Top Fortezza Castle Hotel Reviews

ISIDORA home

10/10 Excellent

"I loved Isidora's Home conveniently located in Old town Rethymno. I was walking distance from the KTEL bus station and close to where the tour buses pick up for excursions (diagonally across from Church of the Four Martyrs near the parking lot) and a lot of great restaurants like Stella's Kitchen (i recommend getting there before 1pm). The host was very attentive no matter what time of night. I give this place 10 stars 😊😊😊"
