This beautifully restored historic Venetian and center of Old Town Rethymno property is a true gem. The substantial tasteful modernization of this home is impressive and yet respects its historical style. Mr Paraskevas is a wonderful and welcoming host in addition to being a master baker. We arrived to find a case of water, milk, orange juice, eggs, cheese, coffee and expresso pods, and his own delicious baklava! Yes, you do have to roll/tote your luggage a few short blocks from parking, but the great location mitigates that small inconvenience. For convenience, we parked in pay parking at the Fortessa, but there is free parking a few more blocks away near the bus station if you can find a place. As we stayed 7 nights, we actually got to know some of the local restaurant and merchant folks. Very kind and fun as well. There are so many choices for dining just steps away that are excellent. In particular, we most liked Kamara and To Pigadi for lunch/dinner and Cul De Sac for breakfast. There are also numerous bakeries for coffee and pastries for breakfast. We were fortunate to attend a wedding event at Agreco Farm up in the hills of Rethymno-a special place and also a culture tour with Chania Wine Tours including tours of olive oil production, honey hives, sheep farming/cheese production culminating in a picnic feast of traditional Creten fare at tour guide Vasilis’s mountain farm. We highly recommend Domus Clodus and hope to return. Great property and host/Mr. Paraskevas.
