The people at the hotel are extremely kind and generous! Definitely worth a stay if you get a food deal. Great location to experience the European streets. The restaurant is the most beautiful I have yet to encounter with beautiful bright pink flowers.

Absolutely the coolest place I have ever stayed! We arrived and were immediately greeted and served wine and cheese in a beautiful garden. From that moment on the six of us were part of this big Greek family (Avli Staff) who love what they do and want to make sure that your stay at this lovely Inn will never be... More

Crete was the second leg of our 30th anniversary trip to Greece, following five days in Santorini. We wanted a totally different experience from Santorini and Rethymnon provided it. As with the Kaitikes in Santorini, we picked the Avli Apartments based on reccomendations here and from our excellent travel agent, True Greece. Was not sure it could live up to... More

Avli was the highlight of our time in Crete. The owners and manager are great hosts and treated us as if we were guests in their own home. The positive reviews are not exaggerated, the room was beautiful and food was amazing. We ate breakfast there every morning in the courtyard and had dinner there once. All the meals were... More

I loved beautiful Avli. In fact, I hesitate writing this review, because I don't want people to find out about it! We loved the owner and hotel managers who made us feel like family. From the moment we arrived to giving advice about the island, they were truly what made our vacation so special. Take the cooking classes! Amazing food... More

The staff certainly make the Avli a standout in Crete. On our arrival we we made to feel very special by the staff, they couldn't do enough for us. From the opulent rooms to the beautiful courtyard restaurant and funky bar area the hotel is a winner. We had dinner and breakfast and enjoyed it all. I cannot fault this... More

Great welcome, beautiful spacious opulent rooms and divine breakfasts - local butter and honey, freshly squeezed juices and scrumptious egg dishes. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Only downside was the jacuzzi element in our bath in the Red room didn't work so if you choose this room might be worth double checking its been fixed if big jacuzzi... More

Our stay in this hotel was fantastic. Although we had trouble finding it, we called and they met us where we were and guided us into the public lot closeby, grabbed our bags and welcomed us warmly with a tour of the property (which was historic and beautiful), and a welcome drink in the relaxing patio covered with bouganvilla and...
