"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! "
"The views from the hilltop were spectacular and we loved sitting outside with our delicious breakfast. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable and as the final days of our trip this was a perfect wind down. I would love to go back for longer"
"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. "
"We’ve been traveling in Greece for a month and this stay has been the most amazing. The host has thought of every luxury and convenience. From the private pool to the high-end finish out of the houses, it is just stunning. The kitchen is so well stocked to make anything. From the microwave to the oven to the electric griddle to the outdoor gas grill, the washer and dishwasher. The parking for your car is very secure. It’s a quick walk into to the restaurants of Archanes if you don’t want to...
"The property is in a suburban street - 10-15min walk from the centre BUT it is worth it. The amenities and quality of the property is some of the best you can expect. They have thought of everything. Would definately stay again "
"One of the best properties to stay in Crete to get the real Cretan countryside feeling. Magnificent mountain and hill views, comfortable room and very nice people. Part of the Skalani area, good access to highways, and only 15 minutes drive to the center of Heraklion. "
"Bed was super comfy and soft loved it! Check in didn’t go very smoothly didn’t get any communication form our host until she finally answered our call at 8pm after trying to contact for 2 days. Place has everything you need condition isn’t great but all good for a 1 or 2 night stay"
"This was an incredible property right in the heart of Crete. The staff went above and beyond to help us, from arranging taxis to the port and airport to recommending fantastic local spots to eat. A big thank you to Giannis and Michail for their outstanding hospitality — their kindness and support truly made our stay unforgettable."
