Summary: Hello, our stay at Prodromi began with a more than friendly welcome from Magna, the owner. She cares about the well-being of her tenants. The house is even more impressive than in the photos and when we see it from the top of the road, we say to ourselves that we made the right choice. The exterior layout invites us to enjoy the calm of this tiny hamlet. A mini-paradise... no... PARADISE!

Summary: I didn't realize there were two villages called 'Maza' in Crete - Villa Archon is near the wrong Maza! But what a wonderful mistake to have made. The villa is beautiful and supremely comfortable. Set amongst the hills, I awoke every morning to the sun creeping down the mountains and the sound of the sheep bells. Every view is stunning - of a landscape that hasn't changed for over 50 years. The stone work and landscaping around the villa provide a never ending series of beautiful places to sit and absorb your surroundings. Honestly, there cannot be another host like Manya. She greeted us at 1.30 am with home cooked meal, greek salad and a glass of wine. She had stocked the fridge with everything we could possibly need for the next few days . 4 days later she returned with more Cretan delicacies for us to enjoy. It is a long trip from the USA, but we cannot wait to return. Paleochora, the nearest town is reached via a hair-raising, but absolutely stunning mountain drive. Somehow this little town provides everything a visitor could need and yet avoids any of the jarring elements of the more heavily touristed towns on the north of the island.

Summary: A very nice estate – we felt like to be at home from the first to the last minute. 😊 Everything was well designed, we liked the combination of virgin stones and plants all across the villa. At the same time the whole entity was very practical, very clean and we didn’t miss anything. Manya is a very obliging renter. We got a welcome package when we arrived including very nice dishes – given that we were able to enjoy cretan livestyle from the beginning. She offered us to be available every time via mail or by phone just in case we have questions or have problems. The area where the villa is located provides everything a heart desires – an extremely beatiful mountain view, nice beaches, shopping facilities and nice taverns around Paleochora – we were the first time at Crete and we immediately started loving it. Manya suggested us some very good recommendations for places to visit and how to get there - each of these recommendations were a complete success – at the end of our stay we met her in Chania for handing over the key which gives us the chance to see some beatiful places in Chania. We know that some day we will come back and we are looking forward for that. Many thanks to Manya to have a such great holiday and Manya: stay the way you are 😊

Summary: Archon Villa is just beautiful, with nice interior spaces and a stupendous setting. The garden, the pool, and the dining deck all offer views of the hills planted with olive trees. Especially delightful is the flock of sheep living close by. We were entertained by the sounds of bells and cries of the lambs finding their mothers. The owners were attentive to all our needs, and helpful with information about where to visit and, especially, where to eat. There are several roads to Podromi. The hilly road from Paleochora to the villa is narrow, winding and without guardrails. We got used to it quickly, but it should not be driven at night. This is a quiet, peaceful villa away from the crowds.

Summary: Manya's home is truly that -- a home full of all the personal touches that make a vacation there a true step into the local environment. She is such a gracious host, welcomed us personally and shared a number of tips for local sights and hiking in the area. We travel often, and this turned out to be one of our best holidays in years. Relaxing (the quiet of Prodromi), authentic (the olive tree hills, scenic drives, and charming small villages), perfect little hidden beaches (20-30 min away or explore further along the coast), hiking opportunities all around (direct from your doorstep, or phenomenal gorges just around the corner), and wonderful cuisine. Quiet dinners or outdoor breakfasts at the house topped it all off. The house itself is fully equipped, all the comforts; Manya had left breakfast items for us and even drove over from Chania one night with dinner. Top recommendation.

Summary: Wonderful! Our best holiday ever in Europe. Complete tranquility - nothing but fantastic views and the gentle sound of sheep and goat bells ringing within the hills. Amazing villa - spacious, beautifully decorated, excellently equipped. Gorgeous terraces and a welcome outdoor jacuzzi. Manya is a terrific hostess who could not do enough for us. She made us most welcome and left a great hamper and the fridge stocked for us - she even made us a home made meal one night - thank you Manya. We would recommend this villa to anybody who wants a taste of a peaceful oasis with stunning beaches within easy reach.

Summary: Four of us have just had a great week at Archon Villa. The property is absolutely spotless, beautiful, and well-equipped. And its in a very peaceful little hamlet in the hills a few miles away from the little beach town of Paleochora. Everything was green and covered with flowers, and there are beautiful walks straight from the house. Evenings were spend on the terrace watching the sun go down and listening to the scops owls, - totally relaxing. And the hospitality from Manya, the wonderful owner, was just amazing. She was so welcoming, and gave us gifts of food and her own olive oil and wine. She really made the holiday, and we were left with such a good impression of Crete. Thanks Manya!

Summary: Archon Villa is a really beautiful and luxurious place, very well integrated in the landscape. It stands alone, among just a few houses, churches and lots of goats. As the villa is located in the hills, you feel a difference in temperature compared to the coast. The villa is perfectly well equiped, beyond your expectations. We enjoyed a maximum of comfort. There is a huge space, inside and outside. The terraces have beautiful views over wide open spaces and the jacuzzi is fun and cooling. Manya, our host, was just wonderful. She took great care of us. She welcomed us with lots of fresh food and drinks. And each time she came, she brought us delicious, traditional home cooked meals. THANK YOU AGAIN, Manya! A car is essential as you have to go to Paleochora for shopping, which is about a 20 minutes drive down a scenic route (be careful of the goats!). Paleochora is a small town, touristic but keeping its traditional and authentic atmosphere. There are a lot of nice beaches in the area, and also many walks, with different levels of difficulty. You can find many taverns in Paleochora, but our prefered tavern was the one located in the old school of the village of Anidri (5 minutes drive before reaching Paleochora). If you are looking for a quiet, luxurious and secluded holiday, in natural surroundings, with only the sound of the breeze and the bells of the goats, this is the place to go!
