Guest Reviews
- CHRISTINA (9/5): - Ολα ηταν υπέροχα και παρα πολυ γραφικά! Το πρωινό εξαιρετικό και ευγενέστατη η ιδιοκτήτρια. Μια λεπτομέρεια που το έκανε να ξεχωρίζει ηταν οτι τα κλινοσκεπασματα και οι πετσέτες μοσχοβολουσαν καθαριότητα! Το μόνο αρνητικό ηταν οτι η μπανιέρα δεν ειχε υδρομασάζ.
- Marina (10/5): - Η διαμονή μας θα μείνει αξέχαστη. Η Αλίκη πρόθυμη να μας εξυπηρετήσει και νά μας δώσει οδηγίες.Το διαμέρισμα καθαρό και ανετο.Πλουσιο πρωινό. Ευχαριστούμε πολύ Αλίκη. Θα σας δούμε σύντομα. Με εκτίμηση Μαρίνα Δεν υπάρχει κάτι που δεν μου άρεσε
- Wilma (7/5): RUSTIG half uitgestorven en vervallen dorp met restaurants in de buurt zonder winkel. WIJ KREGEN NIET HET GEBOEKTE HUIS. - De rust. Het goede ontbijt. HET WAS NIET HET GEBOEKTE HUISJE ! Kleiner en minder luxe. Dit werd eerst ontkent door de eigenaresse die het zelf aan anderen had verhuurd, deze mensen spraken wij later uitgebreid. Nadat ik haar fout kon aantonen gaf ze ter compensatie gratis ontbijt. Dit huis was alleen via een nare route te bereiken met een klein autootje. De doucheruimte was erg krap, warm water moest in een meterkastje met een afgebroken schakelaar worden aan- en uitgezet. Keuken was ontoereikend ingericht. Ook was er niets in de de koelkast; geen water, geen raki, geen wijn, geen fruit, niets als welkom. We voelden ons niet welkom. Meubilair is leuk om te zien maar niet comfortabel.

- Στέφανος Γοργοράπτης (9/5): -
- Zacharias (10/5): Το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ άνετο και καθαρό και η Αλίκη ευγενέστατη και πολύ εξυπηρετική! -
- Uta (9/5): Einmalig, tolle Erfahrung. - Einmalige Lage in einem alten Bergdorf. Das Haus ist ein altes Bauernhaus, das renoviert und geschmackvoll eingerichtet wurde. Wir waren erstaunt, wie kalt es im Oktober schon wird, zum Glück gab es einen Elektroofen.
- AnnaVell (10/5): -
- Erna (9/5): Appartement typique et très cosy. Belle salle de bain. Hôte très agréable - On est dans un autre monde. Très sympa de loger dans une maisonnette typique. À faire Rien à signaler
- Ada (9/5): - Very nice old house that was renovated by the owner. For a breakfast you get a basket full of different products like cheese, jogurt, jam, honey, ham, fruits etc. It was all very tasty.
The owner was very helpfull and nice.
The adress on the booking is where the reception is located. From there you have to go with the owner, who shows you were exactly is your home, because they are in different locations The water in the shower was a too cold
- Monika (9/5): -
- Lieve (8/5): Goed - Het appartement was koel, wat heel welkom was met de warme dagen. Het bed was zeker het beste van heel onze rondreis.
Het ontbijt was fantastisch, ruime keuze en een zeer vriendelijke bediening. Het is een beetje jammer dat de toegang, die tegelijk ook het grootste deel van het licht binnen verschaft, vlak aan de straat is, waardoor passanten - al zijn die er weinig - direct in het appartement kunnen binnenkijken. Er was wel een gordijntje dat je kon toeschuiven.
Er waren de eerste nacht van ons verblijf ook luidruchtige bovenburen, maar daar kan de eigenaar natuurlijk niets aan doen.
- Alexis (10/5): -
- Frank (6/5): Niet helemaal tevreden - Leuk dat de eigenaar oude huizen opknapt in dit dorp. Je voelt je hierdoor onderdeel van het geheel. Heerlijk koel, geen airco nodig. Goed verzorgd ontbijt Ons huisje was erg armoedig. Gammel. ‘ badkamer’ super klein, in de douche een matje ( zag er niet fris uit) over open afvoerputje. Geen mogelijkheid om douchekop op te hangen, wel nieuwe douchekop. Keukentje niet goed uitgerust. Gammele stoeltjes om tafeltje. Overal kussens en dingetjes ( naaimachines) wij denken dat er, gezien de reviews, zeker mooie andere huisjes van haar zijn, daar viel die van ons niet onder. Jammer.
- Lara stella (8/5): - Very cozy room, beautiful big bed and amazing big bathtub. The breakfast was really good, with local products, salted and sweet choice and fresh fruits.
- Philippe (10/5): Un appartement typique idéalement situé sur le plateau. - Accueil charmant et sympathique de notre hôtesse qui a toujours était réactive pour nous répondre.
Nous la félicitons pour le travail de rénovation des maisons du village et lui souhaitons d en rénover encore beaucoup.
