The hotel is very beautiful, making a studio more thoughtful.
The hotel is very friendly and is very friendly.
Breakfast varied (it is not a buffet, it serves you with the furer as appropriate)
Canada is at 20-25min in car (Parking to my beach is quite practical)
There is a monastery (3€) near the hotel, another (the same price) deeper in Canea, they are very beautiful and well restored
Balos beach is very beautiful (most from the point of view) but everything is paying (1€/person for an unnecessary road, 3€ for a parking more than average), the upwards are hard, but it's worth it!
There is also the beach of Falasarna where the sunset is incredible.
If you enjoy a short few nights stay near Chania with lots of kittens, this is your spot! However, amenities are quite hard to get in the neighbourhood as the neighbouring markets are closed around 9pm. Parking does not come easy either, as they are limited to first come first serve basis. But overall, service is amazing as they provide instructions for late check-in (even during midnight)
We stayed here with my mom for one night, and we were absolutely delighted with this hotel. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was special. The location is perfect—set in a peaceful village, just a one-minute walk to a wide, spacious beach with easy access to the water.
The room was spotless, freshly renovated, and even smelled pleasant. We had a large balcony with a table, and everything was so clean that when we wiped the table, there wasn’t even a trace of dust. The attention to detail in the cleaning was truly impressive.
The owner was wonderful to meet—so kind, welcoming, and generous. He treated us to fresh fruit and shared many helpful tips about the area, making our stay feel extra personal and warm. Breakfast was another highlight: homemade, delicious, and prepared with so much care.
This hotel completely won us over—the location, the atmosphere, the hospitality, everything was perfect. We already dream of coming back and staying longer.
