Historic Venetian Villa in Chania Old Town Centre
Location & Surroundings
Villa Archondisa stands 400 metres from Mitropoleos Square and 500 metres from Chania Old Venetian Harbour. The Archaeological Museum lies 2.7 km away, and Nea Chora Beach is a 12-minute walk. The property places guests at the quiet edge of the Old Town, close to the harbour and the sea wall.
Accommodation & Living Spaces
The two-bedroom villa offers a kitchenette, a fireplace, and a dining table on the ground floor. Balconies off the first and second-floor bedrooms look over the street, and a large sun terrace sits on the roof. The bathroom is located on the ground floor, and the open staircases are steep, making the house unsuitable for small children or the elderly.
Practical Amenities
Guests receive free WiFi, air conditioning, and daily housekeeping. Airport shuttle service is available for pick-up and drop-off, and car hire can be arranged on site. The villa provides a TV, a tea and coffee maker, and a refrigerator for self-catering stays.
Family & Accessibility Considerations
The villa has family rooms and is suitable for couples or families with older children. The steep stairs and ground-floor bathroom complicate access for those with mobility issues. Guests who book the whole house get private use of all rooms, the roof terrace, and the outdoor dining area.
Nearby Highlights
Within a short walk, guests can explore the Folklore Museum of Chania, Firkas Fortress, and Chania Old Venetian Harbour. Local shops, gift shops, and restaurants line the surrounding streets. Chania International Airport is 15 km from the villa, and parking is available at the end of the pedestrian-only street.
