WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE!
The penthouse is just as big and bright and beautiful as the photos make it appear. Having the top floor of a 10 story building gave us a birds eye view of the coastline and mountains from our big windows, sun deck and multiple verandas. While not set in the heart of the Chania old Venetian harbor area, getting to the hustle and bustle of that tourist central was an easy walk or an even easier (and cheap) cab ride.
The flat was well appointed with everything we needed, as well as with things we didn't know we needed, like the espresso machine! Having secure, covered parking was also a very valuable thing to us.
A review of this property would not be compete without mentioning our hosts, Vivien and Christopher, who are delightful and went far above and beyond the all of duty by ensuring we knew where to find the best supermarket as well as a local swimming hole and several off-the-beaten path restaurants and tavernas we would never have found by ourselves that were amazing. We discovered that Vivien and Chris are both authors so forced the to let us read their books, which was a special treat. We bought copies of both of them!

Bel appartement
Superbe semaine à La Canée. Tout était très bien. Excellente communication avec Vivien et très bon accueil. Appartement bien situé non loin du centre mais assez pour avoir la tranquillité.

Beautiful
Vivien and Chris were great hosts! The apartment was very spacious with a great view. You do not need a car if you are planning to stay in Chania as taxi service is very convenient and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!

Lovely and spacious
We stayed in Chania Penthouse for 5 days and enjoyed being in a lovely and spacious apartment. The views were beautiful especially at sunset and sitting on the balcony enjoying the evening breeze was a nightly ritual. Vivien was very accommodating and kind. She showed us around the neighborhood and even escorted us to a beautiful seaside taverna when we arrived.

Séjour PARFAIT
Il est difficile de critiquer quand tout est parfait!
Vivien et Chris sont des hôtes charmants, à l'écoute et de très bons conseils. Nous avons suivi et testé toutes leurs adresses et n'avons jamais été déçus que ce soient pour les visites, les plages ou les bonnes tavernes!
Quand à l'appartement, il est spacieux, facile à vivre, avec une vue magnifique, proche des grands axes permettant les visites et du Centre ville sans être trop dans le bruit
Rien ne manque et il est décoré avec beaucoup de goût.
Chacun y a trouvé sa place, nous étions 2 familles avec 2 grands adolescents
Dans la cuisine, quelques produits "de démarrage" nous ont permis de commencer notre séjour sans courrir faire les courses et le 1er matin Viven nous a gentiment déposé quelques viennoiseries locales, merci!
Nous ne pouvons que conseiller ce penthouse qui vous permet de passer des vacances en Crête formidables
Vievien et Chris MERCI Beaucoup pour tout, vous êtes aussi les acteurs de nos vacances réussies! THANKS A LOT

Perfect penthouse for your stay in Chania
The location of this apartment is perfect with magnificent views of Chania. The property is clean, fully functioning and isn't missing a thing! The apartment is spacious, nicely decorated and inviting! The host is just as inviting, kind and helpful.
