LUXURY RESIDENCE AT THE HEART OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT OF HALEPA
Within 15' walking distance from the east Venetian fortification of the Old Town, lies Halepa, the most beautiful and historic district of Chania. With a tradition of hosting the aristocracy of the previous century of Chania, Halepa still gives a person the same feeling of that period, as many mansions have been preserved. At the most privileged location of this district Casa di Christina welcomes you for a memorable stay. CASA CHRISTINA The apartment (in a small family owned 3 floors building) is a maisonette with five balconies. With uninhibited view from all balconies one can feel miles away from the city, even though the location is just 5' driving distance from the center of Chania! Opposite the house is the "palace" (the residence of Prince George at the beginnings of the 20th century), the old French Academy, and the Museum of El. Venizelos, which used to be his residence and now has been restored and is open to the public. Behind the house is the Russian church Agia Magdalini and only 200 meters away lies the sea and the famous location of "Tabakaria". PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The first floor consists of a spacious living room area, the dining area, an open space kitchen and a spacious bathroom (with a hydromassage column). There are two big balconies; the front one has a view of the "palace" of prince George, Venizelos museum and the French School and the back one a view of the garden of the Russian church Agia Magdalini and our organic garden from where you can feel free to select as many vegetables as you wish throughout your stay! On the upper floor there are three bedrooms, each one with its own balcony (two of them have the view of the palace, El. Venizelos museum and the French Academy and the third one overlooks the garden of Agia Magdalini), a hanging loft, and a second bathroom with a hydro bath. The Master bedroom has a mattress 200 x 200 cm, the second bedroom has twin beds (can be made into double if requested) and the third bedroom has a double queen bed. The house has independent entrances for each floor and there is a lift access to both floors.
AMENITIES: Fully equipped kitchen Boiler Toaster Coffee making facilities Dishwasher Hydro bath Hydro column Satelite TV Internet/Wifi Essentials Shampoo Iron Hair dryer A/C Fireplace Washing machine Wheelchair Accessible Elevator in the building
THE AREA: One can enjoy long walks around the area. Within 3' minutes walking distance one can visit Tabakaria, the place where the tanneries used to operate in the 19th century. Tabakaria, nowadays declared as a monument of industrial archaeology, is the most exclusive and therefore most expensive real estate land in the city of Chania. In case you have young children the garden of Agia Magdalini, can be an ideal place to stroll and a secure spot for children to safely play around! Walking down El. Venizelou street, only 100 meters away from the house, there is a small park alongside the street from where one can enjoy a panoramic view of the sea and the city of Chania; as it looks towards the west, it is a spot promising unforgettable sunsets. Worthwhile mentioning is that Halepa will host the new Archaeological Museum of Chania (200 meters from the house), which is in a transitional status; it is ready but still not open to the public, as the exhibits have not moved there yet. In the area there are cafes, supermarket and restaurants, some with the most amazing view. Last, but not least, within a few minutes walking distance from the house there are some places for a quick dip into the sea ("Koum Kapi", "Kouloura", "Honoloulou"), even though it goes without saying that one should rent a car to visit the top beaches which lie at the west and the south part of the island! Places i love in the area: Cafe Dagli (the best coffee in town) Thalassino Ageri (the most romantic spot for a dinner at the time of the sunset, located at Tabakaria) Blue (the best place to enjoy tapas and sea view!! ideal at the time of the sunset) Studio ON (a very exceptional artspace hosting a cafe right at the sea front) Accessibility: Exactly opposite the building's main entrance there is a bus station and the public transportation is very frequent. One can also easily walk along the sea towards the city center (15' - 20' walking distance from the Venetian Old Town). There is always availability for free parking at the street of Dagli (opposite the entrance of the house).

The house was very nice, spacious, and perfectly located for easy access to everything on the west side of Crete as long as you have a car. Old town Chania is an easy walk and there is a nice beach even closer. Our host Christina was so nice and easy to communicate with! Anytime we needed anything she responded very quickly.

Great Stay
We had a great time during our stay, the property was just as described, modern and very clean. Our host Christina was helpful. It is a bit of a walk into the centre particularly in very hot weather but the no 11 bus stops right outside and will take you to the centre, and the no 21 bus from the centre takes you to the local beaches

It was a lovely home and just as described. It was spacious and very clean. We had a slight issue with parking as it wasn’t always possible to find parking in the side street, but we really enjoyed our stay

Lovely home in Chania
Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in a quaint neighborhood with a nice cafe around the corner, a 5 min walk to nice waterfront restaurants, a block from a great archeological museum, and a 15 min walk to the heart of Chania. The house is modern and comfortable with several nice patios and an elevator to easily transport luggage. Overall a wonderful stay.

Excellent apartment, amazing host
We couldn’t have been more happy with our stay at Christina's apartment. The apartment was perfect for our group. Modern, clean, and well-stocked. Balconies and beautiful live plants everywhere. It’s located about 20 minutes walking to central Chania and there are several swimming spots along the way. We took advantage of the nearby grocery stores and the cafe around the corner several times during our trip. Note that the 4th bedroom lacks a bit of privacy, but that was not an issue on our trip.
Christina was extremely kind and helpful. She responded quickly, was very accommodating, and providing amazing recommendations for our time in Crete (she even helped us set up a boat cruise for one of the days). Our trip would not have been the same without Christina’s help.

Comfortable apartment & located in a great area!
Beautiful and comfortable home away from home for our Chania stay. Loved all of the balconies and outdoor areas. Perfect location - easy to spend the day in Chania and the historic area or venture to the many close by beach areas. Just a short walk away from many really great restaurants - we especially enjoyed Periplous right on the water.

Wonderful Stay
The place was exactly as presented in the photographs: clean, modern, comfortable and luxurious. Christina could not have been more helpful and hospitable. We were welcomed with fresh fruit and homemade pastries. We arrived late because of our flight but Christina led us to a wonderful taverna where we enjoyed delicious seafood and traditional Greek dishes. We highly recommend this property.

Very spacious apartment. Christina was very welcoming and helpful with ideas about the area.
Very nice modern apartment with all the amenities. Christina was welcoming and shared much information about the area. Nice patio off the kitchen provides a quiet gathering place. Would definitely recommend to complete your visit to Chania
