Boutique hotel in a 600-year-old Venetian building in Chania's Old Town
Building & Heritage
Porto Del Colombo Traditional Boutique Hotel occupies a fully renovated Venetian building that is almost 600 years old. The structure retains its original architectural character with steep, winding stairs that reflect the historic charm of Chania's Old Town. Rooms are furnished with traditional handmade woodcut furniture, preserving the building's heritage while offering modern amenities like air conditioning and a minibar.
Rooms & Views
The hotel offers nine individually decorated rooms, including Double or Twin Rooms with City View and Double Rooms with Sea View. Several rooms provide direct views of the lighthouse and the Old Venetian Harbor, enhancing the guest experience. All rooms are soundproofed and feature private bathrooms, with some maisonette units including a mezzanine bedroom accessed by an additional staircase.
Location
Porto Del Colombo sits within the pedestrianised alleyways of Chania's Old Town, a two-minute walk from the Old Venetian Harbor and its waterfront restaurants. The main shopping streets, cafes, and the central bus station are all within a five-minute walk. A taxi rank is located 500 metres from the hotel, and the International Airport of Chania is 17 km away.
Breakfast & Dining
Each morning, guests are served an exceptional breakfast that includes freshly squeezed orange juice, specialty coffees made to order, and a buffet with eggs, bacon, fresh pastries, fruits, and yogurt. The hotel offers free coffee and tea throughout the day, plus daily fresh treats such as Turkish delight and a welcome drink upon arrival. Staff provide personalised recommendations for local restaurants and traditional homemade delicacies in the area.
Services & Hospitality
The reception team is available to assist with luggage handling, arrange airport shuttles (pick-up and drop-off), and provide maps with recommended walking routes and local attractions. Guests can use the hotel's tour desk to book excursions, and the property offers a laundry service for a fee of €15 per bag. For early departures, the staff packs a breakfast box so guests do not miss the morning meal.

“Located in a nearly 600-year-old Venetian building in Chania's Old Town, I found this boutique hotel offers a unique blend of history and comfort. The staff are known to be exceptionally helpful, even packing breakfast for early departures, and the meticulously renovated rooms exude traditional charm, and for me, its location is ideal for those wanting to immerse themselves in the local culture while enjoying a quiet retreat.”
