Guest Reviews
- Martin (10/5): The appartment owner was exceptional in caring for us, particularly in repatriating items we left behind. - Very lovey large apartment for two of us centrally located that was very good value.
- moira (10/5): - Wow! Spacious, carefully furnished and simply lovely apartment ideally situated close to Chania harbour. The hosts have taken such care to supply the home with every possible comfort; the kitchen is filled with everything needed to cater and we were welcomed with gifts of wine and cake in a true spirut of Greek hospitality. We have been visiting Greece for 40 years and this was the nicest apartment we have stayed in.
- Marios (10/5): Ομόρφο, ανετό, καθαρό διαμερισμά σε πολύ καλή τοποθεσία με πολύ εξυπηρετικό και ευγενικό προσωπικό. - Ομόρφο, καθαρό διαμέρισμα σε πολύ καλή τοποθεσία λίγα μέτρα από το λιμάνι των Χανίων και την πλατεία της αγοράς. Πολύ εξυπηρετικό το προσωπικό και το διαμέρισμα διαθέτει όλο τον απαραίτητο εξοπλισμό για μία άριστη διαμονή. Το μόνο μικρό μειονέκτημα είναι ότι δεν υπάρχει ιδιωτικό parking (το οποίο το γνωρίζαμε πριν από την κράτηση) ωστόσο υπάρχει σε πολύ μικρή απόσταση, περίπου 5 λεπτά με τα πόδια, δημόσιο δωρεάν parking.
- Antoniades (10/5): - Πρόκειται για ένα πλήρως εξοπλισμένο διαμέρισμα, ιδανικό για οικογένειες 4 ατόμων. Μοντέρνο, καθαρό σε τέλεια τοποθεσία στην παλιά πόλη, που επιτρέπει εύκολη διακίνηση είτε με τα πόδια είτε με αυτοκίνητο όταν χρειάζεται. Το κερασάκι στην τούρτα είναι η φιλική εξυπηρέτηση τόσο από την ιδιοκτήτρια, κ. Ρίτσα, όσο και από την Μαρία που φροντίζει την ομαλή λειτουργία και καθαριότητα των διαμερισμάτων. Συστήνεται ανεπιφύλακτα ❤️
- Svetlana (10/5): - Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und sehr sauber. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Der Besitzer war immer freundlich und hilfsbereit.
- Lisa (10/5): Another perfect stay - This is the second year that we have stayed at Aretousa Home for a two week holiday, we enjoyed our stay so much last year, we immediately booked it for this year and we have re-booked again for next year. The apartment is perfectly located to explore Chania and the surrounding areas, it's modern, beautifully presented, clean, comfortable and has every facility you would need. Ritsa is the perfect host, on hand to help with transfers to the airport, friendly and welcoming and ready to answer any questions. Maria the cleaner is very sweet and keeps the apartment spotlessly clean. I would thoroughly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Chania, we really enjoyed our holiday 😁 Nothing
- Jaro (9/5): -
- Andrew Sean (10/5): Great location for a Chania Old Town experience - We really loved the location. You’re tucked very conveniently just off a main Old Town road. Super quiet especially at night. Ritsa, the owner, was readily available and also arranged airport transfers at an extra charge Nothing
- Francesco (10/5): - Struttura ristrutturata, confortevole, funzionale, accogliente, pulita. Fortemente consigliata perché si trova nel centro della movida. Parcheggio a volte difficile da trovare vicino alla location
- Gianluca (9/5): Confortevole soggiorno a Chania in famiglia - La struttura ristrutturata è accogliente e presenta tutti i servizi e comodità utili a un soggiorno confortevole. La posizione ottima , tra il porto e la zona più commerciale. La mancanza di parcheggio genera un po’ di stress. Nel caso in cui la struttura offrisse anche il parcheggio il punteggio sarebbe senz’altro un 10.
