Casa di Maria

Lovely characterful house in a very quiet residential neighborhood a short walk from the old town port. Lovely welcome on arrival. The house was very clean and well equipped. The garden and views were superb. Just wish we could have stayed longer.

My husband and I have stayed in many holiday homes over the last 36 years and we can honestly say that George was the best host we have ever had: thoughtful, generous, helpful and an extremely good communicator. Casa di Maria retained a delightful sense of the family history - enhanced by our meetings with George’s father who picked us the best fruit - combined with the all-important 21st century comforts and conveniences. The fruit-tree filled garden with its exquisite sea views was an absolute joy; we never tired of sitting there, whether reading, enjoying a cold drink or just gazing at the sunsets. The front terrace was perfect for shady relaxation during the day and for listening in to the evening concerts taking place at weekends in the stunning adjacent Venetian fortress. We would have liked to stay for ever.

We loved our entire experience.

Well hidden house just outside the fortress walls. Perfect private outdoor spaces to enjoy the views. George was very helpful getting us parked and settled. Easy walking distance to the harbour and old town. We only regretted not having longer here.

Back again after four years and really best place to us in Rethymno, hidden gem on the small hill beside Fortezza wall! Lovely house next to local polite residents, other side that wonderfull sea view under old olive tree and from other side terrace you can see Rethymno town. And all within walking distance. Surely we come again, thanks to you best friendly host George!

The location was brilliant and George was a fantastic host who provided some tips for the area. Nothing was too much trouble. The garden was wonderful too and our daughter loved exploring it. Everything was very comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay.

Everything about Casa Di Maria was lovely and magical. The outdoor space is even more beautiful than it looks in the pictures. It's hard to capture. Fruit trees, ocean, mountains, town lights at night. An amazing place to have a glass of wine :) George was an amazing host as well. Very attentive and informative, answering my questions promptly always. He left plenty of fruit, water, and juice as well as a lovely bottle of wine to enjoy. The parking spot that came with the property was so handy, and the location could not have been more perfect. A very short walk to the centre of the old town, but far enough away to feel quiet and removed. I can't say enough about this property and the experience we had there. Thank you George!!!!

The place is great! Wonderful value. An AMAZING VIEW! I really don't think you could beat it. Location is spectacular and the host is so friendly and responsive with great travel advice

There was only one tiny negative - the neighbors dogs barked all the time.
