Boutique Hotel
Old-world architecture meets restrained contemporary luxury. White-on-white interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and plenty of natural light. No gym, no big-name restaurant — the focus is light, space, and the poolside courtyard. Romantic but not fussy.

Why It Matters
Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Located inside a 16th-century Venetian building in a UNESCO-recognized old town. Rated 4.9/5 from 930+ TripAdvisor reviews, 4.7/5 on SLH. The dual-property concept means guests can choose between two very different atmospheres under one booking.
Rimondi Boutique Hotel is two separate historic properties sharing one name in the heart of Rethymno's Venetian Old Town. Rimondi Estate has the garden pool, the jacuzzis, the spa suites — it's the quieter, more romantic side. Palazzo Rimondi wraps around a cobblestone courtyard with a circular pool and a lively bar. Both buildings date partially to the Venetian occupation (1200–1600 AD), and the stone walls, arched doorways, carved ceilings, and picture windows are the real thing — not a renovation aesthetic.
