Monthly Rentals in Vafes

The villa was perfect and exactly what I needed for a few days away with my 2 dogs. The large garden is totally enclosed and dog friendly. The villa is only 5 minutes walk to the village but is so quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay there again. As I said it was perfect. Thank you for making me and my girls feel so welcome

Maria’s place was lovely. At night you could only hear the sound of cicadas. They are an older couple who live on the property and rent the extra room & bathroom, which is next door to their place in a separate annex. There is a shared terrace with lovely views. They are super lovely and friendly and it’s part of the experience to talk with them. Everything was clean and tidy and was all that we needed. We’d liked to have stayed another night just to really enjoy the tranquility but it was booked up. You’re a bit in the middle of nowhere but we liked that! It’s a short drive to the town with loads of tavernas and lake kourna is very close by. I’d definitely recommend this as a place to stay. Both were full of smiles and keen to help if you needed it. Maria made a lovely quince jelly / jam for us.

A great little place away from the crowds but close to a great village. The house was just what we wanted. Thanks for a great stay and the gifts, hope to be back soon.

We stayed at Despina's in Fres in February and March. From meeting us at the airport and helping us pick up our hire car she was always available if we needed advice. Driving into Fres you head for the village square and drive through it through an archway. Carry on this road for about 300m. Just beyond a small church on the left you will see it in front of you. There is a small undercover car parking space with the stairs to get to the flat. Despina's father lives in the flat below. He is very kind and despite not speaking English we managed to understand each other. We were also lucky to be given lemons, oranges,eggs and olive oil from his garden. The area is beautiful and rural with the sounds of goats and chickens to listen to whilst sipping wine on the balcony looking towards the sea. The area is a great base for exploring especially Vamos, Almyrida and the Apokoronas region. Chania and Rethymno are not too far either. I can't recommend Despina's place highly enough.
