About this house rental
A whole historic house for up to six guests, in the quiet heart of Chania's old town: 65 m² on two floors, two air-conditioned bedrooms, its own private inner courtyard and a patio upstairs.
Perfect for families and groups of friends. The large bedroom has two double beds, one of them on the open gallery, and the second bedroom one double bed. All beds are 160 cm wide. On the ground floor you'll find the living room with kitchen and fireplace, and the bathroom.
History
Built by the Venetians about 500 years ago as part of a monastery right behind the old port, the house was later used by the Turks as a residence; they added the typical wooden oriel to the smaller upstairs room. A century ago, Greek refugees from Smyrna settled in the Splantzia quarter. Our Greek-German family bought the house in a desolate condition and lovingly restored it, keeping its original style, stone floors and charm.
Outdoor living
The most beautiful room of the house is its own private inner courtyard, shaded by vine and bougainvillea. Upstairs, the inner patio under a vine arbor has an open-air shower and room for a siesta. Koum Kapi city beach and the Venetian harbour are only 150 m away, the village-like Splantzia Square with its tavernas just around the corner.

This is a lovely 500-year old historic property in a very convenient location in Old town Chania. Walking to everything worked perfectly, including the Venetian harbor, lunch and breakfast in the square a few steps away, and dinner anywhere. Staying here is to take a step back in time. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The owner has a history of the house from the Venetians to the Turks to their Greek-German updating. Covered patio with privacy wall and gorgeous iron fence covered in bright Bougainvillea is perfect for morning coffee and evening wine.
Bedrooms were nice size and comfy beding. Located in one of the most historic areas of Old Town next to St. Nickolas Church. Every thing in Old Town is within 6 minutes walk, so perfect location for exploring, shopping, eating out, etc.I highly recommend this property. The managers are super friendly and helpful. They made the stay even nicer.

This property is clean orderly had great beds and bedding and is in an amazing old neighborhood. It is a bit tricky to find and mapping does not account for the intricacies of the one way streets. I would highly recommend cars rented to access it be small. In chilly weather when the outdoors area isn’t really useful the family area is small. Overall it is exactly as advertised.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2022
The house is located within the old section of Chaniá where you can get some sense of what life might have been like in previous eras and still enjoy comfortable amenities of modern living. One can relax or read and have meals in a shaded outdoor space, a rarity for the neighborhood where there are many cafés but few green parks to relax. We were happy that Michalis shared his family place with us.
