House is nicely renovated, appartment spacious and well equipped and already mentioned courtyard with the pool has lovely and homie charm. And we had the best breakfast from all our Cretan trip.

    Great apartment with everything you need in a lovely little village. The private balcony is a nice place to relax and enjoy the view and the pool area is great for relaxing on a hot day. Everything was clean, new and the apertment is nicely decorated. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. The owner even bought our 3 year old a small potty to use at the apartment. Would 100% recommend!

    We absolutely LOVED this delightful villa, it is a beautiful, stylish, bright and comfortable home. It is very well furnished and well equipped, everything to a high standard. The photos do not really show how spacious and bright it it. My only small suggestion would be, perhaps a couple of more comfortable chairs for sitting reading in outside. We would definitely HIGHLY recommend this superb home and we would love to return some time.

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.
