Dimargio Luxury Hotel & Spa features a fitness centre, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Heraklio Town. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The property is 400 metres from the city centre and 2.3 km from Amoudara Beach. Our stay for 3 nights was the perfect start to our holiday in Crete. The hotel is still new (opened 2 years ago) and the room we stayed in was spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. We had a large terrace with a nice view of the city and the sea. The people at reception and breakfast were friendly and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. They created the welcoming atmosphere of a family hotel. The breakfast was really (really!) great: lots of choice, with a good variety of savoury and sweet, and many local products (including some delicious pastries). The courtyard where it is served is pleasant, and I could easily imagine spending half a day here with a good book to read. Finally, the location was also ideal: in easy walking distance to everything we wanted to visit (including the archaeological museum), yet very quiet.
