01 · In a sentence

Casa dei Delfini in Rethymno 741 31, open JuneSeptember.

Built in the 17th century as a Venetian mansion, Casa dei Delfini has been carefully restored to preserve its original architectural character while offering modern hospitality.

Located on Nikiforou Foka Street in Rethymno's Old Town, this historic hotel combines period details with contemporary amenities for destination weddings.

The property's restoration respected the building's Renaissance roots, creating an authentic Cretan setting for celebrations.

A lovely hotel situated a short stroll to the old town but feels quiet and calm. The room was a good size and had everything we needed as well as having some characterful features. Breakfast was lovely. All the staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants relaxing stay whilst also wanting to be in the middle of the bustle of the old town.
