Moshoviti Residence

Moshoviti Residence sits within the protected old quarter of Rethymno, where Venetian and Turkish influences shape the streetscape around the Fortezza and the Rimondi Fountain. The house itself has been carefully restored, pairing stone and timber with contemporary furnishings throughout. Three bedrooms each come with a queen bed and private en-suite bathroom, and one includes a sofa bed for extra flexibility, making the layout suited to families or groups who want their own space. A fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and Nespresso machine, plus a proper dining table, means meals at home are easy after a day spent wandering the Old Town's narrow lanes and small squares. The standout feature is the large private patio, a quiet spot for outdoor dining or simply sitting out in the evening air, helped along by a fireplace inside for cooler nights. Markou Portaliou Street, lined with grocery stores, bakeries and cafés, is close by, and the Old Town's restaurants are within easy reach on foot, including Pigadi, serving Cretan specialties since 2003 in a 16th-century Venetian building, and To Katsarolaki, a locals' favorite on Markou Portaliou Street itself. The city beach begins a five-minute walk from the eastern edge of the Old Town, putting swimming within easy reach without a car.
