We stayed at the Venetian House for a week in late October and really enjoyed it. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Chania, close to the harbour and just off of Daskalogianni, a street with great “non-touristy” restaurants. The Venetian aspect of the house (i.e. tall and skinny) makes it a bit quirky, with the kitchen (which is well equipped) and bathroom (with washing machine) on the main level and the bedroom two floors up, but the pictures and description show this so it is exactly as advertised. The roof terrace is amazing and we planned our days around being on it for morning coffee and late-afternoon cocktails. Efi is very nice and responsive and even left us a bottle of wine and some olives. We highly recommend this house!

Excellent communication and check in process. Absolutely perfect location, only a 5 minute walk to the water and many great bars and restaurants. Parking can be really tough, but I found the large parking area Efi recommended to be fine. The kitchen and bath on the bottom floor are good. The kitchen is well stocked. Bathroom is small but the shower worked well. The second floor is like the living area and has comfortable couches. The next level up is the bedroom which is very comfortable, and from there you take a short flight of steps up to the terrace which is amazing. Just incredible views of the city and water. Overall the house is a wonderful place to stay. There are two points to consider. One is that you take two flights of stairs down to the bathroom if you get up during the night. The other is there is no air conditioning. It was fine the first two days, but when the temp hit 90F it got pretty warm. There are fans on the upper two floors, but I guess I am used to having air and got warm. It was absolutely my fault I didn't notice that when I booked as location of the bathroom and lack of air are mentioned several times in the reviews. Despite these two personal drawbacks, we had a wonderful trip to Chania!

If you are looking for a townhouse in a great location then you will not go far wrong choosing to stay at the Venetian Town House. When we arrived (after getting lost - which is very easy in Chania), Efi was there to meet us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. We did have a problem finding the house which was mainly my fault so please make sure you do your homework beforehand. You may also find parking difficult although we were lucky and managed to finding a space relatively close - that is where the car then stayed all week. Chania with its history, location, bars, restaurants and shops is a place you must visit. Although situated in a very quiet street the house is perfectly located within short walking distance of all the hustle and bustle. Please also be aware that the house is over 4 levels if you include the superb roof terrace - so plenty of stairs. This was not a problem for us but could be for some people. Thankyou Efi was letting us stay at your charming house - we had a really great week in Chania.

We just finished a wonderful seven night stay at the Venetian House. This property is located in a very quiet neighbourhood of the Old Town. It is on a dead end so there is minimal traffic. The house is sparkling clean and beautifully furnished. The artwork and decorations are contemporary and tasteful. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom quite roomy in comparison to some older properties. We were within easy walking distance of all our favourite old town taveras. Efi, our host, was very helpful and easy to contact. Something that we did not understand from the listing is that the house is on three levels plus the rooftop deck. The bathroom is on the kitchen level, and the bedroom two circular flights of stairs up. The rooftop deck is wonderful and shaded with two loungers and two upright chairs, a table and canvas covered shaded area. However, the hatch cover is at the top of a flight of stairs and is very heavy to lift open. A visitor with mobility issues or one who is not strong enough to lift that cover could be disappointed.

The house was delightful. Each floor held one room, all simply but tastefully decorated. The roof terrace was such a bonus. To be able to sit or lounge in the sun in October and sip a glass of chilled white wine was a winner! Chania is a great place to wander. The atmospheric streets, the pretty harbour, the range of cafés for breakfast and restaurants for dinner was amazing. We will definitely think about returning.

The house is set over three floors plus a great roof terrace. It is ideally situated for shops, restaurants and the beautiful harbours in a quiet location. We found the property very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The owner was very easy to deal with and the booking process went very smoothly.
