Welcome to Barbara Studios, Your Home in Rethymno 

Since 1969, Barbara Studios has been a true Cretan family home, welcoming travelers from all over the world with genuine "Filoxenia." If you want to experience Rethymno like a local, this is where you belong.

Nestled in a stunning 1600s Venetian building, the charm of the Venetian and Ottoman heritage is palpable the moment you step through the door. The architecture and atmosphere have been carefully preserved, offering an authentic blend of Crete's rich history. Our family's tradition of hospitality, passed down for generations, ensures that you feel right at home, surrounded by the love and warmth of Crete—Zeus’ birthplace and the cradle of hospitality.

Our fourth-generation family home offers peaceful accommodations in the heart of Rethymno's magical old town. Whether you're exploring the winding alleys or savoring Cretan cuisine, everything is within a 2-minute walk. Take time to relax on our serene rooftop terrace or in our charming courtyards. Here, you'll truly feel like part of the local life.

We offer rooms, studios, and apartments accommodating up to four people. Most include kitchenettes and traditional furnishings, with modern comforts like air conditioning, TV, and private bathrooms. Some rooms also feature balconies overlooking the courtyard or offer partial sea views.

Perfectly located, Barbara Studios is just steps away from the famous Fortezza Castle and the picturesque Venetian Harbor. Rethymno's sandy beach is only 300 meters away, and a supermarket is conveniently located 30 meters from our door. The bus station and key attractions like the Archaeological Museum are also just a few minutes' walk away.
