This beautiful, welcoming little home was like living inside a gracious piece of living art. It has been painstakingly renovated as a labor of love by its owners, and everywhere you look, both inside and outside, is peace, order, beauty, and delight. We had everything we needed for our comfort and ease in this well-equipped house, including a beautifully working woodstove and an elegant bathtub. And of course I was not disappointed by the location: incredibly close to everything, including the airport, Heraklion, and all the major tourist sites, while serenely sequestered in a small hill village.

We enjoyed our brief stay at Villa Fabrica during our brief visit to Crete. The property is very rustic and beautiful and worked well for our family of five (including three teens). Manolis set up a third bed in the second bedroom, so everyone had a spot to sleep at night, and the A/C units worked well - important in July in Greece! Our ferry got in a bit late, so it was late and getting dark by the time we arrived and the local taverna was closed that day (and market has very limited food options), so we drove to a restaurant Manolis recommended about 12 minutes away and had the most amazing meal. We also ate at the local taverna in the village square our last night, and that was also wonderful -highly recommend both! The master bedroom was comfortable, but be aware that there aren’t shutters so unless you bring an eye cover, the sun will wake you quite early. And there are barking dogs in the neighborhood - so ear plugs are also a good idea if you are a light sleeper. We had just come from Oia in Santorini, so this was a very sharp contrast to the tourist packed streets. Here, I think we were about the only tourists amongst the locals and had a chance to glimpse what life would be like in a small Greek village. It is a very small village and there are a number of boarded up properties on the way to the Fabrica, but we saw that throughout Greece - and hopefully over time, those will also be mended. Overall, we had a very nice stay here and really appreciated how responsive and helpful Manolis was, providing recommendations and answering questions. Highly recommend if you are looking for a more rural, peaceful, authentic Greek experience.
