"Absolutely perfect! This house in Archanes is perfect - a beautiful house, very well equipped, perfectly positioned two minutes walk from the central square in Archanes, which in turn - for the archaeologists among us - is itself perfectly located a stone's throw from Knossos."

"We had a wonderful 2 weeks in Archanes, hosts made it very easy and always responsive if needed. Also provided lots of useful local knowledge. Archanes has great character, it feels very authentic but still with local restaurants and supermarkets accessible and catering for non Greek speakers. You do need a car as rural setting and be prepared for narrow streets and local traffic."

"Our stay was amazing. The location was stunning and the property was everything you could want and more. I would highly recommend this accommodation and helpful owners. The town was full of life in a traditional way with beautiful restaurants and friendly locals. It is not commercialized which is perfect. We will be staying here again definitely. Thank you for amazing memories"

"The house has character within it's stone walls. You can tell from the decoration and furnishing that it was inhabited for a long time by Cretans. It works as well as a holiday house. The kitchen is stocked very well, you will find everything you need. The pool is very refreshing and the garden really quiet. The house provides a lot of space for a family of 4 or more. The location is perfect on one of the main streets in the village (next to a great bakery). "

"The property is spectacular and had all the amenities we expected, plus more. The pool was welcomed on the hot days, and they were very prompt with coming out when the filter stopped running. Archanes is an amazing town, with street parking all very close and Bakaliko is recommended for a wine tasting and dinner. I would stay here again in a second, and hope to return on our next trip to Crete. Highly recommend."

Absolutely perfect! This house in Archanes is perfect - a beautiful house, very well equipped, perfectly positioned two minutes walk from the central square in Archanes, which in turn - for the archaeologists among us - is itself perfectly located a stone's throw from Knossos. Our hosts promptly replied to any questions we messaged them concerning local services and places to visit with detailed and helpful answers. Also, the check-in was superb - we arrived late (about 1 a.m.), but the housekeeper was there ready to greet us and show us the ropes. We all left happy and rested after a wonderful holiday, and this house was a the centre of it. A 100 % recommendation!

The location is perfect on one of the main streets in the village (next to a great bakery). The village lies within the wine making region of Heraklion district and has plenty of great tavernas and bars. It is pretty close to Knossos and only a 15 minute drive from Heraklion or the airport. We enjoyed our stay and would come back any time.
