Old Town House near the Beach, Rethymno Town

Old Town House near the Beach is a small, family-friendly stay in Rethymno Town, Greece, placed on Mesologiou 3 where the pace of the old streets meets the sea. With a guest rating of 9.8/10 from six reviews, it’s the kind of place people describe as calm and easy to live in, especially for travellers who want to base themselves in the centre rather than drive every day. Check-in runs from 3:00 PM to midnight, and check-out is at 11:00 AM, so it suits both short breaks and longer stays.

The location is the headline: you’re about 100 meters from the beach and within walking distance of major sights, including Fortezza Castle (around 1 km) and the Venetian Harbour area (roughly 0.1 km). Guests also tend to mention how straightforward it is to step out for everyday essentials and evening meals without needing transport.

Inside, air conditioning helps you reset after a hot day, while the terrace gives you a place to slow down. The shared lounge/TV area and shared kitchen are particularly useful for families or groups who prefer flexible meal times and a bit of togetherness. Non-smoking rooms, non-smoking throughout, and allergy-free room options add comfort for travellers with sensitivities.

This is best for families and road-trip friendly guests who want a practical, central base—close to the waterfront and historic landmarks—while still having space to relax between outings.