L appartement est confortable, agréable et dans un endroit très calme.
Idéalement situé pour rayonner sur le plateau du lassithi.
La formule proposée pour le petit déjeuner est originale .Le petit déjeuner est copieux . Rien de particulier.
- Rémi (7/5): Bon emplacement - J’ai aimé l’emplacement et la décoration du logement Le manque d’aération dans le logement (pas de ventilateur et de fenêtre à ouvrir dans la chambre)
- Fabienne (9/5): -
- Christine (10/5): Un saut hors du temps... - Le calme absolu. L'authenticité du village. L'ambiance et la décoration de l'appartement. Un lieu où le temps semble s'être arrêté...
La gentillesse de Marinella qui nous a apporté des petits déjeuners pantagruéliques. Rien. On est un peu loin de tout mais c'était ce que nous recherchions. A déconseiller si vous avez besoin de l'agitation d'une grande ville ou de plages bondées et bruyantes !
- Gabriele (10/5): Exceptional - What a treat to stay in an old but renovated house to get an insight into the traditional life at the plateau. We loved the peace and quiet of this charming town and the easy way of getting around.
- Pennie (10/5): Exceptional - Serene location in a tiny village. Beautiful rooms. Excellent bed.
- Aspa (9/5): Superb -
- Μανούσος (9/5): Superb -
- Corsei (10/5): Exceptional - Very authentic experience.
- Daniel (9/5): Superb - Really nice host, nice and cozy renovated buildings/appartments, really nice bathroom Breakfast delivered to appartment very tasty, but a serving of coffee or tea would be nice
- Jerome (9/5): Nice stay in Lassithi plateau! - Very nice place and lovely people welcoming you! It's a good place to stay on the Lassithi plateau. We also got very good restaurant recommendations!
- Marcin (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice designed and comfortable quiet place to stay. We were impressed by delicious breakfast from local products. It surprised us not only by a taste but a big portion too. Additionally, close to the room is a fantastic tavern which we recommend to visit.
- Anthony (10/5): Excellent stay - Traditional, comfortable, off the beaten track though close enough to the Dikteoan caves. Local taverna Dikti serves beautiful Moussaka. Nothing
- Edward (10/5): Vasilikata is a small slice of heaven! Enjoyed every minute. - Amazing stay. We loved the location, a small village in the mountains. The restored rooms are absolutely beautiful. Would have loved a few bottles of water in the room.
- Alberto (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Gerald (10/5): Exceptional -
- Foteini (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eleni (9/5): Superb -
- Alexandra (10/5): very nice - The idea behind Vasilikata is really great, restaure buildings in a mountain cabin style with all the comfort one desire. The environment on the Lassithi Plateau is exquisite. Just so you know, during our stay there was no wifi network but we could use our own cellular internet so we were not bothered by it.
- Sergei (6/5): Wasted money and moved somewhere else - Our visit began with the realization that the Deluxe apartment lacked a kitchen. We couldn't avail the breakfast option since my wife has a specific diet, and we prefer cooking our own meals at home. This was our oversight; we didn't notice when reserving the apartment that there was no kitchen. The host offered us another apartment with a kitchen, a Studio Apartment, for the same price. We agreed. What did we like? Polite, friendly host, good communication (we inquired about Wi-Fi and were provided with a portable device for Wi-Fi access). The kitchen had everything necessary, except perhaps olive oil. There's parking available. Convenient shower with a curtain, and a hairdryer is provided. Some might appreciate that the apartment is kept in a very vintage style (carpets on the walls, a fireplace, a chandelier resembling branches, an old rocking chair), although I personally didn't find it appealing and felt somewhat creepy. For those who enjoy sitting outside, there's a table and two chairs. Location. This was my second oversight, alongside the kitchen issue. I should have checked in advance that getting to any destination from this place would take a considerable amount of time. It seemed like a central point between the north and the south, but in reality, it was challenging to reach. We were prepared to endure an hour's drive to the southern beaches, but as it turned out, the hour-long drive as shown by Google Maps was an unpaved, bumpy, rocky mountain road. Such a road could only be navigated by an off-road vehicle, not a car like a Fiat Panda. We could only reach Zeus's Cave quickly; there were no other interesting places in the vicinity.
What else didn't we like? The entire village seemed deserted. The Studio Apartment is situated in a way that it's quite dim inside, combined with the old interior, the rocking chair, and the elderly walking stick – all of this psychologically invoked a sense of horror in me, and it wasn't peaceful to sleep at night. Moreover, it was stuffy, and there's no air conditioning in the apartment.
There's no shade in the parking lot, and the car was subjected to intense heat.
There was nothing to keep us in this place. We left the apartment after just two nights, even though I had paid for six nights. Thus, I agreed to throw money away (which I never do). We moved to another apartment and didn't regret it.
- Sara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - You never know what you are going to find in out-of-the way places. In Ag. Konstantinos, a village of 175 people, we found Vasilikata guest houses. Our villa was comprised largely of stone inside with loads of room. The owner, Aliki Dialina, had stocked our refrigerator with plenty of food.. The villa was very clean and had everything we needed. It was an excellent place to stay in the Lassithi Plateau.
