Beautiful accommodation and amazing breakfast. We are planning another visit next year as we loved this place and location.

Unique and magical place. The set up in old town is beautiful. The apartments are very comfortable and charmingly decorated. Great breakfast. Diner at Avli restaurant was quite an experience.
Service is top notch everywhere in the hotel.
Highly recommended!

Besides the small rooftop pool being under renovation, it didn't take away from a most enjoyable stay,magnificent room and dining options. A must experience.

Beautiful room in great location. So many thoughtful details to make our stay feel more special, from welcome drink in their lovely garden restaurant to gourmet breakfast to parting gift of honey and raki. Probably one of the nicest hotel experiences I have had.

Hotel located in car free zone but hotel did not provide any guidance of where to park. Good service and lovely included breakfast in the courtyard. Hotel set up was confusing as there are three separate buildings. Not advised that our room would be a three story walk up. Room had one air conditioning unit but notwithstanding the extreme heat the hotel did not turn on the ac. For the cost it was not acceptable that it took 12 hours for the room finally to cool off.

I asked for a quiet room as I am a light sleeper. While I realise there is no guarantee that a request can be granted, I did not expect to be put in the room above the Irish Pub! They offered me a change to a small room which I accepted but it was not up to the expectaions. Friends had reccomended we stay there. Having said that, the Dining Room couldn't be faulted

Avli was absolutely stunning. Amazing room, beautiful terrace overlooking shopping/dining. Staff were wonderful, the breakfast was a feast! We did eat in the hotel restaurant for dinner, it was amazing as well. Highly recommended! We will be back!
6.0
We can not speak highly enough about our experience with the Avli fine dining restaurant, our two meals dinner and breakfast were sublime, with incredible food and wonderful waitstaff. If only the Avli Lounge Suites offered the same elevated experience, the rooms are tired and need an update. We do applaud the hotel's arrangement with parking, that process was seamless.

This stay was so charming. The room we stayed in was beautiful and the bed so comfortable. It's conveniently located to shops and restaurants in old town. But what makes them above and beyond is their customer service. All the staff were so helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again
5.0
Our entire experience from check in to check out was 5*!
The staff were so friendly and welcoming.
We stayed here for part of our honeymoon trip to crete and they went above and beyond to make this a special stay for us. From a room upgrade, to a gift bag with local treats to offering us late check out.
The breakfast included in our stay was fantastic! Really got a taste for the cretan cuisine. Their resturants served delicious food with an authentic vibe.
Thank you for a memorable stay.

My girlfriend and I stayed three nights at Avli in late October of 2023. I can’t say enough good things about our experience! Our suite was beautiful and spacious with a wonderful private terrace which overlooked the charming cobblestone streets of Rethymno. There are two restaurants just below our suite (Avli and Raki Baraki) which offer some of the best food in a town known for its cuisine. Every single staff member, from the concierge to the restaurant servers, was extremely friendly and helpful. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Rethymno in the future, we will definitely make this our home base!

ideal location . excellent accomadation friendly and helpfull staff.
breakfast was limited and boring. no variation. better if had a buffet.
10.0
The property is extremely beautiful, the staff will go out of their way to accommodate you, and it was very comfortable. The location is very convenient, but you will hear people late at night still out partying. That does not bother me at all. My only gripe was that the shower would run out of hot water before you were done, and we don’t take long showers. But, other than that, everything was perfect.

This property exceeded all my expectations. It was really stunning. Dining was unique and delicious. Walk out door to shopping and dining. Parking was very convenient. Staff checked on us repeatedly through the day to ensure everything was great—-and it was.

Simply fantastic in every respect
5.0
Our room (called the White room) at Avli was enormous and uniquely beautiful, and the bathroom was terrific. Very well appointed, i cant say enough about the room. And right up the stairs there is a beautiful rooftop area with a small pool (id call it more of a hot tub) and a covered area with a couch and a lovely view. The location was terrific, everything was right outside the door. Breakfast was fantastic and in a magical outdoor courtyard.
It was kind of noisy until quite late (2am) as people sat outside at the restaurant downstairs. But we still loved our stay.

Disturb was exceptionally friendly and very accommodating. The hotel was in a great location in the old town where everything is in walking distance. I would definitely stay again

I cannot say enough positive things about this hotel. The decor in my room was spectacular. The bed was the most comfortable I have had. The staff was friendly, charming and professional. This is my number one so far halfway into my trip. This will be in my plans for a return visit.

