Hidden in the heart of the old town of Rethymno, “Casa Vitae” is a boutique hotel full of memories and history. This magnificent mansion of the 16th century has been transformed to a unique hotel for demanding guests, which combines the romantic aura of old Crete with comforts and services of the contemporary era. Maintaining many authentic Venetian and Ottoman elements, it possesses 8 spacious suites with unique décor, some with jacuzzi and some with hydro-massage, in fine, sumptuous style. All have a view to the mansion’s courtyard, a cool, tranquil oasis in the center of Rethymno full of Cretan plants and flowers with charming niches around the small picturesque lake. There, under the pergola, live the ultimate Cretan hospitality: take your breakfast and enjoy homemade jams, thyme honey, warm bread and freshly prepared juices.
