Manili Boutique Suites & Villas, an SLH Hotel in Archanes 701 00.
Perched in the Cretan highlands above Archanes, Manili Boutique Suites & Villas commands sweeping views across terraced vineyards and the Aegean beyond.
Stone architecture and local design details anchor the property in its mountainous setting, while open courtyards and infinity-edge pools seem to spill into the landscape.
At 701 meters elevation, this SLH hotel offers crisp air and dramatic light that intensifies at sunset.
Our 4 night stay in this truelly wonderful hotel was exceptional. The design created the semblance of a Creten village whilst providing luxuriant style, comfort and peerless customer service.
