"The hosts were wonderful, friendly and very good cook.
Plus, he is a fabulous musician playing the luth after dinner and singing with his wife for our delight!
The setting in the wilderness of the high Cretan mountains was a discovery for us.
Highly recommended to discover traditional Cretan hospitality."
"This house was so adorable! We were running extremely late do to a change in our flight but the owner stayed up to greet us. She showed us around the village and where the stores were. Even offered to check on us if we needed it. The house itself was cozy and well kept. We had the pleasure of having a nice dog hang out outside our door. We did run into some issues back home that caused us to have to leave early. The owner was very kind and even offered us a deal so our money wasn't going to be...
"Amazing location just a bit off the pavement, totally worth a few kilometers of dusty road! Delicious breakfast buffet and rustic dinner totally worth catching. Great hiking trail down the scenic little canyon."
"A small group of modern appartments in a rural location with a great pool and stunning views. 20 min walk from village with good restaurants and shops. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Going breakfast available.
The walk back from the village is steep but a taxi was 5 Euros. If you get the exact Google Maps location it is not difficult to find. "
"This property is a hidden gem in you want to visit the sites in the area. Much better than staying in the city as it's gorgeous, comfortable, spacious property with terrific value for dollar. "
"Great place in the mountains, basic room, comfortable bed, needs some brush up - feels a bit old - broken mountings in bathroom - overall good value for money, friendly staff, excellent food, quiet room. Would come back"
"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. "
"The couple host are very welcoming and warm-hearted.The studio is very clean and comfortable. When we checked out, they even prepared a hand made gift for us. Highly recommend."

"Good sized room. Very clean. Close to restaurants, shopping. Exactly where you want to be in the city center. Fresh, hot and tasty breakfast options. Helpful and friendly staff. We would most definitely return."
"We traveled as a family: two of us and our 1.5-year-old. The room we stayed in was spacious. The beds were relatively comfortable, and the room was clean and well maintained. The biggest treat was the view. We had a room on the fourth floor with a spectacular view of the bay and the sea beyond. Breakfast was served on the top floor, and the dining area also had a spectacular view of the sea. The breakfast options were some of the best we experienced, including self-made Greek coffee and a self-assembled traditional Cretan meal, a hand juicer to make your own fresh orange juice an loads of other options for food and drinks.
In January, the room was a little chilly and slightly humid, and this was an unpleasant combination. But thankfully the heating element worked well enough, and we made it fairly comfortable in the end.
The staff were very friendly. There is a small tea/coffee bar on the ground floor which needs to be serviced by the concierge. There is no tea kettle in the room itself! This was probably the only downside for our stay since we would have liked to warm up some of the water for our daughter or had the ability to make tea ourselves.
Lastly, there is a laundry business just a few steps away from the hotel. The man who runs the business dropped off our clean laundry at the hotel. So, keep this option in mind as you travel.
As a whole, this hotel was excellent. Get a room with a sea view. It is worth it."
"This is a small property for short stay. Very close to the airport. I rented a car as my stay was long and finding a spot to park could be a little challenging. Other than that everything else was great. Friendly staff, nice and quiet. "
