Loved by guests
"Sitting in the balcony of our room (Aretousa) and looking at the view of Venetian harbor was just out of this world."
"Each of the rooms has gorgeous views (Erophele and Aretousa, to the harbor and Panorea, to a charming interior courtyard) and the design and creativity in each is stunning."
"The hotel is perfectly located on the Harbor with amazing views."

Cretan Renaissance occupies a Venetian manor house on Kountourioti Coast, designated as a historical monument by the Ephorate of Byzantium Antiquities and UNESCO.

Three rooms include hot tubs, and all have private bathrooms with Diptyque toiletries, hair dryers, and bathrobes.
