Conveniently situated in the very heart of the old town of Rethymno, this pearl truly stunned us. The first thing that we felt about this place, beside the genuine hospitality and kindness of the hosts, was the scent of cleanliness – yes, everything in this apartment is utterly clean and totally new. Every little detail has been paid special attention to for the guest’s convenience, from toilet accessories to kitchen appliances. To even further please the eye, every corner of the house has been neatly decorated in a modern, yet historical/traditional manner. The luxury of three balconies, one facing the main street, the other facing the beautiful back alley, and the third on top of the roof, offered us the feeling of privacy in the midst of the town buzz, the sense of blending in and inhaling the specific Cretan ambiance and scents, as well as ‘horising’ on top of the roof and ingesting stunning panoramic views of the town. This house + wonderful renowned beaches within 5 – 30 km reach made for one of the best holidays that we ever had! The restaurant Kyria Maria is also worth mentioning for its delicious fresh food and excellent location. Thank you Stelios, Athanasia, and Maria!
