About the host

Hosted by Irene Spiridaki

Host profile image
My name is Eirini Spyridaki, and my professional journey in the tourism industry spans over 30 years. With a degree in Tourism Business Management and extensive experience in leadership positions within international hospitality groups, I founded a company based in Rethymno, Crete, specializing in the careful management of select properties across the island.

Each property is managed with personal attention and dedication, as we take the time to truly understand both the home and its surrounding area. Our goal is to provide guests with comfort, safety, and an authentic holiday experience—combining professional reliability with the warmth of genuine Cretan hospitality.

Crete is a truly special place—with its rich history, breathtaking landscapes, exquisite cuisine, and, above all, its people, who welcome visitors as friends. Here, you are not just a guest—you are a part of our island’s story. Surrounded by light, flavors, and culture, we are here to offer you daily support, personal recommendations, and thoughtful guidance to make your stay as complete, authentic, and memorable as possible.

Why they chose this property

Here, the charm of the Venetian Old Town and the sparkling Cretan coastline become part of your everyday rhythm.

Set in a privileged location, the property is just a short stroll from the enchanting Old Town, with its narrow cobbled streets, Venetian fortress, boutique shops, and lively tavernas. And just as close, the long seafront promenade invites you to walk along the shoreline, enjoy sunset dining, or simply relax by the water with the sound of the waves.

Your arrival begins not with a lockbox, but with a warm, personal welcome — the kind of hospitality that reflects the true spirit of Crete, where every guest is treated like a friend.

The heart of the home is its spacious private balcony, a serene viewpoint where sea and sky unfold before you. Start your morning with a fresh coffee as the city slowly awakens. Enjoy a restful afternoon lounging under the Mediterranean sun. And as the day comes to a close, raise a glass of wine to a spectacular sunset coloring the horizon.

If you seek a holiday where coastal elegance meets historic charm, where every stroll reveals something beautiful, and sunsets feel like they were painted just for you — your perfect Rethymno escape begins here.
