Residenza Vranas Boutique Hotel in Chania on the Harbor is absolutely gorgeous. We highly recommend this lovely property with very large suites with beautiful decor and breakfast served to your room every morning. We enjoyed the suite with the plunge pool for 2 weeks and we were kindly shown the other 3 and no question any one of them makes for a dream vacation. If we could give it 10 stars if we would. Our sincere thank you to the Residenza for the kindness shown to us and a stay that we call MagicalJude and Perc

This place is priceless! I’ve been traveling to Crete every year with my wife and I can’t pick any other hotel than this. Luxurious, romantic, fantastic view and amazing staff. Close to all the restaurants and bars, in the heart of the old harbor. Hands down the best hotel experience I had in Greece so far! Highly recommend it, 5 isn’t enough.
