About this property

Complete house in the old town near the beach - sunny rooftop

Enjoy your “home-office” in Crete or your holidays:
Here you can stay apart and be in the old town near the sea.

Our 2-storied family house will be exclusively inhabited by you and offers a private entrance. It is located in the picturesque and lively historic centre of Rethymno with its Venetian and Turkish architectural styles, while the sea is literally just around the corner.
Here you can enjoy authentic Greek neighbourhood living in a well-tended, comfortable environment where we kept dear old elements and furniture and combined them with modern life-style equipment and amenities. This balance between old and new adds a special charm to our house which we equipped with loving attention to the detail.
The indoor space measures 90m2, distributed on two floors, plus big roof terrace.
From the ground floor, stairs lead up to the first level where the bright living area with sofa, Smart-TV, radio/CD-player, air-conditioning and Internet access are. The large space invites you to linger, and from the balcony you can watch what is going on in the original and lively neighbourhood. Next to the dining area you will find the open kitchen, which is well equipped with fridge, cooking facility including oven, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, toaster and juicer. On the same floor you will also find a WC with washing machine.
The 2 air-conditioned bedrooms as well as the fully equipped bathroom with bathtub and WC are located on the second floor. The bedroom facing the street is equipped with two twin beds (90x200cm), which can be used as a double bed on request, air-conditioning, a writing desk and provides a balcony. The other bedroom to the back of the house has a double bed (160x200cm), air-condition, a private veranda and access over an iron staircase to the large roof top with view to the Venetian fortress “Fortezza” and the sea.
The roof terrace is a great place to relax in the open and is equipped with an umbrella, 2 sun beds and dining table.
For the few colder days of the year, we provide radiator and fan heaters as well as air-conditioning.
Bath towels and linen will be provided.
You reach the long sandy beach, which has been awarded with the Blue Flag, in a short 5-minute walk. The Venetian Harbour, other sights, museums, small shops, supermarkets, cafes, taverns, restaurants and bars can be found in the immediate vicinity which may be audible on the side facing the street.

We do our best to protect your health and have adapted our cleaning to the new requirements.
Furthermore, a self-check-in and -out without our presence can be arranged.

Workation
Wir waren 4 Wochen in dem tollen Ferienhaus (2Wochen arbeiten- super W-LAN- 2 Wochen Urlaub). Das Haus war perfekt, die Lage super am Rand der Altstadt, Läden, Tavernen und ein kleiner Supermarkt in unmittelbarer Nähe, zum 16 km langen Sandstrand nur 5 Gehminuten. Die Gastgeberin war super freundlich, hat unsere Transfers zum Flughafen organisiert und uns viele Tipps für Unternehmungen gegeben. Bei unserer Ankunft warteten schon ein paar Kleinigkeiten, eine Flasche Wein und Obst im Kühlschrank! Die Wohnräume haben alle Klimaanlage, was manchmal bei zunehmenden Temperaturen im Juli sehr angenehm war. Und die Dachterrasse war an den lauen Sommerabenden ein Traum! Ein toller Aufenthalt, vielen Dank an Katja für dieses perfekte Arbeits-/Urlaubserlebnis!

Traumhafter Winterurlaub
Wir waren 6 Wochen von Mitte Januar bis Ende Februar in diesem wirklich schönen Stadthaus in Retymno. Alle Erwartungen , die wir in Kenntnis der detaillierten Objektbeschreibung hatten, wurden erfüllt, alle Räume sind gemütlich eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts. Besonderes Highlight ist die große Dachterrasse mit einer traumhaften Aussicht auf‘s Meer, den Ort und die schneebedeckten Berge im Hinterland. Die Wintersonne ist schon so warm, dass man sich tagsüber gut auf der Zwischenterrasse auf der Ebene der Schlafräume und der Dachterrasse aufhalten kann. Frau Haffenrichter stand bei Rückfragen jederzeit zur Verfügung und hatte viele Tipps für die Restauration, Exkursionen und Besichtigungen, die wir gern genutzt haben. Die ruhige Lage des Hauses empfanden wir als optimal für uns im Gebiet der schönen Altstadt, nahe am Meer und an allen Geschäften des täglichen Bedarfs. Wir als die wenigen Touristen im Ort wurden überall sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit empfangen und bedient. Mit all diesen positiven Eindrücken können wir jedem Interessierten einen Urlaub in diesem Ort und dem schönen Haus empfehlen, und dies auch einmal zur Winterzeit. Wir kommen gern wieder. Susanne und Ferdinand

Klasse Wohnung!
Wohnung war genauso wie in der Beschreibung, alles sehr gut. Tagsüber auf den Balkonen oder der Dachterrasse zu sitzen….einfach super! Und Abends empfiehlt sich ein Bummel durch die Altstadt oder der Strandpromenade entlang. Empfang durch die Eigentümerin sehr nett, alles problemlos, genauso wie die Übergabe am Ende des Urlaubs. Empfehlenswert!

Awesome location
This house was amazing. We totally loved everything about it. I would highly recommend it. The owner was sweet and kind, as were all the people in Greece. Everybody's honest and kind. We drove right to the door dropped off bags and then parked the car at the marina very close by. This is definitely the place to stay in Crete. We were in Athens, Leros, Santorini, and several small Islands including Patmos, but I think this one was top on the list. All of Greece is Very safe, no guns which coming from the USA was a pleasant experience no crime. Everything's within walking distance. Lots of shopping right outside your door one street over probably 50 wonderful places to pick to eat. We also had a fun Excursion with the jet skis only a couple blocks away. It was just fabulous thank you so much to our host.

Fabulous location
A beautiful house in a perfect location in the old town. Katrin was a brilliant host; excellent communication and top tips for places to eat and park our hire car. There was a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge too which we very much appreciated and enjoyed. The balcony off the sitting room is a great place to people watch in the evening and the roof terrace is fabulous to watch the sunset. The bed is super comfy and even though the property is in the old time it is very quiet at night. Thank you Katrin for making our stay perfect!

Bedrooms on a separate floor, each with balcony.
Big roof terrace with splendid views on the sea, over the old town roofs to the Venetian fortress.

What makes this property unique

Great location, clean, bright, fully equipped, huge rooftop terrace!
