The property includes a private rooftop terrace that offers views to the castle of Fortezza. The central bus station of Rethymno and the popular swimming beach are within short walking distance. Air-conditioned throughout, this holiday home comes with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a home cinema with Netflix and high-speed Wi-Fi. On the first level of the property you will find a spacious living room attached to a cosy balcony that oversees a picturesque alley. Right next to the first floor living room there is a large kitchen, equipped with a full-sized fridge and freezer, an oven with a stove top, a microwave, a water kettle, a coffee pod machine (Dolce Gusto), a French press cafetière, a blender for baby food, a dishwasher, cooking utensils and condiments. There is also a comfortable dining area for the whole family, an HDTV with a collection of DVDs and a sound system for your music. The first-floor bedroom comes with a comfortable king size bed. Across the bedroom you will find a bathroom that includes a walk-in shower and a clothes washer. In the hallway there is a sofa that can easily be converted into a double bed to accommodate additional guests (either two children or one adult). The second-floor bedroom is essentially an independent penthouse, ideal for those sharing the residence with their extended family or friends but still wish to have their own space. This bedroom comes with a twin assortment of beds, an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, a work desk and ample wardrobe space to hang your dresses and shirts. The second-floor bedroom is also attached to the private rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy breakfast, sunbathe in one of the loungers or have some wine under the stars, observing the castle of Fortezza in the horizon. This holiday home is situated in an authentic Greek neighbourhood, in the heart of Rethymno’s Old Town. Popular attractions near the property include the castle of Fortezza, the Venetian Harbour, the archaeological museum and the Modern Art Gallery. There are plenty of restaurants near the house, as well as a grocery store which stays open 7 days a week. A hair and nail salon can be found next door. The most convenient way to reach the house from Heraklio Airport (HER) or Chania Airport (CHQ) is by using the public bus service. If you plan on renting a car upon landing, you can find free (subject to availability) and paid parking options in the surrounding area. You can also take a taxi from either airport to the house – the ride will take about 1 hour. Guests will have the entire property to themselves. The house has a private entrance and benefits from direct street access. Check-in is completely contactless. We offer complimentary toiletries, bath towels and 100% cotton bedding. All towels and bedding are washed in water that's at least 60°C/140°F between stays. A hairdryer is available, as well as a clothes iron and ironing board. A baby cot and a highchair are available on request. There is space to store a baby stroller at the hallway. As there are stairs leading from street level to the first floor living room, unfortunately this home is not suitable for individuals with reduced mobility. Guests can smoke in the balcony or the rooftop terrace but not inside. This accommodation is licensed by the Greek National Tourism Organization.

Stairs up to flat with luggage could have been a problem but friendly restaurant owners carried our luggage up to the flat. Great spot for sight seeing and some very good restaurants.

Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly D. 27 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great apartment in the heart of old town This was a great apartment for our week in Rethymno! Lots of space for my husband, 3 teens and myself. The apartment was clean and bright, with great people watching down below from the living room. I loved walking out the door and being immediately part of the old town scene. It could get a little loud in the evening, but the bedrooms are well placed so as to not be impacted. As noted in the listing, parking a car is tough, but we learned how to navigate this after the first couple of days. Thanks to this family for hosting us! I’d definitely recommend and would stay again. ##### Molly D.

Very clean, a lot of space, beautiful roof terace, and very kind people. We felt like being at home. A lot of very good restaurants in the near, but no possibility to park the car in nearby the house. ##### eva g.

The apartment is well-equipped with all you need for a comfortable holiday. It was perfectly clean on arrival. The decor has a pleasant Cretan feel and is tastefully furnished. The kitchen has anything you need with some unforeseen extras. The terrace is great for sitting out in the morning and the front mini balcony is good for people watching. The location is perfect for the old town shops and restaurants. It is only a 15 minute stroll to the beach. Beach towels are a welcome addition as it saves on packing. The aircon is modern, silent and suitably placed where it is needed. The owner has clearly thought through what is needed and provided an excellent holiday base in this lovely old town. We were made to feel very welcome. I can recommend it without reservation. ##### Douglas S.