- Sajeda (10/5): Det var super fint med allting. - Allt var fantastiskt Ingen
- Panagiotis (9/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): Ottima struttura sia per la posizione che per l’arredamento ed i servizi presenti. Più che consigliabile! - Appartamento molto accogliente, arredamento completo e di molto gusto, presente tutto il necessario ed extra
- francesco (10/5): -
- Dominika (10/5): Obiekt godny polecenia. - W obiekcie podobało nam się absolutnie wszystko. Jest czysto, nowocześnie, łózka są wygodne, klimatyzacja działa bardzo dobrze. Łazienka jest duża, wyposażona w pralkę. W kuchni wszystkie niezbędne sprzęty i naczynia. Dodatkowo obiekt jest w idealnej lokalizacji. Bardzo dobry kontakt z miłą obsługą. Polecam. Jeśli wrócimy do Chanii, to na pewno wybierzemy ten obiekt ponownie. Nic.
- Kathleen (10/5): Nice clean big place near harbor area. - Nice big and clean apt. Good kitchen and lots of room. Good location close to harbor. A/C worked well. We had a power outage once but fixed it easily . Some noise from a bar one or two of the nights but not too bad.
- Roger (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): Excellent place can be blindly booked. - Comfort, location and food coffee drink offered when arriving. Flexibilty in the check in.
- Peter (10/5): Highly recommended. - This large, modern apartment is designed, furnished and fully equipped as a true home. High quality throughout and everything seems brand new. Lots of storage space for a longer stay - we stayed 3 weeks and didn’t need to ask for extra clothes hangers!
Ritsa responds to messages quickly and Maria does an excellent job cleaning and changing linen and towels every 3 days.
Location is as perfect as other reviews state. You don’t want to be in the middle of the old town. We didn’t see any other apartments that we would have preferred.
The balcony is larger than appears on the photos and overlooks a quiet cul-de-sac. There is also a small balcony at the back with a rack for drying clothes.
Two take-out food options and a grocery are within 100 m.
The kitchen has more appliances than seen in the pics, two coffee machines, toaster and a microwave. Coffee, sugar, salt, pepper et al were topped up for our arrival, along with pastries and a bottle wine.
If it’s within your budget don’t even think about staying anywhere else. Nothing
- Jackie (9/5): Superb, great communication - Very spacious, close to restaurants/shops/harbour Nothing
- Angela (10/5): Clean, comfortable and central - A very spacious apartment. Clean and comfortable. The small dishwasher with plenty of crockery, cutlery and tablets was a real boon. WiFi worked well, bed comfortable, towels and bedding changed mid stay. Central to everything. Transfers to and from airport worked well. Cannot fault it.
- Christopher (9/5): Superb - Location - set back about 100mts from the inner harbour close to the ship sheds, ideal for excellent eateries and bars in the less touristy part of Hania.
Apartment - 2 narrow balconies, front and back; modern, clean, with all amenities and stylish.
Parts of Greece are now quite expensive for accommodation, overall this represented fair value.
- Lisa (10/5): Wonderful Apartment - The apartment was absolutely beautiful with every possible facility and spotlessly clean. The location was great for exploring Chania and although close to the harbour it was very tranquil and quiet. The bathroom has a great shower and the addition of a washing machine was really useful, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the flat screen TV was good for relaxing in the evening when we had been out all day. We stayed for 2 weeks and we were so impressed that we have already booked it again for next year. The cleaning lady was extremely polite and friendly and there are some adorable cats that live close by so if you stay here don't forget to feed them, they like kibbles 😁. Ritsa is a wonderful host, she met us upon our arrival to show us around the apartment. She was always available if we needed any assistance and organised both our airport transfers. All in all, a perfect holiday place to stay. Nothing.
- Rick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anne (10/5): Exceptional - Best accommodation we stayed in. Loved the location close to the action but still tucked away. Plenty of room & quality furnishings. Washing machine & the drying rack on the balcony were fantastic for us. Ritsa was very helpful & friendly & organised a transfer to the airport with a wonderful local driver who we chatted to about Crete. A lovely stay in Chania. Don't forget to feed the friendly cat that lounges nearby. Accommodation was excellent
- Sina (10/5): Perfect location for exploring the Old Town, and such lovely accommodation! - Such a beautiful apartment. So well furnished with everything one could need - fully equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom and bedroom , spacious lounge. In a quiet area, it’s a very short walk to the old town harbour and square, cafes and restaurants, and of course the shopping! Perfect for our 3 day stay. Our host Ritsa, was warm and friendly and very helpful. Surprise touch to have delicious pastries and vino when we arrived. Thank you Ritsa.
