Vafes Traditional Stone Houses

Just a gorgeous, serene location.

We were expecting an apartment but this was a house with two bathrooms, living room, kitchen and bedroom plus two balconies and a stupendous view extending180 degrees across to the mountains and all the way to the coast. It was very quiet and private. Vafes is small and friendly but only a 5 minute drive down the hill to Vrisses which has all the amenities needed such as shops and restaurants. You can access the National Highway from Vrisses and it's just a short drive to the coast at Georgioupouli or to many other small towns and villages. The area is excellent for walking.

The most beautiful place where you can experience the Cretan tradition, cuisine, music, meet and get to know the Cretans.The house was very spacious and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, courtyard with barbecue all in the traditional style, very nice and tastefully framed.The owners are very kind hospitable always available for everything you need with a smile on his face.In their taverns can get breakfast, lunch, real Cretan specialties, you can even agree on what and when you want to eat.I read some bad reviews for this accommodation such is not clean , there is no wifi in the room and things like that .IF you want luxury and wifi in the room, maid every day you have to pay a lot more than what it costs this accommodation so that it is not okay to write such comments,you get what you pay ,but sometimes it is not true because we have paid a much higher price in Rethymnon and get less than here even though it was wifi in the room, etc.All who love to experience the real Crete recommend to visit this place.

Fabulous accomadation as it is all new and authentic with a modern twist as regards facilities. consisted of living room with bedroom upstairs(on Suite). Balcony outside. From living room through outside space to seperate kitchen. Space was really too large for a couple. We stayed 3 days but the accomodation would be suitable if you settled in for a week. Village is very small with one very good tavern. Probably good for walking tours. You would definately need your own car.
