Mr. Manolis (the owner) is deserving to be an airbnb super host; he is a real Cretan hospitable gentleman that his careful attention to all of our needs during our staying at his 7 bed house made our holiday one of the best ever. The house, garden and terraces were very clean, tidy, cozy with a distinctive traditional character. The overall ambience of the traditional house within the surrounding natural landscape is unique and cannot be described with words or captured on the photos provided in Airbnb. The village offers great dining, drinking, and breakfast experience at Mrs. Stavroula restaurant (which was recommended by Mr. Manolis), free of charge historical cave sightseeing and olive oil mill museum that Mr. Manolis and/or other residents of Vafes village would be more than happy to show you around. The village is well located between Rethymno and Hania and it can be a good starting point for various excursions in the wider area or for those which are looking for more relaxing holidays it can be the place to stay. We were a multinational group from Romania, UK, Japan, Korea and Greece and one thing that we regretted is that we stayed there for only for 3 nights! We all missed the village and the kind people we met there and we are grateful to Mr. Manolis for the memorable moments that he offered to us during our staying at Patriko residence.
