Rimondi Estate

My husband and I were infatuated with the Rimondi the moment we arrived. We were exceptionally fortunate (and extremely grateful) to be upgraded to a Superior Suite from the Maisonette, however I do not doubt that our stay would have been just as lovely (with perhaps a bit less sun-bathing)! To begin with, we were greeted warmly at the desk, informed of breakfast times, the opportunity to receive welcome drinks and then shown to our room (our luggage was kindly taken upstairs for us). The room left us speechless with how wonderful it was, indeed, "room" doesn't do it justice! The bedroom was huge, with plenty of space for unpacking, large fitted wardrobes perfect for a longer stay, and a large and very comfortable bed. There was a lounge area with a beautiful corner-sofa, coffee table and armchair, a dressing table, and the bathroom had a good-sized shower. The element that really blew our minds was our own outside terrace, which had space for two sunbeds (which received sun from midday til evening) and a table and chairs, decorated with plants which were healthy and colourful (a good sign of consistent upkeep). The hotel buildings were situated on either side of a small avenue and guests could access both courtyards which had ample places to sit and access to pools. Whilst the pool of the Palazzo was smaller, I enjoyed sitting in this courtyard more. The staff were wonderful, warm and professional, nothing was a bother. The breakfast had many options and sitting out in the courtyard was a perfect way to start the day. The Rimondi's location was perfect: within the Old Town but not disturbed by the bustling atmosphere, the gentle hubbub added a lovely flavour to our evenings on the terrace. The harbour was easily accessible and there were great restaurants nearby (we LOVED Raki ba Raki). Rethymno beach was a bit more of a walk but there was a little rocky bay close by that we used every day for swimming and snorkelling. Thank you Rimondi!!!

Location was fantastic very close to restaurants and shops beach about 15/20 walk

The location was excellent as it was right in the middle of the old town but within walking distance of various attractions.

I recently stayed at this hotel and I was very pleased with my experience. The hotel staff was very accommodating and they even upgraded our room which was a nice surprise. The room was beautiful with a lovely terrace and the breakfast was delicious. The staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

The location is great, close to many restaurants, shops and amenities. Although there is no parking on site, you can park at the public car park which is about 5 minute walk at Euro 14 overnight. The hotel service staff is extremely friendly and takes time to explain the hotel's facilities and breakfast menu to us. We were served welcome drink at the pool and a fruit basket in the room. Breakfast is buffet style with a good enough selection. Overall a pleasant stay and at the modest price we paid, it was excellent.
