The story

The building anchors everything here: a character property in Chania Old Town, its walls carrying a story that spans five centuries, part of the Chania Town Hotels group. Seven rooms sit within it, arranged around the streets that encircle the Old Venetian Harbour, so the scale stays intimate rather than institutional.

Rooms range from a Deluxe Double to a King Suite with Balcony, a Deluxe Suite with Spa Bath and a Junior Suite with Balcony. City views come with soundproof windows, and the hotel notes separate toilets in the rooms. Bathrooms are fitted with a spa bath, open shower, bidet and hairdryer. Breakfast runs wide — continental, full English, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and buffet options all feature.

The address does the heavy lifting: 350 ft (110 m) from the centre of Chania Town and a six-minute walk to the Old Venetian Harbour, with the nearest beach 590 m (1,950 ft) away. Chania International Airport lies 13 km off per the property, and an airport shuttle is available. A composed base for exploring the old town on foot.
