My wife and I arrived in Heraklion by ferry and after a 2 hour drive to Chania we were greeted by the hotel manager Athena.

The hotel itself is stunning, a beautiful building with large rooms and a great view from the balcony out to the sea. The pool area is also a big plus in Chania, as few central accommodations offer this and is a welcome sight after a long days sightseeing.

Breakfast is served wherever you wish in the hotel and is a great spread of croissants, breads and home made jams.

However, the biggest asset to this hotel has to be Athena and Barbara. Surely the nicest ladies in Crete. They were willing to offer their knowledge of the local area whenever you needed it, but at the same time where not overbearing which can sometimes be the case in smaller hotels. Fantastic and highly recommended.

We felt like royalty staying in this beautiful Mediterranean villa! Our room had marble and dark wood flooring, high ceilings and elegant furnishings. Our bedroom was on a second story landing accessed by a winding marble staircase. We had views of the pool on one side and the bay of Chania on the other. We were asked each evening if we would like to take breakfast in our room, on the balcony, or in the kiosk by the pool. The breakfast consisted of warm croissants, homemade jams, honey, hard breads & cheese, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee or tea. Recommendations made by the reception for places to dine and sights to see were perfect. The taverna on the bay right down the street was a wonderful non-touristy treat! We took the Taste of Crete tour organized by Diktynna Travel. This can also be arranged by the hotel. The perfect tour to experience the people, culture and cuisine of Crete! The Villa Andromeda is a beautiful, warm and welcoming place to stay in Chania. TrueGreece booked this hotel for us and of all the fabulous places we stayed throughout Greece, this was my favorite. If you are looking for small, boutique style, authentic, luxury places to stay in Greece, I highly recommend booking your trip through TrueGreece!

We spent 2 weeks here during September. Athena and her team could not do enough for us but also knew when not to intrude on our time or space.
We would recommend suite 3 as you have a private terrace with sea views and private access directly to the garden and pool.
Breakfast was always served on time and with a welcoming smile from one of the 2 maids.
The hotel manager Barabara had thought of everything, her help and information meant we had a stress free holiday . The maps she gave us of the old town with all the historical sites marked and recommendations for resturants was a god send and Athena's calls to resturants meant we always had good food and service.
We had only one regret and that was that we could not stay longer.

We just spent 18 nights at this simply lovely 8-suite hotel (which used to be an embassy early 20th century) while we attended a 2-week Greek language course. We felt like we were guests in a private home. The owner (who lives next door) and her manager cannot do enough for you. The suite is really a two-room apartment with a sofa in the living room that will sleep 1 adult or 2 children. Some have private balconies with view of the sea or pool/garden, and there is a top-floor balcony for use by all. Continental breakfast, included, can be had in your room, on the balcony or out by the pool. (Wonderful hot croissants, home-made jam, and fresh-squeezed orange juice!) We especially liked the fact that it was located in a residential neighborhood, about 20 minute walk to the bustling (and touristy) old town/harbor. Thus, after eating a delicious meal each night in town, we could walk it off on the way home! We recommend this hotel highly, and plan to return next year.
