4-Star Suites Inside a 500-Year-Old Venetian Lodge in Argyroupolis
Historic Setting
Arcus Suites occupies a restored 500-year-old Venetian lodge in the traditional village of Argyroupolis. The building retains its original architectural character while offering a sun terrace, a lush garden, and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool. Guests can wander through the village's cobbled streets to discover the Springs of Argyroupolis and the ancient city ruins of Lappa.
Accommodations & Suites
Each suite has a distinct design; for example, the Superior Suite includes a jacuzzi in the bedroom and a separate lounge with kitchen. Family rooms and interconnected rooms are available, all equipped with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and smart technologies such as programmable light switches. The Junior Suite offers a separate seating area and is known for its unexpected, individual layout.
Dining
Breakfast is served as a homemade meal with local specialities, warm dishes, fresh pastries, and vegetarian or vegan options. Guests can also order wine or champagne through room service, or request special diet menus. Nearby tavernas serve home-cooked Cretan dishes, and the hotel provides packed lunches for day trips.
Leisure
The seasonal outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by lush gardens with daybed lounges and sun loungers. A hot tub and spa bath are available, and the hotel arranges full-body, head, neck, foot, hand, and couples massage treatments. Bicycle rental, walking tours, and bike tours can be organised through the tour desk.
Points of Interest
Arcus Suites is 24 km from the Archaeological Museum of Rethymno and 63 km from Chania International Airport. Episkopi Beach lies 7 km away, and the Venetian Harbour and Fortezza Castle are within driving distance. Guests can explore the Springs of Argyroupolis on foot and visit the ancient city ruins of Lappa in the same area.
