About this apartment rental

This unique apartment is sitting on the top of a 19th century fully renovated building, next to the sea.
Spacious (78 s.m.) and bright, it consists of a living room with open air kitchen, 2 bedrooms: the master bedroom (10 s.m.) with a double queen size bed and the second bedroom (8 s.m.) with two single beds, and 2 bathrooms (one en suite). The sofa can be converted to a double bed, to accommodate a fifth or sixth person.
It features two amazing terraces, one offering great view of the roof tops of the old town and one facing the beautiful Venetian lighthouse, milestone of the city of Rethymno. The view to the Aegean Sea is breathtaking, allowing you to relax and daydream...
While staying in this unique apartment, you will find yourself in the middle of the city' s nightlife. The local area is served by many shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Most of the major nightclubs, cafes and restaurants are just on your feet, the only thing you need to do is go down the stairs and you’re right in the heart of everything! Within walking distance is a super market, where you can find all you may need for everyday cooking.
Soon, you will find yourself lost in the picturesque neighborhoods of Rethymno, where you will discover the Venetian era of the city, as well as unique souvenirs to take home.
One of the highlights of the apartment is that the road beneath is pedestrianized from 8pm to 1am. That means you can stroll around undisturbed by the traffic, or you can hire a bicycle to wonder about the old city.
If you’re in the mood for swimming, the sea is right on your feet. Or you can find an organized beach with sun beds, umbrellas and a variety of water sports within a 10 minute walking distance.

The apartment features double windows, that are completely sound proof, but keep in mind that it is situated in the most vibrant part of the city, with lots of bars and restaurants underneath.
Also notice that the apartment is situated on the second floor and that the building does not feature an elevator (as most buildings in the old city). So, if you have problems climbing up the stairs, this house is not the right one for you.

For longer term stays, there is a free, weekly cleaning service.

The apartment is fully air-conditioned and we provide you with clean bed linen and towels and bath amenities.
There is also a washing machine, a steam - iron and a hair dryer, and you can connect to the Internet through a wireless connection in the entire apartment. The modern kitchen is fitted with all the amenities you'll need to dine in when not enjoying the fantastic selection of restaurants in the vicinity. These include microwave, oven, elements and complete sets of cutlery, crockery and glasses.

Once you confirm your reservation, I will give you a list of restaurants, bars and coffees, as well as unique beaches and other places of interest within the area of Rethymno. I will also be available in case you may need any kind of information regarding your stay.
The local bus station that connects you to Crete's major ports is 1 km away, while the taxi station is opposite the entrance of the building.
If you have a car, there are two parking areas, one next to the city’s old Venetian port (290 meters away) and one on the city’s harbour (750 meters away).
Check in and check out time can be flexible, according to availability.

12 wunderschöne Tage in Rethymnon
12 wunderschöne Tage in Rethymnon
Meine beiden erwachsenen Kinder und ich hatten eine tolle Zeit in Rethymnon Ende August - Anfang September 2021. Das Appartment ließ keine Wünsche offen, besonders die traumhafte und sehr großzügige Terrasse in Richtung Meer hat uns begeistert. Sehr schön war es auch, fußläufig alles erreichen zu können: Den Strand, die wunderschöne Altstadt, tolle Restaurants und Bars... Und selbst, wenn unten noch viel los war, bekamen wir im Appartment davon wenig mit, sobald wir die Fenster schlossen, was aufgrund der in allen Räumen vorhandenen Klimaanlagen kein Problem war. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Das war ein perfekter Urlaub in einer Wohnung mit Traumlage. Abends richtig was los. AAA Lage der Wohnung. Was man mögen muss war der Treppenraum... aber das ist halt so in einer Altstadt. Die Aussicht von der Dachtrerrasse lässt den Weg durchs Treppenhaus vergessen.

Wieder klasse!
Wieder klasse!
Wir waren bereits vor zwei Jahren in Irinis Wohnung, und es war auch diesesmal wieder klasse! Die Lage mir den großen Dachterrassen ist einmalig. Die Klubs sind sehr laut, das muss man wissen und mögen. Dank sehr guter neuer Fenster und Klimaanlagen in allen Zimmern ist das aber kein Problem! Irini ist immer kurtzfristig zu erreichen, die Schlüsselübergabe ist einfach. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir trotz Corona einfach wieder nach Rethymnon gefahren sind. Alle sind sehr um Sicherheit bemüht, das merkt man überall ohne dass es unangenehm wird.

