Olive Garden Residence, Platanes Overview
Olive Garden Residence is located in Platanes, Greece. Rated 10.0 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
Olive Garden Residence is a family-friendly stay in Platanes, Greece, set on Neas Fokeas and well suited to travelers who want beach time without giving up easy access to Rethymno. With check-in from 03:00 PM to midnight and check-out at 11:00 AM, it works smoothly for both short breaks and longer stays. Guests consistently highlight the calm, comfortable atmosphere and the practical touches that make day-to-day travel easier, including luggage storage and express check-in/check-out. The residence’s outdoor swimming pool is a natural focal point for downtime, while air conditioning helps keep rooms comfortable during warmer hours. Non-smoking rooms and family rooms cater to different group needs, and pets are allowed for those bringing companions along.

For culture and history, Rethymno Old Town and the Rethymno Fortress are both around 4 km from Olive Garden Residence, giving you a straightforward route to Venetian-era streets and views. The Municipal Garden of Rethymno, also roughly 4 km away, offers a quieter option for a shaded stroll between sightseeing blocks. Reviews from past guests (noted as 10/10 from three reviews) point to the overall ease of the stay and the feeling that the residence is geared toward real holiday routines rather than complicated logistics.
