Finding accommodations in Zagorochoria is a pleasant and easy business. Each one of the complex’s 47 villages offers a fine and pleasant stay, with their common trait being the traditional architecture and décor. The choice for the perfect accommodation is based on the location, the amenities and the room’s size. During high season, prices start at 40€ and can go as high as 150€ per night (30-40% lower during the rest of the year.) You should also know that many of them remain closed during the summer, due to low visitor traffic.

Their interior space is so pleasant and warm that it will be hard to say goodbye to it. We should also note that all rooms are spacious, while most of them offer a nice view of the neighborhood. Only a few of them, though, have a view of the hotel’s inner courtyard (!).
The hotel’s scarce disadvantages include the bad sound-proofing and the lack of parking space. (As far as the sound-proofing is concerned, the hotel bears no responsibility, as it is prohibited to intervene in a neo-classical building’s structure.)

With its quality-price ratio being at the highest level, the hotel offers what 70% of the visitors in Chania ask for…Affordable-Quality stay with plenty of benefits.
