Thalassa Boutique Hotel

About this hotel

The building began life as the summer residence of a local Turkish lord. It now holds split-level apartments, sound-proofed and generously sized, looking toward the Venetian castle and the old town of Rethymno. Air conditioning, a fridge and a TV come as standard, and WiFi is free. Sand starts at the door. A terrace faces the water, the swimming pool has a hot tub beside it, and there is a private beach area for guests, who must be adults. Massage treatments can be booked on site. Mornings begin with a rich breakfast. The bar-restaurant 7 Thalasses cooks traditional Cretan alongside International dishes, and through the summer the beachfront restaurant turns to fresh fish, served within sight of the sea. Staff handle ticket bookings and arrange car, motorbike or bicycle rental, and a 16-hour currency exchange service runs on site. Rethymno Town lies 1.2 mi away; the Municipal Library is a 10-minute walk, the Municipal Park 20.
