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!

DEAR CUSTOMERS, thank you for your review.
First of all, our restaurant was closed because it was still winter and for this it only works on a weekend and on holidays. You came Wednesday and Thursday.
However, we gave you the alternative to prepare your food and we also offered you various but our restaurants.
I'm sorry you did not enjoy your stay.
When I welcomed you at the reception, I gave you my mobile phone and I told you in every case if you need anything you can call me. So it made us feel that if you found such an unfortunate fact you did not notify us. you also suddenly left without even saying goodbye to you.
As far as the nearby dilapidated houses are concerned, I explained to you that we are renovating old historic houses in the whole settlement. This is very important for our society and all our visitors welcome it. We are not a hotel unit. We are a traditional guesthouse. Thank you

Great stay
Posted 17 Sep 2017 on HotelsIf 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.

Cozy studio in a lovely traditional Cretan village
Posted 26 Jul 2017 on HotelsWe 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...
Posted 20 Jul 2017 on HotelsNot 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.

Schönes Zimmer, aber sehr kalt
Posted 5 Oct 2017
Pros: Der griechische Salat und die Art der Zimmer.
Cons: DIE HEIZUNG !
Location: In der Lassithi- Ebene. Es gibt gute Wanderwege.
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.
