Pros:

Gera patirtis tradiciniame kaime. Originalus ir autentiškas kambarys akmeniniame name, viskas švaru ir graži aplinka. Verta apsilankyti kaimelyje esančiame Alyvuogių aliejaus muziejuje, kurio šeimininkas įdomiai papasakojo apie aliejaus gamybą. Šalia viešbučio yra dvi tavernos, kur patiekalai labai skanūs ir nebrangūs, o porcijų dydis šokiruoja!
Patogi viešbučio lokacija, nes Vafes yra netoli Chanijos ir Retimno

Pros:

L'emplacement et le calme d'un petit village, parfait pour rayonner dans les environs (entre Rethymnon et la Canée)
L'authenticité, la pierre, la terrasse, de quoi se faire un minimum de cuisine.

Cons:

Frigo très petit mais ce n'est qu'un détail.

Authentic experience
Pros:

Good place to stay if you want some authentic experience. The house is located in a small village in the hill countryside and the surrounding area is beautiful. And it is only 40 minute drive to both Rethymno and Chania, which was very comfortable. 8 minutes down the hill is a bigger village with shops, supermarkets and cafes. The family runs the restaurant also which has traditional greek dishes. Very friendly people. There are plenty of spaces to park the car.
The room was clean.

Cons:

The bed was a little bit small. And the bathroom also is not very big. The pressure of water in the shower is very low.
