We loved our stay at Casa Leone and the room was even better than the pictures, with beautiful high ceilings.
The property is very quiet, and despite neighbouring apartments, there is a lot of privacy with everyone having an entire floor to themselves and private entrance.
The beach, tavernas and mini golf are just a few minutes’ walk away in Stalos, and travel into Chania is only 20 mins on a straight coastal road. There is also a bus and a taxi is around 24 euro.
Nikoc was an excellent host and helped us arrange everything from access to a nearby gym to scooter rental (If possible, I would really recommend this instead of a car, as traffic in Chania can be quite heavy).
The wifi was fast but not very stable in our room. It would only be an issue if you needed to work.
My partner and I considered this excellent value for money, and have no hesitation recommending it if you’re looking for a base just outside Chania city centre.
