Why we love it

02 Breakfast of local dishes and warm pastries brought to your room
03 Infinity pool and pool bar steps from the Mediterranean
04 Owners Mike, his wife and Doris greet you personally
Book it if

Couples or solo travellers wanting a calm, small-scale beachfront base with personal, owner-run service and in-room breakfast a short walk from Rethymno old town.

Skip it if

Families with young children: children must be older than 13, and no cots or extra beds are available. Also skip if you want a large resort with restaurants.

What guests say

  • Guests repeatedly praise the family-style welcome from owners Mike and his wife and staff member Doris, describing hospitality that feels personal rather than corporate throughout their stay.
  • Reviewers single out the sea views and the modern, thoughtfully designed suites, noting how carefully the small spaces are put together.
  • Many mention the personal touches: complimentary raki, fresh fruit and treats delivered to the room, alongside an excellent breakfast and coffee.
  • Guests consistently highlight the beachfront location, with private loungers and no crowding for sunbeds thanks to the small number of suites.

The recurring gripe: Several note the walk to the old town runs longer than expected, around 15-20 minutes.

The story

The building holds only six suites, arranged for privacy along the seafront. Categories range from a Comfort Suite with its own outdoor whirlpool and sea view to a Loft Suite with direct sea views and a Superior Maisonette. Each comes with a balcony, kitchenette, air conditioning and a private bathroom. The hotel's site notes hypoallergenic and allergen-friendly pillows for sensitive sleepers, and an on-site art gallery sits alongside the poolside bar.

An outdoor infinity pool with a bar anchors the sun terrace, and beach loungers with drink and water service run down to the shore. Breakfast is served in-room: local specialities, warm dishes and fresh pastries, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Beauty services are available on request. The scale here is deliberately small, run hands-on by the owners since it opened in August 2021.

Rethymno Beach is 45 m (150 ft) away, with a 12 km sandy stretch alongside. The old town lies 1.5 mi (2.3 km) off, roughly a 15-18 minute walk, and the Archaeological Museum is 2.4 km (1.5 mi) away. Chania airport is 68 km (42 mi), Heraklion 77 km (48 mi), with an airport shuttle and free street parking. A precise, personal small hotel for beachfront calm within reach of the old town.
