Exceptional charming boutique hotel and courtyard
Stayed the second week in October for 2 days at this charming hotel. Annamaria was very welcoming upon our arrival offering us a welcoming drink in the gorgeous courtyard while we checkin and bags brought up to our rooms for us. The breakfast was fantastic having everything you could want from pastries, cheese and cold cuts, assortment of breads and eggs made to order. The location is quiet and has everything closely. The room was unique and well equipped with bottled water, tea/coffee and a cookie, robe and slippers plus a fantastic jetted massage shower ! Annamarie took care of all our needs whether it be recommending dinner restaurants, transportation questions getting the bus to Agios Nickolaos or prior communications by email answered promptly. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others !

Ottima struttura nel centro storico
Albergo in pieno centro storico, ricavato da una casa / villa veneziana, con cortile interno. Colazione sotto il pergolato del cortile, con l'immancabile micio cretese che viene a salutare.

Quite location in the old town, convenient to shopping and restaurants. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast. Stayed in the Rodon room. Wish they had better lights by the bed for reading, but that's being picky. Parking is nearby and a short walk.

Great stay in the heart of Rethymno
We stayed 2 nights at Case Vitae. Excellent location, very quiet but 5 minutes from the heart of the old town. Easy to park close by if you have a car. The staff is very welcoming. Excellent breakfast served on a very nice patio. Would definitely go there again.

Superb Location
A lovely, small, hotel set within the old town in Rethymnon. Ideal for access to all the old town facilities and within minutes of dozens of tavernas.
