We had a fantastic stay in Casa Vitae, Villa Amaryllis. The apartment was very clean, well maintained, and actually more modern than we expected. The pool area was great and made the stay even more enjoyable. The staff were incredibly helpful and responded quickly whenever we had questions or needed assistance.

Exceptional charming boutique hotel and courtyard

Stayed the second week in October for 2 days at this charming hotel. Annamaria was very welcoming upon our arrival offering us a welcoming drink in the gorgeous courtyard while we checkin and bags brought up to our rooms for us. The breakfast was fantastic having everything you could want from pastries, cheese and cold cuts, assortment of breads and eggs made to order. The location is quiet and has everything closely. The room was unique and well equipped with bottled water, tea/coffee and a cookie, robe and slippers plus a fantastic jetted massage shower ! Annamarie took care of all our needs whether it be recommending dinner restaurants, transportation questions getting the bus to Agios Nickolaos or prior communications by email answered promptly. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others !

The apartment is located in the heart of old town. You need to walk a short distance from the taxi stop to reach it. It is two bedrooms and two bathrooms. You can hear noise from neighbors. The shower is good after waiting several minutes for warm water. There is a kitchen and outdoors area with a small pool. I noticed someone had entered the apartment while we were out although it was not scheduled for the housekeeper visit. I was told the housekeeper needed to open the door to sweep the hall, tho she would’ve walked through the whole apartment to go outside to put the sun umbrella down. I prefer to know when to expect people while we are out so I can secure valuables better. Also it wasn’t always easy getting a response from the manager because he said a phone battery was not working. Otherwise, we enjoyed the space and great location.

Väldigt fint boende och perfekt med oss som åkte med vår tvååring. Egen pool var perfekt under de riktigt varma eftermiddagarna. Bra kök med basutbud. Riktigt vacker byggnad och centralt läge mitt i Gamla stan. Mycket hjälpsam personal. Vi är toppennöjda.

Μέσα στην παλιά πολη του Ρεθύμνου, μία καταπληκτική βίλα με βενετσιάνικη φινέτσα και κρητική παράδοση. Η ιδιοκτήτρια απόλυτα εξυπηρετική, ευγενής και παντα έτοιμη να βοηθήσει. Σίγουρα θα ξαναεπιλέξουμε το Casa Vitae την επόμενη φορά.