- Jure (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anthony (8/5): Good place to ho to visit authentic Greece; When you visit with a fly and drive start with this region which id authenti - Well located to visit Lasithi region , local touch small bathroom
- John (1/5): glad to leave. - you couldn’t see it when you were asleep,
breakfast was excellent, if double the expected price, probably because it is provided by a third party down the lane. the publicity photographs are a model of deceit, the interior of the built-into-the-bedrock rooms will never ever be as bright as the images depict. Wi-Fi is promised but is transient. hot water was entirely absent as, conspicuously, was the owner from both the premises and the reception building. A plumber appeared and disappeared as we were leaving.
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sofia (8/5): Very good - Excelent location, very friendly host. The hommade stawbery and apple jams at breakfast! The breakfast even thought it was extremely rich as a buffet, the items were cold.
- Angelina (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful, warm, cozy and clean old apartment with fire place and kitchen. The shower didn't get too warm, but it was ok, when not fully turning the water up.
- Shawna (10/5): Unique and wonderful experience! - We stayed in the ground floor apartment during the winter (January) for 8 days. Our apartment had its own kitchen, making our stay much easier. There are not many restaurants in the village open during the winter, so we were able to cook simple meals for ourselves in our kitchen.
Check-in was very easy. Aliki gave us a few maps of the village, plateau, and hiking trails.
Breakfast: Our first breakfast we served at our apartment. Aliki brought a buffet of food for us to choose from. It was delicious but we definitely preferred the breakfast that Aliki prepares for guests in the shared Breakfast house. She cooks a wide range of fresh, delicious foods.
Location: Middle of nowhere! It seems like most people pass through for a day or two but we LOVED the extended solitude of this quiet village. Malia is very close, so we were able to pick up groceries and eat out on occasion. There are plenty of hiking trails near by and nature trails to explore. (PS - DO NOT ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GPS - it will lead you down some weird, dangerous roads)
Apartment: Well equipped kitchen, fireplace, good wifi, living room/lounge area, and the most comfortable bed ever (I'm 6 months pregnant, so this was a huge win for me). The building itself was unique in that it retains most of its original stone work. It was by far my favorite stay in our 3 week trip to Greece. Just one thing to note:
The shower is quite small. It took us some practice to not spray water all over the bathroom. It added to the charm of our experience once we got used to it.
- Sue (9/5): Cretan stay at its best - Out of the six properties on our Crete holiday this was the one I was looking forward to the most, and it didn't disappoint. A beautiful renovated stone house in a tiny hamlet with very friendly locals, we were gifted some freshly baked bread by our neighbours! Comfy bed and beautiful fireplace with a seating area outside. Only the bathroom lets it down a bit, would be better as a wet room due to the small space and ditch the hand held shower and the toilet bowl was a bit grim. Breakfast was taken in another house and was amazing with so much choice. If you want to sample real Cretan life then stay here. Bathroom
- Marie-stephanie (8/5): Very good -
- Maciej (10/5): Exceptional - I highly recommend this place! Host is very friendly and helpful, breakfasts are delicious, there were even friendly cats! The village is quiet, beds are nice, there are glasses in the room and a lot of space.
- Manus (10/5): True Greek Hospitality - We stayed at Vasilikata for two nights. We met Aliki at the Reception building and she drove us to the house where we stayed. Reception is also a small shop selling local handicrafts, herbs, wine, etc.
We booked a small room, but Aliki generously offered a much larger one, which we accepted.
It was clean and well furnished. It had a kitchen which was well equipped, with electric coffee pot, microwave, and plenty of crockery.
We also found coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. This generosity continued. We were given a decanter of raki make by Aliki’s father. I enjoyed a drink of raki after dinner. (There are two restaurants within a ten minute walk - bring a torch).
The next morning we walked to a nearby house where a breakfast buffet was provided. It was worthy of an expensive five star hotel. Freshly made juice from locally grown peaches, fresh pears, pomegranates, apples, grapes, oranges, etc. All are grown locally. When I expressed an interest, Aliki invited us to see her family farm. There was also omelette, cold meats, cheese, cakes and we were offered freshly fried eggs.
Coffee and mountain tea, (gathered locally of course) were also provided.
Breakfast is €7.50 per person and was fantastic value.
Aliki is renovating farmhouses in the village, including the one we stayed in. We experienced genuine Greek hospitality at Vasilikata and recommend it highly.
- Raffael (10/5): Exceptional - It was a really exclusive stay in our appartment. It is placed in an old town, the owner renovates old houses and rents them. The rooms are really nice decorated and look lovely! The bed is very comfortable!! It is so silent in the town so that we had a really good sleep at night. We also need to mention the breakfast that was served as a buffet in another house some minutes wald, so lovely and delicious food! We highly recommend to stay at this accomodation when possible!
- Xristina (10/5): Exceptional -
- George (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was very rich and tasty
Very quiet location in the center of traditional village
Very comfortable bed
The room was a traditional renovated room with a unique local decoration
