The homestay is fitted with a flat-screen TV. Guests can take in the views of the sea from the balcony, which also has outdoor furniture. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

The room was clean, we had everything we needed, the air-conditioning was priceless. The hostess is very helpfull, communication was perfect. The place is not in a centre but only a few minutes of walking you are in a rush street, near to bus stops, shops and restaurants, only 30 min. to Knossos on foot, e.g.

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Serapis Country House on the hill above Heraklion Off grid is situated in Archanes. With mountain views, this accommodation features a patio. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station.

We loved the countryside setting up on top of the hill, and overlooking distant areas to the north, east, and west. Fotini is a fantastic host, who welcomed us warmly and gave us very helpful information for a great stay. This was a perfect home base for touring all around the eastern, southeast, and northeast sections of Crete. It was nice being surrounded by Olive trees, lemon trees, apricot trees, and having a few chickens and rooster on the property ( penned up of course).

    Great host and amazing property Nikolas went over the top to help us We were late due to flight rescheduling But he was there to welcome us Arranged taxis. Taxi service itself was great The view from the apartment is great. Located right at the heart of the city centre with all main attractions nearby. Still it is located on quite street and you don’t get disturbed from the city hustle You have small lift to carry your luggage which is very convenient. Apartment has all the amnesty which will make your stay relaxing

    Location was very good. 10 minutes on foot from Morosini fountain with restaurants and cafes, 10 minutes from Elevtheria Square with Museum, buses to Knossos, beach and airport. Manos is a great host, speaks very good English, can give advice and is very helpful. We liked the house a lot. It has a roof terrace, lots of plants and is all in an individual, interesting style.

    Clean, safe, modern and cozy. Communication with the owner was easy. Nice location next to a small, peaceful agora. From our 2nd floor balcony we could follow everyday life of the locals, which we considered a big plus. There's a small church next to the apartments, so you can here brief ringing of the bells earliest around 7 am. Apartment is close to city center, port and major bus lines to airport, Knossos and beaches. We will definitely choose Fontem Central Living next time we visit Heraklion!

    The flat is in a quiet district ten minutes walk from the centre of town and is fully equipped. Our host, Maria, was there to give us our keys, but that took a bit of arranging, since our bus from Chania was an hour late. The flat is obviously lived in by real people when it's not being rented out and there were many things which made one feel as if one were living in someone's private home.
