My husband and I have been using Airbnb for many years and I have to say that staying in Maria's house was the best experience we've ever had. The house was beautifully restored and comfortable, with lots of beautiful artwork and a view of the mountain from the bedroom. We enjoyed having coffee in the garden at the front of the house in the mornings to start our day, accompanied by Lara the cat. Archanes itself boasts a beautiful town square, delicious restaurants and even Minoan ruins in situ.
Maria really made our stay special, helping us to feel very much at home and providing great suggestions of things to do. We hope to return and would 100% recommend staying here to anybody looking to experience true Cretan hospitality!
