Rethymnon was the last place we visited on our honeymoon and we had the most amazing time, made all the better by this hotel. The owners made us feel very welcome and the rooms were spectacular - traditional features, romantic touches, elegant decor - this place has it all.

We - my wife, me and our 8 year old son - stayed in August for one week in the Vetera (Dionne Suite). This hotel is very small (4 rooms) and really beautiful.

They are lovely people who have very tastfully turned this very old building into a beautiful place to stay. They have installed very... More
