A short drive out of Rethymno into the hills behind the town will bring you to the small village of Atsipopoulo, where this lovely group of 10 apartments and 4 studios have been built, next to an old venetian house and a beautiful church.
The apartments are mostly arranged over two floors with a nice spiral staircase connecting the floors, and are decorated with colorful prints on the wall, wicker furniture, cosy soft furnishings and pretty pieces of traditional Cretan pottery are scattered artfully about and with air-conditioning the interiors are light and airy.
Breakfast,at extra charge, a buffet of cheese, olives, fruits, bread, honey, homemade jam and much more, is served in a lovely, bright air-conditioned room which is reached down steps leading off from the reception.
The tiled courtyard is filled with trees, flowers and an inviting swimming pool in the centre, with deckchairs arranged around it.
There is also a communal roof terrace, shaded with vine, where you can take in the vista over the rooftops of the village and countryside to the sea below.
Atsipopoulo has three local tavernas within walking distance, and one which is just 50 m away. They will deliver food on request. There is also a mini-market in the village for basic supplies.
Typical small landhouses,with 2 yards like it has been tradition, restaurated with a lot of knowledge and very well equiped,with a pool in one of the yards, in the real + typical village, 5 km up from the small town of Rethymnon. Here you will find studios for up to 3 guests and apartments like a maisonette for 2 – 4 people.Aircondition,safe + SAT TV is included in the rates.In the near village center there are taverns,the Cretan like to go,small shops, baker and the busstop with a lot of connections into the town.Anyway for to discover Crete,we suggest to rent a car too, the next beaches are like the town in 5 km,but there are a lot of others and a lot of trips on Crete are possible. |
