Giannis was an amazing host. We arrived quite late for the check in and he waited for us and took the time to go through all the details of the house and the area and filled us in with lots of nice local restaurants and places that we should visit.
The house is a traditional Greek stone and timber house done to the highest standard and making you feel like you travelled back in time yet having all the luxuries of the present.
As the weather was not great for a few days during or stay at Mamma Vasso, we explored the indoor places and Giannis helped us pick the right spots and also greeted us in his friend’s coffee shop in the centre of Vathi village and served us a hot tea 😊.

The location was amazing as we had a car to travel around with. It was 15 minutes away to Elafonissi Beach (and the great restaurant called Glykeria) and around 1 hour to Chania which we went to every day. Chania was amazing, it’s Crete’s pearl and a very romantic little town with great taverns and beautiful little spice or jewellery shops.
We definitely recommend Mamma Vasso as you will have a personalised experience and you will definitely go back like we will 😊.
Thanks so much Giannis.
