A Neoclassical Legacy, A Timeless Hospitality.
An Aristocratic Oasis in the Heart of Chania.
Villa Andromeda is an authentic 19th-century neoclassical mansion, built in 1870 as the summer residence of Mehmet Reuf Pasha. It later housed the English Consulate and subsequently the German Consulate during the Cretan State, preserving to this day its historical character and aristocratic identity.
Located in the charming district of Halepa, in a privileged seafront setting, the villa stands next to the Archaeological Museum of Chania and within walking distance of the Eleftherios Venizelos Foundation. A scenic seaside promenade of approximately one kilometer connects the property to the Chania Venetian Harbor, offering a unique walk along the waterfront.
The villa features eight spacious, self-contained suites, each with its own distinctive character and view — from uninterrupted sea vistas to tranquil garden settings. Every suite combines period elegance with modern comfort, offering air-conditioning, satellite TV, telephone, mini-bar, kettle, coffee maker, and essential dining ware.
Breakfast may be enjoyed in the privacy of your suite, in the lush garden by the pool, or on the shared sea-view balcony. The verdant garden surrounding the swimming pool and jacuzzi creates a peaceful setting for relaxation, while private protected parking is available on site.
At Villa Andromeda, history, refined comfort, and authentic Cretan hospitality blend harmoniously.
Villa Andromeda is located by the sea in the city of Chania in the aristocratic area of Halepa. Next door is the new archeological museum.
A beautiful promenade of just one kilometer ends at the Venetian harbor. The sunsets behind the old town are magical.

Highly recommended if you want a beautiful location where the staff make you feel so very special - wonderful people all of them. We've been twice and will continue to do so! Gorgeous old building (used to be an Embassy), set in fabulous grounds with lovely big swimming pool. Breakfast on the terrace looking over the bay, or in one of many shady garden areas, you will be spoilt. The air-conditioned elegant rooms are spotless with the most comfortable beds. If you want proper service, delivered with a genuine wish to please in beautiful surroundings you'll struggle to find better. We look forward to our next visit, Vanessa & Martin. Brighton UK.

Sehr gutes Frühstück und nur 15 Gehminuten vom Zentrum entfernt. Parkplatz im Gelände. Carol-Lynne SaadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our room was architecturally gorgeous, huge, quiet, fully equipped, the hotel grounds were delightful, the view from our room and from the balcony was spectacular and the hotel location was fantastic, a beautiful walk along the water to the old town, but what made this hotel so unforgettable was the amazing staff. Helpful, cheerful, encouraging, accommodating, kind, thoughtful, I’ve run out superlatives. Highest possible recommendation. Sophie McDonaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend this place enough. 12/10. The staff were so thoughtful, responsive and kind. The view from the hotel is absolutely stunning and the rooms are spotless and have all the trinkets you need (glasses, corkscrew, plates and cutlery). Breakfasts are lovely and they go over and above to accomodate special requests. Pool/garden area is lovely and plenty of chairs of every type to relax in. Had some complications with arrival date, illness and an injury and they went over and above to be helpful. Thank you so much Emmanouela, Anna and the rest of the wonderful team at Villa Andromeda. We had the best stay! Anne Laurence LecourtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. En bord de mer, pas loin du centre de la Canée. Un petit hôtel de 8 chambres, un personnel attentif et au petit soin. Je recommande en tous points . Robert KuntzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved this place. It was the former German embassy to Crete. The building across the street was the former Greek embassy to Crete. Considering Greek and Crete united in 1913, that gives you some ideas of the age of the building. The hostess - Anna - was so welcoming, and gave great food recommendations. We stayed in room 3 on the main floor and had a walk out patio to the pool. The breakfasts are great, and we had them on the patio each morning overlooking the sea with great views Chania’s harbor proper. The proximity to the Thalassino Ageri seafood restaurant is a huge plus. If you stay at the Andromeda, make it a point to walk down there for dinner. The only potential down side to this location is that the AC didn’t get to set point (never hit 20C and stuck at 22C). The HVAC might be a bit undersized or dated or just needs a tune up. Also, the gated parking is great, but be very careful turning onto the street below as there are significant blind spots when pulling out. All in all - great five days here and highly recommended.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
