The 200 sqm residence is on the top floor of the “Palazzo del Rettore”, a building dating from the 14th century with spectacular views of the Chania Venetian Harbour. Set high on the fortified hill at the heart of the old town, the residence offers spectacular views to the Chania Venetian Harbour including the famous lighthouse, the Maritime Museum of Crete and the Giali Tzami Mosque as well as to the “Big Blue” Aegean Sea from all its northern rooms. Its south and east oriented rooms offer views to the old city and the small “piazza” with the lemon trees connecting the rest of the traditional residences. Its large rooftop terrace enjoys a bird’s eye, 360º unobstructed view to the “White Mountains” of Chania, the Old Harbour and the nearby beaches at the horizon. There are four rooms: 1\. The Rector’s Suite which sleeps 2-4 persons with a king size bed and a bed-sofa which can be converted into two separate single beds. It includes an en-suite bathroom and a private balcony with a superb view of the Venetian Harbour. 2\. Dorothy’s Room sleeps 3 persons with one double and one single bed. It has a private balcony and views towards both the Harbor and the White Mountains. It shares a bathroom with the Red Room. 3\. The Romantic Room is a spacious room that sleeps 2-4 persons, with a double bed and a single bed that unfolds into two separate single beds. It has an en-suite bathroom and a view to the White Mountains and the Palazzo yard. 4\. Need more space? We have one more room which we call the Red Room due to the Sienna colour of its walls. It is a smaller yet very cosy room. With one double bed it can accommodate up to two persons and offers views to the Venetian Harbour, the small backstreets of the old town and the White Mountains. It shares the main bathroom with Dorothy’s Room. The residence includes a fully equipped kitchen, a living/dining room and exclusive access to the terrace. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Shower/bathtub combination - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Smoke-free property - Note from host: May smoke on terrace ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Recycling - Unit size: 2,153 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29500000/29494700/29494676/5efd1d75.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Evelyn's House: outdoor heated Jacuzzi, Views, cozy Fireplace & 500Mbps WiFi Halepa - Sea view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=29494676&PinnedHotelID=29494676&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118050000/118048500/118048437/83861807.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### HANIM - luxe 3BR apt Sea & Old Port view Old Town Chania - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=118048437&PinnedHotelID=118048437&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63870000/63861400/63861382/a9430b70.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Souda Bay View - Five Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 12 Kalami - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=63861382&PinnedHotelID=63861382&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36960000/36957600/36957565/24b8b3cc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Happy Villa.

I visited with my extended family, 6 adults and two small children, and there was plenty of room for us to all feel comfortable. Communication with the owner and local host was so easy, and we felt very well cared for. The apartment itself is stunning-- big rooms, tall ceilings, balconies overlooking the harbor, and the most amazing roof terrace. This is a first-class accommodation in the very center of a wonderfully interesting town. We felt so lucky to have spent a week there. Book it! Right now! ##### Tyler C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### scott c. 29 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Property Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our rental. Alex, the owner, was very receptive throughout the process and answered all of our questions. Also, Zoe, the property manager, was amazing during our check in and provided snacks, restaurant locations, and an overview of the area. The property itself is amazing! The home was built in … 1624!! It is very spacious and the views of the Old Harbour are incredible. We had zero issues during our stay and would definitely consider it again. The only minor issue that finding parking can be a challenge at first, but once my family and I got a feel for peoples schedules - it got much better as the week went on. Again, this property is a place where lasting memories can be made! Great place! ##### scott c.

It was the epitome of what my dream was as a perfect place to stay, especially our first trip to Greece. The location was in my opinion the best seat in the house. We could see everything. Dorothy’s was in a great local toon as far as accessing anything. We ate at Semiramis, which was a suggestion by Zoe. Who was the best host our entire trip. Out of the 3 places we stayed. I highly recommend Dorothy’s Dream. It’s worth it. Yes parking was a bit of a challenge but it was a trade off to being able to stay in the most beautiful house in Chania. Thank you so much for letting us stay on your home. ##### Dana B.

Very convenient location in Chania, close to everything with an easy walk. This four bedroom, three bath home has everything you need and much more. Fully equipped kitchen and beautiful bedrooms with king beds in the two master bedrooms. Beautiful small balconies facing the port of Chania with a huge rooftop oasis (fully furnished) with 360 views of all of Chania including the sea and mountains plus the city itself. The owner, Alexandros was very, very thoughtful and helpful about his home and provided helpful hints throughout making our stay perfect. In addition, he had his concierge, Zoe, meet us at our van (we had six adults and a 3 Y/O with lots of luggage) with a porter, Matthew, to transfer our bags to the apartment since it is up a long flight of stairs. Zoe then gave us a terrific overview of the house and Chania over Greek hors d’oeuvres and a special Raki toast for all. Zoe again met us on our departure and transferred (with porter Constantin) us and our luggage to our airport can. Alexandros provided maid service each day with two wonderful people, Diana and Eleni who were super and also made our 3 Y/O feel welcome as they cleaned for us. Wonderful vacation made very special by Alexandros and his amazing staff. ##### John D.

It was wonderful. We all had our own rooms and beds. It can sleep 4 couples comfortably. Alex was great to work with and Zoe was there to show ys the keys and gave us lots of local information and even goodies to eat .. the location hasa rooftop view of the entire old town waterfront. It is a historic building that is part of the old town history. We had no problem but if you have a problem with stairs you should look elsewhere. We had no problems at all and would stay here again. ##### Harry K.

The service is impeccable, the house is well appointed with everything you need and more, including several different options for making your coffee! I would highly recommend it to anybody looking for a place in Chania. You are steps to everything you’ll want to see and do and it is very quiet. We will stay here when we visit Chania again. Love this beautiful home. ##### Sheila A.

We had the best time at this amazing house. It was so perfectly located with the most unbelievable views. We couldn’t have been more pleased. We’d recommend anyone to come enjoy Dorothy’s dream. It was fully stocked, plenty of amenities, and a housekeeper every day of the stay. Zoe was a fantastic host and gave us many great recommendations and history of the house and town.

We absolutely loved Chania and this flat is in a premium location within the old town. The property is exactly as pictured and the rooftop terrace is fantastic. Alex and Zoe were the most wonderful hosts we’ve ever had; communication was seamless and their hospitality upon our arrival was unprecedented. Zoe literally made us feel like family! Without a doubt, I recommend this property to anyone interested in spending time in Chania. If we ever find ourselves back in Crete, we will not hesitate to stay at this fabulous home! ##### Christina L.