A wonderful apartment in old Town Rethymno
A wonderful apartment in old Town Rethymno
A great week had in this apartment. Fantastic location only a few steps from the beach and the charming old town with all its bars, restaurants and shops. The apartment was roomy, very well furnished and stunning views from the front and back. Many hours spent relaxing on the front terrace watching the world go by although a bit too noisy to do so late at night. However once the doors were closed, it was peaceful and quite so a good night’s sleep could be had. Irini was very helpful providing us with lists of places to visit and eat and she always responded promptly to any queries we raised. A very relaxing and enjoyable time spent.

Wir haben uns bei Irini extrem wohl gefühlt! Besonders gut hat uns die Kommunikation vorab gefallen: Irini ist nicht vor Ort, aber managt die Wohnungsübergabe je nach Ankunftszeit mit Ihrer Haushälterin. Dafür reicht eine kurze Nachricht, wenn man auf dem Weg von Heraklion nach Rethymnon ist. Die Lage der Wohnung und der Blick vom Balkon ist wirklich einmalig, es gibt eben nicht viele schöne Dachterassen in der Nähe des veneziansichen Hafens. Man muss natürlich mögen, dass unter dem Balkon die beiden gefühlt lautesten Bars des ganzen Abschnitts sind. Wir kennen die Ecke aber gut, und somit war das vorher klar und kein Problem. Die Wohnung ist komplett ausgestattet, allerdings ohne Geschirrspüler. Die Schlafzimmer sind klein, aber mit gut funktionierenden Klimaanlagen und dicht schließenden Fenstern. Irini schreibt 100% soundproof, und tatsächlich bekommt man von den Bars kaum etwas mit. Die Treppen sind sehr steil und schmal. Das ist nicht unbedingt etwas für Leute, die schlecht zu Fuß sind oder einen Kinderwagen hoch und runter wuchten müssen. Den könnte man auch nur in der Wohnung abstellen. Ansonsten kann man von dieser Wohnung aus wirklich alles perfekt zu Fuß erledigen. Auf der einen Seite ist die Altstadt, auf der anderen Seite der Hafen und die Strände. In 10 Min. Entfernung hinter dem Yachthafen beginnt der eigentliche Badestrand. Gleich die ersten 100m Strand sind noch OHNE Liegen und Sonnenschirme und man ist unter Einheimischen. Danach beginnt direkt das übliche Remmidemmi mit Bananenreiten, Jetski usw... Für jeden was dabei. Irini schickt vorab eine umfangreiche Info mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants, Stränden und Sehenswürdigkeiten in der näheren Umgebung. Die Tipps sind wirklich gut! Wir empfehlen eine kurze Tretboot-Tour auf dem Kournas-See, möglichst Vormittags - das war es noch nicht voll. Man sieht tatsächlich Schlangen, Schildkröten, Süßwasserkrabben etc. Außerdem empfehlen wir eine Wanderung in der Agios Antonios Gorge mit anschließendem Mittag in der Taverna Drimos. Nicht täuschen lassen: Die Taverne ist zwar so groß, als wartet sie täglich auf 12 Reisebusse, aber der griechische Salat war umwerfend und wirklich preiswert. (inkl. Getränke für 3 Personden € 20) Als Nachtisch gab´s vom Haus noch Kuchen und Melone. Das ist keine typische Touristenfalle. Die Größe ist eher für griechische Feierlichkeiten und nicht für Busse gedacht. Wir empfeheln Irirnis Wohnung und "das ganze drumherum" weiter!

Stunning balcony!
Stunning balcony!
Wonderful well equipped clean apartment. The large front balcony is the star attraction and where we spent all out time when at the apartment. Great comfy seating under beautiful shaded pergola. Fabulous view. It is a very lively area which is fun, though quite loud. We are used to quiet so were a bit concerned about the noise level for sleeping. The main bedroom is at the rear of the house and while you can hear a bit of sound if you have the window open it's not that bad. If you keep the window closed it's no problem at all. We both had excellent sleeps while there, comfy bed and pillows! There is a larger beautiful balcony off the bedroom and magically, the sound from the front does not travel to it at all! We probably would have hung out some of the time on the back balcony if there was more comfy seating though there is so much to do and see there is not enough time for chilling! The location of the apartment was perfect for us. Located in the old town all the best restaurants were just steps away which just makes for such a relaxing experience. It is such a charming town with a maze of delightful little streets. Absolutely loved it. Would love to come back! Thank you Irini for being sooo helpful and always there at the end of a text! And thank you also for the huge amount of helpful information you sent to us, if only we could have done everything on your list! Anastasia was wonderfully welcoming even though it was nearly midnight by the time we arrived, I would absolutely recommend this apartment, only wish we could have stayed longer!
