This charming little family-run, eight room "boutique hotel", has as much emphasis on hospitality and local traditions as on the comfortable, contemporary and decadent décor of this stylishly restored Venetian building. Service is intimate, relaxed and friendly, with emphasis on using fresh homemade and local produce in anything served. Stonewalls, arches and the original fireplace in the corner are a reminder of the former elegance of this Venetian mansion. The décor is very reminiscent of its historical past and the theme is "Eastern Chic" - neo classical furnishings with lots of granite, iron, wood and bold fabrics made from luxurious silks, decadently embroidered drapes and Turkish carpets.

Set in the quiet maze of back streets behind the hustle and bustle of Chania's harbour, next to the Kastelli area, is the Splantzia district - the Turkish quarter for over 200 years of the occupation, an area instantly recognisable for its prominent 1645 restored dome-shaped Mosque at the waterfront and the spiralling Minarets that adorn the majority of the Christian Churches in the district. Superbly situated to visit any of the sites and places of interest in the town. Within just a few minutes walk from the harbour and close to the main market. There are numerous excellent restaurants and coffee shops nearby. A couple of minutes in the other direction lead to the heart of Chania's shopping district, the leather market and the central bus station.
