Suite with Private Pool Swim Up (Ground floor) | 45m2

Set over two levels, this 45m² suite pairs old-world character with present-day comfort. A stone washbasin, original Turkish lock and open closet nod to the building's heritage, while the queen-size bed, flat-screen TV and individually controlled air conditioning keep things current. The fireplace gives the living area a calm, unhurried feel once the sun goes down.

Outside, the private heated pool opens directly onto the terrace, with a side sea view and pool towels supplied for guests who want to stay put for the afternoon. A sofa bed in the sitting area suits a third guest, and the mini-bar, coffee facilities and in-room safe cover the practical side of things without any fuss.

Rethymno itself is a short walk from the suite: the Venetian old town has a working harbor lined with tavernas and fishing boats, the Fortezza fortress standing watch above it, and the 1626 Rimondi Fountain marking the old center at Platanos Square.
