Villa Andromeda - A restored 19th-century neoclassical mansion in Halepa with sea views, two outdoor pools, and personalized breakfast service

A restored 19th-century neoclassical mansion by the sea in the historic district of Halepa, Chania, Villa Andromeda earned a 9.4/10 rating on Booking.com for its three-star accommodations. Built in 1870 as the summer residence of Mehmet Reuf Pasha, it later served as the English and German Consulates during the Cretan State. The villa offers eight self-contained suites, each with a bedroom, bathroom, and sitting area, equipped with air-conditioning, satellite TV, telephone, and mini-bar. Suites feature direct sea views, garden settings, or combinations of greenery and glimpses of the Cretan Sea. Breakfast is served in the suite, in the garden beside the pool, or on the shared balcony overlooking the sea. The property includes two outdoor swimming pools (one with a kids' pool), a lush garden, sun loungers, and sun umbrellas. Secure private parking is available on site, and the villa is located next to the new Archaeological Museum and close to the Eleftherios Venizelos Foundation. A one-kilometer seaside promenade connects Villa Andromeda to Chania's Venetian Harbor. Complimentary beach and pool towels are provided, and the staff offers personalized dining and cultural recommendations.

Pros

Breakfast includes homemade jams and local Cretan products, served at guests' preferred location.

A scenic 15-20 minute walk along the coast promenade leads to Chania's Old Town and Venetian Harbor.

The garden area with two pools is spacious and well-maintained, providing a quiet retreat.

Staff consistently praised for warmth, attentiveness, and personalized service.
