10/10 Exceptional

Eleutheria, our host in this family-operated hotel was wonderful. She took time to show us all of Chania's sights and recommended delicious restaurants far from the tourist trap locales circling the Venetian Harbor. The hotel smartly stocks the in-room refrigerator with fresh fruit, beer, sodas and juices -- all complimentary. They also provided us with a bottle of red wine from the family's winery. We also received a carafe of their homemade raki. I would definitely stay here again.

When I say this hotel is a five star experience, it even feels like an understatement. From the staff to the view and the idyllic environment, The Theodore is perfection. I hesitate to even write a review because I worry it will get overrun with tourists, but not writing it would be a disservice to the hotel. It’s beyond expectations. A perfect place for a quiet beach stay. Thank you Theodore!!!
