"Solo stay at this quiet and well maintained hotel. I had a late arrival due wind storm and the staff was very helpful. Rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. Breakfast and amenities at sister hotel are a real bonus!
Would stay again. Thank you!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Aphrodites apartment. Uniqueness and quiet serenity of this traditional Cretan house in the mountains would be hard to match. We would be happy to return."

"It was evident that this was a beautiful hotel at one time but has fallen in disrepair of the once beautiful grounds. However, it appears this is a family owned hotel and run by some of the nicest people I met on my tour. The breakfast was fabulous and they were do accommodating and helpful. I do hope that one day it can be restored to its former glory."

"We had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend the villa. The location is great, the pool is fantastic, and having the beach so close was a real bonus.
The biggest highlight for us was Maria. She was absolutely wonderful—friendly, responsive, and always available whenever we needed anything. She helped with questions, gave us great guidance, and really went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. One of our favorite moments was when we asked where the closest bakery was...

"Posto ideale per chi ha il desiderio di rilassarsi, di godere della piscina e degli spazi comuni, colazione abbondante e personale davvero splendido; molti ristoranti nella zona a prezzi ottimi sia sul mare che verso l'Interno dell'isola; validissimo punto di partenza per esplorare la parte sud di Creta con la macchina."

Perfect place to stay away from the chaos of Heraklion! The food in the restaurant is AMAZING - definitely try the grilled mushrooms if you can (we had it twice)! The homemade white and red wine are also amazing! The room was clean and spacious, and the property itself is beautiful and peaceful. Nicolas was an amazing dinner host. We loved every minute of our stay!

Are only disappointment was only booking for one night. Spectacular view, charming host and hostess, George and Aphroditi treated us like family and fed us just as well! Aphroditi is a fantastic cook. This hotel is so lovely! We enjoyed walking to see a 300 year old church and all of The acres of grape, olive, fig, and flower gardens. We ate grapes right off the vine. Thank you for a wonderful visit. We will be back!

We initially had booked 2 nights here and had fortunately not booked any of our 3 remaining nights in Crete. As soon as we stepped foot in the place, we immediately booked another 2 nights. The house was amazing! It had a full kitchen, loft, wooden spiral staircase, 2 bathrooms, and 2 balconies. The village itself was very quaint and friendly with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. The local restaurant had delicious traditional food at inexpensive prices and a great balcony view...

A beautiful setting to explore the enchanted village of Archanes. Be prepared for lots of friendly cats, you may wish to bring some treats with you, or pick some up at the local market. Hosts recommendations for dining and exploring were very good.

We’ve been traveling in Greece for a month and this stay has been the most amazing. The host has thought of every luxury and convenience. From the private pool to the high-end finish out of the houses, it is just stunning. The kitchen is so well stocked to make anything. From the microwave to the oven to the electric griddle to the outdoor gas grill, the washer and dishwasher. The parking for your car is very secure. It’s a quick walk into to the restaurants of Archanes if you don’t want to...

This is an extraordinary boutique hotel. Our room was luxurious with a very large balcony with large table and hot tub. Very nice view as well. Staff was welcoming, informative, and answered all questions well. Breakfast was delicious and substantial. Although a little bit out of the historic downtown area of Iraklion, that district was a very walkable distance away. We enjoyed being in the less touristy part of the city and enjoying the local restaurants and shops frequented by residents....

The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, and the location was excellent for walking into Heraklion. The room was very clean and comfortable, although there was a problem with water pressure in the shower. Breakfast was excellent, providing a wide choice, and the dining room was attractive and comfortable.
We will be happy to return and recommend to our friends.

A super cute and amazing apartment, also very clean! The owner is so sweet and very quick at answering messages. They offer to pick you up from the airport and bring you back they day you leave if you need. It’s Very safe and quiet which was great for us as two girls traveling alone. The Main Street is a five minute walk with plenty of shopping and food as well as beach access. Honestly one of the best places I’ve stayed.

Good access to the airport. Close to the bus to Heraklion. Staff were very helpful. The only wrinkle is that water in the rooms is non-potable so bring your own water.
