About this property

Villa Fabrika - Recent stone-built house in a traditional village of south Crete

Our villa is a recent, stone-built house of 115 square metres, plus a 25 square metres courtyard. It is a ground-floor house, conceived as a spacious and comfortable place to live, with large, stone-walled rooms, furnished with much care.
The Fabrika villa consists in a large kitchen-living room with full equipment and fireplace, a living room with a large table, sofa-bed and other furniture,two bedrooms with double beds (one of them with its own door towards outside) and one spare bedroom in the depth of living room area with two twin beds and a bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have air condition.The courtyard has a grill, and is the perfect place to enjoy the warm summer evenings around a drink or a dinner.
The villa is ideal for a family (one couple with up to at least four children), or for two families with children (couples in the bedrooms, children in the sofa beds or the small child beds if they are small).
The villa is located in Faneromeni village, in south central Crete (Messara region), near Mires and Timbaki towns, and a couple of kilometres from the village of Vori. The place is very quiet, and you will find everything for your stay within a couple of kilometres (supermarkets, traditional markets, health centre, pharmacy, banks, etc.) in Mires and Timbaki, approximately 8km from the villa.

Good base for visiting the area
After an initial misunderstanding about the time of arrival we had a very pleasant stay at Villa Fabrika. Following a couple of nights in some tourist rooms at Kalamaki, the house had an air of comfort and luxury! There’s one double bed with a soft mattress another one with a firm mattress and two single beds in an alcove of the living room with rock hard mattresses. The kitchen is well equipped, but apart from boiling eggs and making toast for breakfast, we didn’t actually cook anything. The house is opposite a goat farm , so coming from the countryside, this only enhanced our stay. Others however, might be perturbed by the flies and the smell? The morning sun arrives directly in the courtyard at the front of the house, so, despite a parasol being available, we ate our breakfasts inside with the doors and windows open. The house is in the village of Faneromeni which is just a short drive from the market towns of Tympaki and Mires. There’s a couple of restaurants and kafeneios just 2 Kms away at Vori (20-25 mins walk) and various beaches 10 to 30 minutes’ drive. In Faneromeni itself there are two small village shops, a bar that is open in the evenings and a kafeneio. The latter, run by Dimitra and Vasilis Chaniotakis, turned out to be the delight of our stay. Having failed to stock up on beer for our Sunday evening apéro, and all of the local supermarkets being shut, we strolled the 100m up the road to see what the kafeneio could offer?? They only had small cans of Amstel but “beggars can’t be choosers”. We must have shown some hunger by grabbing a couple of packets of crisps but these rapidly became redundant as Dimitra produced two small plates of nibbles to accompany our beer/ouzo. Having worked in the mines in Belgium for numerous years, Vasilis speaks a smattering of French and Dimitra several phrases in Flemish. That with our beginners Greek, we managed to discuss the possibilities of restaurants in the area and were immediately offered pork and potatoes from the oven which magically appeared on our table within a short time. Washed down with a couple of bottles of Retsina, a gift of home-grown grapes and raki to follow, this “home cooking”, at very low prices rapidly turned our stay in Fameromeni into a memorable one. We returned 6 of the following 7 nights for more local delights. The generosity of the locals is overwhelming and at times embarrassing! Would happily book again.

Frais et spacieux
Nous sommes resté 15 jours avec une escapade de 2 jours nécessaire compte tenu des temps de trajets si on souhaite visiter toute la Crête. Le propriétaire est très facilement joignable et répond aux questions et demandes très rapidemment. Les plages sont à 15-20 mn. Magnifique.

A very villa wellbeautiful well equipped
Konsantinos was a very nice host. He welcommed us with a basket of food supplied (olive oil, water, vegetables and raki!). The house is very well equipped and super confortable. If you are looking for a place in the countryside close to Vori, Festo, Gortina and Matala, we recommend Villa Fambrika!

Belle maison idéale pour rayonner dans la région
La villa est grande et très bien équipée. Merci à M. konstantinos et sa femme pour leur accueil et les délicates attentions pour notre arrivée. La terrasse est agréable le soir avec les lumières extérieures allumées. Elle est toutefois bruyante à certains moments (motos et voitures). La maison est très bien située pour rayonner dans la région.
