The hosts are really kind, warm and helpful. The accommodation is as shown in the photos. However, if you are sensitive to noise, this coliving may not be the best option for you. After the first night, we had to change apartments due to a very loud construction site only 3 meters away from our bed within the residence. Even after that, our nights were short due to the village youth gathering every evening just across (20 meters away) and revving their mopeds around the church until 1 am. In the courtyard, there is a fountain running all night long and on Sundays and holidays, ear-piercing church bells ring loudly for what feels like half an eternity (20 meters away). Of course, this is not something that can be controlled by the host but perhaps they should not advertise it as quiet or maybe have a conversation with the village youth. We ended up leaving earlier because of this but it could also just be personal oversensitivity. The cleanliness was okay - walking around barefoot on the rooftop terrace left us with black feet and there was a strange smell of cheese in the pool area. There were cobwebs in corners and seat cushions were quite greasy especially since they were constantly occupied by two rather unkempt cats. The furniture was mostly old and worn out. Overall, we have stayed at much more modern and beautiful accommodations on Crete for less money (comparing average price per night).
A Beautiful place which is owned by a beautiful family!
This was the highlight of my trip to Crete! The owners treat you like family and are so kind! All of the rooms are different and unique. It has a lovely rooftop for BBQs, exercising, or just hanging out. The pool was great for the hot afternoons. It was also nice to have a communal kitchen in the basement. All of the rooms had wifi, but it got slower in the evenings. However, it was always great in the basement, which has lots of tables to work from.
I stayed here for a night because we had a wedding to attend nearby, but I would definitely book again on another visit to Rathymno! It's family-run, very cozy, extremely clean, and comfortable. Highly recommend a stay for a couple or a family. The pictures online don't do justice to how meticulously designed it is. The outdoor space felt like a small oasis with a pool and lots of greenery.
Modern but also a traditional coliving place with an excellent service. Recommend it.
We had a fantastic stay as a family in a unique place with well-maintained apartments and tasteful decor. The host is very pleasant. I highly recommend it. The location is just a 5-minute drive from the city.
We stayed, as a couple, for 2 weeks, working remotely. The wifi is, as promised, the best experienced in Crete. The place is an old complex restored as modern studios and apartments, ideal for a peaceful stay in the village and only 10 minutes by bus from Rethymno. The hosts are very nice and took great care of us. The complex is clean and neat, filled with open shared areas where to sit and relax or work. Would definitely try to come back in the warm season to enjoy longer the terraces and the swimming pool. If you like the village life, Atsipopoulo is a pretty one with great bakeries (one next door) and one of the best traditional tavernas we found in Crete. Will come back!
I had a wonderful stay at this coliving space. The accommodation was beautiful and tastefully decorated. Rooms were clean, quiet, and the beds comfortable. Cooking utensils were available, which was very handy. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. Conveniently, there's a bakery, a kebab place, and a supermarket nearby. I highly recommend it without any reservations.
Amazing stay in a smaller town just outside of Rethymno. Perfect cute very local spots right outside the coliving for coffee, small supermarket, etc. The coliving itself is run by the perfect hosts, Manolis was amazing & the hosts were so kind & welcoming. I loved their place so much I returned & extended my stay there for 1 month after I had an unfortunate circumstance happen while staying at another place in Crete! The overall property is set up as a great way to meet other folks but still have a lot of privacy & the apartment itself was extremely clean, well-equipped, comfortable, the main terrace was beautiful for sunsets, tanning, etc. & overall it felt like such a comfortable oasis & relaxing stay. You really do get a nice small Greek village feel with some cute tavernas just a few minutes walk away where you can have dinner outside of a beautiful church (the church bells are loud on Sundays but I actually enjoyed it very much haha). Would absolutely stay again and recommend it to others.
Beautiful place, awesome host, great apartments. I stayed for a month and worked remotely almost the entire time. The pool is just great, especially after a few hours of meetings. There are multiple gardens where one can sit and read, or work. The hosts are fantastic, just really great people. Highly recommend it to everybody.
