Featuring inner courtyard views, "Eirini" traditional house Creta Archanes, Αρχάνες σπίτι provides accommodation with balcony, around 10 km from The Palace of Knossos. Among the facilities at this property are luggage storage space and bicycle parking, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The apartment features family rooms.

Eirini has single-handedly made a marvel of the traditional house. The photos don't do it justice, we were left in awe as soon as we got inside. The level of detail is astonishing and the room manages to balance between tradition and modern needs perfectly. Definitely recommend!

Arhontiko offers 4-star traditional accommodation, 300 metres from the centre of Arhanes, a picturesque town built at the foot of the sacred mount Jiouktas.

Built in 1893, Arhontiko is a fine example of 19th century inland Cretan architecture. There are 4 independent apartments (70 m² each) over 2 levels, with an interior staircase. They are fully-equipped and can accommodate 2 to 4 people, all year round.

Loved this beautiful villa, especially relaxing in the gorgeous shared courtyard filled with plants. The bedroom was beautifully cool without aircon (though that also worked very well) and it was so quiet and peaceful.

This was a beautifully restored old house right in the center of Archanes, minutes from the town square. Our room was very quiet and comfortable. Every detail was perfect. Eleni and Maria were both so kind, helping us find parking and sorting thru my mistake of showing up a day late! Archanes was a lovely traditional village in the wine country. Definitely worth a visit, and carpe diem is the perfect place to stay.

    We loved everything about this villa! From the warm and genuine hospitality of Vasilis and his family, to the authentic accommodation (in which every detail that a traveler might need has been thoughtfully addressed), to the delicious homemade breakfast! Archanes is a wonderful mountain town that shared with us a glimpse into the true Cretan lifestyle.

    The villa is gorgeous, perfect for a family like us. Set on a hill with stunning walks straight from the front door. Beds are super comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. You feel very safe as the property is gated. Minas the owner could not have been more helpful. We arrived at 1am and he was there waiting for us. He was always available on the phone for any questions. Minas really did go above and beyond for us.

    Our choice to stay at VILLA ARHONTIKO was an excellent choice. It is a real mansion built by the owner's grandfather in 1890. Beautiful and harmonious architecture combines stone and wood. Very comfortable apartment, very beautiful decoration, beautiful colors and bright. There is a large yard with many flowers where we relaxed and enjoyed our wine or coffee. The owner Anna was there for anything we needed and gave us information about the village and the area. We will be back again for more days.
