Stella's Home: Old Town Traditional Cretan House, Heraklio Town

Stella's Home: Old Town Traditional Cretan House is a traditional Cretan house in Heraklio Town, Greece, set on Leratou Street at 6 Leratou. This is the sort of place that suits travellers who want to live at street level rather than stay behind a lobby door, with guests rating it 9.5/10 across 33 reviews. Reviewers often mention the calm, homey atmosphere and the practical comfort of having air conditioning and heating for year-round stays. Free WiFi helps when you’re planning day trips or checking opening times for museums and shops.

The location works for exploring on foot: the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Venetian Walls are about 1 km away, making it easy to fit major sights into a morning or late afternoon. From here, you can also reach the Loggia area and continue toward the Old Port waterfront in roughly 2 km, which is ideal for a relaxed evening walk.

Families and couples both tend to like the layout and the fact that there are family rooms available, while non-smoking throughout supports travellers who prefer cleaner indoor air. Guests describe settling in quickly, then stepping out for local market life and historic streets; several specifically note enjoying breakfast on a balcony with a quiet street feel. Check-out is at 11:00 AM, so you can plan a final coffee and a last stroll before heading out.

If you’re looking for a character-filled base in Heraklion’s historic core, Stella's Home is a strong match—especially when you value atmosphere, walkability, and simple comforts like WiFi and climate control.
