With 30,000 residents Rethymnon is the third largest town on Crete. The port town on the northern coast of the Greek island has a magical Old Town. If you’re planning a vacation to Rethymnon, you should try to find a small typical hotel here. One like the Hotel Leo, for example, with just a few rooms, romantic décor and a long history.
Best location
This small, romantic old town hotel in Rethymnon has an excellent location: in the middle of the heart of the historic town center, just a few steps from the beach and just as close to the beautiful Venetian port of the town. In high season, you’re right at the heart of things here. But also in the low season, when the old town is more peaceful and predominantly occupied by locals, this location has its own unique appeal.
The Hotel Leo in Rethymnon
Behind a listed façade dating back to 1450, hides a place full of historic charm and modern design. The interior of this medieval building has been fully restored and with great attention to detail, from the basement right up to the attic. Today it serves as a romantic hotel with eight spacious double rooms and a beautiful breakfast room café with a next-door bar. A beautiful mix of romance, modern design and nostalgia makes the Leo a honeymoon hotel par excellence.
The guest rooms at the Hotel Leo
The Hotel Leo in Rethymnon can really be proud of every single one of its eight guest rooms. The unique charm of this bed & breakfast hotel is down to its historic architecture, which can be seen everywhere in the form of exposed stones, alcoves in the walls and vaulted ceilings. In addition, all the rooms have been designed very stylishly with a mix of Art Deco and Mediterranean colors. The furniture of the Rethymnon hotel is a collection of lots of beautiful individual pieces - voluminous padded armchairs for reading and relaxing, extravagantly framed mirrors, romantic four-poster beds and nut brown wooden laminate flooring. In similarly beautifully designed bathrooms you can soak in the tub surrounded by exposed stonework.
