Hotels in Chania

The Villa Andromeda at Chania in Crete is a Neo Classical mansion built in 1870. It has been very carefully restored so as to preserve its characteristic nineteenth century architecture. During the period of the autonomous Cretan state (1897 1912), the Villa Andromeda housed the German consulate. Nearby stood more mansions, including the consulates of the other great powers of the day, the Palace of Prince George (high commissioner of Crete ), and the residence of Elefterios Venizelos (later Prime Minister of Greece ). In 1940, the Villa Andromeda was used by the German Military Autorities and among those who stayed there as guests was Field Marshal Rommel, commander of the Afrika Korps . Villa Andromeda was fully restored on April 2003.

Despina Villa houses three spacious two bedroom well appointed apartments. Two of the apartments are comfortable for 5, sleeping 2 in one bedroom and 3 in the second bedroom, with a generous size sitting room and open plan kitchen dining area. Each has views over the village rooftops to the sea and Agios Theodoros island from their balconies. The third apartment is comfortable for 4 people, sleeping 2 in each bedroom, with an open plan sitting dining room and kitchen. This apartment has French windows to the ground floor terraces lined with exotic shady foliage, its own balcony and immediate access to the garden and swimming pool. Each apartment has a well appointed bathroom with cooling marble tiled walls and light stone tiled floors providing a small bath, shower and toilet.
