This small and elegant seafront resort offers a refreshing splash of style. Situated a 15 minutes' drive from Chania’s lively Venetian harbor, it gazes out over a sandy sheltered bay. A famous Greek architect, Elisa Manolas, "revisited" the hotel, transforming it into a contemporary, fresh and vibrant retreat; the archetypal white-washed surfaces are charmingly blended with raw, unvarnished wood, corian worktops, cool light fittings, indigenous ceramic art, colorful Marimekko fabrics and trendy Bisazza tiling. The ambience is chic, yet tranquil and unpretentious and the service is brilliant and discreet. Understated design, attention to detail, instinctive hospitality, great dining and a very personalized approach are the ingredients that make this getaway special.
