The view from the top of the steep hill is spectacular; from every room one can see the ocean and mountains. It is very quiet and private, and the property is lovely. The washing machine was not as large as I had hoped but the shower was fine. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Parking was ample and easy on the property. There are excellent restaurants a short drive away. The kitchen could use a few more items for preparing meals. Four of us spent two nights quite comfortably.

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    The property was very well located, very clean and well equiped. The traditional house was.quiet and charming with it’s own courtyard and located near to Archanes central square where we ate each night in the open air. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from. Our host was easy to contact and very helpful. A great base from which to explore Crete.

    During our recent visit to the picturesque village of Arcanes in Greece, my mother and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful maisonette. From the moment we arrived, our contact person Konstantinos warmly welcomed us and provided us with assistance throughout our stay. The maisonette was very clean, comfortable and has a collection of beautiful antiquity objects representing various regions of Greece. Each item seemed to have its own unique story to tell, adding an extra layer of charm and authenticity to our experience.

    Manili is a true gem, located in a beautiful village very close to Heraklion where the traditional old architecture blends in with the new. The Suites are stunning and very clean, and we really enjoyed our private terrace where we could order cocktails from Manili Bistro on room service. Breakfast is great, including a variety of local delicacies and pastries which we absolutely loved! Staff is very friendly and willing to help in anything you ask. We will 100% be back sometime soon!
