This penthouse places you right in the heart of Chania, with shops, restaurants and the Old Town all within easy reach. Whether you’re here for sightseeing, seaside strolls or long dinners out, you couldn’t be better positioned to explore the city on foot. When it’s time to slow down, head back upstairs to your private retreat. The open-plan living area is great for gathering, while three en-suite bedrooms offer plenty of privacy. The real highlight, though, is the rooftop terrace, where a private pool and a dining spot sits, overlooking the city, sea, and mountains – we think it’s a pretty special spot for sunset swims.

About Chania

The beguiling city of Chania is known for its 14th-century Venetian harbour, lined with colourful buildings and waterfront restaurants.

Here, you'll find the lighthouse, the Mosque of Kioutsouk Hasan and the Grand Arsenal – a shipyard since the Venetian era, now the Mediterranean Architecture Centre. Other attractions include the Greek Orthodox Cathedral and the Chania...
