Apartment Michael Apartments

Afstralon Polemiston 18, Rethymno Town, 74100, Greece –

The hosts were absolutely great, very helpful and caring

Elena, Russia

This is a really good family run property that is fantastic value for money. The hosts could not have been friendiler or more hospitable leaving fresh eggs every morning and raki! It is a 2 minute walk to the beach and although the old town is a 25 to 30 minute walk it was an enjoyable walk and a taxi is only 5 euro. This was my 3rd visit to Crete and by far my most enjoyable. I have been to over 20 Greek islands and would definately go back. Thank you for a really enjoyable time

John, Cyprus

The hosts were the most friendly and helpful people I have ever met. A little extra's (as in fresh eggs and grapes) were nice. Very close to the beach, taxi and bus station, also the supermarkets were very close. Very good tavernas across the street.

Anu, Estonia

Kindness of the owners, location at 2 mn to foot from the beach

Pierre-alain, Switzerland

A cool and calm retreat tucked away just seconds from the beach at Rethymno. It was always a pleasure to turn the corner into the quiet shaded courtyard over which the apartments look. The proprietors were solicitous and generous, asking after our adventures daily and providing us with fresh eggs (for us to cook) from their farm up the hill each morning.

Frank, United States of America

The hosts were very friendly and helpful, the apartments were clean and had all the necessary equipment. It’s located on a lovely street with some small restaurants and is very close to the beach.

Ines, Netherlands

Great location, not to busy but enough shops and taverna’s and nice beach. Nice 25 minute walk along the beach promenade and you’ll be in the city centre. The owners are such friendly people and very helpful. Definitely recommend Michaels apartment.

Annekee, Netherlands

The best apartments I ever stayed at! Perfect location – 150 meters from an expansive sandy Blue Flag beach and close - about a 30 minute walk along the beach promenade - to the historic center of Rethymno with many shops, bars, restaurants, Greek tavernas and cafés. The rooms are very cosy with comfortable beds/TV/fridge/air conditioner/cooking, tea and coffee facilities and they are cleaned very well on a daily basis. The owners are exceptionally lovely, friendly and helpful people! When arriving we were very warmly welcomed and were perfectly looked after during our stay being provided with everything we needed. The house and the grounds are very well kept – so much love has been put into creating this beautiful environment! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Michael Apartments and the only way I can describe this place is the trip of a life time! Would highly recommend to anyone.

“Great value for money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Studio (2 Adults)
- • Stayed 9 nights
Nothing. It would be nice to have a fan in room - we don't like to use aircon and fans are normally cheap and convenient. Fair to say we rarely find fans in hotels / apartments in Southern Europe, not sure why.
Stayed fpr 9 nights in August. No problem with check-in at 9 pm. Hosts are wonderful people living on site so can be approached at any time. Booked studio "overlooking the garden" (well, in reality it was more about the wall on neighbouring hotel, but at sufficient distance). Apartments are located on side street but just 1-2 min by feet to the sea. Rethymno downtown is about 30 min away by feet (nice promenade by the beach) or just 5 euro from taxi stand which is 200 meters from the apartment. Lots of places to eat and few supermarkets around. Much less people in the sea compared to areas closer to downtown. Not noisy at night (music in hotel next doors stops at 11 pm). Room simple but clean and in good condition. Rather big balcony. In-room safe (key locked). Stable wifi. Kitchen ok equipped. No problems with hot water. No insect issues - zero mosquitoes. Bed(s) comfortable though they have 2 separate linked while king size would be more suitable for a couple. Daily cleaning (except Sundays). Never used aircon or TV. Booking was made based on rating and price/quality ratio and overall our stay exceeded our expectations. In peak season you would have to pay nearly double to have a seaview (which also means busy road view) or to stay closer to downtown in some other hotel/apartment which in my view doesn't worth it. Would definitely stay in Michael Apartments again if decide to come back to Crete.

“Great vacation, the best hosts”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Studio (2 Adults)
- • Stayed 14 nights
Staying there was great. The hosts made us feel welcomed and did their best to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. We were staying at the studio apartments, quite enough space for two people. There is evetrything that you need and if you miss something, you can always ask the hosts and they will be glad to help. The air conditioning works perfectly fine, small kitchen is well-equiped for cooking and also there is a balcony right under the lemon and pomegranate trees. You can use safe in the room which is quite convenient. The cleaning was everyday except Sundays, Zacharenia had no problem at all to come later when we were not ready and sometimes we did not even know when she came because she was trying to recognize our routine and come when she is not disturbing us. Much appreciated, though talking to her was always a pleasure! We also got some surprise and pleasant presents as home-made olive oil and raki, once we have found home-made waffles at our table. If we needed advice, the hosts were always there to help in any situation. The apartments are located around 30 minutes walking from the city centre but that was an advantage for us as the beach was not too crowded there and quite a lot of good restaurants with reasonable prices are located around. Although a good walk to the city centre alongside the beach is not at all tiring. If it is for you, quite close to the apartments there is a bus stop and a taxi station. A lot of shops and restaurants around, you can always find a place to eat. We had perfect vacation at Michael Apartments and we totally recommend going there. Thank you very much, Michalis and Zacharenia, we wish you all the best and we will probably come back one day.

Very cozy studio located right at the end of the sea shore, so you can have a really amazing walk to Rethymno city - about 30-minute walk. Big supermarkets nearby - 5-10 minute walk. Very friendly owners always ready to help. Beautiful small garden with pomegranate and lime trees. 2-minute walk to a good beach. Good tavernas right near the house.

“Upper class Greek style appartment”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • One-Bedroom Apartment (3-4 Adults)
- • Stayed 4 nights
Spacious and airy appartement (separate kitchen and living room, high ceilings), excellently maintained and cleaned. Right on the edge of the all-inclusive touristic frenzy that spreads from down town Rethimnon along the boulevard. Which means that restaurants, bakery, beach, car hire, etc. in the vicinity still maintain their original Greek character: charming, and good value for money (this includes the ubiquitous unfriendly Greek supermarket owner). Do not be alarmed by an incidental small sirtaki party in the neighboring pool bar in the evening, they stop early and people are really having fun. The owners are like the aunt and uncle living abroad who you have not met for a long time.

Nothing. Even though there isn't parking the hosts did their best to help us with that too.
Extremely friendly hosts; nothing was too much trouble. The apartment itself is light and airy with plenty of storage space. Air con was good and wifi worked throughout, as did the hot water. If there was something extra that we needed ie a toaster or filter coffee papers they were supplied immediately. One day we were even brought fresh home made grape juice which was delicious. Stepping out into the courtyard each day was blissful & we were often greeted by either the host or Tom, the kitten. The beach is a couple of minutes' walk, a shop less than a minute away & plenty of good tavernas on the main road. The hotel next door didn't disturb us at all - music is not loud, stops pretty early & there was good entertainment.
