Old Town Gallery, Rethymno Town Overview
Old Town Gallery is a self-catering stay in Rethymno Town, Greece, positioned at 27 Vivylaki for travelers who want to be close to the town’s historic lanes while still having space to unwind. This holiday home suits families, small groups, and couples who prefer a home base with practical comforts, including air conditioning for warm afternoons and a non-smoking environment throughout. Guests also mention the value of having private check-in and check-out, especially when arriving at different times. After a day of sightseeing, the living areas make it easy to reset, and the outdoor furniture supports relaxed downtime when the weather is kind. For days when everyone wants to stay in, board games and puzzles help keep children and adults entertained without needing a full outing.
Reviewers commonly highlight the thoughtful touches that make the stay feel lived-in, including complimentary fruits on arrival. The layout is designed for real routines: there’s luggage storage to help you settle quickly, and an ironing service for those who need to look sharp after travel. If you’re planning to explore on foot, you’ll be within roughly 1.2 km of Rethymno Fortress and about 1 km of the Municipal Garden, with the Venetian Harbour area also within easy reach. Rethymno Beach is around 1.7 km away, so you can balance beach time with evenings back in town. Overall, Old Town Gallery works best for guests who want a calm, practical base in Rethymno Town rather than a hotel schedule, and who enjoy mixing local walks with downtime at home.
