Holiday Homes in Archanes

With no previous research of the area we fortuitously stumbled upon the gem of Walnut Tree VIlla. We knew we did not want to stay in Heraklion, but wanted to be close enough to visit the archaeological museum and Knossos. What a treat to experience the charming village of Archanes and the warm hospitality of Walnut Tree Villa. Perfect for two people or two couples. The home has two bedrooms, a bathroom for each bedroom, living room and kitchen. A large courtyard with private parking ties it together. We seemed to be the only non-locals in the neighborhood, so we always felt as though we were visiting someone’s home. Antonis went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. From meeting us as the airport and guiding us back to offering raki and dinner our first night to having a generously stocked refrigerator and linen closet to having taxi recommendations ready. The little things make the difference and we were happy to have this be our first experience in Crete.

The place is superb! Location, facilities, decoration, amenities - all top-top! What strikes is a total silence and tranquility of the place Minas is a wondeful host with a vast knowledge of the area. The places he recommended to visit and where to eat were top-notch! I would highly recommend staying in the villa

Wonderful Hosts and the most wonderful location to relax! Having the large pool, large area that is all private makes the stay that much more wonderful!

The view from the top of the steep hill is spectacular; from every room one can see the ocean and mountains. It is very quiet and private, and the property is lovely. The washing machine was not as large as I had hoped but the shower was fine. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Parking was ample and easy on the property. There are excellent restaurants a short drive away. The kitchen could use a few more items for preparing meals. Four of us spent two nights quite comfortably.

The hosts were very communicative and and welcoming. Grapes, jams, drinks, waiting for us. Wonderful setting, wonderful modern house, lovely village with lots to see and do, not to mention excellent restaurants. And there was a Minoan Palace being unearthed across the street!

It's truly a pleasure to return to this stunning historic hotel nestled in the heart of Archanes. This time, we had the pleasure of staying at the Avra stone house. It was incredibly spacious and tastefully decorated with beautiful furniture and paintings. The cleanliness was impeccable. Moreover, the owner made several enhancements to ensure our comfort: new mattress toppers, updated amenities (we especially enjoyed the cosmetics from Apivita and the espresso machine), and improved lighting. Additionally, we were provided with a private parking slot just a 2-minute walk from the hotel. Michael greeted us there and personally escorted us to the house. He also kindly made a dinner reservation for us at a restaurant. We are already looking forward to returning this summer. Thank you so much for the exceptional hospitality, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit.
