This boutique hotel is converted from the ruins of an old monastery on a hillside overlooking the quieter section of the Vienna harbor. It has an amazing location if you want to be in the heart of old town Chania but still enjoy the peace and quiet.
My husband and I stayed in Frida room which is stylishly designed by Vagelis himself. We particularly love the natural wood features! There is a living area, bedroom and bathroom. The photos are very accurate.
Frida room has a window with a view of the ocean but the window is quite small so the idea of sitting indoors while enjoying the view would not quite work. This did not bother us at all since we were mostly wandering outside and if we wanted to relax with a view we could easily go to the courtyard where there is an opening towards the harbor. The courtyard is not private however and tourists wander in now and then to take photos.
Vagelis greeted us with a welcome treat and showed us a map of Chania with recommended restaurants. He also helped us look into buses to visit the Samaria Gorge. We were very grateful for his help.
House cleaning is provided every day and towels are refreshed. There is also a small fridge but no washer dryer (more typical of a hotel than an Airbnb).
This was perfect for our honeymoon and we would love to return and check out the other rooms here if we return to Chania!
