If you want traditional this is it. Lack of utensils, hot water not on when we arrived had to ask how. Bed creaking.

We needed a stop over for my daughter wedding so booked this a while ago and with a drive of 50 mins from our holiday hotel we thought this being 14 mins away from the winery venue would be much better. We got to the village ok but couldn't find the Stonehouse but did email before to see where we get the keys from and it was the café. we got there and there didn't speak very good English but I take this as I should have learnt Greek so my bad really. There was taken to the room and we thought it was very nice but after wash and we were on our way to the venue and not back till 1am. So no problem and really loved this Stonehouse but on look at the booking and after looking on line it seems we were give a villa not the 1 double bed and 2 single with a bath the villa only had a shower? a disappointment as I can remember I did pay more at the time.
Also when taking to I think it was the cook she said the café was open 24/7 but when we left at 7.30am it was closed and had to leave the key in the room? didn't like to do this but no other away we could have done this.
That said I would recommend this place but make sure you get what you pay for and would go back as we think we still got value for the money paid.

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.

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.

The apartment was perfect, everything we needed with loads of character. The village was amazing, hardly anyone spoke english, which was no problem as the whole community would help us out! The food from the apartment host's taverna was simple traditional greek food, at a price you wouldn't believe. Across the road was a minimarket where all the locals went to drink raki of an evening. They even bought us some, and the owner gave us plenty of nice little plates of nibbles - we only went in for a packet of tissues!! All in all, a perfect apartment in a perfect village.

This hotel is place in traditional village in mountains. The houses are made from big stones and handcrafted wooden beams. Beads are traditionally made out of wood they have got nice carvings on them.
Village is very small and compact with narrow streets. People are very friendly.
Food provided by owners of the hotel is excellent, made from local products.
Tavern it self is very special, on the walls you can find old guns and pictures of local people who has fought for independence.
