Our take
Casa Dei Delfini offers an authentic Old Town stay in a Venetian-Turkish mansion, with self-catering units that give you room to spread out. The beamed ceilings and stone walls have real character, and the Fortezza Castle is 500 metres away, so most of Rethymno is on foot. A 9.5 rating from 551 reviews says guests rate the experience very highly. Travellers who prefer a sleek, minimalist hotel may find the traditional decor less to their taste, and a mansion in the Old Town may not suit those who want a pool or a beach on site.
- ✓Explore the Old Town on foot from your doorstep; many attractions are just a short walk away.
- ✓Take advantage of the self-catering facilities to prepare some meals, especially if travelling with family.
- ✓Enjoy a quiet moment on your private balcony, soaking in the atmosphere of Rethymno's historic streets.
