Our restaurant. Our family. Our home.......
Here is a little history. After running a taverna near the Rimondi Fountain for many years, George Michailidis decided that it was time to buy his own property. He purchased two derelict buildings next to the fortress and set to work making it a home and a business for his family. It was a slow process but with hard work, determination and loyal customers and friends Castelvecchio has developed into one of the finest restaurants in Rethymnon. The restaurant is now run by George's son Valandis who has taken the restaurant to a higher standard and maintains the wonderful standard of cuisine set by his father. George can still be found in the kitchen carefully handing down his recipes to Valadis wife and the other loyal kitchen assistants.
As the Castelvecchio building is also a home you are likely to see various generations of the Michailidis family coming and going which helps generate that cosy relaxed feeling of being in and dining in their home.
