Serenissima Boutique Hotel

Chania old town is one of our favorites of the trip and this hotel is exceptional in every way - service to central location with lots of character and you feel special staying here. Breakfast is phenomenal, ala carte with specialty coffees included. Vassilis and Barbara at the front desk go out of their way to help out with vacation plans and all their recommendations were great. We spent 3 nights here - went to Al Hammam one day and spent time around Venetian harbor most of the time. Sunsets are spectacular, son enjoyed going to the clubs (short walk from hotel) and old town is so lively in the night, I never felt unsafe even walking alone at 1am back to hotel. Barbara booked a 4x4 private taxi for us for the day. We visited Balos beach with views from the parking lot - chose not to hike down as it was a really hot day; went to Elafonisi lagoon, and some wine tasting on the way back. It was a great day and nice way to see the island if you are short on time. Views are breathtaking every where. Booked a private transfer through Vassilis to Heraklion to visit archeological museum and palace of Knossos and spent a night there. Just a word of caution, there are steps to the rooms, and as hotel is in a pedestrian area, taxis are a short walk away. Vassilis helped us with luggage on our arrival from taxi stand and also brought the suitcases down the night before our departure so we just had to roll them to the taxi.

Located in Chania Old Town on a quiet non-vehicle street. There are only seven rooms. Ours was spacious and well-appointed. Staff friendly and efficient. Great breakfast served every morning. Just a very short walk from the waterfront. A very good restaurant - Tam Tam, is right around the corner. If you're in Chania, stay here.

The Serenissima is beautifully positioned in Chania Old Town, less than 5mins to the harbour and 15mins to Nea Chora beach. Surrounded by top class restaurants and bars, it’s the perfect location. We stayed seven nights and the personal service was second to none. All the reception staff could not have been more helpful or friendly, always happy to give tips on their favourite beaches, restaurants etc. our superior deluxe room was excellent, one of the best bathrooms we’ve ever enjoyed. Air conditioning was perfect and the beds really comfortable. In all, the ideal location within Chania Old Town
