We loved everything about this villa! From the warm and genuine hospitality of Vasilis and his family, to the authentic accommodation (in which every detail that a traveler might need has been thoughtfully addressed), to the delicious homemade breakfast! Archanes is a wonderful mountain town that shared with us a glimpse into the true Cretan lifestyle.

This was one of the nicest places we have stayed in. It was recently renovated using natural materials. It looks, smells and feels lovely. The bed was comfortable. There are two stylish terraces to relax on and healthy, well cared for plants. The attention to detail in the design of the renovation is impressive. The host goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. The town is pretty, the people are friendly. It’s conveniently located near Knossos, Heraklion, olive and wine tasting adventures.

With no previous research of the area we fortuitously stumbled upon the gem of Walnut Tree VIlla.
We knew we did not want to stay in Heraklion, but wanted to be close enough to visit the archaeological museum and Knossos.
What a treat to experience the charming village of Archanes and the warm hospitality of Walnut Tree Villa. Perfect for two people or two couples. The home has two bedrooms, a bathroom for each bedroom, living room and kitchen. A large courtyard with private parking ties it together.
We seemed to be the only non-locals in the neighborhood, so we always felt as though we were visiting someone’s home.
Antonis went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. From meeting us as the airport and guiding us back to offering raki and dinner our first night to having a generously stocked refrigerator and linen closet to having taxi recommendations ready. The little things make the difference and we were happy to have this be our first experience in Crete.

Archanes Village in Crete offers an enchanting escape into the heart of Cretan culture and hospitality. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, this village exudes charm with its cobblestone streets, traditional architecture, and warm, welcoming atmosphere. During my stay, I was captivated by the rich history and authenticity that permeates every corner of Archanes. Exploring the village revealed hidden gems, from ancient ruins to quaint cafes serving delicious local cuisine. The accommodations were impeccable, providing a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. Whether staying in a historic hotel or a charming stone house, every detail was meticulously curated to ensure a memorable experience. The genuine hospitality of the locals further enhanced my stay. From friendly greetings in the village square to recommendations for exploring the surrounding area, their warmth made me feel like a welcomed guest. Archanes Village is a true gem in Crete, offering an authentic and unforgettable experience for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of this remarkable island. I cannot wait to return and continue exploring all that this charming village has to offer.TheanoUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
Archanes is located right in the middle of nowhere.
Archanes is located right in the middle of nowhere. Okay, it's quite close to Heraklion and the Palace of Knossos. But if you want to go to the beaches, you have a choice between terribly crowded beaches around Heraklion, and God forbid, Malia... probably the most disgustingly overcrowded beach we've ever seen, or the beaches on the south of the island, which are accessible through winding mountain roads that can be quite challenging to navigate with a weak engine, like the Peugeot 108 we rented. The best option is the beaches to the west of Matala, which are a bit over an hour away via Road 97 through Heraklion, leading to Kommos Beach just west of Matala. Matala, although charming, is terribly crowded, while Kommos offers a wide expanse of pebbles with an incredible stereo effect: the sound of waves and the "singing" of cicadas. So you can spend a day at Kommos Beach, having quite a spacious area around you and only the sounds of nature, and in the evening, you can go to Matala for dinner, enjoying a charming but not as spectacular as the Polish Baltic Sea sunsets.

Archanes is a beautiful village not far from Iraklion.
Archanes is a beautiful village not far from Iraklion. It has great restaurants, beautiful scenery a well curated archaeological museum and many nearby attractions including Knossos. We stay here each time we come to Crete as it is a really relaxed Cretan village. It is accessible by car and bus from Iraklion. Narrow laneways and hilly terrain make it a walker’s dream location.JenniferAustralia - 10Scored 10

Such a lovely property - characterful, clean and comfortable. Wished we had been there in the summer so we could have enjoyed the pool. Staff very helpful. Excellent breakfast. Great restaurants in the village. We ate i Agora, which we loved. Fantastic food, excellent wine (made by the owners) and extremely good value for money. Can't recommend highly enough.

- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 15 reviewsThe Villa is wonderful, just as looks at the pictures, also clean and all the facilities are in perfect condition. We had star type of traveling all over the Crete due to the wining central location of the Villa. Just sorry that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the place due to our intensive plan for this vacation. The staff is very friendly and responsive (the small problem with the lights in the kitchen was fixed immediately once communicated), thanks a lot! Highly recommend and we will be tentatively visiting again.AlexanderIsrael
- From $144.14 per night9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 23 reviewsBeautiful room ! Stayed in the sympathetically restored house. Fantastic standard, clean, fresh, tastefully furnished in a simple but artful Cretan style. (Restoration finished Sep 2023) Archanes is such a pretty old village, retaining much of its historic charm. Carpe Diem is an excellent choice to use as a base for visiting Knossos and other areas of Iraklion . We also explored beaches to the north, some with Tavernas and beach bars offering free sun beds to customers. We hope to return soon 👍
ChrisUnited Kingdom - From $238.61 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 443 reviewsThe hotel lies in the village of Archanes with many hiking possibilities, not far from Knossos palace. There are a lot of tavernas in town with many options to eat. The room was furnished nicely and there was everything that is needed. We liked the breakfast very much, there were a lot of different delicious things to try, both traditional Greek and european. Ladies who served breakfast were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast hall is beautiful and one can dine there as well.
AnnaGermany - From $238.61 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 443 reviewsThe hotel was beautiful. It has everything we were looking for at a reasonable price. Room was also clean. But the best thing about the place is the service. They were always able to accommodate for any requests we had and/or provide alternative option. Want to specifically say that Anastasia and Nikos (may have misspelt his name) were excellent. From the first day to the last, always were providing some of the best service I've experienced.Mohammod Al-AminUnited Kingdom
