Description
SOFIA'S HOUSE
Lovely 2 bedroom traditional house in the old town of Rethymnon that can sleep up to 5 or 6 people
Sofia's house is a two-level venetian building (125 square meters) of traditional architecture, built in the 1600s. It was renovated with great inspiration and respect, preserving its original look. The stone walls and the wooden ceilings were kept as they originally were, in order to offer you the real sensation of living in a traditional Cretan style home.
The whole house consists of 2 bedrooms, (the first with a double bed and the second with 2 single beds), 1 bathroom with shower, 1 WC, a fully equipped kitchen and a sitting room with a sofa-bed. It can sleep up to 5 or 6 persons. The house has a big veranda and a small balcony on the first floor, a main kitchen area and a private yard on the ground level.
It offers all kinds of facilities, a/c, satellite TV, 2 TV sets, DVD player, fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, washing-machine, iron, iron board, hair dryer etc. We can provide a full sized cot at no charge upon request. Most of the house's furniture is traditional. Very tastefully decorated and fully equipped for your holiday needs, suitable for couples or families, with or without children. A real 'Home for Home feel!!!
The house is in a convenient location, in the heart of the old town of Rethymnon, with easy access to the main sandy beach of Rethymnon, as well as to many facilities. The local high street is just a 3 min walk, with easy access to many restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets and banks. The bus station is only a 5 min walk away.
We, the owners, are always available and can help with car hire bookings, advice on places to go and see, beaches to find and restaurants to visit. Our goal is to make each and everyone of you feel like 'home' and to make your stay a wonderful unique memory!
