Accommodation in Rethymnon Town - we have selected beautiful small guesthouses in the old town...
Rethymnon Town is full of character and plenty of sights to explore...
Our tip is to stay within the walls of the old town, in that way you will be able to experience the atmosphere of the narrow laneways and Venetian architecture, stroll surrounded by history, dine in the tavernas on your doorstep.
For a mid-range price, enjoy the narrow old laneways of the Old Town whilst staying at the Casa dei Delfini.In the very centre of the old zone, surrounded by great shopping, boutiques, jewellers, this stylish accommodation is close to the Rimondi Fountain, Nerantze Mosque and the Archaeological Museum.
Casa Moazzo Suites were renovated with painstaking attention to detail in 2009, and opened as a guesthouse, with six beautiful suites, all of which are styled quite differently.
This historic building has a long tradition as a guesthouse, and previously as a residence to the aristocratic Moazzo family during Venetian times. The arched entrance to the property is one of the finest examples of neo-classical architecture in the old town of Rethymnon, which was under Venetian rule from 1210-1646.
The relaxing courtyard with beautiful architectural shapes, the location in the old town of Rethymnon, the wonderful service and the unique styling are highlights of this property which is rated the number one hotel in the whole of Crete, based on reviews by travellers.
We love the history oozing from the pores of this place, and we love the originality of design in a world full of cookie-cutter hotel rooms. If you are looking for a real Cretan historical and cultural experience, immersed in the atmosphere of the old town, where you can step out into the narrow laneways and absorb the centuries by osmosis, you cannot go past Casa Moazzo Suites.
57 Tobazi Street, Metropolitan Church Square, Rethymnon
Veneto Boutique Hotel - we love the old town of Rethymnon with its winding narrow streets and stone archways. The ochres and browns leave soft colours on the eye and warmth in the heart. So it is with the Veneto. A beautifully restored, characteristic historic building, with only 10 rooms and family-run, the four star Veneto with its atmospheric restaurant is a true Cretan experience right in the heart of old Rethymon town.
Walk to cafes, tavernas and the Venetian Old Harbour.
4 Epimenidou Street, Rethymnon
Rimondi Boutique Hotel - located in the centre of the old town, these
twenty studios rest in a renovated building dating from the 15th
century. The architect owners are justly proud of the results of the
recent renovations, which are beautifully luxurious, with natural stone
features and mosaic courtyard.
So close to the Rimondi Fountain, the Venetian Loggia and
wonderful restaurants and tavernas, ensuring that meandering to dinner is
a real joy.
21 Xanthoudidou Street, Rethymnon
Palazzino di Corina - with only twenty one suites, this traditional Mediterranean mansion is lushly decorated in renaissance style. Located in the twisting narrow picturesque streets of the old town of Rethymnon, with café and the busy Venetian harbour on its doorstep, this is a touch of old world elegance with today’s conveniences. A high quality small accommodation in Crete.
