A wonderful setting
Beautiful grounds, pool and vistas. Very friendly staff, and breakfast was very good. Just be aware you’re driving narrow country roads to get up to the property, about 1/2 mile outside Archanes. We’d do it again without hesitation, but probably not with the unit we booked. It had a loft bedroom with steep stairs and low ceiling height for half the loft. Fine for shorter folks or younger people. Not ideal at age 70.

Eliathos Residences are a set of pretty buildings in the hillside outside of Archanes. The setting is in the country and the flowers are beautiful - the roses were spectacular. The pool is lovely and has a terrific view. We had a studio which was clean and comfortable. The people at the hotel were very helpful and made our stay special. Katrina was particularly warm and welcoming. She went out of her way to take care of us, from driving into town to show us the way to the hotel, to offering a welcome drink and cookies, to suggesting walks and helping us find a wonderful taxi driver who took us to Heraklion. I happily and strongly recommend Eliathos Residences to others - you will enjoy your stay.

Enjoying mountain village.
Great way to enjoy living on a mountain in a luxurious villa. It was somewhat difficult to find but once found it turned out to be a gem. The staff was amazing and the spoke English. The room, gardens, and pool were very well maintained. The road from the village was over 1 km, narrow and winding up a hill (the only drawback to staying there). For 10 euros you can have a hardy tradition breakfeast at the hotel. We would the go to Heraklion for the day (approx. 30 minutes away) to browse and visit museums. We also visited Knossos in the late afternoon when there was less heat and tourists. In the evenings we would have dinner at the village center. There were a number of excellent restaurants. At the end of the meal, they would provide a complimentary dessert along with raking (Cretan moonshine).

Brilliant place
Eliathos is a wonderful place to stay: beautiful location, beautiful accommodation, and Artemis the owner was friendly, welcoming, and always around (not always in the reception though--e-mail is best). The village is lovely to wander around in and has a great atmosphere, everyone was very friendly. We rented a car and spent most of our time hiking around the island, and Eliathos was a perfect base. It is also a perfect place for relaxing and lazing around -- the pool is clean and welcoming and has a fantastic view. Go!

Lot of room for improvement with cleanliness and attention to detail. Should not expect to get sheets and towels with holes.

Beautiful relaxing place to stay
Buildings and gardens around property are really well maintained and feel authentically Cretan yet modern. Small cluster of apartments at top of hillside mean it is quiet and a good place for a relaxing stay, yet close enough to Archanes to pop into the town square for a meal in the evening (recommended - local cafes and hotels are good). Staff / owner were lovely. The place is small enough to give a good personal experience. We arrived late at night and it can be a little hard to find in the dark. Many local roads are unnamed and very steep and can just peter out into dirt tracks. Part of the charm but best to be ready for it. Discovered next day a lot of signs about halfway up lamp posts in the area giving directions.

Away from the madding crowd.
We had just spent a week sailing along the north Cretan coast so were ready for 3 days R&R and our stay at Eliathos exceeded all our expectations, in terms and comfort, facilities and location. But what really made our stay memorable was the hospitality shown by all the team and in particular Argyro (Silver) who really looked after us making sure we fed, watered and as comfortable as possible .... thanks again Argyro. The residence is a 1 Km from the main square and sits on a hill, so the way down is fine and the way back if you are used to walking and hills is not a problem; we carried our provisions back from the supermarket after a meal and few glasses of local wine with no worries ........ and we are 60 :0)

Tranquility and comfort
The residences were clean, modern and with all the comforts. The surroundings were so peaceful and the landscaping of the grounds were beautiful. Perfect place for those escaping busy city life. The only drawback is the need to drive to go anywhere.
