Characterful Villa in a peaceful village

This beautifully converted olive press is a perfect place to stay if you want a restful stay in a peaceful & tranquil setting surrounded by stunning scenery. The village is very quaint and quiet with only one taverna and one mini market open during our stay. A car is a necessity to reach amenities. Overall we really enjoyed our time at Villa Fabrica.

Beautiful house in charming Cretan village

Loved our one-week stay... and wished we could have stayed for a month! Villa Fabrica is lovely, very comfortable, and has many outdoor areas to enjoy. Experiencing a bit of life in a Cretan village was another big plus. We woke up to church bells and a cooing dove. At breakfast one morning on the terrace, our background music was chanting from the St. John Theologos monastery. We said hello everyday to the lady who feeds the village cats and the gang hanging out at the mini-market/taverna. The owner Manolis is a great host. He escorted us to the property, gave directions to key places, and recommended things to do. The house is near a larger town for supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, etc. and the national road for getting around the island. A car is a must! Crete is a beautiful island. There is so much to see and do--ancient sites, lovely villages, beautiful beaches, monasteries, mountains, and delicious food.

Villa Fabrica

Manolis could not have been more helpful and the Villa was exactly how we had imagined it would be. Amazing location to explore that part of Crete and the Villa had everything that we needed and a wonderful place to relax in the evenings

Quiet, cool and roomy accommodation

The property is well appointed in a quiet village a few miles from the north coast. It has wonderful views across a valley to a monastery. Good place for birdwatching and relaxing on the cool shady terrace. Manolis is a discrete and thoughtful host. It is well situated for visiting many of crete's attractions. The house is cool and roomy, with hot sunny terraces if you like sunbathing.

Lovely stay at Villa Fabrica

We stayed at Villa Fabrica in May 2018 and loved it, the villa is very comfortable and easy to stay in, having breakfast on one of the balconies looking over the valley and the monastery is absolutely fabulous.The villa has got every convenience and is well maintained, and the village is very quiet and friendly. Walking up into the hills in the evening as the sun is going down is lovely. It is just a short drive into the many tavernas of Kokkini Hani where we enjoyed many tasty meals, so all in all an excellent holiday.
