Right in the centre of Rethymno Town, Philikon Luxury Suites has inner courtyard views from the patio. It is situated 1.5 km from Rethymno Beach and offers luggage storage space. The guest house features garden views, a sun terrace, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. This suite is one of the perfect and pleasant one in all my trips to Greece. The place was very thoughtfully decorated with elegant decor and lighting style. It really like home, even though for one day. We wanted to prolong our stay at Philikon, Rethymno, however it was a short trip this time. We are planning to stay for a longer duration on our next visit! I wanna thank the host from the bottom of my heart! Until next time!

Situated within less than 1 km of Rapaniana Beach and 13 km of Platanias Square, Sclopa The Laography Project features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Kolymvari. A hot tub and a bicycle rental service are available for guests. Set in a historic building, the property has a year-round outdoor pool and is located 13 km from Agios Dimitrios Church. I'm not the type of person who usually gives a 10. There's always room for improvement, after all! But here, I can't think of anything which could have been better. - Stelios is the best host you can dream of. He will make you feel you're staying at a friend's. He is also an excellent advisor for the region - The house is just magnificient. Perfectly renovated in the best taste. Every tiny detail has been thought to be genuine. There are only 5 apartments, so the location remains very intimitate - The location is just perfect, so quiet in the heights of a small village, far from the buzz of the main towns, yet very accessible by car

The units are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a fridge, a coffee machine, a walk-in shower, bathrobes and a desk. Featuring a private bathroom, units at the homestay also offer free WiFi. At the homestay, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. I'm not usually one for writing reviews—let alone one that sounds like a travel blog—but I’ve got the time, and something about this place just gets under your skin. This is my second time staying at Agia Fotia, and I didn’t think it was possible to enjoy it more than the first—but I have. It’s a small, family-run taverna in a quiet, out-of-the-way spot, and that’s exactly what makes it special. There’s no big show here. Just real people, running a place with heart. The food is excellent. We tried a different dish every day, and each one hit the mark. Nothing fussy—just good, honest cooking that makes you want to slow down and enjoy it properly. If you’re looking for a place to stay while racing around sightseeing, this probably isn’t it. But if you want to switch off, swim in warm sea water, snorkel around some beautiful rocks, and lose track of time, then this is exactly the right place. Bring sea shoes—the beach is rocky—and don’t bother with anything fancy. It’s a slops-and-T-shirt kind of place. A small tip (literally): staff appreciate cash tips, since the new Greek laws mean card tips are taxed. They work hard and make you feel genuinely welcome, so keep that in mind. Part of me hesitates to even write this—I'd rather not have too many people discover it. But the family deserve every bit of success. They’ve put a lot into this place, and it shows. I’ll definitely be back, probably more often than I should. Come for the peace and quiet. Stay for the food, the sea, and the kind of hospitality that’s getting harder to find these days.
