Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Chromonastiri, Venetico Palazzo dates back to the 1600s and has been meticulously restored to its original glory. Boasting Venetian-inspired Cretan Renaissance architecture, this property is a true masterpiece that once served as a holiday house for Venetian and Ottoman lords. Spread over two floors, the villa offers guests a wealth of amenities. From the refreshing swimming pool to the beautiful garden, guests can enjoy the warm Mediterranean sun and bask in the tranquility of their surroundings. The villa features four bedrooms, two living rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, two toilets, and even a steam bath, providing guests with everything they need for a unique stay. The interior of the villa is elegantly designed, reflecting the historic charm of the building, with every room showcasing a perfect balance of traditional and modern elements. The living areas are beautifully appointed, with comfortable sofas and armchairs, while the bedrooms offer a tranquil haven of relaxation. The fully equipped kitchen and the convenient BBQ facilities are perfect for preparing delicious meals, while the interior and exterior dining areas are ideal for enjoying them with family and friends. With its prime location just 15 minutes away from the sandy beaches and artistic old town of Rethimno, Venetico Palazzo can be the perfect base for exploring the best that Crete has to offer.
Chromonastiri is a local community of the Rethymno Municipality in the Rethymno (regional unit) of the region of Crete established by Kallikratis reform. Previously, it was part of the former municipality of Rethymno. Chromonastiri is a traditional settlement and is classified in Class II, that is of average cultural value. Buildings with Venetian architectural elements are scattered throughout the village. Chromonastiri is located 11 km southeast of Rethymno, east of the Mount Vrisinas at an altitude of 360 meters. The name means “Color and Monastery”, and probably this name comes by the coexistence of the village and the monastery of Panayía Kerá (back to the Second Byzantine and Venetian period). Built around the 12th-13th centuries and has been characterized as a traditional village, as several buildings were built during the Venetian period. The local community of Chromonastiri consists of four settlements: Chromonastiri, Prinedes (Πρινέδες), Kapediana (Καπεδιανά) and Myli, Rethymno (Μύλοι).
