Words cannot describe how amazing our trip to Chania was. The hotel was clean and welcoming. Eleni and her staff make you feel like part of their family during your stay. The complimentary breakfast spread is one of the best I've ever had. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night overlooking downtown Chania and afternoon swims in the clear clean pool. Eleni and her Monte Vardia family accommodated every need we had....lunch at Gems, advice for day trips, assistance with taxis, and a comfortable/spacious/clean room for an extended vacation. The location was great to get to local attractions or catch a bus for excursions further away. It's a short taxi into the city, but perfect distance for a quiet night. I would happily go back to Monte Vardia and highly recommend it to any type of traveler-couple, family, business--as it was a comfortable setting for all.
