraklion, and approx 10 minute walk away from the lovely beach. Wander down to Sissi for a taste of vibrant nightlife, or there are a number of other towns and villages worth a visit including Stalis and Malia. The studios and apartments are roomy, tastefully furnished and equipped with a basic kitchenette with two cooking rings. 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.
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 approx 10 minute walk away with its wonderful shallow sea and vast stretch of sand and there are a number of towns beyond the village of Sissi worth a visit: Stalis and Malia are nearby and Heraklion is only 45 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 Sissi 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. The hotel is located on the outskirts of the resort (as it is a bit of a walk into the resort). All rooms are accessed by steps, studio rooms are located at the top of the hill, which are accessed by many steps.
