We had a wonderful time in patriko residence : the house was big, very clean and well equiped (including baby equipment - we were traveling with our baby ) with a charming shady terrasse in front of it. Manolis and his wife are so nice and helpful, they made our stay absolutely perfect! the village of vafes is really nice (it has 2 cafes, 1 taverna and 2 shops) and well located just 20 minutes from the beach yet in a very typical environment. Our stay in patriko residence was the best part of our holidays in crete and we totally recommend the place.
