A beautiful restored mansion which transports you into the fairytale world of your long lost great aunt. That is if your great aunt was a wealthy diplomat's wife. The service is warm and personal. The rooms are vintage in a delightfully comfortable way. Breakfast is customized each day to your preferences and a delicious array of choices are available. The only slight downside is the pool garden. While the pool is large and dreamy, it does attract swarms of mosquitoes (the only ones we encountered during two weeks exploring Crete). All in all a wonderful property that you should not hesitate booking.

Andromeda was the perfect place for our 3 night stay in Chania. It is a gracious building that had served as the German Embassy to Crete back in the day. It is well located outside just outside center city overlooking the sea, with easy access to everything in the area, while avoiding the hustle bustle of the central toursit area. The staff was uniformly gracious, accommodating, friendly and extremely helpful. The room was a very comfortable, spacious suite. We enjoyed breakfast and generally relaxing with in the garden and around the large pool. We had a wonderful stay!

Amazing stay!

This hotel is great, especially if you have a car. It's about a 20 minute walk to the Old Town. And it was worth the walk. You had a beautiful view of the sea, and a really nice pool. The staff was really helpful (especially the day we forgot to fill out our breakfast form, and the nice women made it for us right away) and breakfast was good. Truly enjoyed our stay here.

Villa Andromeda felt more like home than hotel. It made a perfect base for exploring Chania and the region. The staff are friendly and kind. They went out of their way to help us with small things that made a big difference to our trip. Beautiful building, peaceful garden, glorious views and a warm welcome. We will be back!

Lovely quiet location with superb views

Lovely place, rooms were large with seating area, fridge and separate bedroom. Pool was big, adequate loungers for the small number of guests and lovely views from terrace. A bit of a walk into town but away from bustle of people.

We had to reschedule our trip shortly before we were due to arrive and the staff were very helpful in amending our booking, free of charge. The suite we had was lovely and spacious, and the communal outside area is fantastic with a large pool and a leafy garden. Our favourite part was the incredible breakfast is which we chose to have on the balcony overlooking the bay towards Chania - I cant eat wheat but there was plenty of choice for me and it’s a nice touch to have breakfast served rather than buffet style

I loved the location of the villa because it was only a km away from the old town but had a great seaside view and a small village nearby with great restaurants hidden near the waters edge ... I highly recommend this b&b for the location service efficiency in helping guest enquires & friendliness.

Wonderful villa hotel opn the seafront

An amazing stay in a beautiful hotel staffed by friendly, helpful people (Anna and Zoi were both amazing). Our room (a two-storey maisonette) was clean, extremely spacious and well-appointed - easily big enough for the three of us to stay there in real comfort.
Breakfast (prepared and served by some very charming ladies) was served on the balcony with stunning views over the sea. The breakfast was always freshly made and delicious.
A twenty-minute pleasant stroll along the seafront to Chania old town which means you are away from the noise and can relax in peace and quiet.
I strongly recopmmend this hotel to anyone staying in Chania.

Great Location. Lacking Services. Cool Building

The location is great but the overall property is less than expected. The photos make it look like it is a sizeable property with a restaurant and a bellman to help you with your luggage but they don't have these services. I felt bad having the lady help me with my bag as she was older than I with heels on. If you travel light then this wouldn't be an issue.
The view from the veranda was great but i was under the impression that our room also had that view, but no. Of the 5 or 6 rooms at the property 2 have the view. You can go out on the veranda though whenever you want and the property was not crowded because so few rooms. Everyone was nice but there were little things that were just off. Like the chairs on the terrace all sunk in because the cloth seats were measured incorrectly. TV was very small which was annoying trying to watch world cup. The street is pretty loud in front of the property and our room in the back of the hotel looked out on a construction zone on an apartment building. it was the weekend so no noise but would definitely want to check that if staying during the week. One can walk from this hotel to a great restaurant 4min away and 20min to the best of Chania. It's a nice walk along the water. The biggest let down was the hot tub with jets was not heated. The owner said it was a \"kid pool\" I've never seen a kid pool that had jets. Would have been so lovely to sit out there in the evening in a hot tub after so much walking around. Room was nice.Firm Bed

Very friendly staff. Slightly out of town but walkable. However, be warned that road nearest hotel is busy and noisy. Good on-site parking. Nice garden. Could use a room safe and better supplies of tea etc.

Beautiful villa overlooking the sea. \n

Staff could not do enough for you. Fresh flowers in the room together with fresh fruit and a bottle of wine in the fridge. Breakfast was served on the balcony and consisted of freshly squeezed Orange juice, coffees, tea, hot chocolate, croissants, breads, home made marmalade and jam. You could then ask for eggs, fresh fruit or yoghurt and there was always a little surprise added. Suite was on two floors, a sitting room, a bedroom and bathroom. Towels were changed every day including g the beach towels provided. Masses of storage space. It is a 15 minute easy walk into Charnia and there is a bus stop 2 minutes walk away.

Lovely classy, hotel with wonderful staff who made us feel very welcome. Extremely comfortable room on two levels overlooking the sea. . Sitting on the balcony with a delicious breakfast was a lovely experience each morning and the pool and gardens very inviting. Athena and Anna were very helpful suggesting places to eat and visit. 5 Star... will definitely recommend and hope to revisit next year.

Great Boutique Hotel walking distance from town

We stayed at Villa Andromeda and we felt like we were staying with family from the moment we arrived.
Set in a beautiful historic mansion this boutique hotel on a busy road overlooking the sea and the old city was charming and character filled. The staff and owner were warm and welcoming. As it is in a classy neighborhood we enjoyed exploring the local coffee house and Tavern as well as taking the short walk into historic Chania. If you like to be close to the bustle but not too close this is a great choice and breafast on the balcony is a delight.

the perfect stay, a real gem!

Had the most enjoyable stay at Villa Andromeda end of September and felt so very sad to leave. We felt privileged to stay in such a beautiful villa, so full of character and with the most magnificent view over the old town from the terrace where we enjoyed delicious breakfasts. The very well kept garden and superb pool were a haven of tranquility, perfect to relax in after an excursion. Our warmest thanks to Athena, Barbara and all the staff who made us feel very welcome and at home straight away and greeted you with the warmest smile every time. Thanks in particular to Athena for giving us great advice on best places to visit and where to eat! Every recommendation was a hit! Merci pour tout Athena! I will miss our little chats in French too! Would go back tomorrow!

Best place to say in Chania

This lovely hotel is located just a short walk from the center of Chania, giving you easy access to the Old Town without the noise/busyness of staying right in the heart of it. The property is beautifully appointed and spacious, and Madame Athena and the other women who help run it are very gracious and hospitable. Madame Athena gives great restaurant recommendations, too. We loved the pool area, and the breakfasts are beautifully served and delicious. Staying here was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Crete.

Beautiful Hotel overlooking all of Chania Bay

Wonderful and helpful staff, from reception to maids to owner, all very friendly and helpful.

The rooms were luxuriously appointed, light, roomy and airy with superb sea views and all within walking distance of the town centre.

A truly lovely setting with a lot of history attached and a very friendly poolside cat who befriended us.
