Excellent price

Located in a competitive area, it is an excellent alternative to low budget. The beach is just at the end of the street and many restaurant on the orther side of the street. Facilities to cook in the studio, air conditionning and private outdoor space beside the pool.. The tenant was very kind, smiling and flexible.

Family run nice hotel.

Pro: - Clean and cozy room - Quiet place. Many good restaurants, supermarket and beach are very close. - Well maintained swimming pool, deep enough to dive. (-the deepest spot will be about 3 meters) - Kind and helpful host family Cons: - Unreachable distance by foot from the center of Rethymno (more than 10km away) - Too much chemical smell from the pool.

Struttura in posizione ottima, vicinissima alla strada principale con tutti i servizi ( bar, ristoranti, supermarket) ma comunque tranquilla e silenziosa. La famiglia che la gestisce è molto gentile e disponibile. La piscina è piccola ma ottima per i pomeriggi caldi
