Old Olive Mill is a restored 13th Century Olive Mill that milled olives from the abundant trees in the area. It sits in the middle of the the historical and picturesque village of Maroulas. We have 2 en-suite double guest rooms each with a king size bed which are in a separate annex to the main house. Access to the rooms is via the main house. Guests have exclusive use of all facilities including the pool, hot tub, gardens and roof terrace. There is a BBQ for guests should they wish to stay in and cook. As this is our home guests have all other facilities such as the iron and ironing board and washing machine etc at their disposable. Please note that the bedrooms DO NOT have a private kitchen or kitchen area although each room has a small fridge, with tea and coffee making facilities. We are a cat friendly property and although cats wander around the property they do not go into guests rooms. Breakfast is included and we have a very extensive menu so you can choose what you would like. The bedrooms are well appointed and each room has air conditioning, hair dryer, straighteners, bathrobes, towels (as well as additional pool and beach towels). Korres Greek toiletries - Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion are also supplied. The We look forward to meeting you.
We hope you enjoy spending time here and relaxing as if it were your own home. We are usually around the house and very happy to give help and advice if needed.
Maroulas sits 787 ft (240 meters) above sea level it offers peace, tranquility and magnificent views. A holiday here lets you experience what Crete is all about, staying in a traditional Cretan village much of which has hardly changed since the Venetian's made it their home. It is the perfect place for a holiday off the beaten track whilst being only a few minutes’ drive to the beach side resort of Plantanis and major supermarkets. The stunningly beautiful Venetian town of Rethymnon is twenty minutes away where in the maze of tiny streets you will find numerous high-end restaurants, traditional tavernas and bars along with an abundance of shops. Within Maroulas village there are three excellent tavernas, Myloperta, Katerina and Armos. The village is also home to the famous Marianna workshop. For walkers and cyclists, there are numerous footpaths and tracks around the village and surrounding countryside.
