Our party of 4 adults and 3 teenagers booked Leonidas Domus after having another location cancel our reservation. And we were very glad that things turned out this way. First of all, Rethymno is a beautiful town with renaissance Italian buildings with a touch of Ottoman influence. There are many small alleyways with countless restaurants and bars, a beautiful Venetian harbor, a castle and a decent beach about 15 minutes walking distance.
The house itself is perfect. The location is right in the middle of the old city, facing a beautiful basilica. It was advertised as 4 bedrooms, which were all very good, but also had another room downstairs which serves as a gym but has a single bed and a toilet-shower as well: Excellent for the snorer who gets kicked out of bed in the middle of the night :) …. The pool is lovely for an afternoon dip and there is a gas barbeque for those who love to grill. The kitchen is fully equipped and a nearby grocery store has everything you need. The hosts Maria and Leonidas are super nice and take good care of their property. We arrived to a spotlessly clean house. A pool cleaner comes every few days. What else can I say? Its just perfect.
