This old house on the hill, belonging to the Sapountzakis family, our great grandparents, is situated in Mikra Anogia village, 3 km outside the city of Rethimno, at an altitude of 240m. “Anogia” in the Cretan dialect, refers to settlements or villages located in places at higher altitude. It has one bedroom, bathroom with shower and a living room with an open plan, fully equipped, small kitchen. Both bedroom and living room have a balcony with great view of the sea and mountains. The house was rebuilt during the late 80s and served as our family’s vacation home for many years. Now, recently renovated and redecorated, combining modern and traditional furniture, items and family artifacts, among which yiayia Maria’s paintings, is ready to welcome you and encourages you to create your own vacation memories. Mikra Anogia is a small settlement situated on the countryside outside the city of Rethimno. It is a quiet and safe residential area, with small houses and narrow alleys, away from the traffic and city noise! There is no public transport, guests will need a vehicle to reach Mikra Anogia. Retail shops and super markets are just a 5-minute drive from Mikra Anogia. There is free parking on the street, approximately 50m away from the house. The house is situated in an alley not accessible by car, therefore guests will need to walk that distance. There are two steps at the entrance of the house.
