“This tastefully renovated hotel places you ideally on the edge of Rethymno's old town, close enough to walk everywhere, but removed from the bustle. I particularly note the modernized rooms, some featuring sea views, and the high marks for helpful, friendly staff. The blend of Cretan hospitality with contemporary style makes it, in my opinion, an excellent base for exploring the area.”
