Staying at Barbara Studios was like staying with family. Hint: Barbara and her husband live in the front and their daughter Iro is taking care of the guests. Our room was gorgeous and cozy. There are small little details everywhere and you can see and feel the love they put into it. We really enjoyed our stay and will come back for sure <3

Nice place to stay in Old Town Rethymno

A great location on the northeast edge of the old town and very close to (paid) parking lot. It's clean, quiet and convenient to everything in old town. This time we stayed on the ground floor which you might prefer if you have trouble climbing stairs.

Lovely family property with beautiful communal area including a lovely garden. Family live on site and are available daily to support guests. The property is well maintained and rooms are regularly cleaned and linen/towels changed. The property is well located and just minutes walk from both the old town and Venetian harbour. The family are super friendly and helpful.

Quiet, comfortable stay in Old Town Rethymno

We have stayed here before and it's a quiet, clean and very convenient place to visit old town Rethymno. The location is on the edge of the pedestrian-only zone, and close to the (paid) parking lot at the port. There is good Internet and air conditioning, and a kitchenette too. Our host Iro is very friendly, accessible and responsive to any problems. Our room this time was up two long flights of stairs (and a steep staircase to the loft bedroom). So if you have trouble climbing, you may want to book one on the ground floor :) We'll definitely stay here again!

Emplacement idéal à Rethymno

Accueil extra chaleureux par Iro, qui tient cette affaire de famille. Personnalité riche, dans cet immeuble ancien plein de charme, très bien situé près de tous les lieux intéressants de Rethymno, dans un secteur calme derrière un très bon restaurant. Notre chambre en rez-de-chaussée était calme et fonctionnelle. Nous avons apprécié l’eau chaude et la pression suffisante de l’eau, les petites attentions et toutes les informations mises à disposition. Le rapport qualité prix est excellent. Le roof top avec une vue imprenable sur la ville, un plus très appréciable.

Warmherziger Empfang und tolle persönliche Betreuung durch Gastgeberin während des gesamten Aufenthalts. Das Gebäude ist sehr alt und hat ein tolles Flair mit lauschigen Ecken, in denen man gemütlich sitzen kann. Einrichtung des Studios modern und Studio sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Toller Blick von der Dachterrasse über die Stadt. Wir sind sicher, dass wir wieder kommen.

Barbara Studios is amazing! Our apartment was exactly what we needed, a home away from home, with a sea view from our private balcony - we were upgraded from a ground floor apartment to top floor so that we had the balcony. The property is bigger than expected but the layout ensures privacy at all times. Fantastic location, a short stroll to the old town and the beach is just up the road. We already want to go back!

Meget fornøyd med oppholdet!

Oppholdet på Barbara Studios var over all forventning. Beliggenheten er helt ypperlig, midt i gamlebyen men i en rolig gate så det var ikke noe støy fra omgivelsene. Rommet hadde høy standard og det var rent og ryddig både på rommet og resten av hotellet. Servicen var 10/10. Panos var fleksibel og imøtekommende, og ga oss gode anbefalinger til hva vi kunne gjøre i Rethymno. Vi kommer definitivt til å dra tilbake til Barbara Studios.
