Was very nice place in the old town, very close to the beach, and right by a market on Saturday. We had a lovely stay.

The perfect Chania refuge to come home to.
Just a perfect place to call home for our Chania trip. Quite a lot of room to spread out (uncommon for Chania). In a very quiet part of old town (also uncommon as much of Chania can be quite lively into the night) and air conditioning in the bedroom(!) -- sooo appreciated after a long day out and about in the sun. The villa itself is charming - modern but with the old rock walls that add character and history. Just a perfect place to stay. Would definitely stay at the Casa again if/when our path leads us back to the beautiful island of Crete.

Perfect Getaway in Chania
We absolutely loved our stay in this gem of a spot in Old Town Chania. The location was ideal—an easy stroll to all the charming sights, restaurants, and the beautiful Venetian port, yet tucked away just enough to feel peaceful and private. The apartment is tastefully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout, and while we didn’t use the kitchen (the local food was just too good to pass up!), it was clearly well stocked and ready for anything.The rooftop deck was a dream—great for morning coffee or winding down with a glass of wine in the evening. The bed was super comfortable, and the overall amenities made us feel right at home. I’ll admit it took me a minute to find the place at first, but that little challenge was well worth it for the quiet and calm once we settled in.What really set this stay apart, though, was the communication with the host. Hands down the best I’ve ever experienced in any short-term rental. Super responsive, incredibly helpful, and even showed up within minutes when I (oops) locked the keys inside. Just a genuinely nice and attentive host.We only stayed four nights, but we’re already dreaming of coming back for a longer visit. Highly, highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the house in the old town both were beautiful, the only downside was the roof terrace, some comfortable chairs or recliners would give more comfortabke use of the terrace.and a mirror close to a plug. Small additions but quite important. Otherwise all was vesocket.
