Top Hotels Near Ancient Lappa in Rethymno from NZ$126

"We had an absolutely wonderful two-week stay at this home! It is perfectly located between Chania and Rethymno, making it easy to explore both cities while enjoying the peacefulness & privacy of the countryside. 2 nearby markets made grocery shopping convenient, and we found incredible restaurants in the area—Hasika in Rethymno was our favorite, with the best Greek salad & bougatsa of our trip!What truly set this VRBO apart was our host, Melina. She warmly greeted us upon arrival and gave us a thorough walkthrough. Not only did she make us feel welcome, but she also prepared a delicious homemade Greek meal, a bottle of wine and her own Raki. Her friendly advice and attentive hospitality throughout our stay made all the difference.The house itself was spotless, with comfortable beds and luxurious bedding. Great A/C & heat. The kitchen & outdoor firepit were well-equipped, making it easy to cook & enjoy meals at home. We visited several stunning beaches, including Elafonisi & Preveli but Episkopi just three minutes from the house was the best! We loved having the best of both worlds—tranquility among the olive & lemon trees while still being close to restaurants & shopping. The outdoor spaces were a highlight; we spent many hours on the beautiful covered patio, balconies to stargaze and both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces added a cozy touch.We are so glad we chose Crete for our March vacation—it was the perfect getaway, and this home made it truly unforgettable.

"We stayed at Villa Fouli for three weeks in July/August. The hosts were very accommodating, friendly and kept the place very clean. Location was just a bit further out than I had expected but accommodations great. I would definitely recommend! My son really enjoyed the pool also very clean. Just a short 15 minute drive o Rethymno. "

"We had a wonderful ten day stay here, it is a uniquely beautiful place and we would love to come back in the future. The pool is absolutely beautiful with stunning views over the mountains. The living areas are exceptionally clean and renovated to a high standard while respecting the history of the building. It is beautifully preserved and very comfortable. The rubber tree in the courtyard gives shade during the day and is lovely to sit under to eat / play games. The two bedrooms are split across the courtyard and this was perfect for us as a family with teenage children, everyone had their space. The village is authentic Crete and there are plenty of places to eat in the mountains or down along the seafront. Beaches are also in easy reach as well as the lake where the terapins were a hit with our children. Didier is a respectful and friendly host, on hand for any questions or advice on the area but very unobtrusive. His cats and 2 dogs are very well behaved and nice to have around. We visited 6 beaches during our stay, all beautiful and great for snorkeling. It was a perfect break, really sad to leave! "

"Lovely property, really friendly host who was always on hand to help and offer advice. Lovely pool and view. Well maintained property and easy to find. You would definitely require a car to get around. Buses do run but we found it much easier to have a car for getting to and from beaches and restaurants etc."
