Avli Lounge Apartments

We spent three wonderful nights at Avli on our honeymoon. My only regret is that this place was so wonderful, nowhere else we went could compare. When we showed up at Avli, our friendly host poured us a glass of wine and gave us information about what to see during our stay in Crete. We were happy to find that our room had a spacious jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, a little balcony which overlooked a quaint shopping street of the Venetian city, a comfortable bed (actually one big bed, not two twins pushed together like so many you find in... more

It’s easy to rave about the Avli. We stayed for five nights in June, and loved every moment. The property is exquisite – it is in a restored Venetian building and much thought has been given to creating an atmosphere of comfort and visual beauty. We stayed in the Red Suite and found it to be lovely. Meals at the attached Avli restaurant were an experience of perfection. The breakfasts were incredibly delicious with an amazing variety of Greek specialities. We had one of our dinners there, and it too was sublime. The staff was just... more

My husband and I just returned from a two-week trip to Greece, with our last two nights being spent at Avli Suites in Rethimno, Crete. Honestly, words can not express what an amazing and unique place it is, but I will do my best. When we arrived at Avli, we went right into the restaurant, which is the most romantic and beautiful restaurant that I have ever seen. We were met by Antonella whose sister, Katerina, owns the property. It appears that Antonella manages everything to do with the suites, while Katerina oversees the restaurant,... more

I just have to say I loved this property. It is absolutely beautiful! And the food is divine. The service is impeccable. A beautiful boutique hotel that I would stay at again in a heartbeat. Worht every penny!

My wife and I stayed at Avli in Rethymno, Crete for our 25th wedding anniversary. It was everything we'd hoped it would be. The service was excellent, and our suite was beautiful. I was orange and gold, just very nice. Now, as a man, I have to say that I could definitely get used to this kind of luxury! Our travel agent said we'd love it, and we really did (Joanna from [--].) It was pretty much in the center of town, so we were never bored. There was plenty to do! My wife went shopping and I loved the markets. The seafood was always... more

Avli is a boutique hotel located in the center of the old Venetian city of Rethymnon Crete. Avli is a newly refurbished mansion of the 16th century. Our staying there was absolutely amgnificent! The hotel offers a great deal of services and a great restaurant with a breakfast that will meet your highest standars. The 8 suites of this hotel are really suberb and we believe that they worth every euro you pay for them. The jacuzzi on the top of the hotel has a spectacular view of the old fortress of Rethymnon. If you go to Crete Avli Lounge... more

I don't know where to start telling the tale about AVLI... I am not even sure I want to, because in a way i want to keep it a hidden gem for those few of us that have stayed there... Many have eaten there, since AVLI originally is a restaurant. And I think it is just as well in a way, that the story about AVLI can stop there for those who have enjoyed an evening there in that lovely outdoor, super romantic restaurant, and are truelly happy about that... I don't want to ruin their experience in telling them what they REALLY have missed... more
