Uniquely designed detached house with Venetian flair in the old town of Rethymno

This enchanting detached house in the historic old town of Rethymno combines modern living comfort with traditional neoclassical style across 180 m². The renovated residence extends over two levels and is situated on a 100 m² plot in the immediate vicinity of the famous Fortezza fortress. The careful renovation in 2004 preserved original Venetian architectural details such as majestic stone arches on the ground floor, wood panelling on the ceilings and walls, and finely crafted marble floors, creating a tasteful ambience.

On the ground floor, a spacious hallway leads directly into a large living and dining room with a large stone fireplace – an ideal place for cosy evenings with family and friends. Adjacent to this is a modern kitchen, complemented by practical rooms such as a WC, storage room and laundry room. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where there are three comfortable bedrooms – two of which are on two levels – and an inviting bathroom equipped with a luxurious hydromassage cabin.

The multi-level terraces offer spectacular views of the Fortezza fortress and the charming, winding cobbled streets of Rethymno's old town – the perfect retreat for relaxing hours outdoors. The property will be handed over fully furnished and equipped and is suitable both as a permanent residence and as stylish tourist accommodation, given the strong demand for accommodation in the heart of Rethymno.

Rethymno, the third largest city in Crete, attracts numerous visitors with its unparalleled combination of Byzantine heritage, Renaissance architecture and vibrant life. This house not only offers exceptional quality of living, but also direct access to a culturally rich, lively environment. More than just a home – a piece of Cretan history and way of life awaits you here.

The property is located in the heart of the historic old town of Rethymno, one of the most impressive cities in Crete with a rich cultural heritage and Mediterranean lifestyle. In just a few minutes' walk, you can reach the famous Fortezza fortress, which is a popular destination with its impressive views of the city and the sea. The nearby old town delights visitors with its Venetian alleys, the characteristic Venetian harbour with its historic lighthouse, and numerous sights such as the 17th-century Rimondi Fountain and the Church of San Francesco.

Crete's coastline beckons in the immediate vicinity with beautiful beaches such as Episkopi Beach, Pentadaktylos and Preveli, which offer ideal conditions for sun worshippers and water sports enthusiasts alike. The varied landscape around Rethymno is perfect for walks, bike rides and hikes, some of which lead through idyllic villages and olive groves. Numerous traditional tavernas and cafés serve regional specialities such as fresh fish and unique Cretan cuisine, ensuring culinary delights.

The infrastructure is very well developed, with shops for daily needs, attractive restaurants and medical facilities, including a local hospital. The airports in Heraklion and Chania are about an hour's drive away, and the ferry port of Rethymno provides connections to the Greek islands and the mainland.
