Description
“Lofos Castelli House” is unique as unique is the old city of Chania. Ideally located in a historical alley of Castelli neighborhood, the oldest area of Chania city where the Byzantine Fortress used to be, Lofos Castelli House offers an unforgettable experience to the visitors who seek quiet and privacy but yet be a few meters away from city sights, city life and the charming old Harbor with its impressive Egyptian Lighthouse! Lofos Castelli House was built in 1960 and fully renovated in 2021. It is built on the ruins of the ancient city of "Kydonia," founded by King Minos. What makes our house special is its location, as all historical sights and the city center are within walking distance, as well as its comfort and very high aesthetic. Upon entering the house, you will find yourself in a spacious, fully air-conditioned open-plan area. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped with coffee makers (espresso and filter), a kettle, a toaster, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher. A stylish, minimal dining area that comfortably seats 6 and a warm, earthy-toned living area (sofa that easily converts into a double bed) with a flat-screen TV and streaming services complete a welcoming space for the whole family. The soft, calm colors, the elegant furniture, the modern wall art, and the small flower cage-house enhance the beauty of the space! Additionally, the house has heaters in every room, making it ideal for winter stays as well. Lofos Castelli House offers 2 elegant, bright, and airy bedrooms, both with brand new mattresses and furniture, 2 bathrooms with walk-in showers (one of which is en-suite), and 3 different shady sitting areas in the fenced yard of the house. The house is self-catering, private, and ideal for 4 people, providing maximum comfort and privacy. A small child, however, can also be accommodated using the available baby cot. While enjoying the house’s yard, you will feel like you are traveling to another era. The lemon-bitter orange tree and the scents of the flowers, the small alleys around, the Venetian buildings, the ruins and monuments, as well as the view of the White Mountains, will surely enchant you! Enjoy your stay in a modern, minimalist house with some traditional elements, in an amazing setting with views of the old city of Chania, perfect for winter stays as well! A stay in the Old Town of Chania is a journey back in time, offering the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty, rich culture, deep history, and contemporary charm that define this enchanting part of Crete. Lofos Castelli House is built on the very site where ancient Kydonia once flourished, one of the most significant Minoan cities of the island. The Palace of Kydonia, now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was a thriving center of trade, art, and culture, rivaling the grandeur of Knossos and Phaistos. As you wander through the narrow, cobblestone streets, the past seems to come alive, blending seamlessly with the present. Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek influences intertwine to form a captivating architectural mosaic. The vibrant colors of the houses, the ornate iron balconies, and the soft scent of jasmine drifting through the alleys turn every step into a sensory celebration, inviting you to slow down and savor each moment. Just a short walk from the property, you will find some of Chania’s most iconic landmarks. Begin at the Venetian Fountain, a symbol of the city’s long history, before continuing to the Maritime Museum of Crete, where the region’s deep connection to the sea unfolds through historic artifacts and detailed ship models. A visit to the Archaeological Museum of Chania offers further insight into the ancient city of Kydonia and the remarkable civilizations that shaped Crete.
