Description

Amarandos villa: Your holiday home!

Placed at Roussospiti, a traditional village only 6 km from Rethimno, Amarandos Rethimno Villa is a cozy and hospitable place, ready to accommodate all your needs for a tranquil and relaxing stay.

The villa consists of two separate fully furnished 110 m2 apartments that are rented together as one and can accommodate up to 14 people.

Each level has 3 bedrooms (one with a double bed and two with twin beds - linen and towels available), a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, microwave oven, toaster, coffe-machine, kettle), living-room, bathroom and WC and wide balconies with a fantastic view of the sea. All other electrical appliances that will make your stay pleasant and easy (such as air-condition, TV set, CD player, DVD player, playstation 2 console, washing machine, iron, blow-drier) are also available.

Outside, there is a comfortably arranged swimming-pool area with BBQ facilities and outdoor dining furniture, where you can enjoy your meals. It has an amazing 41m2 private pool, 1.80m deep with sun beds and umbrellas to relax and enjoy the greek sun. Near the swimming-pool there is an outdoor shower. BBQ facilities are also provided at the front yard of the villa.

Furthermore:

- Fully air-conditioned

- Two parking spaces at the villa premises

- Bed linen, bath and pool towels provided

- Books for those who enjoy reading

- Cooking utensils and first aid kit

- Baby cots and baby/small children related furniture (upon request)

- Free internet (WiFi)

- Animals welcome upon arrangement

The villa was built in 1995 by the family of the owners. It was in 2001, after a complete renovation – always with great respect to the natural beauties and attractions of Roussospiti village, that the villa was first used to lodge visitors and tourists. It was the caring and hospitable father of the family, Yannis, who had it going for a two-year period under the name “Villa Dina-Irini”. Due to personal reasons and despite the its overall successful course, the operation was for some time closed.

It is the family of Eirini who decided to renovate once again and re-open the premises. Its new name, “Amarandos”, refers to amaranth or sempre viva, the flower of the everlasting blossom.

Roussospiti is located near Rethymno, at an altitude of 400m. The view from the verandas is truly breathtaking. It’s not for nothing that the whole village is known as “the balcony of Rethymno”. Stretching ahead lies the cretan sea; towering behind is the mountain Vrysinas. Rethymno lies at the very centre of Crete, with an easy access to all places of the island.

The nearest beach is about 6 km away in Perivolia Rethimno. It is a long sandy organized beach with umbrellas and sun beds. Water sports are available in the summer months. There are other also many beaches around that you can visit.

Renting a car is essential.

We’d be very glad to welcome you and make your stay unforgettable!

“Lovely house suited our big family perfectly”

Reviewed 7 Sep 2018

We stayed for nine days with our extended family of nine at Amarandos and enjoyed it very much. Rythymnon is a mere bus drive away (and the buses in Crete are fab - the bus stations are clean, the staff friendly and the buses on time). The house is a short car drive from Rythymnon. There are good views and the house was clean and had everything we required. The pool was very much enjoyed by six children as well as the adults. We tried out two of the tavernas (Mylonas and alondis?) Both had good views and we had nice meals. We also went to Knossos, the inland lake kournas and a winery nearby, Bali beach and a beach on the way to georgapoli amoung other things. Thanks to Erini and family and the manager, Emmanuel and wife for the friendly welcome and assistance.
