About this property

Charming Studio with City View - AVRA

This charming studio is a part of a small luxury hotel complex called Carpe Diem.

The mansion hosting Carpe Diem is located at the center of Ano Archanes Village and was built in 1890s. It was completely restored in 2023 with love and respect.
The space
The studio is ideal for couples or solo travelers and is fully equipped with everything you need to ensure a comfortable stay. It is 16 square meters large, airconditioned with free wi-fi access. It features a large kind size bed, a working desk, a full-length mirror and large windows with city view. The studio is equipped with a mini fridge, a kettle, tea or instant coffee making facilities and a satellite television. It further features a private bathroom with shower.

Right outside the studio there is an indoor shared lounge area, a shared balcony with stunning mountain views as well as a shared terrace overlooking the settlement of Archanes. Here you can take a breather from your adventures, enjoy a glass of wine, unwind with your favorite book or simply socialize with other guests or our team members.

Carpe Diem further features a private room with an indoor jacuzzi. This place is available with additional charge and by reservation only.

The Village of Ano Archanes in Eastern Crete stands as a fine example that blends a rich historical past with a vibrant contemporary community. The layers of history are evident in the present-day layout of the settlement, with remnants of the Minoan era incorporated into many buildings, their foundations often resting upon ancient or subsequent structures.

The studio is ideally located at the center of the Ano Archanes Village with restaurants & cafeterias being a stone throw away and a supermarket within a 2 minute walk.

Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every aspect of your stay is filled with warmth, comfort and the unmistakable charm of Cretan hospitality.

Last but certainly not least, for those that wish to jump start the day fully energized a traditional Cretan breakfast with locally sourced ingredients is available with the additional charge of 15 euros per person per day.
