Maria is a warm and friendly host. She is very welcoming and makes her guests feel at ease and comfortable. Her villa is so beautiful. A stone building with modern conveniences. Archanes is a great village with wonderful restaurants within walking distance. Maria’s villa is well located for a base from which to do many side trips. We really enjoyed staying in a smaller village but being able to easily drive into Heraklion or out further into the countryside. It was great to experience village life. We highly recommend Maria’s romantic villa. You won’t regret staying here.
