Albergo
Fabrizio del Carretto

Timeless comfort within ancient walls, in the heart of the Medieval Town of Rhodes.

Historic estate

Seven centuries behind the walls of the Knights

The estate lies within the Old Town of Rhodes, near St George's Bastion, against the castle wall in the quarter once held by the Spanish knights.

Named after Fabrizio del Carretto, the 43rd Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, it brings together three buildings of 900 m², a 750 m² garden and a Byzantine chapel enclosed within the walls. Spanish insignia are still carved into its walls.

The garden

A quiet courtyard in the heart of the old city

Trees, stone paving and the old fortification wall: the garden is a moment of calm a few steps from the busy lanes of the Old Town.

History

The story of the estate

  1. 13th–14th c.

    Built by the Knights

    The Knights of St John Hospitaller raise the main building beside the walls, home to the Spanish knights of the Order.

    Fabrizio del Carretto

    The Italian nobleman serves as 43rd Grand Master. His coat of arms is still carved on the wall within the grounds.

  3. 1522

    The Great Siege

    Ottoman explosives breach the wall here; the area changes hands three times before the Spanish knights hold it.

    Pashas and imams

    The buildings take on Arabic architectural touches and house high officials and scholars; the chapel entrance is sealed.

  5. Today

    Restored for the future
