We stayed at the house for 12 days. We had a great time. The first thing to say is that the pool is fantastic, and the kids absolutely loved it! The house itself is quite clean, and well equipped. As we wanted to visit, we rented a car to travel around - and i would say that this is a must for anyone wanted to visit Crete.
The village of Archanos is quite nice (supermarkets, restaurants, ATM, pharmacy...).
To sum it up, the house is a great base for anyone who wants to discover Crete & enjoy some R&R as well. Just be aware that a trip by car to the western part of the island can take up to two hours due to the limited roads.