Wonderful hotel in the heart of the old town of Rethymnon. All was into the details: decoration, cleanliness, service, food... You are close to all major places by foot and can easily wander in the old town and enjoy the fantastic restaurants of Avli. Special thanks to Elina for her kindness and professional service. Looking forward to coming back again in this very special place

Everything about this beautiful little hotel and our stay was wonderful, I cannot recommendation it highly enough! The staff are exceptional, so friendly, welcoming and helpful - we felt like family by the time we left! Our room (red suite) was beautiful, a quiet and cool oasis just around the corner from the main Avli restaurant in an immaculately renovated old Venetian building. The courtyard Avli restaurant and the food we ate there - breakfast, a lunch and special dinner was exceptional, amazing menu and ingredients. Make sure you go up to the rooftop terrace as the sun sets in the evening, the views are amazing and in late July the swifts were incredible to watch too - an unexpected but wonderful addition to our holiday!
We loved our stay in this beautiful corner of Rethymno old town so much. We will be back!

An excellent hotel with amazing rooms, facilities and restaurants. Excellent service and staff too with a great location

This was an extraordinary property in the extraordinary Old Town section of Rethymnon -- a Venetian delight, architecturally more Italian than Greek. One would need to string together many superlatives to describe the Avli restaurant, where a memorable breakfast is served. We did not make it to the rooftop, where the hot tub was said to be out of action due to heavy spring rains. But it didn't matter. The staff couldn't have been nicer. Hospitality seems to be written into the Greek DNA. Avli has turned it into an art form, a level of graciousness we will always remember. There are only a few rooms in this former palace. Ours had a long wall of exposed rock. Book one, and you will not be disappointed!
5.0
Our stay at Avli was top notch! We were welcomed with a glass of wine in the beautiful restaurant. The staff was incredibly helpful with suggestions of sites to see, assistance with parking. The room was beautiful and historic. Beautiful outdoor space on the roof. Incredible location in the old town. Close to many boutiques, restaurants, and bars
I’d also absolutely recommend the tasting menu in the restaurant during your stay. Delicious in a positively gorgeous space!
5.0
Great spot! Only real downside is that there is no shower - bath only. There is a spray hose, but no where to hook it up, and you have to stand awkwardly in the tub.
Breakfast was amazing.
5.0
Avli is a fabulous spot! Superb room, fabulous breakfast, charming staff. Very central with beautiful cobble streets to wander around. Bed could do with an upgrade, we stayed there 5 years ago & bed comfort levels have declined significantly! An easy fix I'd imagine.
5.0
Off, off season visit. Almost everything in town was closed. Staff went above and beyond to be helpful. An unexpected snowstorm ( believe it or not) made breakfast a bit late, but staff did everything possible to make up for an event that wasn't their fault. Highly recommended, assuming they are half as good in the regular season.

Everyone was so welcoming. Had a fab time. Would certainly return.

The buildings, restaurants and our room all have beautiful interior design details - much appreciated. All the staff we met were delightful and helped make our stay so enjoyable. This was my favourite town hotel in our 9 night Crete tour!
5.0
All around amazing experience and unparalleled customer service! The beauty of the hotel is overshadowed only by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Jonny, the manager, was kind to offer us wine and appetizers upon our late check in (a tradition in Crete) and upgraded us to a gorgeous suite because we were on our honeymoon. Jonny was such an incredible host and was happy to show us the historic features of the hotel and take time to answer all our questions and tell us about Crete. The service and accommodations made us feel like royalty! The location is perfectly located right in Old Town and walking distance to the Fortezza and all the sights, shops, and cafes that one could hope for. My husband and I enjoyed the incredibly delicious daily breakfast included with our stay and are happy we had dinner at the affiliated restaurant as well; the Avli has fantastic food and everything one needs for a wonderful stay in Rethymno! Our stay really was a complete dream and I couldn’t have hoped for a better place to stay than Avli Lounge Apartments!

We stayed here for one night on our trip across Crete. We were so pleased to find a beautiful property in the heart of the old town with lovely, warm staff and a fantastic restaurant downstairs. From checkin to checkout, the entire experience was amazing - we would highly recommend.
