"Rafkos Hill" Mansion
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (62)
"My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay, 5/5. The host Stelios is very welcoming, helpful and kind. The mansion is beautiful, our room was amazing with a private balcony and the pool looks over the valley and Heraklion. Go to the village restaurant Stelios recommends, it was one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. I saw a review complaining about a dog, the property has a fence around it and a gate so I don’t understand the complaint. I also didn’t hear or see a dog and the area seemed...

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (11)
"We actually stayed at Villa Pasiphae for three months when we moved to Crete this spring. The house is spacious and well equipped, even for a stay as long as ours. We spent many hours on the roof terrace, relaxing and enjoying the view. There’s almost always a good breeze, which makes it a very pleasant place to while away a few hours with a bottle of wonderful Cretan wine. There is an off street parking space (which took a bit of practice to master maneuvering), and a securely fenced garden...

Capsis Astoria Heraklion Hotel

8.4 out of 10, Very good, (936)
"The hotel is right beside the Archeological Museum and within walking distance of many other attractions. Parking is available (EUR 14/night): you pause outside in the busy street, double-parking is normal, to unload luggage and the hotel staff will then take your keys and whisk the car away to somewhere else -- give 20 minutes notice whenever you want it back. The hotel has a slightly older feel to it, but our room was spacious with a good balcony, although a small ensuite bathroom; the bed was...
