Barbara Studios
The Barbara Studios, a Cretan family home since 1969, welcomes travelers from around the world with genuine Greek hospitality. Housed in a 17th-century Venetian building, guests are immersed in the rich history and architecture of Rethymno's old town. The exotic scents and magnificent details, reminiscent of the merchants and lords who once resided within these walls, create a unique atmosphere. This peaceful haven is ideal for exploring the picturesque alleys, enjoying Cretan cuisine, and experiencing local life. Rooms, studios, and apartments accommodate up to four guests and feature traditional furnishings. Most units offer kitchenettes, air conditioning, TVs, refrigerators, and private bathrooms, while some boast balconies with courtyard or partial sea views. Located in the heart of the old town, the hotel is mere steps from the Fortezza castle and the Venetian Harbor. With museums, attractions, restaurants, and cafes within a two-minute walk, guests can truly immerse themselves in the Cretan lifestyle, enjoying the rooftop terrace and charming patios and courtyards.
