Built in the heart of Old Rethymnon during the Venetian period, the Palazzino di Corina has bags of character and an excellent position. The property has been fully renovated, with the use of natural materials – such as wood and stone – wherever possible. The style and design of the hotel creates a calm mood, in contrast to the bustling town outside. The twenty-one suites have been beautifully decorated with earth tones and antique furnishings thoughtfully complemented by touches such as wrought iron beds and hand-painted wash basins.

The hotel’s breakfast room also provides a relaxing setting in which to enjoy an evening aperitif. This room opens onto a central courtyard with tables and chairs (another pleasant spot in which to enjoy refreshments) and a plunge pool with power jets to swim against.

Palazzino di Corina’s super location means it is only a few minutes walk from the town’s restaurants, stylish boutiques, Venetian port, Fortezza and the 5km long sandy beach.
