“Incredible Place. Fully equipped, spacious, clean loft, with a great host, in beautiful village!”
+Everything was phenomenal! I can't speak more highly of the place,facilities, location, and host. The loft is spacious, extremely clean, well equipped, and incredibly comfortable. George the host was great even leaving some food, snacks, and Cretan raki and wine for us it the refrigerator-true Greek hospitality! The views are breathtaking, and the village very quaint and quiet. I highly recommend the loft in Archanes, one of my best stays ever!!!!
−It was a perfect stay!

“We enjoyed our three-night stay.”
+Very spacious and well furnished apartment with view, good A./C, large deck with dining tables and sunbeds; kitchen with lots of dishes, cutlery and pots, stove top and oven, electric kettle, coffee maker, toaster and panini press. Wonderful bathroom shower, extra towels, comfortable bed. Blackout drapes for easier sleeping in the bedroom and living room. Hosts kindly left us lots of food and drinks in the large fridge. Also helped to carry our luggage up the many stairs. Wifi usually very good, except for a few hours when the whole village lost Internet access, which was restored within an hour. Location was quiet, and convenient for Heraklion Airport or for visiting Knossos.
−As is common in Crete, roads to get there were very steep and narrow; hard to find some roads because they looked like small lanes or driveways between village houses that were built up right to the edges of the streets. Tricky to pass another car, make tight turns (without adequate vision of oncoming cars) or drive in and out of the provided parking space. Sometimes the usually hot water was only lukewarm. Shower floor was slippery despite some ridges in floor. Challenging to figure out many lighting switches. No light over the dining table, and the lighting in the bedroom was too low. Wooden dining chairs looked nice but were so heavy that it was hard to pull them in and out. There was a drainboard beside the sink, but no dish rack to put the dishes in for air drying.

“Wonderful flat with spectacular views”
+Our stay was exceptional. Comfortable beds, excellent views, great AC, good shower pressure, great touches like food goodies, books, and games. The area was quiet and felt private, and truly couldn’t have asked for anything more.
−The only thing has nothing to do with the property itself, but the final 2-3 minutes of driving there is very narrow, sometimes hilly, street roads so need to be a very confident driver. We are used to driving on single track hedge roads in the UK, but found this a little more challenging as surrounded by unforgiving concrete/brick buildings and cars.

“Fantastic”
+Superb location - short walk into town/restaurants. Wonderful views. Spacious deck. Great host! Provided food and drinks and supplies. Archanes is a wonderful village to visit. On site parking (tight but definitely manageable)
−All good

“Beautiful space with a tremendous view.”
+A beautiful space overlooking the entire valley! George was helpful and provided a generous number of food items, wine and raki. He also responded quickly when we had questions. The kitchen was well-equipped and we cooked a few of our meals. It was a short walk into town. The view was tremendous.
−The roads are steep and narrow so be prepared if you are driving.
