Fyllosia Villa is the finest place my husband and I have ever stayed in 35 years of travel, period, bar none.
We didn't even leave it a couple of days because it was just too pleasant, peaceful, & relaxing. Three different terraces to sit and admire the views on all sides...goats wandering by with clonking bells around their necks...It felt like going back in time a hundred years (but with clean, modern amenities.) You can see the city of Heraklion from the upper terrace but you can't hear a thing: not the airplanes taking off nor any traffic. The sunrises and sunsets were glorious. This is definitely a rural country setting, but only a couple of minutes from the village of Archanes and about 20 minutes from Heraklion.
Our host Minas went far above and beyond the typical, meeting with us, showing us the workings of the home, and providing us with unexpected delights: wine, bread, butter, yogurt, croissants, coffee, water: everything we could possibly need for several days, plus he recommended many places to visit, to shop, to discover, to explore. Oh and ripe pomegranates off the tree beside the house.
Just a mile or so beyond Kato Archanes is Upper Archanes, where you will find excellent restaurants and an informative, free archaeological museum. Definitely try the taverna in Upper Archanes called Pοδακινιές, or Peachtrees. It's right on the main street. The food was delicious and reasonably priced.
Archanes is an ideal starting point for so much on Crete. Knossos, of course, Phaistos, the Dikteon Cave, and swimming, both north and south. (And much more). For us, Fyllosia Villa was a perfect central location for seeing all we wanted to see, getting us out of the noise and traffic of the city, but keeping us close enough to go back whenever we wished.
This home has nothing but 5 star reviews, and now that I've stayed there a week, I completely understand why. I happily add mine to the list. I would love to go back one day.

This home is absolutely stunning. The views are incredible. The host went above and beyond to help us with anything that we requested. The Location of the home is very private and serene. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for somewhere that you can actually relax and unwind and disconnect.

The place is superb!

Location, facilities, decoration, amenities - all top-top!

What strikes is a total silence and tranquility of the place

Minas is a wondeful host with a vast knowledge of the area. The places he recommended to visit and where to eat were top-notch!

I would highly recommend staying in the villa

Reviews

Fyllosia Villa

Our host, Minas, was extremely thoughtful, responsive, and caring. The home is absolutely beautiful with great views of the mountains and sea in the distance. The interior and exterior were both gorgeous. A very relaxing, peaceful, well cared for home!

Lovely place in the hills above Heraklion with an incredible view. The host, Minas, went the extra mile to ensure the stay was perfect. Would recommend this gem for any time of the year. Home well maintained with abundant ameneties to make your stay very comfortable. Great restaurants and vineyards within 10-15 minutes drive. Walks to the nearby Fourni forest well worth the effort.

Super friendly host! The fridge was stocked with 6 bottles of 1.5L water and even beer. The house was very clean, well equipped and maintained. Spacious and have beautiful garden, balcony and back porch facing beautiful views. We really enjoyed the stay.
