Reviews and Ratings
My experience at this hotel had its highs and lows. The historical charm and peaceful courtyard created a lovely atmosphere, and the customer service from the staff was commendable. However, I faced some challenges with the steep staircases and the room layout, which made getting settled a bit difficult. Overall, it's a picturesque setting but not without its drawbacks, especially for those with mobility issues.
This boutique hotel is charming with its historical décor and courtyard. The restaurant offers a delightful ambiance and delicious cuisine. While my room was spacious and equipped with modern amenities, I found the steep staircase a bit challenging. Overall, it’s a great spot for enjoying Rethymno, but some room quirks could be improved.
Our stay at the Veneto Hotel and Restaurant was absolutely delightful! The historical charm of the building added to the overall experience, and we loved being in the heart of Rethymno's old town. The food was exceptional, especially at our Welcome Dinner, though breakfast could have had a bit more variety. The service was top-notch, making us feel special throughout our stay. While finding parking was a slight challenge, everything else more than compensated for it.
My stay at this hotel was delightful, with a beautiful historical charm that made me feel like I was stepping back in time. The rooms were spacious, clean, and filled with lovely old furniture, creating an inviting atmosphere. While the dining experience was remarkable, the breakfast could have offered a bit more variety. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the old town but quiet enough for a peaceful stay. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy Rethymno.
I couldn't have asked for a more delightful stay at Veneto Boutique Hotel! The hotel's historical charm truly swept me off my feet, and the personal attention from the staff made all the difference. The food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious and elevated my dining experience. However, while I appreciated the authenticity of the old building, sometimes the sounds from nearby areas could be a bit distracting. Overall, it’s an amazing stay with a few minor quirks!
