The room ( White suite ) was fantastic. Beautiful bed, very comfortable. Spotless and cleaned daily. Bath robes, fluffy towels were nice. The breakfast is amazing and possibly the finest breakfast in the town. The restaurant setting is spectacular, so good that my wife and I are looking to book next year to renew our wedding vows with a small group of family and friends. Staff are very friendly and Stelios is a credit to the hotel.

Late arrival (after 11pm) due to delay was no problem. Very nice and spacious room (free upgrade to Jr. Suite) featuring a whirlpool. Rooms are scattered in multiple beautiful buildings from the 16th century. Excellent a-la-carte breakfast on a patio surrounded by plants and nice decor. Two restaurants offering splendid food for lunch/dinner (one casual „tapas“-style and one fine dining).

The staff, restaurant, and surroundings were great. We enjoyed the trip very much - will definitely repeat this on other weekends.

Dimtiri Greece

Everything. Sumptuous beds, ideal location, toiletries smell amazing, hosts are so helpful and if you want THE BEST ADVICE eat at (one of) their hotel restaurant(s) called Raki ba Raki. It was the best food we had during our stay, we are there twice - first and last night. They have the right idea about everything. Even the Cretan breakfast (special Greek award for authenticity) was an excellent touch, very different. The first beach is incredibly close by (3 mins walk) and not massively frequented as it's within the harbour. There are barely any waves, perfect if you have difficulty walking. The rooftop Jacuzzi is in a different building maybe 40 seconds away but easily accessible. It's also spectacular.

Brilliant location and atmosphere. It is a historic building with real character. The staff really help on any issue that arises. Absolutely loved my stay there. The breakfast is also really good and fresh. The view and facilities on the rooftop were amazing. It is the perfect location to see everything and experience rethymno.

We were in the beautiful and very comfortable red suit. The breakfast is made for you when you order and is very good with only local product (you had never eaten Greek yoghourt before going to Avli!). This boutique hotel is very well located in the old city center and close to a parking. Rethymnon is a beautiful town with a very rich history and it is a good place to drive around the island. Stelios is very kind and helpful : he tries always to help you and he gives you very good advice about places to visit. There are plenty of fantastic restaurants in Rethymnon that is for me the gastronomic capital of Crete.

Everything was magic - the room, location and service was really amazing. Special shout to Stelios who was just fantastic with communications before arrival and equally welcoming after we arrived. On our last day, we had an early 7am departure and Stelios had prepared a little takeaway breakfast feast the evening before - we had not requested it so it was a lovely touch and epitomised the service. We would love to return!

Breakfast was excellent as were the staff and beautiful garden and restaurant. If you stay at the Avli you could not wish for a more stunning hotel and location.

Everything was top notch! I loved the courtyard where they serve breakfast and dinner. It’s filled with plants, it has a huge date palm tree, a lime tree full o& fruits, pots of plants everywhere! The candy suite that we stayed in had a balcony which was pretty secluded. We used it often, for reading books and having a glass of wine. The staff are so warm and caring and genuinely interested in us and our needs. The dinner was outstanding. They do have a reputation for being the top quality restaurant in town, but honestly, the food was even better than I expected to be. I would stay in Avli every time I’m in Rethymno, no question about it.
