It was a completely wonderful experience, not just a place to stay.
Ioannis and Maria are two amazing people who are surrounded by a wonderful family. They all gave us the warmest welcome we have experienced in our extended travels. Their house is a home. The village an extended family. We had the time of our lives.

A wonderful home base to explore the south of Crete
It is impossible to imagine more gracious hosts than Ioannis and Maria. I don't mean that as an exaggeration, I mean that I really can't imagine what more they could have done to make us feel comfortable and welcome. We arrived to a refrigerator stocked with strawberries, olives, cheese, tomatoes and eggs. Ioannis and Maria did a thorough job explaining the house, showing us where things where in the kitchen. They also gave us a light supper on our arrival and shared a glass of raki with us.
The house is in very good condition. The courtyard is full of flowers and has an orange tree where we picked fresh oranges every morning.
Vori is in a very good location -- close to the ruins at Phaistos and Gortyn, as well as the beaches of Kommos, Kalamaki, and Matala. We'd intended to visit other places but really didn't need to. The village has a pharmacy, a butcher, a minimarket, a nice taverna, and a bakery. If you need more services, Tymbaki is about a five minute drive away, and has things like a candy store, banks, bigger food markets, an ice cream shop, etc.
After a week we were sad to leave and very much hope to return one day.

Great place to stay
We stayed in this lovely house for a week and we would definetely come back. It is a spacious traditional house with three bedrooms a living room and a fully equipped cuisine. It has a very beautiful yard with trees and flowers where we really enjoyed having breakfast and staying till late at night. Having a free wifi was great.
The house is situated in a beautiful small village which is close to a variety of beautiful beaches and its location allows for different one-day trips.
What we really appreciated was the very friendly and helpful owners. Giannis offered to pick us up from the airport and guide us to the house just to make sure we would arrive well (we had rent a car of our own). He was willing to give us all information we needed and made some very interesting suggestions concerning things we should see,excursions to make and restaurants with original cretan cuisine.
The highlight of our holiday was the meal the owners prepared for us in the stone barbecue of the yard!! We will never forget how tasty lamb can be!! Thank you so much!
