You couldn't get a better place than Valanti's : spacious, spotless, very homely in the heart of Rethimno old town. For those seeking peace & quiet the upstairs huge verandah provided the perfect refuge. Most importantly Valantis' parents, Anna and Nikos were extremely warm and hospitable people. On arrival we had a large dish of homemade "koulourakia" waiting for us, there was also water, "raki", oranges in the fridge. The kitchen, which was fully equipped, smelled of Cretan countryside with different bunches of herbs hanging from the walls. There was an abundance of good restaurants around: the food in Rethimnon was of the highest quality.
We definitely enjoyed our stay in Rethimno and our hosts generous hospitality made all the difference! Not only are we are looking forward to the opportunity to come back in the future one day but we thoroughly recommend this place to any family visiting Rethimno
