Book a hotel near Arkadi Monastery, Rethymno

"The most perfect holiday rental. From the hosts generosity, to the location and beautiful property, it was idyllic. "

"Absolutely magical with an outstanding restaurant (Elaia) and staff. The beauty of the architecture and property have to be experienced first hand. Highly recommend the wine tasting & cooking experiences offered. "

"House was beautiful and had everything we needed! Our host was great- attentive but not too much. She even made us some lovely bracelets :) Highly recommend this place and we hope to be back!"

"Fantastic location Host very helpful and respond immediately to any queries Villa was excellent with a great pool and facilities Could not fault anything regarding the villa only wished we had longer there "

"This modern villa is spotlessly clean throughout with panoramic views in every direction. Even from inside the Villa the view through the windows changes each day like a living painting. It’s spectacular. The grounds are completely enclosed and child friendly with plenty of space for kids to play and adults to chill. The gardens are very well maintained and watered, if you’re from the UK think of a national trust garden with Mediterranean plants. It is also very well lit in the evenings with the BBQ dining area overlooking the top half of Crete (not exaggerating) being one of the gardens hi-lights.The Villa feels secluded in it’s own hillside setting but is at most a 7 minute drive back down to shops, bars, restaurants and the beach. So on those sweltering afternoons where the heat of the coast is getting too much, in 10 minutes you can be in your own gorgeous pool with a mountain breeze. Perfect!Eleni deserves her own 5* review but I’m running out of space! A flawless host who is kind, caring, quick to respond to any messages and super friendly. Thank you Eleni! There are no downsides, the beds are comfy, the pool is sparkling, the garden is stunning, the water pressure is great, the wifi is fast, I could go on and on.Stop searching now and book this place, you wont regret it and you’ll never want to leave.Thank you so much! From Jim and family-UK"
