    Authentic and quiet. Food at the restaurant (even at 11pm+).

    Beautiful rustic house. Authentic but all the required comfort for us. The place is quite large including a nice terrace. Air conditioning on both floors. Affordable breakfast and dinner on site if needed. Maria and her mother were very nice throughout our stay. Thank you so much!

    It is quite far from a lot of the attractions and a little bit difficult without a car but it is easy to taxi from Vryses and bus around from here. We also walked the 50 min walk from Vryses a number of times. We enjoyed this plus made friends with the locals who were kind enough to give us the occasional ride

    The property was so cool, it was a very comfortable traditional house that stayed cold on very hot days. Plus there was aircon too. The property was also very clean and well looked after. The hosts are very lovely and welcoming and so accomodating. It is a small local village and a very authentic experience. We absolutely loved our stay, the local tavern is always buzzing with people from the village (a small number), there is a cute little gift shop and some walking by trails close by. The closest town where you can get the bus is Vryses which is about a 50 min walk down hill

    An authentic Cretan house in a sleepy little town just steps to one of two local tavernas. There is also a few short hiking paths within steps from the property. a lovely place to stay for a couple nights. we stayed for 3 nights. many other villages to explore just near by.

    The village is very small, no shops, no cash machine, two small tavernas. But also almost no tourists- which is why we chose it. :) Nearest larger village is about 10min drive away.

    Lovely traditional stone house in a tiny, quiet village. The well equipped and cozy apartment had plenty of room for us (three people). Beautiful mountain view from the terrace. Breakfast at the nearby taverna where the very friendly owners were always available to answer questions etc.

    Some things to improve regarding the room eqipment.

    Quiet location in a tipical Greek village. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are simple, but comfortable. Reccomended for people who would like to enjoy a tipical traditional Greek experience.

    Nothing 🙂

    We had a great short stay in this stonehouse! The village where this is located is a very nice calm place. I also praise the host for her friendliness and her restaurant/café had delicious food to offer! Be aware that this house is really simple equipped but for this price and the 2 nights stay it was more than enough.

    During our stay there was no Wi-Fi reportedly due to the weather. So a good place to truly fall under the radar.

    It's in a lovely traditional village where they have a couple of caves and some lovely surroundings . The home is made of stone with a fire place, air conditioner and a kitchen. The highlight of the area was Lotus shop, a nice place with plenty of things with historical value.

    Could have had a better collection of cutlery, some tea/coffee mugs, glaases for wine. Communication was a bit difficult as the phone number on booking.com is for a kafeneion that is closed during the day.

    Room an excellent sixe, bed and bedside tables, seating area and table, dining table and chairs, wardrobe and dressing table, fridge, small cooker. Our room had a fireplace you could roast an ox in! Nice enclosed courtyard at the back and stairs up to a roof balcony with nicw view of the village. Quiet village on walking trails.

    The kitchen was poorly stocked with no essentials and very few and sparse cutlery and crockery. Would be quite difficult to organise a meal. The studio feels a bit claustrophobic and dark during the day, but cosy enough at night, although I would not recommend staying if you are alone and are a bit of a scaredy cat as it feels you are sleeping in the dungeons.

    Very quiet location in the tiny village of Vafes. It was lovely to sit in the private courtyard. The host was very kind and welcoming.

    Nothing has been invested in dishes, glasses, cutlery. We had to go to the cafenion to get enough coffee cups, knifes and even the promised coffee maker. Chairs in the small courtyard are metal, stylish and very robust. Chairs in the large courtyard were plastic and all broken. One of the rooms could not be locked, neither the front door to the courtyard. Communication was a bit difficult as no English was spoken, but translation apps and Fotos did the job.

    Very nice House, nice courtyards. Lovely architecture. We would clearly recommend this house for example for a family as it contains three apartments with small separate bathrooms each. But bring some kitchen equipment with you.
