Archontiko Galliaki

Harriet

Archontiko Galliaki is a perfect house to explore Crete from. Easy to the beautiful south coast, very quick to Rethymno, an hour to Heraklion and Chania. Petrakis met us to explain the workings of the house, which is fabulous, and Maria made sure it was all spotlessly clean, changing linen and cleaning midway through our stay. Petrakis recommended a few places to eat and swim, which were all amazing. We ate incredibly well all week thanks to these suggestions. I cant rate this property highly enough, though. It is quirky and charming, loads of space if you take the family, a lovely little pool in the courtyard to cool you down. We will be staying again. Harriet

We had the most amazing 16 day holiday at Archontiko Galliaki, it is great base to explore the whole of Rethymon. Dimitrisis was there to greet us with his lovely charming and warm manner despite it being gone past one am when we eventually arrived and Maria has come in every few days to change our laundry (a lovely treat which I did not know we had). We have fallen in love with this area of Crete and would come back again. Thank you

Could do with a welcome pack of local tavernas but other than that a very relaxing place to stay . Car essential - but a small one !

Fantastic Villa with perfect facilities. For a family like us wanting quiet and privacy this was absolutely ideal. Thank you to Christos for making our arrival such a friendly experience and giving us such a warm welcome. House maid was lovely too and a mention to Timos for his prompt and appreciated attention in dealing with my request at Agni. Our thanks again for a perfect relaxing holiday.

Superb villa full of charm and renovated with great taste. The courtyard and terrace make you want to come back to a more sunny time to enjoy the pool more. The house is located a few minutes from the village where there are many small shops that can be opened very late (bakeries grocery stores petrol stations and inns). 10 minutes from Rethymnon and about 30 minutes from the south of the island. We were greeted very warmly at our late arrival and we thoroughly enjoyed the comforts of the housekeeping and the linen changed in mid-stay. Luxury

I would not hesitate to recommend Archontiko Galliaki. The villa is beautiful and very well located for Rethymno and only a 20-30 minute drive of the lovely beaches on the south of the island at Plakias and Souda Bay. There are a couple of supermarkets and an excellent family run taverna in the village as well as a bakery and pharmacy. If you like to get away from it all then this is the perfect spot but hop in the car and within 10 minutes you will be in the heart of Rethymno to enjoy the excellent restaurants shopping or nightlife. I would suggest a car is essential if you really want to make the most of Crete but many excursions can be arranged from Rethymno. We used Klados Travel for our excursion to the Samaria Gorge. Chania is well worth a visit - closer to home there is the Melidoni Cave and the Arkadi Monastry. We will most definitely be back

Tanja

We enjoyed our stay very much we definitely would recommend the property to others.

We had a wonderful family holiday. The villa is well located in central Crete a short drive from Rethymno and within an hour of many destinations but also in a quiet traditional village. We enjoyed the mix of relaxing by the pool and seeing some of the historic sites often ending the day with a meal at the excellent local taverna.
