Entire property with a villa of two houses for your stay, with a large private garden and private swimming pool, for an unforgettable vacation!
Experience a unique holiday in a traditional, stone-built villa dating back to 1810. It was aesthetically renovated in 2003, always with respect to the traditional Cretan architecture.
This place offers a real journey into the past, while providing all the modern comforts to experience the unforgettable vacation you dream of.
By booking this villa for your vacation, you have a total of two separate houses at your disposal.
In one house there are three bedrooms with four beds that can accommodate six people. It has two bathrooms and a WC inside one master bedroom.
The second house has two bedrooms with three beds that can accommodate four people, and has two bathrooms.
Each house has a living room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen as well as outdoor areas (see detailed description of the rooms of this listing).
Having both houses of the property at your disposal, you do not need to strictly* follow the "quiet hours" since you are a single reservation and neither of the spaces is considered shared.
* there are no other guests within the property (who in that case would be close enough to you), so you will not disturb other tenants. However, the "quiet hours", which are 23:00 - 07:00 and 15:00 - 17:30, do not cease to apply for the neighborhood (that goes for loud music and noises in general). ---------- This property is at the village of Roustika. Its geographical position allows Roustika to be the perfect spot of accommodation, since it is easy to schedule your daily tours around the Rethymnon prefecture, having even the farthest points of interest on almost equal distances. At the same time, your accommodation is in a peaceful neighborhood, where you can enjoy quietness and privacy. There is a variety of points of interest around Roustika. Except beaches at North and South, you have access to: - The water springs of Argyroupolis - Lake Kourna - The small canyon of Kotsifos - The Church of Holy Five Virgins and ancient cemetery - Monastery of Prophet Elias - A miniatures park and more...

Thank you Gawain for your lovely review. We wish you to have a great upcoming winter!!
Deux maisons très bien rénovées et très bien équipées vous tendent les bras. Beaucoup de WC et salles d'eaux facilitent l'intimité. La piscine est superbe et les extérieurs s'adaptent pour ombre et soleil. Vous serez très bien accueillis. Seul bémol, l'emplacement. A 30mn des plages du Nord ET du Sud, du Lac de Kourkas et de Rethymnon, mais il faut une voiture. Au moins c'est calme. Une taverne dans Roustika que nous n'avons pas eue le temps de tester... Nous recommandons bien sûr cet endroit
