About this apartment rental
Dorothy’s Dream is located in one of Chania’s most exquisite national monuments. The 200 sqm residence is on the top floor of the “Palazzo del Rettore”, a building dating from the 14th century with spectacular views of the Chania Venetian Harbour.
Set high on the fortified hill at the heart of the old town, the residence offers spectacular views to the Chania Venetian Harbour including the famous lighthouse, the Maritime Museum of Crete and the Giali Tzami Mosque as well as to the “Big Blue” Aegean Sea from all its northern rooms. Its south and east oriented rooms offer views to the old city and the small “piazza” with the lemon trees connecting the rest of the traditional residences. Its large rooftop terrace enjoys a bird’s eye, 360º unobstructed view to the “White Mountains” of Chania, the Old Harbour and the nearby beaches at the horizon.
There are four rooms:
1. The Rector’s Suite which sleeps 2-4 persons with a king size bed and a bed-sofa which can be converted into two separate single beds. It includes an en-suite bathroom and a private balcony with a superb view of the Venetian Harbour.
2. Dorothy’s Room sleeps 3 persons with one double and one single bed. It has a private balcony and views towards both the Harbor and the White Mountains. It shares a bathroom with the Red Room.
3. The Romantic Room is a spacious room that sleeps 2-4 persons, with a double bed and a single bed that unfolds into two separate single beds. It has an en-suite bathroom and a view to the White Mountains and the Palazzo yard.
4. Need more space? We have one more room which we call the Red Room due to the Sienna colour of its walls. It is a smaller yet very cosy room. With one double bed it can accommodate up to two persons and offers views to the Venetian Harbour, the small backstreets of the old town and the White Mountains. It shares the main bathroom with Dorothy’s Room.
The residence includes a fully equipped kitchen, a living/dining room and exclusive access to the terrace.

We were excited about our stay from just the pictures on VRBO, however, when we arrived it exceeded our wildest dreams! First off, we were greeted by Nikos who was beyond friendly and accommodating. He took time to show us the apartment, prepared some Dakos and other snacks that were delicious, gave us a rundown of the city and many excellent suggestions of places to visit while in Chania. The apartment was central to a very vibrant yet cozy old town area. And the views were exquisite. We will definitely be booking again and recommending to others. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

We had a delightful stay in this historic property. Alexandros and Zoe were extremely responsive. The location is ideal for exploring Chania, and the view of the Venetian Harbour is magical. A few of us went on the sailing trip to Balos and Gramvousa with B Crew Sailing (Ariadne and Vissili) — as recommended by Alexandros. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.

5.0 / 10.0·Aug 2018
We visited in early August 2018. We absolutely loved the home. We had 10 in our group, all family, and everyone enjoyed their stay. The location is great and the views are like no others in Chania. Cousins(life-long Chania residents) that visited us at the house were amazed by the views. Sunset every evening was absolutely beautiful from the terrace.We would highly recommend staying here. We were able to walk to the beach, Nea Chora. We also enjoyed walking to the Market, and many shops and tavernas as well.Zoe, the property manager, was a lovely hostess and gave us helpful information, even though we arrived very late our 1st night.We are all looking forward to staying at Dorothy's Dream again!!!
