The most beautiful hotel in venetian building. Linda, the owner, is very kind and helpful, welcoming. They have decorated the hotel with antique furniture, there  are flowers and every little detail has been considered with great taste. The pool is the best, as Casa Dell Aristea is away from the beach, and this gives the hotel feeling of luxury. They clean rooms daily and offer breakfast with local ingredients. 
The only minus is the location as there are only fast food restaurants, one cafeteria and two restaurants with standard quality. To stay in this hotel you need a car as the area is nothing special. 
But the hotel is amazing, I would like to visit again for the beauty of the place.

Relaxing hotel in Venetian building

I was here about 4 months ago but promised to also leave a review here; so here we go (sorry for the delay; I didn't have an account here before). 

I fell in love with the place. An old Venetian Villa, beautifully renovated and decorated with antiques. Linda is a great host, explained the history of the villa and showed us around a little. Breakfast was splendid. I can only say good things about this small hotel and would have planned more time in Rethymno during our trip just for the sake of enjoying the flair of the villa a little longer (and maybe the pool in better weather...).

Splendid - Great Venetian Flair

Whenever you visit Rethymno in Crete, a pleasant surprise awaits you in the suburb called Atsipopoulos. The guesthouse Casa del Aristea is located in a renovated Venetian house in an atmospheric environment full of antiques. Friendly and warm service from the owner and a handmade breakfast in a beautiful  courtyard.  Rare holiday spot avoiding the big hotels.

Perfect

My two friends and I loved our experience at  Casa dell'Aristea so much that we extended our stay by three days and made day trips instead of leaving Atsipopolous/Rethymnon.  Linda is such a wonderful host and lovely person.  Her breakfasts and help with tourist needs helped make our trip even better.  The beds were the best I've encountered anywhere before.  The inn is a fantastically restored  Venetian-influenced home from the 1500s and it was all quite magical.

Atmosphere, comfort, and luxury

We spent 3 incredible nights in this gorgeous house managed by a lovely family and enjoyed every minute of it. Linda takes care of each guest like royalty and makes them feel at home almost immediately. 

Before jumping in the car to discover all the great neighbouring sites, there was no better way to start the day than by savouring the generous and delicious homemade breakfasts by the pool with a view of the sea and the entire city of Rethymnon.

This was a truly experience to remember and hopefully repeat soon!

Exclusive experience !

We spent 2 weeks in June in Casa dell' Aristea in the Venetian 
Suite.

It was a very good choice for us. The suite was pretty big 
with an entrance to the roof floor and an outstanding view 
to Rethymnon. 

There is a quiet pool area and the building is - matching with 
its Venetian style - equipped with antique style furniture. 

It is just about 2 km from the main coastal road and 3 km 
from Rethymnon.

Linda has always taken care of us and made the stay very 
relaxable for us
+ She gave us directions in advance, how to find the location.
   BTW: Since this area was built in the Venetian time, the 
   road to Casa dell' Aristea is rather narrow. So, a smaller 
   car is highly recommended and parking is only possible 
   down to the main road, close to the church or to the super 
   market (about 150 m away). 
+ She offered an outstanding breakfast - normaly always 
   outside and in the shade - with omelette, freshly pressed 
   orange juice, fresh fruit and marmelade and more - and 
   twice as much you can eat.
+ She gave us helpful instructions, i.e. where to find the best 
   parking area in Rethymnon, the best tavernas or what is 
   worthy to see.

Linda's husband has an antique shop in Rethymnon and the 
two sons build outstanding lyras, the famous Cretan string 
instrument.

It was a great stay !

Outstanding stay in the Venetian Suite

Nestled in the village is this beautful bed and breakfast, filled with antiques and traditional Greek furnishings. Linda Papalexakis, the proprietor, could not have been lovelier and more accommodating. We stayed in the gorgeous Venetia suite. Go on their website to see how stunning this large and beautiful room is with a huge terrace and spectacular view of the sea and Rethymno. There is also a beautiful patio with a pool, both with wonderful views. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. My only suggestion would be to switch things up a little as pretty much the same things were served but you could make special requests. You'll love it here!

What a wonderful place to stay!

wow!! what a brilliant location, an amazing venetian house restored beautifully. a range of rooms and suites. Linda is possibly the best host in the world, nothing is a problem and she is a mine of information and in her words "it's your holiday and I want you to relax" the situation is amazing down a quiet cobbled street so nice and quiet the pool has lovely views over the bay of Rethymon, being dive bombed by the swallows only adds to the attraction of this place. it influenced us so much we bought a house out there.
what better reference could you get!!

look no further

I stayed for 2 days and can see what attracts people who want peace and quiet in a casa that has been beautifully finished.However my experience was that there are numerous things that I expect for 100 euros a night that the customer doesnt get.This maybe because the owner was not there ,but they are as follows. Firstly ,parking at the bottom of the hill if the car park is not full.It seems that it usually is as I only managed to park there once.Then a walk uphill for 125 metres to a hotel which doesnt even have the name outside to let you know you,ve arrived..,followed by a walk up more steps to the room.In 2 days there I saw the manger for about 10 mins otherwise there is no one in attendance to help.At breakfast there is a lady from macedonia who was very nice.There was fresh orange juice but no normal cooked breakfast and NO FRUIT at all.The shower has a supermarket shampoo but no conditioner or other things you normally associate with 100 euros a night. I decided to phone a restaurant but the phone didnt work.When I mentioned this the next morning, I was told<correct, ,the phone doesnt work ( so why is it in the room !!!) What would one do in an emergency or ill ness???There is no in room brochure  info to help you .There is a small tv but NO ENGLISH channels.There was a bottle of wine and fruit in the fridge.SO,maybe its different when the owner is around ,but I definately didnt feel that I got value for money.

I,m in the minority

Dear Linda we had a wonderful stay. Eveything was perfect! You welcomed us so warmly that we immediatly felt at home.Your apartement is fournished very tastefully and is very clean, as is the house inclouding the swimming pool and the breakfast terrace. Your "Kalimera" brightened every morning and we daily relished the hearty breakast. You seem to know every corner in Crete and able to recommend excellent restaurants and excursions. If any potential misunderstanding arose you quickly telephoned and settled everything in Greek - with a smile of course!
Originally we had planed to stay for six days, however we ended up staying for the whole of our Holiday in Greece with you. That is what you call a perfect Holiday!
Many thanks, Linda, for everything. We are bound to come back and please convey our regards ti the whole of your family. With warmest wishes, Sarah and her parents
