Situated in Archanes, Fοivos and Athina Villas features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with a barbecue. The accommodation has a jetted shower system.

The units provide views of the garden and come with a seating area, a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. For added convenience, the property can provide towels and bed linen for an extra charge.

The view from the top of the steep hill is spectacular; from every room one can see the ocean and mountains. It is very quiet and private, and the property is lovely. The washing machine was not as large as I had hoped but the shower was fine. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Parking was ample and easy on the property. There are excellent restaurants a short drive away. The kitchen could use a few more items for preparing meals. Four of us spent two nights quite comfortably.

    The place is beautiful. The countryside around Heaklion with vineyards and olive trees deserves a tour. Breakfast in the garden was delicious, and personnel very friendly and helpful. Room for three is very spacious.

    Everything was wonderful, but especially managment and the staff was amazing. I had to change my dates twice because of flight cancellations and they accommodated them right away and also stayed late to wait for me when I missed my connecting flight. They also offered to arrange a pick-up at the airport, but because I had a rental car, didn't need it. The room was amazing, with its unique wooden interior and scent. Very cozy. It was only a twenty miunte drive from the airport and easy to find. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

    I was expecting a lot from this property and it really lived up to my expectations. The place was beautifully designed and incorporated its traditional roots in an old winery as well as being very modern and comfortable. They thought of everything - kitchen and bathroom really well equipped. It was one of those rare properties that was cosy and spacious at the same time.

    The traditional homes are essentially a series of charming independent bungalows wrapped around a beautiful courtyard with orange trees, tucked away on a hillside above this charming town. We loved the privacy, the quiet, and our own patio. The owner, Athina, is very gracious, rescuing us when we got lost trying to find the place and navigate the town's narrow lanes. We opted not to have breakfast included, eating every morning at one of the cafes a short walk down the hill.
