I loved this place. It was (almost) nicer than my own home, and it was certainly bigger. The owners truly put some love and care into the place. In talking to them (a nice Greek/German pair), they apparently did many of the renovations themselves. It shows in all of the wonderful little details we found: a spiral staircase, a detachable...

Casa Maistra - in the old beautiful section of Rethymno - is one of the best - and especialy unique - "residence" - we ever stayed in. Lovingly restored old house with three modern spacious and fully equiped suits - centrally located between the main touristic street of old Rethymno and rhe beach promanade. And above all - the warm... More

My husband and I and our two children 5 years and 5 months stayed in the Sea View Suite for ten days in September. We would highly recommned this apartment. Great location in Rethymno right near shopping and eating areas and walking distance to fort. The apartment was absolutely, spotlessly clean. It has been beautifully renovated. We had been travelling... More

I spent two days with some friends at the Sea Panorama Suite and it was just breathtaking! We didn't want to leave our room, we sat at the balcony and enjoyed the amazing view to the water as well as the palm trees of the Rethymno promenade. The whole suite was amazingly decorated, simple but cozy and tasteful, the kitchen... More

This was a fantastic spot, centrally located, our hosts Karen and Marinos could not have been more welcoming. Rethymno has history, shopping, beaches and is easy to access from Heraklion Airport, (~1.5 hour drive on national highway). Karen has thought of everything, beach towels in a carryall and a beach umbrella, wine in the room, breakfast pastries, to name just... More

It is located in the old town, which has fantastic shops, restaurants & coffee bars and it is also about 10minutes walk from the lovely 11km beach. We stayed in the Agora Suite, which was fantastic & was much... More

The reviews below do cover it all very well. My wife and I were in Crete for the first time and had no idea what to expect. The reviews of Casa Maistra and in particular the hosts covinced us to stay in Rethymnon. It was the right choice. Karen treated us like old friends - better even - making us... More

Casa Maistra Residence is a beautifully renovated accommodation with 3 apartments / suites of different size in the old town of Rethymnon.
