We stayed in the Lemon House at this property and enjoyed its historic charm. There are more modern rooms, but this one was more to our preference. Manos was a welcoming and helpful host at this family-owned hotel. His handmade wood/iron furnishings were an added touch.
Communication with property was great. It is in a quiet area and walking distance to city centre and port. Public transport options also close by and easy to use. Having access to a washing machine was an added bonus.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Lemon Garden! We had the upstairs room and it was really quiet and comfortable. We didn’t spend a ton of time in the room/at the property as we were only in the area for 2 nights but it was a comfortable place to come back to after days out sight seeing and we loved the kitchen and included dish ware for our breakfasts in the morning. The laundry was handy although be warned there is no dryer so plan accordingly to hang your clothes. We were able to find street parking right close by both days with no issues which was a plus!

lovely plants!
Our host Manos was very friendly and helpful. Gave us an excellent recommendation for a wonderful restuarant!
This is an excellent property with a good size kitchen and apartment sized fridge. The owner met us at the residence and showed us around and helped us find a place to park our rental car. There is lots of free street parking available. The laundry room is a little building inside the courtyard which was very convenient. There is an excellent market less than a five minute walk away and it's an easy walk into Heraklion.
The location of Lemon Garden Residence was excellent, very quiet. The room was adequate for a couple. The mattress was firm. We did stay in the small room.
We loved the antiquity of the building and the furnishings in the main bedroom with full size antique bed, linen curtains, a smattering of books to read. The patio with it's many beautiful plants, strong lights, table and chairs led for cozy sitting outside. The espresso machine was nice to have use of. Would I come back? Definitely! Thank you, Manis and family. It was a wonderful stay!
Our experience here was great. I loved the coffee machine and that there was enough coffee provided for our full 4 day stay. Our host Manos was very helpful and friendly. The residence itself was beautiful and we enjoyed breakfast in the garden every morning. Highly recommend!

Lovely courtyard, lovely and helpful hosts and even a washing machine for laundry while on the road!
I chose this property because it reminded me of a loved one, and it was perfect. Yes, the shower is small, but I would not trade my stay for a bigger shower or luxury hotel. Manos was very nice as well. He was responsive and recommended some great restaurants. I highly recommend.
Un voyage incroyable dans un cocoon de verdure, de calme et de romantisme.
Manos a été aux petits soins avec nous : accueil, disponibilité, conseils vraiment génial ! Je recommande cet endroit très fonctionnel et chaleureux niché au cœur d Heraklion sans le bruit de la ville. Une belle parenthèse en amoureux.
We loved Lemon Garden! We stayed in the lemon house, it was bigger than we expected and full of amenities. It had so much charm! The outdoor space under the lemon tree was such a lovely place to enjoy a coffee in the morning. The host, Manos, was very quick to reply to our messages, and was absolutely delightful. We would definitely recommend it.
The host was very attentive, the room was very nice, modern and clean. Close to restaurants, old town square. Would recommend this facility highly. It was easy to get immersed in local culture. Would not hesitate to book again! *****
