The Romantic Minoan Villa, tucked away in the labyrinth of Archanes, is a real paradise and true oasis. It is a beautiful, charming place that has visibly been restored with lots of care and attention to detail. It is authentic, cosy, relaxing....a little haven of peace and tranquility. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace under the lemon tree so much, we sometimes had to force ourselves to actually go out and do stuff :-) Maria is a wonderful host who gave us all manner of tips and advice for places to go to visit, good restaurants, etc. A place we definitely recommend....and if we ever go back to Crete, this is the address we will choose.
