    We arrived late from our flight to Heraklion and Eleni greeted us like we were family. We felt welcome in Crete from the first moment! Spent a very quiet night and were served a wonderful breakfast. Perfect.

    Carpe Diem is a beautiful hotel in the centre of Archanes. The host, Eleni, met us and helped us to park not too far away. The room was stunning with a splendid bed and bathroom. A wonderful place!

Property information

Carpe Diem is a project that started from a simple idea: to turn a 19th century stone countryside mansion into a functional complex which offers to any visitor the experience of genuine tradition that embraces modern comfort. Easier said than done, but today Carpe Diem counts three rooms, two suites and one apartment, located in the heart of the old village of Ano Archanes, which have been conceived to transfer to hosts that "I feel home" feeling which often makes a short stay or a longer vacation unforgettable. Natural stone, wood, metal, all mingle in harmony with the Cretan hills and heritage to guarantee enjoyment for all tastes, from culture to gastronomy, from nature to history.
