“This adults-only boutique hotel resides in Rethymno's historic heart, a calm counterpoint to the town's vibrant pulse. What was once a primary school now offers a tranquil garden, intimate wine cellar showcasing local vintages, and a breakfast that highlights Cretan culinary traditions. I think its position makes it an ideal base to explore both the city's cultural attractions and the nearby beaches.”
