We had a great stay here at “the Well” and would recommend it to anyone
Eltha was a fantastic host during our stay in Chania. Eltha was very responsive and helpful when new stricter Covid-19 regulations suddenly kicked in for Chania.
I think the house is actually better than the pictures give credit, so I’ll try to give a detailed description here:
The property is a whole house. It’s located 10 min walk from the old town and less than 5 min walk from the beach with restaurants, bars and mini-markets. There’s a butcher, fishmonger, greengrocer and baker (all very good) less than 10 min walk and a big supermarket (Synka) within 15min from the house in the same directions as the other shops.
The house is situated in a cul desac off a quiet road. At the front door theres is a garden hose to wash off sand from your beach trip.
Ground floor has high ceilings and is split into two areas: kitchen and living room. Both rooms are well equiped and good size. The two rooms are split by a lovely stone wall and the entire groundfloor is covered in nice red tiles, keeping the room cool. At the back there is a little outdoor space/garden, which is in the shade most of the day, so pleasant to sit in.
The top floor has three good sized rooms: two with double beds and one with a single. All rooms have plenty of storage. My biggest concern seeing the photos on airbnb, was that the rooms we’re under the roof and therefore with a low ceiling- but that’s not the case. The lowest end of the rooms has about 2m headroom, so plenty of space. The first floors also has a nice bathroom with shower and washing machine.
To conclude, the whole house is very well equiped and with aircon in all rooms.
So I’d very much recommend this place to anyone planning to go to Chania!
