Perfectly Placid

Perfectly Placid: Crete

Located in the heart of Rethymnon, just a seven-minute walk from the beach, this pad is ideal for those after ease and comfort. It's a room within a boutique hotel, so space is limited – we suggest you pack light, as there's not a lot of storage either. There's a private balcony which opens the room up, and the communal rooftop terrace offers views over the Old Town. Other amenities include a trendy lounge area, cafe, and winery bar with the option of booking wine-tasting classes (for an additional fee). And, while there's no kitchen, you've got plenty of restaurants on your doorstep – plus the lobby provides a complimentary coffee to get you raring to go.

Home truths:
*This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
*There's no kitchen here, so this home might not be the best option for everyone. That said, you'll find some of the area's best restaurants close by. There is also a kettle to make tea or coffee.
*This home is short on wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light.
*Your host has several suites here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos.
*You'll have access to the winery and rooftop terrace here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
*Your host can provide a cot for free upon request.
