Slow mornings, a short walk from the old harbour
Small, carefully finished apartments in central Chania — the kind of place you unpack properly and stop checking the map.
The idea
One apartment, looked after properly
Arancione is a single, fully renovated apartment on a quiet street in central Chania, five minutes' walk from the old town — not a block of identical rentals. Terrazzo floors, oak joinery, a bright walk-in shower room, and a sheltered terrace that catches the morning sun.
We live here. If something needs fixing, someone is around the corner — and if you want to know where the locals actually eat, just ask. There are always a few local treats waiting in the kitchen when you arrive.
Where you'll stay
The apartments
One available today, with more of the building being restored. Each one gets the same treatment: real materials, a proper kitchen, and outdoor space you'll actually use.

The neighbourhood
A town best seen on foot
Chania wears its history openly — Venetian arsenals on the waterfront, an Ottoman mosque at the harbour mouth, and lighthouse walls you can walk out along. Almost nothing worth seeing is more than fifteen minutes away.
Walk east for the covered market and the leather-workers' lane. Walk west for Nea Chora beach, where the tavernas put their tables on the sand. Or drive an hour for Balos, Elafonissi and the mouth of the Samaria Gorge.
- KTEL bus station — 30 m from the door
- The covered municipal market — 650 m
- Nea Chora beach and its fish tavernas — 1.4 km
- Chania airport (CHQ) — 15 km
- Venetian harbour and lighthouse — a 15-minute walk
