“This house was so adorable! We were running extremely late do to a change in our flight but the owner stayed up to greet us. She showed us around the village and where the stores were. Even offered to check on us if we needed it. The house itself was cozy and well kept. We had the pleasure of having a nice dog hang out outside our door. We did run into some issues back home that caused us to have to leave early. The owner was very kind and even offered us a deal so our money wasn't going to be……
“Stunning property in a newly restored old house. Beautiful, spacious and well-appointed room. The common areas were comfortable and there was a lovely balcony. The breakfast which was beautifully served on the balcony was beyond compare. Local, fresh, and delicious Cretan treats. Archanes is close to Heraklion and the palace of Knossos and had plenty of dining options. We were in Greece for three weeks and our night at Carpe Diem was probably our best stay. Can’t recommend highly enough. ”
“Wir waren 5 Tage in diesem wundervollen Hotel in Archanes.
Die Zimmer waren sehr sorgfältig eingerichtet und stets sehr sauber. Wir hatten sogar eine eigene Terrasse mit Aussicht auf den nahegelegenen Berg.
Das Hotel verfügt ausserdem über zwei Pools. Einer bedeckt und der andere unbedeckt fürs perfekte Geniessen der Sonne.
Das Hotel liegt direkt am Dorf Archanes, wo sich das ganze Leben abspielt. Läden, gute Restaurant und ein schöner Marktplatz.

Posto veramente fantastico, raggiungibile in pochi minuti dall'aeroporto. Offre formula all inclusive e i pasti sono a buffet con ampia varietà per poter accontentare tutti i gusti. La piscina è molto ampia e sempre ben curata, come lo spazio verde antistante. Un plauso, sicuramente, va a chi si occupa delle pulizie: tutti i locali sono super puliti, sia gli spazi comuni che le camere. Altro valore aggiunto sono la cordialità e la gentilezza del personale: dalle ragazze che si……
“Don’t let initial lack of kerb appeal when arriving put you off. This is a fantastic place to stay. Staff who love their jobs, a chef whose menu draws locals to eat in the evenings, super comfy beds in rooms and on the beach which is also on your doorstep. Highly recommend!”
“We loved our stay! The hosts were so helpful and kind. The room was comfortable, very clean, and pristine. We arrived late from our flight, and the contactless entry was great! ”
“The hotel is just a short walk from the port and it’s about 7 min away from Lion Square. The sound proof is amazing considering it’s on a main street and very close to the airport. Dimitri made some very good recommendations on restaurants - all of our meals have been amazing in Heraklion. The only recommendation I made is to replenish bottled water every day, rather than just giving 2 small bottles for the whole say. But all in all, good value for money and great hospitality! ”
“We were only at the hotel for one night, and arrived at 7pm due to a delayed ferry, but we had a lovely if brief stay! The staff were welcoming on arrival and provided a welcome drink and showed us to our room. The rooftop pool is open until 8pm so we managed a quick dip and headed out to get some dinner. We walked to the old market area (Kalokerinou- about fifteen minutes away) and found a lovely restaurant. The buffet breakfast in the morning was to a high standard as well. Definitely……
“A very unique, stylish property, brand new in 2025. Everything inside is fine. Dishwasher and washing machine in the suite. On the other hand, no on-site parking and the front desk (available 12 hours per day) is located in the 3 Pines property across the street. ”
