Scalarea Estate Residences
Very nice room with a lovely view over the vines. Breakfast was wonderful and generous with everything homemade, served on the private terrace. A short drive to tavernas in the local villages, and only about 15 mins into Heraklion.

Villa Archanes
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.