- Lalla (10/5): Our family throughly enjoyed our stay here - The host is very kind woman. The appartement is clean ,modern ,cozy ,comfortable and has all the elements you need.the location is perfect . Everything was perfect.
- Radostina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ali (10/5): Very comfortable accommodation, centrally located, equipped with everything you would need. - This was the perfect place for our 5 night stay in Chania. It's in a great, safe and central location just steps from the main area. The host went above and beyond to help us with a last minute taxi to Heraklion after our flight was cancelled. The apartment has everything you need for cooking. The washing machine was a huge plus as well. We always looked forward to going back to the apartment after a long day of exploring in the heat. The A/C worked perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone staying in Chania, if we ever go back we will be staying here. Nothing
- Sandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jackson (10/5): Great place to stay easy to find and nice and cozy! - Nice place easy walking distance to everything. How cozy it was.
- Alexander (10/5): Fantastic - The apartment is as beautiful in real life as it appears in the pictures. The appliances and furniture were of good quality, and the air conditioning was top notch. If you’re looking for a home away from home this will not disappoint you. We were traveling with our 10 month old son and stayed here for 8 nights. The location is second to none, and everything from a small grocery store, the heart of the old town, and the harbor are just a short (2-3 min) walk from the apartment . The host and hostess go above and beyond to help you if needed. For example we asked for a baby bed which was provided, and they even took the initiativ without being asked to provide us with a shower mat and toys as well as a high chair for our son. The cleaning service is incredibly nice and helpful, and came by the apartment everyday.
We can only recommend this place and we plan on visiting again in the future. Nothing.
- Sarah (9/5): Perfect - Everything, it was perfect for our 5 night stay. What's not to like?
- Trevor (10/5): A Superb Stay in Chania Old Town - Firstly, the location of the property is exceptional. It’s in a quiet location but only 5 minutes walk from the harbour of Chania Old Town. Ideally located for bars and restaurants on the harbour front and also to explore the quieter areas of the Old Town. There are a couple of mini markets close by so can buy some basics.
The apartment is located in an attractively finished building and has been completed to an excellent standard, both furnishings and appliances (everything you’ll need). This includes a washing machine so you can travel light and avoid carrying heavy luggage up the one flight of stairs to the apartment.
There is a small balcony at the front that looks over the street.
A good WIFI connection is provided. Everything was good for us.
- Suzanne (10/5): Bright, new apartment - Very good apartment, spotlessly clean and spacious, bright and airy. Good location for anything we needed. Would highly recommend.
Good quality furnishings and kitchen equipment, linens crisp and clean. Apartment was cleaned and linens changed twice even though we only stayed for 1 week. Could not fault a thing. Very pleased we chose that apartment and would definitely return. Nothing
- Piotr (10/5): Amassing holiday experience. Great location, wonderfully and helpful hosts. - Perfect location. Wonderful apartment, tastefully furnished and very clean with. Car parking can be a problem but same applies to most if not all visitors to Chania:).
- Eliana (10/5): Very functional, comfortable and clean. - Great location! Aretousa Home was very functional and comfortable! Best place I’ve stayed on my trip. Everything was exceptional.
- Alexia (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and amazing location! All good
- Christina (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is brand new and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was really clean, the location amazing, close to the old port and Mrs Ritsa, the owner, very polite and helpful! We will definitely stay there again next time we will be in Chania.
- Gordana (10/5): Exceptional - Extraordinary apartment and unbeatable location! Central, yet quiet. Looking forward to coming back for a longer stay.
- Annette (10/5): Property very central but on a dead end street. Super clean and well equipped. - This property is very clean and decorated with good taste and comfort.
Everything is new and functional. There is air conditioning in the living room area and in the bedroom. Works great and it’s not noisy at all.
We didn’t use the kitchen but it looked well-equipped. Had a large freezer and fridge, dishwasher etc.
The apartment has a washing machine and there is washing detergent at your disposal, which I found was a big plus!
Wherever a bed is comfortable or not is a very individual opinion. For us it was on the small / narrow side. I’m guessing about 160 cm wide.
The apartment is very, very close to all the little streets of the old port and town of Chania. Location super convenient.
The couple that owns this property are very friendly and replies quick to our inquiries.
Lastly we were allowed to check out late as the next guest arrived late. But this flexibility was very much appreciated!! Thank you for a great home away from home! There is nothing to note. All was great!
