10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved Arcasa. The villa was beautiful, stylish, clean and comfortable. The outside area was private with high quality sun loungers and patio furniture. Everything that you need is in the villa. We arrived late and Michael very kindly left us some food and water to get us through to the next day when shops would be open. Lovely cleaners came everyday to empty bins etc. The town is fabulous, we enjoyed a coffee in the square every morning and fresh bread from one of the bakeries. You won’t find many tourists here, it’s mainly local which is what we loved. There are lots of lovely restaurants in the town serving amazing Greek food. Just be aware that the walk down to the town is very steep and getting back up is a workout after dinner. We were fine with it but definitely not for anyone with mobility issues, take your car instead, once down the hill the town is flat. We loved Arcasa and Archanes and will be back"

Villa Archanes

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at this unique traditional country-style hotel in Archanes-Asterousia for two nights, and it was a wonderful choice. The hotel features a charming inner courtyard that adds to its authentic atmosphere. We arrived from Heraklion International Airport much earlier than the check-in time, but the manager, a young woman named Ieva (apologies if the spelling is incorrect), was incredibly kind and welcomed us without hesitation. She even helped us with our heavy luggage. She first showed us the room we had originally booked, and then offered us the option to upgrade to a larger apartment. We chose the upgraded apartment, which had two spacious separate rooms. Each room was decorated in a traditional country style, with charming small windows that perfectly reflected the authentic character we were looking for. Our apartment was equipped with all the necessary amenities. The hotel is located on a hillside in a small town surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. The town itself is full of pretty cobbled streets, colourful houses with well-tended gardens, and quaint cafés and tavernas. On our first evening, we were lucky enough to have dinner at a small taverna where five local musicians performed traditional live music and singing, creating a truly unforgettable atmosphere. In the morning, we enjoyed a delicious authentic Cretan breakfast with an egg omelet, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and a variety of sweet pastries. At this lovely authentic hotel we felt like at home."
