Top Boutique Hotels in Rethymno Town

Mythos Suites occupies a 16th-century Venetian building in Rethymno's old town, about 100 metres from the Venetian Harbour and a sandy beach. Families can walk to the sea and back for a swim in the courtyard pool. Studios and rooms have private balconies or terraces, and studios give a little extra room for a family. A spa and wellness area completes the picture. I would suggest it for families with older children who enjoy old streets as much as the beach.

La Montre Luxury Boutique Suites is a central address in Rethymno Town, a short walk from Rethymno Beach and close to the Archaeological Museum and the Venetian Harbour. The suites are air-conditioned, soundproofed and have private bathrooms and free WiFi. Guests rate it 9.7 from 387 reviews. I would choose it for couples and travelers who want to explore the old town on foot from a quiet, comfortable base.

Grande Madonna Luxury Boutique Suites sits in central Rethymno Town, within reach of the Venetian Harbour and the Archaeological Museum, so a family can mix sightseeing with short walks back to rest. Suites have fully equipped kitchens, which makes meals with children simple. Outside there is a sun terrace, a garden and a hot tub. Free WiFi and private check-in and check-out keep arrivals easy. I would book it for families who want suite space and a kitchen in the town centre.

SAVUS Boutique Hotel is adults-only, so families with children cannot book it; it suits couples and adult relatives on a trip together. It sits in Rethymno Town, a short walk from Rethymno Beach and the Venetian Harbour. Rooms are air-conditioned, with private bathrooms, city views, free WiFi and a balcony or terrace each. A sun terrace, outdoor seating, a hot tub and a spa bath give a place to rest after the beach. I would choose it for a quiet adults-only base near the harbour.

BIO BEACH Boutique Hotel is an adults-only, four-star hotel in Rethymno Town with direct beachfront access and sea views, so it is not for families with children. It has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool and spa facilities, including a steam room and a hot tub. The restaurant serves Greek, local and European cuisines with various dietary options. Guests rate it 9.5 from 297 reviews. I would choose it for couples who want a beach and a spa together.

Pepi Boutique Hotel is adults-only, so families travelling with children cannot book it; it suits couples and groups of adult relatives instead. It sits in Rethymno Old Town, surrounded by restaurants and bars, with easy access to the beach. An outdoor pool with sunbeds and showers gives a calm break between walks. Each room has a coffee corner with a fridge, free WiFi and a smart TV. I would choose it for an adults-only stay inside the Old Town.

Omiros Boutique Hotel is adults-only, so families with children cannot stay; it works for couples and adult relatives travelling together. It sits in Rethymno Town about 150 metres from the beach. An outdoor pool, a snack bar and spa and wellness facilities fill the time between swims. Rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi, and most have a furnished balcony or terrace. I would book it for a calm adults-only beach stay with the town within reach.

Menta City Boutique Hotel in Rethymno Town has spacious, soundproofed rooms with balconies or terraces and kitchenettes, useful for snacks and simple meals with children. Bathrooms have hydromassage showers. Families can cool off in the seasonal outdoor pool, and breakfast is served on the rooftop. Parents have a gym, a bar and a small spa centre with a spa bath. I would recommend it to families who want a town base with a pool and a kitchenette.

Mansio Boutique Hotel offers family rooms in Rethymno Town, close to Rethymno Beach and the Venetian Harbour, so a day can mix sand and an evening walk along the old port. The outdoor pool is open all year, which helps outside the summer months, and there is also a hot tub and a sun terrace. The traditional Greek restaurant on site saves a search for dinner after a long day. I would ask for a family room when booking.
