“Gorgeous room, much bigger than we expected. Huge jacuzzi tub. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They even provided a phone with free calling and data to use while we were in Rethymno. Located very conveniently close to the old fortress, in the old party of town, walking distance from the beach. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Breakfast was fantastic; Greek yogurt, meats and cheeses from crete, all in a courtyard garden (or in an eclectic yet historic building). Probably the best hotel I've stayed at so far. Highly recommend!”
“The layout of the property - a series of interconnecting restaurants, streets, courtyards. Felt very traditional and atmospheric in a magical old town. Echoed in the decor of our room.”
“The room was beautiful as was the restaurant and the food. I think it is the nicest place I’ve stayed in in Crete. The decor is quirky but wonderful. The staff were all polite, attentive and extremely helpful. I’ve been before and I will definitely come again.”
“Fantastic Cretan welcome upon arrival, made to feel like family! Excellent accommodation, helpful and friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, excellent food, what more is there to say? The hotel went out of its way to accommodate our every need from early breakfast to packed lunches for days out.”
“Great staff who cheerfully and quickly responded to our every requests!”
“Breakfast was amazing. The staff are excellent hosts, and other establishments can learn a thing or two from Avli. For example, we went on a day trip to Knossos, and we were surprised (and delighted) when they gave us a packed lunch complete with fruits, sandwiches and drinks! That is just one of the many instances that delighted us.”
“It's in the old town so narrow streets etc room was lovely but no view and some might feel a little claustrophobic . Hotel was very welcoming and breakfast in the court yard was unique”
“Beautiful room, gorgeous spa bath, amazing staff - nothing was too much trouble”
“Beautiful ancient but extremely well kept building in the lovely old city. Very nice and hospitable staff. A very pleasant welcome in the restaurant upon arrival. Beautiful good sized room with two terraces.”
“The hotel was beautiful, the food and wine gorgeous. Staff very friendly and helpful . The jacuzzi on the rooftop was very special and romantic, wonderful views of the town . The room was large and elegant .”
