Avli Lounge

Located in the heart of Rethymnon's Old Town, just a few minutes' walk via narrow lanes from the pretty Venetian harbour, this unique collection of suites and rooms is housed in three old buildings, and combine luxury with mod cons in an historic setting (the original mansion dates from the 17th century).

All suites are very spacious (from 35 sq m), individual and lavishly furnished. Room facilities include a Jacuzzi bathroom, Wifi, CD stereo, Sat TV, air conditioning, fridge with complimentary beverages, roomsafe and bathroom amenities, and room service available 18 hours a day. The luxurious Penthouse Suite for couples has a large open balcony with views to the fortress. On the roof is a furnished sun terrace with hot-tub Jacuzzi for common use.

The rooms are of course less opulent but bright and colourful. All have a Queen sized bed but please note that Standard rooms are small and recommended for singles only, so we recommend upgrading to the Superior rooms. Other than having a shower rather than a bath, facilities and services are the same as in the main Suites, so we consider these new rooms to be well priced.

Avli is known for its award winning restaurant, set in a bougainvillea shaded courtyard and offering a sophisticated Cretan cuisine as well as the most extensive wine cellar on the island. The hotel offers cookery lessons and wine-tasting sessions.
