Map & location


Rethymnon – Heraklion, Crete (Heraklion Area), Greece

This is one of those stays where you open the door straight into a postcard. Rimondi Boutique Hotel sits right in the heart of Rethymnon’s Old Town, among bougainvillaea-draped mansions, tiny churches and centuries‑old stone archways.

Wander just a few steps and you are on the waterfront promenade, with the Venetian harbour to one side and the long town beach stretching away on the other. It is perfect if you like to explore on foot: tavernas, cafés, boutiques, galleries and historic sights are all around you, from the Fortezza fortress on the hill to the lively market stalls that appear around the port in the evenings.

  • Shops, bars & restaurants 50m
  • Waterfront & Venetian harbour 100m
  • Small harbour‑side sandy beach 200m
  • Start of main Rethymnon beach 350m
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 2 hours 30 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s heart is its charming courtyard, where an outdoor freshwater pool is framed by stone walls, arches and greenery – more private townhouse than large resort. Sunbeds cluster around the water, and complimentary towels are provided so you can travel light.

When you fancy the sea, it is a short stroll to a small sandy patch by the harbour, or a few minutes further to the long, organized town beach, where you will find more sunbeds, umbrellas and water‑sports (local charges and seasonal operation apply).

Spa, sports & wellness


Rimondi Boutique Hotel leans into relaxation rather than a long list of activities. A small spa area offers a traditional Turkish bath and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum ages: 12 years for spa, 18 years for beauty).

There is no dedicated sports programme, but the concierge can help you arrange local experiences – think fortress visits, wine tasting, hiking in the countryside or boat trips along the coast.

Other facilities include:
• Spa with Turkish bath* and massage treatments* (seasonal; min age 12)
• Beauty treatments* (seasonal; min age 18)
• Reception with concierge service and luggage storage
• Free Wi‑Fi throughout

*Facilities, dates and opening times are based on the previous season and can be subject to change; charges apply where indicated.

Food & drink

Breakfasts here are taken by the pool or in the airy main restaurant, where Cretan flavours and local produce take centre stage. The à la carte restaurant serves Greek cuisine with some show‑cooking touches, ideal for starting lazy days in the courtyard or fuelling up before a day exploring the lanes.

Later on, the cosy lobby bar pours local, international and premium drinks from late morning through to the evening – an inviting spot for a pre‑dinner aperitif before heading out to sample Rethymnon’s excellent tavernas.

Please note that a smart dress code may apply and restaurant/bar facilities can vary by season and board. Reservations may be required and supplements may apply depending on the arrangement; details are based on the previous season and may change. What All Inclusive typically includes.
