Super nice and cosy hotel with a nice pool. Upper floor of our room was quite narrow and not really made for cooling. The breakfast was freshly made and really tasty!

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.

A beautiful spot in a lovely village. We only wish we had stayed longer. Beds and rooms are spacious well lit and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful with delicious fresh food with coffee and fresh orange juice. It’s the same every day so if you like variety best be prepared to cook in your room or walk. Easy but somewhat hilly walk to the main square, full of vibrant tavernas with good food. Excellent friendly service from the staff.

Séjour en Crète septembre 2020

Hôtel très agréable. Studio très bien équipé. Belle petite piscine. Nous avions une chambre en haut avec un escalier assez raide. Il y a d'autres studios sans cet inconvénient. Bien situé sur les hauteurs de Archanes avec accès à pied au centre. Ruelles étroites pour arriver en passant par le village, préférez un contournement pour arriver à l'hôtel

Nice town, nice host. Heat worked well in winter. Be careful driving in however, since many of the streets are narrow. Fun city overall, and I recommend this place.

Habe mich selten so gut in einer Ferienanlage gefühlt. Ich brauchte nur eine Bitte zu äußern und schon wurde umgehend reagiert. Auch die Zauberfee war stets bemüht einem den Aufenthalt so schön wie möglich zu gestalten. Die Atmosphäre war sehr familiär. Ich werde auf jeden Fall noch mal einen so tollen Urlaub geniessen.
