"The views from the hilltop were spectacular and we loved sitting outside with our delicious breakfast. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable and as the final days of our trip this was a perfect wind down. I would love to go back for longer"

"A lovely traditional house in a typical Cretan village away from the tourist hotspots. Our host spoke good English and was very welcoming and helpful. The bakery sells wonderful trays of Baklava which we enjoyed on our spacious roof terrace, a great place for breakfast too. "

"Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed in a beautiful setting. The switchbacks getting in and out were a bit daunting but we got used to them. Friendly hosts who gave good information on the area. "

"Stunning property in a newly restored old house. Beautiful, spacious and well-appointed room. The common areas were comfortable and there was a lovely balcony. The breakfast which was beautifully served on the balcony was beyond compare. Local, fresh, and delicious Cretan treats. Archanes is close to Heraklion and the palace of Knossos and had plenty of dining options. We were in Greece for three weeks and our night at Carpe Diem was probably our best stay. Can’t recommend highly enough. "

"Evva was really friendly and helpful, and our accommodation was spacious and comfortable.
We didn't like the fact that the shower was handheld only.
Also, the villa is located at the stop of a very steep hill, so although the town enter is not far away, it's not the easiest walk."
"The house was a lovely old Cretan house renovated to a high standard, and Popi was a wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable host - really friendly and full of suggestions of where to go next. You will need to have a car to get around as it is not at all central, and do not expect a modern building - but it was full of character and the aircon worked very well, so in my eyes it was perfect! I would happily stay here again, and hope to do so some day in the coming years."
AGRIELIA VILLA FAMILY - FRIENDLY VILLA IN HERAKLION CRETE
10/10 Excellent
"The villa is beautiful. It is very well equipped with everything we needed - we really couldn't fault it! It's very spacious, with seating areas outside at the front, back and on the balcony, so there's always a sunny spot (or shady spot if you prefer!). The beds are very comfortable, and all the bedrooms have air conditioning so it's very pleasant even in the height of summer. The pool is a great size and provided so much fun for us all. Stelios, the host, is so friendly and helpful!The village of Sgourokefali is lovely and quiet, and the locals are very friendly. It has a very small minimart with basic groceries, and a bakery selling fresh bread and delicious fresh pastries, so you don't really need to leave the village! Episkopi is a 30 mins walk away where there are more shops including 2 larger supermarkets, a taverna and a lovely (and very reasonably priced) restaurant which we ate at quite a few times.We decided not to hire a car, but on the days we did leave the village, we used a taxi, which cost between 40-60 EUR each way to places like Knossos, Heraklion and Water City. It was easy to get a taxi at Heraklion airport when we arrived, even though there were 5 of us. The same taxi driver gave us his number and we messaged him on Whatsapp when we needed a taxi during our stay, and I'm sure others would do the same.We would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone!"
"The property we stayed in was new and has been built to a very high standard. All the rooms have a shower and seperate toilet. A sink is located in each room next to the door. The living areas are bright and clean with floor to ceiling windows/doors, open plan kitchen diner with lots of space with modern appliances. All rooms had smart TVs with apps so we could login into Netflix etc. The pool was fantastic as were the sun loungers with two bean bag chairs. Around the front of the property is a large courtyard featuring a large table & chairs with a gas BBQ for alfresco dining. Next to this there was a seating area for relaxing.
Cleaners visited everyday to empty the bins, including the toilet bins. Clean towels were provided for the pool as well as for the bathrooms. Sheets and towels were changed once a week.
A truly fantastic property that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Highly recommend these properties. "
Villa Belladonna - A oasis of luxury and relaxation
10/10 Excellent
"Great villa in a village with good amenities. The pool is nice with a fabulous view, and there are numerous spaces to relax and eat around the villa at different times of the day. Check in/out was very easy and the host was very prompt with help to sort out any issues."
SUNLIGHT VILLA WITH PRIVATE POOL FOR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS TO ENJOY
10/10 Excellent
"Great property in a small village with a few local tavernas, shops, and a great bakery. The house is split over three floors and has two 'sides' severed by seperate staircases - the stairs from the open plan living room/diner/kitchen leads up to three beds on the first floor (two doubles and a twin) with a family bathroom with hidden washing machine, and then the playroom/bedroom on the top floor with a pool table, table football and a couple of futons. A separate living room with a TV and diner has stairs that lead to two further doubles each with en-suites. The top floor rooms on each side are open plan from the stairs so don't have doors. Given we were there as two families with 5 older kids (14-20), this split worked well - with the adults having the en-suite rooms and the kids sharing the other side of the house.Facilities in the house were fantastic - the kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need. One of the great touches was the owner leaving all of there sundries that you need but never seems to be left - so loads of dishwasher tablets, soap, shampoo, toilet rolls, plasters etc.; a really simple thing that takes loads of stress away. The outside was fantastic with a great pool, small play area for little kids, outdoor dining table, fridge, BBQ & pizza oven and the most contested spot - the shady hammock.If your considering booking, just do it - you won't regret it."
