We could not say enough about how excellent the place and the host were. The house, in stone and wood, is very elegant and comfortable with all necessary facilities. It is perfect for small groups of friends/ couples or a family, as it offers independent rooms with private bathrooms.
The village is away from the touristic hustle in a nice rural area, between the beautiful city of Rethymnon and the city of Chania. Just next doors to the house; you can visit an old and well-preserved old olive-oil mill.
The host, Mr Valsamakis, was more than kind and helpful; he knew a lot about the area and its history and could make a perfect guide. He also very willingly helped us when we made a mistake with the arrival time.
We went there with a group of international friends and we all felt like home. Our stay at Vafes was one of the best moments of our cretan tour! We would definetely stay at mr Manolis' great place again!
