We spent a month working remotely from Manolis's place and had an amazing time. Since we were working remotely and on video calls all day we needed fast and reliable internet and the accommodation had that at a stable 60-80mbs in apartment 6. Manolis and his mum were excellent hosts, I had trouble with a flat tire and Manolis helped me out and arranged the local tire place to come and fix. The apartments are well catered with everything you need, and give you a nice mix of self-catering amenities but with hotel service (Manolis on hand daily at reception and your rooms cleaned/towels & sheets changed several times a week), beautiful rooftop terrace to enjoy the sunset, a plunge pool of you want a dip, several free car parks within 20m, a really well-stocked supermarket 1 minute away, and a beautiful empty beach 15 minute drive away at Episkopi beach. Rethymno itself is a a 10 minute drive away. If you are looking for somewhere to work remoteley in the sunshine with great hospitality, this is the place for you. If you want a base to explore the beautiful island of Crete, also this is the place for you.
One word of warning with apartment 6, it does have a steep staircase to get upstairs, so if mobility is an issue this might not be the room for you.
