Rethymno Hotel Guide - beach near Petres hotels in Rethymno, Greece.

"The host was so great and patient with us. We got lost and they went to meet us at a local store to bring us the rest of the way, despite it being their Good Friday. The home was beautiful with amazing views. The rooms were spacious, all with baloconies. It was so nice that each couple had their own bathroom. The host was there when we needed supplies. Gorgeous home and nice location!"

"We had a great stay at this villa. We had unfortunate weather with a sand storm and hail, but we were lucky the villa was so nice inside. I would recommend checking the weather before you lay for the pool to be heated however as we wasted 300 on this as we couldn’t use the pool in the storm and sand ended up everywhere, not the owners fault but a real waste of money. We swam once on the first day. The villa was clean and well equipped. We cooked, watched Netflix and used the futsal table a lot. The location is perfect, the view is wonderful and we loved Crete. The host was very kind. Thanks "

"A very nice holiday; the stay in the house was excellent. The accommodation was as described, and the garden was beautifully landscaped."

"Wonderful location in a quiet and pleasant part of the island. Joanna was great with her communication and hospitality. The villa is clean and tidy with plenty of equipment needed for a stay. There are plenty of beach options nearby and the city is easy to reach where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The pool at the villa is lovely, private and clean. The equipment provided around the pool is great quality. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms have great views down to the sea. The kitchen has plenty of equipment that is needed for a stay and the living area is nicely laid out. Outside there are plenty of places to sit and eat and a garden to explore. Highly recommended for those who want to get away from it all, but want to be close enough to civilisation when needed. "

"Fantastic sea view. Some staff poorly trained and unfriendly. Had to switch rooms 2 more times for two night stay after checkin due to party noise and clogged shower drain. Parking is in limited supply and in areas needing some walk from room. Buffet breakfast and dinner quality is average. Non smoking is not enforced in restaurant subjecting non smoker quests including babys to smoke."

"My family's stay at the cottage was wonderful. The home was spacious, clean and mostly comfortable (although the beds were a little bit too firm for my family). The mountain and sea views were fantastic! Herbert was a kind and gracious host and was always available in case we had any concerns. He was delightful to talk to and he has a wealth of knowledge about the area. Although we were on a pre-planned schedule, he was always willing to offer a tour of surrounding areas. All in all, the stay was marvelous and we'd recommend staying there to anyone spending their holiday on Crete!"

"We stayed here in mid September… Absolutely brilliant.Giorgos deserves his SuperHost award. We celebrated here with all 11 bedrooms used! Everyone had their own bathrooms,.. if not an ensuite, then a main bathroom for the upper levels. Only the two apartments had shared bathrooms between two bedrooms. But a plunge in the pool or shower at different times was easy enough. The external caterers, coordinated by Giorgos for our one-night special event were also brilliant. Very professional - exceptional fresh food. Very accommodating. Any hiccups along the way were minor and were sorted IMMEDIATELY by Giorgio or Paris who met us onsite with the keys. Nothing was too much. The location was only a short walk to Gerani - a lovely welcoming village with everything you needed. Cafe Kapou were open every day for our daily morning Freddo expresso, cappuccino or Greek coffee. And the bakery across the road was a must … every day! Walk to Gerani beach, also fabulous. The day we stayed at the villa allowed us to enjoy all the facilities: swimming pool, snooker table, air hockey, gymnasium, outdoor BBQ and wood oven. What can I say. We even watched a Netflix movie on one of the nights!! "

"We had truly amazing time in Pietra di Mare! Stunning location, great facility. Andreas and his family that owns the place were very nice, we had a little car issue and they were very kind to help us out. We felt very welcomed and at peace. Definitely would come back there next time we are in Crete!"

"Wow! This place is heaven! The views and the peace and quiet. The pool is fabulous and the grounds and apartments are spotless.They are fully equipped with everything you need and are really comfortable. The shower is great and the air conditioning is perfect. Although you dont need it through the day as it is lovely and cool in the apartment. Celine who takes care of the place is such a kind and caring lady. She is very discreet yet will do all she can to help if needed shes fab! I was welcomed with water, juice and Raki :) The beach is just at the bottom of the hill and goes for miles with beach bars galore and the food is great. There is a supermarket 2 mins in the car up the road. You will need a car to travel here. The people that I spoke to come back year after year. Everyone needs to come here! Its perfect! "
