The rooms are fitted with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a fridge, a coffee machine, a bidet, free toiletries and a wardrobe. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and a hairdryer, some rooms at the inn also boast a city view. Porto Vecchio is perfectly located at the very beginning of the Old Town, with everything the city has to offer within a two-minute walk: markets, an excellent ice cream shop, the promenade along the port with numerous restaurants, and narrow streets full of charming shops and views. The area is cozy and lively, capturing the true spirit of Chania’s historic center. Our room was simply delightful. Despite its relatively small size, it was exceptionally well-organized and equipped with everything we needed: an ironing board and iron, plates neatly tucked in drawers, cups, mugs, and a coffee machine. The balcony was small and without a view, but it was perfect for sitting in the evenings and soaking up the sounds of the city. In case of rain, there is no protection, so a plexiglass screen instead of the straw mat could improve comfort for the cushions and anyone sitting there. The view from the window was truly remarkable. We overlooked a narrow street with a beautiful view of the Centre of Traditional Folk Art and Culture, right across from the property. Leaning out of the window, people waved at me, thinking I was a local resident — I waved back, and it was such a charming and memorable experience. Chania can be busy and noisy, and many visitors often mention nightlife with loud music until late hours. Here, however, there are no nightclubs nearby, so although there is pedestrian traffic, we never heard loud music or disruptive noise — it was peaceful and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and well-appointed, and the provided toiletries were of excellent quality. The property offers an easy and flexible check-in with a code for the intercom and a room key card. We were also able to leave our luggage in a secure area after checkout, which made departure hassle-free. The owner was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring everything went smoothly throughout our stay.

Peaceful and relax place Place not too busy for us - the swimming pool is clean The manager has welcomed us kindly and she is really nice, always smiling and helping you if you have any questions. We appreciated her attention and she also offered a lil raki at the end of our trip. Not too far from any services if you need, 10mtes walk to Malia city center. I would recommend the place if you wanna chill out. Dinner and breakfast are ok, you’ve got choices and plates are well-served.
