Fodor's Expert Review Rimondi Boutique Hotel
Xanthoudidou 21, Rethymnon, Crete, 74100, Greece
Step through the heavy 16th-century wooden door of this hotel and you are transported to an oasis of civility away from the bustle of Rethymnon's busy streets, where two buildings split by a pretty pedestrian alleyway house some of the most sumptuous rooms in town. The owners are architects and it shows—contemporary chic furnishings are allied to carefully selected antiques to offer a superbly comfortable and elegant stay. A dramatic courtyard pool with a palm tree in each corner is a smart place to while away the hours, day or night.
PROS
- loving restoration of Venetian property is full of historical detail
- tranquil, quiet atmosphere
- garden areas with pools are a delight
CONS
- some split-level suites with stairs
- rooms in the modern annex are less attractive
- parking is a five-minute walk away
