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.

Only one thing: the pillows on the bed were the molded type and were too hard and large for me.

Beautifully restored stone house in a lovely traditional Cretan village.

Parking was a problem on tight streets, but there was always something to find

an incredibly atmospheric place.

Surprisingly, the kitchen has hardly any crockery, no glasses, plates or cutlery. The bed is very nice but it is very very uncomfortable

Beautiful house in a beautiful town

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.

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 🙂

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.

Very nice place, great food at the restaurant

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.

Amazing place, very particolar, quite and off Road from the biggest cities. We got there very tired from a long trip and Maria was the sweetest, welcomed us in the best way, served amazing food in her cafè which I recommand as well, made everything comfortable for us. We had a great sleep and enjoyed a lot the experience. The Village Is very small and perfect for a chilled evening.

The fridge didn’t work. We were staying for one night so it didn’t really matter

I loved where the house was located in a traditional Village. The owner was lovely and welcoming.

Great host and the way he treated us was just amazing. A traditional drink "raki" was wating for our group. And the house creates an atmosphere of the time gone by. The nearby tavern and an old olive factory are the places where you can enjoy your time with very friendly local people.

Nothing.

Great location to get away from it all. Maria and her family are great hosts and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The room was nice and cool and very spacey. Close by Maria and her family have a cafe/restaurant and a cool little mini bar, the bar is very chilled out and great after a long day on the road. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I’d love to come back to Vafes again. You feel connected to nature here.

The bathroom was really outdated. It was small and clean, but size doesn't matter.

The host was really kind. I checked in later than supposed but she was still waiting for me. I think it is a fine place to stay during your trip around Crete

If you have mobility problems be warned that the staircase inside is very steep. It was fine for us though. The aircon downstairs worked fine, but we couldn't get the one in the bedroom to go on.

This little place up in the foothills of the White Mountains was delightful. The host Maria was especially friendly and helpful and it was clearly a family run establishment including the little cafe. The village is a proper Cretan place, not aimed at tourism and the house was an old building with a little balcony and character. It was a lovely place to stop for the night on arrival and before heading over the mountains. We accidentally took our key on to Sfakia and messaged them to apologise. They couldn't have been kinder. We dropped it off on our way back. Lovely people!
