OUR REVIEW
This re-discovered area of Chania - the Splanzia area - is on the
edge of the marina which leads on to the Venetian harbour, from where the old
buildings of Chania's famous waterfront are on view.
A 5 minute walk from the rich-produce and gift-packed indoor
central market, 3 minutes from the waterside of the marina end of the Venetian harbour
(which is itself barely a 10 minute walk).
Splanzia Hotel is an elegant, family-owned small town hotel with
exposed stone, fine rooms with antique decor, pleasing bathrooms and a
feel of solid quality. Converted with taste and inspired design features, it opened in 2006.
The hotel's stone walls and arches blend with antique and chic design
and furnishings. At the entrance, Splanzia Hotel has an
uncluttered small, smart cafe which leads to a walled courtyard. On a mild
sunny day breakfast is served in the courtyard or if you prefer (and
on less inclement mornings) indoors, where a tasty preparation for
your day is delivered to your table. The courtyard retains an ancient
Turkish well - functioning (but not recommended for a drink of water
these days!).
Giving the Italianate feel befitting its Venetian origins, a find of
an inn, a charming small hotel, however you describe it, this is a
pleasing & different way to enjoy
Chania.
If even more enjoyment by Chania's waterfront, or shopping its narrow old streets or cafes, and
chances to try even more local dishes seems something to leave for
later - on one or other mornings of your visit - perhaps basking in the
rooftop terrace sun may do the trick.
Shops of all sorts are at your starting point as you walk out the
entrance, a wonderful local foods and wines specialist shop is two
doors away.

 CreteTravel.com guest experiences of Splanzia Hotel [Click here to SHOW/HIDE]
The hotel (Splanzia) was great for the price--particularly the staff (and the huge and tasty breakfasts). Very accommodating. The back rooms (overlooking the courtyard) were a good choice: large and quiet.
I think our favorite activities were hiking the Samaria gorge and a day trip to Argyryopoulos (especially after talking with, and getting a town map from, the owner of Lappa Avocado in the main square).
You guys were extremely helpful and easy to work with!

Both the island and the people were wonderful. The hotels were of a very
high standard as was the customer service. [ In addition to the Lato Hotel,
Heraklion and the Veneto Suites Hotel, Rethymno,] we also stayed 2 nights at
the Splanzia Hotel in Chania.
Copyright CreteTravel.com - protected You may be interested to note that the
customer service provided by the family at this hotel was exceptional.
We would also like to thank you too for your help and attention and we so
enjoyed our stay on your lovely island that we plan to return again next
year.
Kind regards,
Sandra and Derek Wright
