We fully concur with Donnie Y's comments below. We also booked a one bedroom villa and while the ground floor layout was fine, we found the very steep, narrow, stairs to the bedroom very tricky to negotiate. We are both under 1.7 meters and still found most of the bedroom was too low to walk in. Plus, the ceiling came down very low over the bed-head end so if one got up during the night (or even raised themselves to a sitting position) a bad head injury would result. Our solution was to leave the downstairs light on all night so that should one wake up enough light would (hopefully) alert one to the roof beams hovering overhead. The access road was very narrow with blind bends and hardly a passing space. The property was not well signposted and we drove into a neighbour's driveway in error. We also found the managers conspicuous by their absence: there was no-one on site when we arrived: we had to phone them to arrange to be met (even though we arrived at the agreed time). So that is the bad news. The good news is that the grounds are indeed beautiful and the pool area superb. The development itself is certainly externally attractive. We also very much liked Arhanes village and the friendly people there: Bakaliko was our go-to taverna in the village square and we highly recommend it.

We spent three nights here while visiting Archanes and Heraklion. Pros: -Beautiful grounds that are extremely well maintained. -Quiet and peaceful, away from the noise. -Villa was modern, clean, and well equipped. -Coffee pods on the counter and water in the frig. -Plentiful hot water. Cons: -A bit hard to initially find. Don't try it after dark. -Limited communication prior to arrival. -No information provided on the villa prior to arrival. Ours was a one bedroom with the bedroom being upstairs. Stairs were narrow and had a 90 degree turn and three triangle shaped steps at the halfway point. The bedroom itself had a slanted ceiling which, on one side of the bed, was less than 4 feet tall. Ceiling at the highest point was only about 6.5 feet. These things combined made it a bit of a challenge for a 73 year old man, six feet tall, with bad knees. Problems were my bad. I would recommend anyone staying here communicate with the management concerning the room specifics.

We hebben echt genoten van ons huisje bij Eliathos. Het is een prachtig aangelegd kleinschalig vakantieparkje. De medewerkers zijn ontzettend vriendelijk. De bedden slapen heerlijk en de huisjes zijn keurig schoon. We genoten elke dag van een heerlijk, uitgebreid ontbijt met mooi uitzicht op de bergen en de zee in de verte. Het zwembad was in de meivakantie nog wat koud, maar dat maakte onze dochters niet uit. Het dorpje is prima te voet te bereiken, al is de weg terug wel een steile klim de berg op met een weggetje tussen de olijfboomgaarden en de wijnranken door. In het dorpje zijn verschillende leuke restaurantjes en winkels. Om iets te gaan bezichtigen moet je vaak wel eerst naar Iraklion rijden, dat duurt ongeveer een kwartier á 20 minuten. Maar vanuit Iraklion zijn veel bezienswaardigheden gemakkelijk te bereiken. Wij vonden het geen probleem en de weg slingert mooi langs een dal en geeft mooie uitzichten.

Deze residentie verdient 6*. Ongelofelijke vriendelijke en complete service. Bijzonder nette en complete omgeving. Enkel superlatieven horen hier thuis! Ik ga er zeker terug. Een aanrader voor iedereen die van rust, authenticiteit en Griekse gastvrijheid houdt.
