A Historic Retreat in Rethymno, Revived with New Purpose

Arcus Suites is a rare gem in the heart of Crete, where centuries of heritage, timeless comfort, and heartfelt hospitality converge. Nestled in the historic village of Lappa in Rethymno—surrounded by a landscape full of greenery, ancient olive, carob, plane trees, and natural springs—this 500-year-old Venetian lodge has been lovingly restored, restoring time’s story with every arch and stone.

A sanctuary of authenticity and tranquility, Arcus blends historical architecture with modern elegance: spacious suites with stone walls and wooden ceilings, private jacuzzis, fireplaces, smart technologies, and a peaceful garden oasis with a swimming pool shaded by trees.

Here, the past breathes through the present—offering moments of home, meaningful connection, and lifelong memories.

Set within one of Crete’s most fertile and historic landscapes, Arcus invites you to reconnect with nature—whether you’re relaxing beneath centuries-old olive trees, walking through village paths, or enjoying breakfast with fresh local ingredients sourced from the land itself.

Sustainably powered by the Cretan sun—with solar panels, energy-smart systems, and eco-conscious design—Arcus Suites honors both tradition and the future.

Arcus Suites is not just a place to stay—it is where centuries welcome you home, nature embraces you gently, and where you arrive as a guest but leave as family.
