This was a quaint comfy stay! The owner has put a lot of love and attention into the property, and it was really cool to see what it was before she did all the work. She did a great job fixing it up! The breakfast is delicious and very generous! The only minor thing was there wasn’t any WiFi. It is a somewhat remote location so that’s understandable. Overall a great stay and if you’re looking for an authentic Greek experience this is it!

Den fedeste lejlighed at bo i. 105 m2. De skønneste mennesker. Dejlig udsigt. Dejligt stille. Fedt at bo med de lokale i en lille landsby. Aliki, ejeren og Olga hendes assistent. De er de sødeste mennesker. Hvis du ikke er til store hoteller med alt for mange mennesker og all inklusiv , men vil ud i stilheden og bo i spændende bygninger blandt lokale. Så vælg Vasilikata. Der er ca 1 time til Heraklion lufthavn og ca 1 time 20 min igennem de smukke bjerge for at komme til stranden.

Dark rooms, not exact as on photos

Photos of the room are composition of several rooms with excellent light. In real room is dark with view from windows -> see photos. Our accommodation was alone besides ruins. Breakfast was pretty good and also service.

Don't let the quaint pictures fool you! First off, we picked this place because it was advertised with a restaurant/ taverna, which we told was closed when we arrived. Although the check in experience was wonderful (beer and cookies in an adorable reception area), the buildings next to the lodgings were all run down. While we intended to stay two nights, we left after one when my husband told me there was a mouse nibbling in our mattress while we were sleeping! I emailed the owner to complain and get my money back for the second night but I never heard back!

Schönes Zimmer, aber sehr kalt

Das Zimmer war wirklich sehr schön, aber die Heizung funktionierte nicht. Es war Anfang Oktober und sehr kalt draußen. Die Zimmer verfügten über eine Heizung, die aber nicht funktionierte. Angeblich funktioniert diese erst nach der Olivenernte!? Auch das Restaurant konnte nicht beheizt werden. Das Abendessen war alles andere als gemütlich. Nur im Bett war es warm. Das Abendessen im Hotel war, mit Ausnahme des hervorragenden griechischen Salates, nur lauwarm. Im Sommer mag alles besser sein, aber ab Oktober wohl eher nicht zu empfehlen. Trotz alledem sind die Gastgeber sehr nett.

Great stay

If you are looking for a place to relax then stay at Vileati. In the morning you will hear cocks waking the village, goats' bells gently ringing on the way to pasture or back home. Glorious sun in the morning just above the mountains gets you going. Food in Vilaeti taverna is very good, try Greek salad as in my opinion it's the best in Crete. The facility itself is comfortable and you will have everything you need for your stay. Enjoy.

sehr erholsamer Aufenthaltsort in den Bergen, alles war perfekt, die Ferienwohnungen sind in sehr alten Steinhäusern hübsch und komfortabel gestaltet und daher etwas ganz besonderes. Außerdem war das Frühstück und das Abendessen besonders lecker.

Cozy studio in a lovely traditional Cretan village

We just spent 2 wonderful nights at Vilaeti guest house, and would have loved to stay longer. Upon our arrival, the owner welcomed us with fresh orange juice and homemade cookies. Later she showed us a studio and an apartment, that we could choose from for the same price. The apartment was a traditional Cretan house, but a bit dark for our taste. So we chose the studio instead, which was smaller but very cozy and has a private balcony. The breakfast (included in the price) was excellent, and so was the dinner (the guest house has its own restaurant and all the food was from local products). Unfortunately the mattress was a bit too soft, and there was no A/C in our studio (it was really hot). But the little village was so peaceful and quiet that we could sleep with open windows. The guest house is also ideally located on the Lasithi Plateau, being one of the last traditional places in Crete. We would definitely return to Vilaeti and next time we'll stay there a whole week (hopefully it will be less hot)!

Take a break from the beach...

Not big on giving reviews, but this place really deserves a massive thumbs up. Rooms are rustic, but well appointed. Owners and staff are really friendly and helpful. Food and wine are AMAZING. Village is charming with some good shopping from local artisans. Lots of walking and site seeing to do in the surroundings.
