Accommodation & Outdoor Amenities

House Zambia's swimming pool and garden are completely private and are located in the backyard of the house. The door at the back of ground floor leads to this very large open area which also contains a large terrace with another fully equipped kitchen and a barbecue grill.

You can enjoy House Zambia's swimming pool and garden at any time, even at night, as it is surrounded by elegant light poles. The high Cretan trees, plants, vegetation and bamboo fences, shield the pool and garden's view completely from the neighboring houses, providing complete privacy and beautiful green surroundings.

Just outside the ground floor of House Zambia, there's an outside modern shower and toilet. If you are enjoying House Zambia's outdoor activities, you don't have to go inside to visit the toilet or have a shower. Everything you need is within reach. After all, you can cook outside, organize a family barbecue, or have a nap under the cool shadow of our garden trees.

The garden not only provides a great relaxing and serene background scenery, but it also provides a cool shadow shelter for those famously hot Greek afternoons. House Zambia's garden is full of Cretan flowers, plants and trees but its centerpiece is the large, glorious oak tree at the edge of the garden, surrounded by a stone pedestal. Under the oak tree you can find a small coffee table, ideal for a relaxing chess or backgammon game amidst the guaranteed summer breeze of the garden.

Overseeing the swimming pool and the garden is House Zambia's large terrace. The terrace houses a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and freezer, an electric cooker and a barbecue grill. You can organize a BBQ event with family and friends with local, fresh Cretan meat you can buy directly from one of the village's butcher shops. The terrace also has a large dining table and is protected from the strong Greek midday sun with a tent.

House Zambia follows the traditional Cretan Greek village style with stone walls and traditional furniture, tablecloths, and ornaments. In the above picture you can see the entrance of the house and the hallway as seen from the living room. The house seamlessly combines traditional with modern elements to balance comfort and Cretan tradition in order to provide a memorable staying experience to all its guests.

House Zambia has two floors. On the ground floor there is the living room, the dining room and the kitchen. In the living room there are two large sofas and the TV which has satellite reception and a DVD player. House Zambia also contains a large collection of DVD titles and a small library with English books. Feel free to relax by reading one our books outside, next to the swimming pool and watch a movie or a documentary when you're not feeling like exploring Rethymnon's nightlife.

House Zambia has two bedrooms on the first floor. The two bedrooms sleep in total five (5) people. The hallway is lit by natural sunlight coming inside from House Zambia's large sunroof. In the same floor there is the bathroom, which apart from the toilet and the bathtub contains a big, family-sized washing machine.

House Zambia's master bedroom contains a double bed and its secondary bedroom contains one double and one single bed. Both rooms are air-conditioned - which is something you definitely need during the famously hot Greek days and nights.

House Zambia's second bedroom contains two beds, one single and one double one. The single bed is spacious enough so, if you have to, you can be flexible in your sleeping arrangements. To be totally comfortable, at most three (3) people can stay in House Zambia's second bedroom. However, if you absolutely need to sleep a fourth person (six people in total) and the ground floor's sofa (that turns into a bed) is not an option for you, please contact us and we'll definitely find a solution. The room is spacious enough to sleep additional people.
