Terpsis Estate

Chania Town

Set less than 1 km from Koum Kapi Beach and 2.8 km from Nea Chora Beach, Terpsis Estate in Chania Town offers air-conditioned accommodation with views of the garden and free WiFi. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. We had such a great time at Terpsis Estate. The apartment is located in a quiet area, about 20 min walking from the Old Harbor. The neighborhood is very pleasant and there are a few supermarkets and bakeries close. The apartment looks great, is spacious, lovely decorated and very clean. It has a comfortable bed, 2 air conditioning, which is so important during summer, hair dryer and even an ironing machine.The kitchen is equipped with a stove top, a small electric oven, coffee maker and other useful cooking accessories. It has everything you need in order to feel at home. What we appreciated the most was the generosity and kindness of the owner, Nikos, who tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I would recommend anyone who visits Chania to spend their holiday here. It is the perfect place for those who want a relaxing and quiet holiday, while still being close to the city.

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a concierge service, along with free WiFi.

The staff gifted us with a bottle of Prosecco and a traditional Cretan dessert as a welcome. The room was absolutely perfect in size and design aesthetic. We had a pool and hot tub, which was great for the warmer day weather and the cooler evenings. We loved the place and didn’t want to leave! This place is truly special!

The staff ladies were soon departing and we enquired about leaving our luggage until check-in at 3:00. Surprisingly, our room was ready, so we were given early access … a delight. The room was well-appointed, very up-to-date and very comfortable.

Monastery Estate Venetian Harbor 5 stars

Chania Old Town, Chania Town

Housed in a 16th-century mansion, in Chania Old Town, Monastery Estate Venetian Harbor boasts a spa centre with an original Turkish hammam and an indoor pool surrounded by stone walls and Venetian arches. Guests can enjoy Cretan cuisine cooked with a modern twist, at the elegantly decorated restaurant. I can't rave enough about this place. Superb location, two minutes walk from the central square and harbor, yet quiet with no traffic. The room was spacious and had more amenities than could put to good use. Super comfortable and clean. The staff is gracious and helpful. The "free breakfast" doesn't begin to describe the wonderful meal to get you through the whole day. We went in October, when the crowds were down, the sun was just right, and the price was far below the tourist season.

Scalarea Estate Residences

Skalánion

Offering a garden, Scalarea Estate Residences offers accommodation in Skalánion. Heraklio Town is 9 km from the property.

The accommodation features a satellite flat-screen TV. Some units are air conditioned and include a seating and/or dining area. There is a private bathroom with a shower in every unit. Towels and bed linen are featured. The place was immaculate. Clean and stunningly beautiful. There are only 3 cottages but I think that night, my husband and I were the only guests. We loved the peaceful setting and appreciated all the details that the owner put into it. Breakfast was delicious! This was our favorite place in Crete. We would highly recommend a stop there on your way to nearby Knossos palace or Heraklion.
