Hotel 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 the Old Town of Rethymnon a few metres away from St Lazarous Chapel which is the property of the town hall and is used for civil wedding ceremonies.

We can speculate that “Casa Vitae” was originally a fortified house that was probably the residence of a nobleman – maybe even the Venetian governor. A stone that was found to the left of the main entrance bore the Latin initials “C.A.” and there is speculation these may have been the initials of its nobleman owner. After the occupation of Crete by the Ottomans in the year 1669, the house was inhabited by the Turks and its Venetian architecture was added to by the Ottomans. In the beautiful courtyard, three Venetian pillars still stand alongside a unique octagonal fountain, the ­only surviving example in its shape from this period. The fountain was designed and constructed by the Ottomans as a consequence of their love to running water.

“Casa Vitae Hotel” has eight fully renovated spacious and airy luxurious suites and rooms, which reflect the historical Venetian and Ottoman styles of their epoch. Here, history tends to combine with the traditional Cretan hospitality and warmth. The hotel is fully equipped to provide guests with an ambient environment that merges the romance of its past with the comforts of our modern times, such as SAT TV, wireless Internet access (free of charge), Jacuzzi bath or Shower with Cabin Hydro massage. read more
