The second and third bedroom, both consists of a double bed, a vanity table/desk, closets and ensuite bathrooms. All bedrooms are air-conditioned!

We have designed our house in such a way so we can offer a relaxing stay for all our guests. We are demanding travelers ourselves and know what a person needs so he/she can enjoy their vacations. Our aim by building and designing our home was to satisfy all senses. We humbly believe that we managed to reach our goal. The habitat of a home has to be elegant, clean and uncluttered, easy to navigate and use with everything a modern person may need for a satisfying and safe stay.

This 5-star listing is a product of hard work. We are more than certain that you will have a great time but also respect our place as if it is your own home! :)

We are located at an area, steps away from the Venetian Harbor.
In seconds you will wander around the narrow alleys of the old town, meet locals and people of the area, find out about our history and multicultural heritage, discover great restaurants or cafes to sit by the port or into secret narrow alleys to enjoy your time in the best way possible and experience life the way locals do!

We are seconds away from the Old Market, the Venetian harbor and lighthouse and also at a very short walking distance from the central bus station.

Chania has a natural, privileged, well-protected beauty. Sleepless guardians to the south stand the gigantic Madares mountains (Lefka Ori - White Mountains) in all their indestructible, panoramic glory.

To the north stretches the multi-colored immensity of the Cretan Sea, with some of the most beautiful beaches in the whole world. And all around lies its land, scarlet and green-haired, sown with wild silver gorges. A land that seems to be made flesh, so spirited and alive that you hesitate to tread on it.

All this beauty explains why Chania is a place full of history where different civilizations have flourished. From the Arabs to the Venetians, to the Egyptians and the Turks, all wished to control Chania, all have left their signature on the multicultural character and the architecture of the city and all of it is literally on your front step!

The Old Venetian town with its maze-like alleys and its 15th-century mansions will mesmerize you. The ancient world coexists with the medieval and the modern world in the city of Chania. And everything flourishes under the blue sky and the sun that always shines. This is the place where history is created, at the island of Crete, the birthplace of Zeus and 'Philoxenia'.

Perfect Location but needs an upgrade
Superbly located in that it is not far from the old town and is very close to the beach as well as being in a quiet residential area. Has potential but needs a simple makeover. Bedroom are the only air conditioned area....cool air is also needed in the living areas when it is very hot. The living room is small with the oversized sofa taking up a large portion of the area. Get rid of the rusty shower caddy in one bathroom and replace the drainer on the sink. Reorganise the kitchen cupboards so that there is some order. Throw out the chipped plate....noone wants to eat off it. 2 wine glasses aren't enough for 4. Train the existing grape vine on the terrace to give shade for outdoor dining during summer. The old bulky brown furniture adds nothing to the appeal especially the wardrobe which probably never get used but just takes up space. Better mattress would also help as they were very hard and poor quality. Upgrade it, charge and more we would be back. And change the meet and greet person who was objectionable. I'm sure Grandma would not be impressed with the reception that we received.

Nice flat but terrible experience.
The property was nice and as described. However, there was a construction project happening on the next block which meant that we were woken at 7.30 am every morning apart for Sunday with very loud drilling. When we asked the owner about it he pretended he did not know about it even though his parents live upstairs. The dirt and noise from the building site meant that we could not use the terrace most of the time. On the fourth day we saw a mouse in the bedroom. The owner came and placed traps. In the middle of the following night we were woken because a.mouse had been caught and was making a noise. We had to dispose of the mouse and at the same time when we moved the furniture to access it, a large cockroach came out. As a result of this, combined with the building noise, we had no good rest for the last 3 days.

A great place to stay
It really was like being in a Greek home. The few things we needed were attended to quickly. We ran out of coffee which is graciously provided, and voila they went and got us more! They provided needed extras like olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and sugar making cooking easy. It is a perfect neighborhood for exploring Chania and the rest of Crete as well. There is so much to do from swimming nearby to exploring the city walls and lighthouse, and museums, all easy walking distance! We also very much enjoyed the neighborhood kitties!

A Great House and Location
This house is has everything you could want for a wonderful holiday in a beautiful area. The house is comfortable, spacious and has all the amenities you could need, and is within very close walking distance of the old city. The owners could not have been more helpful: arrival and check in was quick and simple, and we were left to enjoy the holiday, knowing that they were always available should the need arise. I could not recommend Grandma's Chic Home, the owners, the location and the town of Chania highly enough. Thank you for a great stay.
