The house is beautiful, all the amenities we could have wanted, and the location is excellent, on a lovely residential street but with the hustle and bustle of the Old Town just round the corner. The house is light and airy, with plenty of sunshine shining in, but plenty of shade as well. The terrace is a huge bonus, with a good canopy and a great view of the Venetian Fort. There is a vast amount of living space, with separate living rooms, two full bathrooms and a good kitchen.
Everything is within 5 minutes walk - supermarkets, bakery, Old Town, restaurants etc. The harbour is 10 minutes walk away, with the main beaches (sunbeds etc) 20 minutes walk away.
The house has a lovely terrace, with table and chairs, a good canopy for shade and a great view of the Venetian Fort. Our host was extremely helpful, even meeting us at 3am after out flight was delayed.
We couldn't recommend this house more strongly, and we had a marvellous visit. However, its worth noting that one of the two upstairs bedrooms isn't entirely private, as it is partitioned off from the upstairs lounge area but doesn't have a door. Also, the third bedroom also has the access door to the terrace.
Not a problem for us, as we stayed as a family group, but worth mentioning.
But, overall, can't think of a better place to stay in Rethymno.
