AVLI Lounge Apartments is situated in the heart of the old town of Rethymno, among colors, fragrances of flowers, picturesque alleys and old buildings. It’s a Venetian mansion, dating since 1600, that makes your imagination travel to the past like a time machine when it opens its doors. Glass and pebbly floors, running waters, stone Venetian domes, antique furniture, impressive chandeliers and other unique details are the result of the masterly architectural skill of Costas Iliakis. In the courtyard, the traditional Turkish kiosk creates an oriental aura, but the big surprise is the roof garden with the fantastic view to the castle of Fortetza and the open-air jacuzzi that is waiting to offer you moments of absolute relaxation. Your next pleasure destination is the restaurant, where the chef and his team will welcome you with Cretan dishes and excellent wine from the impressive Enoteca wine cellar, which contains more than 460 different labels, whereas the Raki BaR-aki café with live music, “tsikoudia” and traditional snacks gives a new meaning to the notion of fun.
