Description
“Casa Vitae” is a contemporary boutique hotel steeped in history. Its origins date back to the Venetian period (1211-1669) and it is estimated that it was built in the late Venetian, early Ottoman period. It is located in Neophitou Patelarou 3 street in the Old Town of Rethymnon, an area that was then called Lazariana, after the St Lazarous Chapel which is a few metres away on the same street. This chapel is now the property of the town hall and is used for civil wedding ceremonies.

“Casa Vitae Luxury Hotel” has eight fully renovated spacious and airy luxurious suites, which reflect the historical Venetian and Ottoman styles of their epoch. Here, history tends to combine with the traditional Cretan culture of hospitality and warmth. The hotel is fully equipped to provide guests with an ambient environment that merges the romance of its past with the tradition of Crete and the comforts of our modern times.
