- "We spent 2 fantastic weeks in Archon Villa, enjoying swimming pool, oliver trees, mountains, view all around and calm. Villa and property was super clean and superbly appointed. Most of all, Manya has welcome us in a great way, helping us with good contacts and tips on the region, and also (most important :)) brought us some nice cretan meals... so delicious !!! Thanks again Manya for your wlecome and see you soon" - "I didn't realize there were two villages called 'Maza' in Crete - Villa Archon is near the wrong Maza! But what a wonderful mistake to have made. The villa is beautiful and supremely comfortable. Set amongst the hills, I awoke every morning to the sun creeping down the mountains and the sound of the sheep bells. Every view is stunning - of a landscape that hasn't changed for over 50 years. The stone work and landscaping around the villa provide a never ending series of beautiful places to sit and absorb your surroundings. Honestly, there cannot be another host like Manya. She greeted us at 1.30 am with home cooked meal, greek salad and a glass of wine. She had stocked the fridge with everything we could possibly need for the next few days . 4 days later she returned with more Cretan delicacies for us to enjoy. It is a long trip from the USA, but we cannot wait to return. Paleochora, the nearest town is reached via a hair-raising, but absolutely stunning mountain drive. Somehow this little town provides everything a visitor could need and yet avoids any of the jarring elements of the more heavily touristed towns on the north of the island."
