We loved it here. We wish we could have stayed longer. Beautiful courtyard. Quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and staff was really friendly. We also loved that we could walk to the square for dinner.
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.

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.
Fabulous! Excellent host. He upgraded us because we were traveling in the low season and nobody was staying in that apartment. Sparking clean and he gave an excellent dinner recommendation to Kritamon. Would stay again.
Vecchia struttura di case con corte ben ristrutturata, con piscina, in delizioso borgo di collina, con personale molto gentile. Ottime indicazioni per arrivarvi, dato che si trova in posizione appartata
It is too far from downtown. And it is hard to find the address. The apartment it is too small . Just have a bathroom and the wood stair is very dangerous
Séjour juste d 1 nuit mais nous avons beaucoup apprécié le lieu, belle maison rénovée très propre et pitoresque, amabilité de Vassilis , raki à l’accueil et beaucoup d explications pour trouver taverne dans le village le soir, un must le petit dej très typique avec des plats sales et sucrés...un vrai festin pour la journée pour 10€/pers
Can't fault the experience of villa archanes vassilis was so helpfull and kind .everywhere was kept spotless by the lovely staff, authentic friendly village wouldn't hesitate to come back.from Carol and Alan.
This is a wonderful place in a quite village, close to many things on Crete. We good rooms, the beds are excelent! We liked the way we were taken Care of, and the breakfadt is the best. We will come back!
Très agréable séjour dans un grand appartement bien aménagé, décoré avec goût, lit Kingsize, cuisine bien équipée, salle à manger et salon accueillants,belle salle d'eau et ravissant patio extérieur avec une petite piscine. On peut également s'installer autour du patio à de petites tables devant chaque appartement. Possibilité d'y prend un fabuleux petit déjeuner, délicieux et hypercopieux pour 10 € par personne Le personnel est aux petits soins et source de bons conseils de visites et d'activités variées...
All of the rooms are very well kept.authentic decor. Lovely outdoor area with a nice central pool to relax around. Very helpfully hosts, walk down the hill to the village archanes for traditional food and hospitality. Would definetly stay again at villa archanes.
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.
