Stelios Penthouse

The whole experience was overall excellent and memorable. The house made us feel at home away from home. What we liked mostly is that we did not feel that we were in a touristic environment.

The inner room's beds were a bit challenging, not very comfortable.

Wow what an amazing place. The apartment was spotlessly clean,very spacious, comfortable & modern. Stelios was an excellent host & nothing was too much trouble. We arrived very late & he came over to greet us & show us around the apartment making sure we were happy with everything. He had left a lovely welcome pack of food & drink & supplied many other extras which meant a lot. The view from either Terrace is amazing day & night with views right across to the venetian port with its orange glow on top of the castle. The walk down to the old port takes about 25 mins but you can reach nearest shops in 10 mins downhill. Don't be put off by the hill as taxis back are around 5-6 euros if you don't fancy the walk up. All in all perfect. Stelios came over to say goodbye and ask us about our trip and if we had had any concerns or problems a genuine lovely man. 10 out 10

There was nothing we could fault a wonderful holiday.

This summer we stayed with Stelios for the second time, and the apartment is just as gorgeous as a couple years ago (you can also see my previous review so as not to repeat myself). It is quite centrally located, very spacious and extremely comfortable with an absolutely lovely terrace where you can watch the see and the sunsets. It has everything you may ever need in your stay. Stelios is an exceptional host always providing perfect care for us.

Well, not that it is something that can or needs to be fixed, but just as a note - the apartment is located on the mountain, so the walk up can be somewhat tiresome especially in the heat, we would typically drive down, leave the car and walk, and then collect the car on the way back and drive up.

The accommodation fully lived up to the lovely photos. It was very well equipped and comfortable. The location was perfect - above the town, giving amazing views, but easy walking to shops, beaches and all Rethymno attractions. We didn't want to hire a car, although there was private parking, and this location fully met our needs. Stelios was the perfect host - friendly, informative and easily contactable if we had any questions. I would definitely stay again.
