OUR REVIEW
Kastellos is an old village which stands elevated above the north coast near Lake Kournas (where there are several tavernas). It is accessible to Rethymno and Chania and sits in an area with many trees and much greenery.
The long expanses of north coast beaches are but
a ten minute drive away.
Kastellos Village is truly a "traditional house" dating from 1910 and having one of the oldest olive trees in its garden as guest, accompanied by apple, apricot, pear and orange trees. Terracotta tiled roof with stone and plaster walls. The house provides two distinct apartments - both have the atmosphere of a place in the Cretan countryside that tempts one to consider staying forever. Decor is traditional with exposed wood roof beams and stonework; furnishing is in sympathy with the house and surroundings.
Terraces and gardens with views of dreamlike countryside and the sea in the background and the mature gardens give ample opportunity to sit and read, dream, chat or just enjoy the views and calm.
It is very likely (but not certain yet) that in spring 2009, Kastellos will also have a swimming pool (shared between the 3 houses).
The pool will be full/usable in the summer months
(April to October).
The location is very suited to exploration of
this part of Crete from Rethymno to Chania, the white mountains and beyond, not to forget numerous small
villages which are the soul of Crete.

We liked the house so much that I was ready to make an offer to buy it. The only minor challenge was a neighborhood dog that continued to bark most of the night (the roosters were OK but the dog was too much). Service was great, Yannis himself was great. We'd have no problem recommending the same visit to others.RATES 2009 (rates include our Superb, All-questions-answered Personal service)
