Holiday houses in Palaiokastro

Great location. Close to everything (less than 10 min. walk to buses, port, etc...). The balcony is great and the apartment is well equipped. When we arrived, we had food and the sofa bed had been prepared for the third person. Communication had Giorgos was very effective. On the other hand, the kitchen chairs (made of metal and noisy when we were moving them) were not comfortable, and the mattresses were okay, but nothing more. We enjoyed this place.

A really great apartment, super close to the beach (aprox 50m), close to supermarkets, restaurants, bars. Everything you need is a few min away. The apartment was delivered super clean, in the fridge I had a cold bottle of water and a bottle of apple juice, fruits on the table and butter&honey. Christos was very proactive, I locked myself out of the apartment (closed the door with the key inside 🤦🏻), I wrote him on airbnb and he was there in 10 min to help me out. Overall, a great place to stay in Rethymno and a super host !!!

It has been a pleasure to stay in one of the villas and we were lucky enough to take a swim in the pool in late October. The villa comes with a beautiful view over Plaka Bay and has a well equipped kitchen, lovely interior and an outdoor barbecue place. There are 3 other villas nearby but there is still enough space and privacy to enjoy a fantastic vacation. grocery stores, bakery and restaurants about 10 minutes away…. George was an amazing host, has a lot of advices where to go and responded to all of our questions immediately…..

We had a great time in Crete! The flat was spotless, clean, and as described. The pool was exactly as pictured, very pleasant and well maintained. Dimitrios is an exceptional host: available, responsive and very friendly. Thanks again for our stay, we'll be back with pleasure! I recommend it!

Super nice place in a quiet village. Beds are very comfortable and the amenities were spotless. Garden and pool are also great!

Villa Myrtia was a beautiful villa that was very spacious for our family of six. Terrific swimming pool. Awesome restaurant called Souvlakia in the town center. George was extremely responsive and very friendly.

We were two families with two children and spend a week in Lena’s house. The villa is specious and comfortable. Pool was nice and clean. The house is in a remote location so you do need a car for everything, but you are in a less touristy and quiet spot of Crete and you can reach most of the top attractions within an hour drive. It’s about 15min drive to the nearest beach and 45min to Rhetymno town. It’s also easy to go to the mountains.

We had a super time with Stefani and Antonis. The villa is super, the pool was warm, the area quiet, and the view down to Herssonios and out right to the mountains was lovely. We chose it because it was walking distance to some shops and restaurants. The village is lovely and a short 5-10min walk from the villa. We were at the very end of the season, so many of the restaurants in the village closed, but we always found somewhere to eat. Herssonios is a longer walk away (maybe 30 mins) and has supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants galore, even after the season ended. We found the walk downhill to the town, and back uphill to the village fine, even with 2 kids. Herssonios itself didn’t hold much charm for us, but we found a taxi to Agios Nikolas (delightful), Heraklion’s museum (more engaging for us than the Athens archeological museum), and Rethimno (lovely old town, laneway cafes, long stretch of beach) filled enough of our days. And with a heated pool to return to, no complaints.
