A rare beachfront hospitality asset located on the northern coast of Crete, in the wider Rethymno region, offering direct access to a sandy beach and an exceptional setting surrounded by lush gardens and mature palm trees.
The property is situated only 30 meters from the sea, while remaining extremely close to the city — approximately 10–15 minutes from the Old Town of Rethymno, ensuring an ideal combination of tranquility, accessibility, and strong tourism demand.
Built on a generous 4,500 sq.m plot, the property consists of three separate buildings with a total built area of approximately 2,200 sq.m. Originally constructed in 1985, it has undergone continuous partial renovations over the years, maintaining a strong structural base and operational potential.
In recent years, the property has not operated as a classic hotel; instead, it has been utilized for monthly room rentals, indicating a stable alternative revenue stream and flexibility of use.
