George et Irini sont des hôtes hyper accueillants. L'appartement est superbe, très bien placé, au calme. Il faudrait pouvoir mettre 6 étoiles ! Je recommande sans réserve

We had a wonderful stay at the Rafkos mansion. Stelios the owner took us wherever we needed to go and we had delicious meals at one of the local restaurants. It would be wise to have a car because it’s in a village about 30mins. from Heraklion. Stelios is the definition of Greek hospitality!

My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay, 5/5. The host Stelios is very welcoming, helpful and kind. The mansion is beautiful, our room was amazing with a private balcony and the pool looks over the valley and Heraklion. Go to the village restaurant Stelios recommends, it was one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. I saw a review complaining about a dog, the property has a fence around it and a gate so I don’t understand the complaint. I also didn’t hear or see a dog and the area seemed perfectly safe.

We had 2 wonderful nights at Rafkos Hill Mansion with our two boys age 10 and 12. The owner was very accomodating and friendly and gave us great tips on restaurants and local attrations. We highly recommend this accomodation and location - this is the real Crete and the prices in the area reflects that. Thank you Rafkos - we loved your place!

Really enjoyed our week at Vergis Epavlis. Stella and Stelios were fantastic the breakfast was amazing - traditional Greek food all home made with local produce with something different each day. The room (angles) was great - very clean, quiet, good WiFi and comfy bed. Accommodation was around 30min from airport in a nice quiet traditional village which had a few shops and excellent kebab takeout! Thanks again for great stay.
