This hotel is fantastic! The location is perfect for walking around the old town. As always in these ancient towns, parking can be sporting. However, here, simply drop your bags nearby or at the hotel and look for a place. We found a free parking space quite easily and it was a very busy day. Just drive around the fortress. Our room was perfect. Clean and a great shower. The owners are lovely. Restaurants nearby have the best of Cretan cooking. Highly recommend.

Lovely family property with beautiful communal area including a lovely garden. Family live on site and are available daily to support guests. The property is well maintained and rooms are regularly cleaned and linen/towels changed. The property is well located and just minutes walk from both the old town and Venetian harbour. The family are super friendly and helpful.

Nice place to stay in Old Town Rethymno

A great location on the northeast edge of the old town and very close to (paid) parking lot. It's clean, quiet and convenient to everything in old town. This time we stayed on the ground floor which you might prefer if you have trouble climbing stairs.

Barbara Studios is amazing! Our apartment was exactly what we needed, a home away from home, with a sea view from our private balcony - we were upgraded from a ground floor apartment to top floor so that we had the balcony. The property is bigger than expected but the layout ensures privacy at all times. Fantastic location, a short stroll to the old town and the beach is just up the road. We already want to go back!

Excellent interaction with Panos, a nice, amiable guy who simply aims to please. The place is clean, very well kept up, pleasant, comfortable, and located just steps from the beautiful Venetian port. Panos has honest, helpful suggestions for local dining and activities. A wonderful place to stay.

Wonderful time in a picture perfect spot

A charming, cosy place within easy walking distance of all sights, restaurants and transport. Run by a lovely friendly couple with very nice staff.Balcony room was beautiful and little extras such as topping up coffee and sweet treats further added to this delightful experience. Smells lovely too. Highly recommended.

Perfect getaway

After a long journey, Panos’ welcome was just what we needed! Beautiful, clean mezzanine studio with everything we could need, including a well-equipped kitchenette. The only drawback was that we were only there for 2 nights and would have loved to have stayed longer to explore the area more.

Authentic old builfing in great location

Authentic old venetian/ottoman/cretian home that is located in the heart of the city. Our host Panos greeted us warmly and gave us information about the old city. It is a bit confusing finding the hotel the first time because it is loacted in a short street near a catholic church and cannot be accessed by car. We had no trouble finding parking on the adjacent street- and there are also other free parking lots close by. I would recommend the meze restaurants near the old mosque. They have great authentic food. All in all, Rethymno is a beautiful city and Barbara studios is ideally suited to enhance your experience!

Great find and best location

Absolutely loved to stay at Barbara's studios, the ouse itself is beautiful and you feel as if you are a local in their garden. The location is superb, walking distance to the old port, the fortezza and all the lovely streets of the old city. The owners are the best, so nice and friendly and happily recommend the best places to see and eat to avoid the tourists traps. Would love to stay there again in the future!

Excellent Location in old town Rethymno

The proprietor is friendly and accommodating. The location is very convenient, except for navigating the narrow 'streets' and finding parking. The free parking offered by Barbara Studios is actually public parking several blocks away (which is in fact disclosed in the directions for finding it). There is pay parking about a block away which can be had for €8 day if you pay in advance for multiple days. The pay parking also makes it a little easier to come and go.
