This location is great and the house comfortable. We found it a little snug for two but functional with excellent access to walk right into Chania. Our host Panos really added to our trip making excellent suggestions on places to go to avoid the tourists and see some more authentic parts of Crete. We also appreciated his your generosity in sharing some music with us. It was lovely to be part of the local community.

Great location about 15-20 min walk to the old town. Snorkelling beach 50m (lots of fish to see). We even got serenaded by the owner playing a variety of Cretan stringed instruments one evening!

The house has so much character and is so convenient, it had all we needed. There were 3 good restaurants in walking distance and an excellent bakery/coffee shop at the top of the street to the right of the house. Panos, our host was very helpful and entertaining, he played his lyre for us and we enjoyed our conversation! The sea was only steps away, we saw it from the deck. It was a short bus ride or you could walk into Old Town Chania. We highly recommend this rental home, it was hard to leave!

We had an amazing stay here! Our host was absolutely fantastic. He greeted us warmly at the door, gave us a full tour of the home, and was incredibly helpful throughout our visit. On our last night, he even sang and shared a beautiful poem he had written himself, which made the experience unforgettable.The property itself was spotless, private, and perfectly located just outside the busy city, close enough to walk in (about 20 minutes), yet peaceful and relaxing. It’s right beside the sea, with a spectacular spot where locals gather to watch and feel the waves crash. It was such a unique and fun experience!We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. The only small drawback was that the air conditioner on the second floor wasn’t working perfectly, but everything else was wonderful.

We have named this recently renovated, beautiful vintage mini home "Aristokosmos", from the Greek words "ariston" (excellent) + "kosmos" (world/jewel), conducive to the superlative quality this atmospheric, fully detached 19th century home will offer. Its architecture meshes harmoniously with one of the most picturesque and historical neighborhoods of Chania, the old Tabakaria (Tannery factory) district, which is gradually turning into one of the greatest attractions for the discerning guest to the island. The main entrance leads to a cozy ergonomic ground floor with fireplace, fully equipped kitchenette, a sofa which converts into a semi-double bed, dining table and chairs, walk-in shower and toilet, closet, separate laundry-machine area and luggage space under the stone staircase. On the upper floor, the guest is met with the ambience of ceiling beams four meters above a peach pine wooden floor. A Queen-size bed, Smart TV, mini-bar, closet, toilet+shower, a beautifully cozy loft with another semi-double bed and a private sea-view terrace guarantee a most unique experience. No expense has been spared in the decor, quality furnishings, luxury and comfort in this traditional home. However, it should be noted that the sleeping areas are not partitioned with doors. Everything is laid out in open spaces.
Our neighborhood is not only privileged in being in one of the most picturesque seaside historical locations of the city, the tannery district, but also in not having lost the pulse of its initial function, as it hosts the sole surviving traditional tannery, operating under the strictest sanitary conditions in respect of the touristic development of the region. Ιn fact, it is of such significance that schools and agencies organize field trips to visit it. The neighborhood is one of the quietest in town and boasts immediate, walking-distance access to everything a vacationer needs. Beyond this, the city's most famous (not to mention "most picturesque") sea tavern, "Thalassino Ageri", is located a mere 100 meters from the home, where you can dine literally beside the naturally formed sea pool with the unique view of the city outlined by a horizon that provides one of the most breath-taking sunset views. Apart from the cove right in front of your house, within a short walking distance, you can swim at the famous "Kouloura" swim spot - a picturesque, natural pool encircled by rocks frequented by locals and guests alike.
