PortugalLoved the swimming pool, as well as the very friendly staff. The view overlooking Heraklion was really beautiful. Our room was spacious and clean. We wishes we had time to explore the traditional crafts . Super close to the airport so convenient as a last night
FranceView and weather . Spacious room. Real value for money
South AfricaComfortable beds lovely views lovely food lovely staff . Was in a village setting. But o ly 15 mins transfer from airport
United KingdomThe place is absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't believe our own eyes. Narrow streets of the village, with a lot of green, birds. Just must-see!!!
PolandLoved the old style Cretan village. The staff were fantastic. The Museum, mosaic workshop and local shops just fitted in to the village in a special way. Loved it.
GreeceThe concept of a hotel with rooms in the little streets of what was a genuine Cretan hill village is a lovely one and in-season there are apparently a number of activities as well as a swimming pool. The village is high on the hillside and on the old national road from Heraklion to Chania.
GreeceThe helpfulness of the staff. The food in the restaurant is fantastic.

The Arolithos Traditional Village Hotel occupies a cluster of buildings on the mountains outside Heraklion. Built in the late 1980s, it has been purposely designed to reproduce an authentic Cretan village and much care has been taken to recreate the atmosphere of times gone by.
In the bedrooms, modern amenities are cleverly blended with traditional . The local taverna organizes Cretan nights with mouthwatering Greek food and folk dances. A number of social events are organized during summer in the open air restaurant.
The area boasts dazzling white houses with pretty turquoise windows that host several old-fashioned stores, including a blacksmith.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
