Stunning views and peace and quiet in this tranquil and authentic corner of Crete. Wake to the sound of sheep bells from the olive groves next door and relax in the evenings with a glass of wine watching the sunset over the White Mountains.
We have 3 self - contained and very well equipped apartments on our ridge top location. Each apartment has its own fully equipped kitchen, bathroom (power shower!) and private terraces front & rear. For your comfort, apartments have aircon, central heating and open fires. There is free Wi - Fi for that all important social networking - tell your friends what a good time you're having!
Located just on the edge of the village of Kastellos (8 churches, 106 inhabitants, 1 taverna and many hundreds of sheep & goats), it's an ideal spot for walking, cycling, birdwatching or just generally chilling out. We have several local walks and MTB rides written up for our guests and have loan copies of many guidebooks. We live here permanently, having been here for 9 years, and are happy to advise our guests of things to do, places to eat and great days out. Owners live on site.
Kastellos is approximately12km (20 mins by car) from the resort town of Rethymno and about 35 mins by car from the beaches in the south. All facilities are available approximately 4km away in the large village of Armeni (bakery, 2 supermarkets, 3 tavernas, pharmacy & filling station). Armeni is a pleasant 40 minute stroll from us through olive groves and along shepherds' tracks.
We provide a welcome pack of essentials in case of a late arrival.
2 of our apartments have twin beds, the third has a double. We can accommodate a third occupant (no extra charge) in a futon bed in 2 of the apartments. A child would be welcome.
