A warm and welcoming local hotel. Very spacious rooms and authentically charming. The opposite of a corporate hotel. Located in the heart of the old town. Important note; there is no parking near any hotel in the old town. Street parking is a 15 minute walk

This property is amazing! We loved our stay here. The room was authentically Greek with beautiful furnishings and the bed was so comfortable. The small attention to detail really makes this property one of a kind! The balcony was our favourite place to enjoy breakfast or a before/after dinner drink. There is a beautiful rooftop terrace as well. The location was close to everything but like most properties in old town Chania, there is no parking close by. The streets are not accessible by car so if you have a rental you will need to find a spot (

We travel a fair amount and have never been taken care of so well. The owner greeted us warmly, gave us an overview (and a map!) of the neighbourhood with the best places to shop and eat. The room was impeccable, well-appointed and had all amenities one would expect plus extras. We had a lovely stay and an to come back to Crete with friends and stay at Palazzo di Pietro again. Efcaristo!

Historic palazzo

The Venetian history of the building is incredible. The room was comfortable and beautifully decorated. Location is perfect for exploring Chania. The advice of our host for things to do and see never missed the mark. The only negative was car parking. You can’t drive in old town and there is limited parking nearby. Be prepared to walk to and from your car.

This will forever be my place to stay in Chania. Having been before, nothing will compete with the hospitality, kindness, location and ability to book other opportunities through the host. I’ve been to 56 countries and I rate this location as top notch. It’s not a 4 Seasons. It’s culture, family owned and is everything you need if exploring the city daily without needing the host to bow to your every desire. Even though she does. Rebuilt after WW2, her father passed on the amazing hotel that stands. We also booked a taxi and moped through the host with ease. Along with plenty of recommendations.

A few minutes walk to the old town port. Pleasant and knowledgeable owners involved with operations. The rooms are immaculate and romantic decorated with fresh flowers. Champagne, raki, and fresh fruits are supplied at arrival at no cost. Nice spacious bathroom and bathing accessories. Excellent room airconditioner and a great refrigerator w/ freezer to keep water frozen during those hot days when traveling to the various beaches/excursions. A balcony with table and chairs to observe the street action. Parking is available by Talos square a few minutes walk from the establishment (driving at the old town is limited). Restaurants, shops and supermarkets are nearby. It is a great place to enjoy the old town ambiance in Chania and watch the spectacular sunsets. The owners greet you upon arrival and provide all information needed to make for a wonderful stay. We would stay here again!

We could not have been happier with our stay here! They were absolutely amazing and stayed up late for us to arrive since our flight got very delayed - very easy to communicate with them through whatsapp. They went above and beyond by waiting for us, giving us a whole rundown of Chania/where to visit, and treating us to extra celebrations for our honeymoon :) Truly amazing customer service and we loved the history behind Palazzo di Pietro as well. We also loved the building cat! Truly a wonderful place that we would recommend to everyone. We hope to visit again!
