Patriko Traditional Stone Houses

Amazing place if you just want to get away to a quiet village and immerse yourself in traditional Greek living... we stayed in the right side upper level stone house... the kitchen was a perfect size with everything you need for cooking and cleaning... there was a small dining table inside as well as a table on the outside terrace... small living room area with fireplace and a loft upper bedroom area also with outside terrace... the bed was comfortable and loved the fact that there was a toilet in the loft area and the second bathroom with a shower on the lower level... great hiking areas around... and a traditional tavern with wonderful homemade food across the street... We really loved the owner of the stone house, who was very helpful and personal.. his wife made treats that she would drop off throughout our stay, which was a great personal touch... overall, we loved the whole experience... we were there in February and really enjoyed the sunny terraces and sitting outside in the sun... this is a gem that we will always remember and will return to when we revisit Crete in the future...

Everything was great!!

A peak stay in Crete thanks to the lovely hospitality, serene location and charming 2 story stone house with great sunset view from balcony terrace.. Delightful personal welcome with village history, homemade raki, and delicious cake. Highly recommend.

Old world charm. Manolis and Eva were so hospitable and lovely to chat to. Great location with some really interesting things to see in Vafes, Maza and area

Nothing

The owners are helpful, hospitable and very nice people. They became a little bit family in the end. The house is made of stone and beautiful, and has everything you may need.

Nothing.

The place you can truly rest, Host most kind we've ever met, the house even more comfortable than pictures, 50 meters to local traditional restaurant as well as handmade gifts, beds, bedrooms, bathrooms comfortable and clean, kitchen equiped as needed, all the more that you can afford divine greek cuisine at decent price, you dont have to cook, try local specialities. We highly recommend:) Magda, Luki, Borys from Wrocław PL.

Mr. Manolis was very hospitable, he made available to us a larger apartment than we booked. Every now and then he made sure we had everything we needed. Vafes is a very good base to explore the entire western part of the island (provided you have a rental car). There are plenty of shops and restaurants in nearby Vrises. Vafes itself is a very quiet village where you can relax after sightseeing.

Not enough cats ;)
