You’ll be within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants if you want to explore – and a 15-minute bus ride from Rethymnon.This place is a modern, low-rise number surrounded by flowering plants.
Inside, pale lemon walls are brightened up by pretty murals and colourful sofas.
Bedrooms are dressed in soft, creamy tones, and kitted out with air-conditioning and TVs.
What’s more, all rooms come with a balcony or terrace.Pool lovers are looked after with a zig-zag-shaped number, as well as a separate pool just for the little ones.
If that’s not enough, there’s a Blue Flag beach just steps from the hotel.
