Oh my goodness, such a magical stay with Thomais! She really made us feel at home. The building is beautiful and Chania was delightful, we couldn't have asked for a better way to end our stay in Crete.

“Amazing hostess, amazingly positioned accommodation, great stay”
The apartment is very well positioned, a 2 minute walk from the old harbor waterfront. The apartment was clean and there was Greek Olive Oil apple cake waiting for us, made personally by Thomias. She is incredible and has been the hostess for 25+ years. She was very friendly and became our kids Greek grandmother during our stay. There is airco which was needed due to the temperature while we were there - a small but functional kitchenette with a small fridge. It was the perfect base for us to spend 3 days in Chania. We should have booked for 5 days as the old city is incredible. The apartment had a balcony as well as a private courtyard. Plenty of outside space for the 4 of us. Wifi was good and the bathroom fine for 4 people sharing. I highly recommend this apartment.

“An oasis of quiet charm and hospitality in the middle of the busstle of the old town”
Lovely place to stay with a great balcony, light airy kitchenette and the location was perfect - a quiet street right in the middle of the old town. The best part however was the exceptional host. She was the most welcoming, helpful and charming person I have met, and a great cook 🙂

Thomais is an amazing lady, a perfect host, she looked after us exceptionally well. Her kindness will not be forgotten, she surpasses all others we have met over many holidays, She and her daughter treated me with great concern when I became immobile with back pain for many of the days. Nothing was too much trouble. She made sure we had everything we needed to help us through. An agonising flight home and still I'm laid up and reflecting on having met such a wonderful sincere family.

“Excelent experience in the old venetian town of Chania”
Big room in an authentic historic venetian building in the old town of Chania, next to the old port, with a terrace overlooking both the inner courtyard and the cobbled street, it's the perfect place to enjoy the lovely buzz of Chania. Our host, Thomais, was always available, and brought us a nice homemade breakfast with Dakos, Kalitsounia and Greek Yogurt with honey every morning.
