TRADITIONAL HOTELS

& HOUSES ON CRETE

 

 

Crete offers a great variety of small and big Hotels, apartments, studios, rent rooms and private villas. The last years there's is a trend coming up to stay in old traditional Hotels or houses. Many of these buildings offer ages of history and once the owner starts to talk about that, you might hear that your are sleeping in a place where rich & famous Cretans have lived before. In Chania there are Hotels which where an office for a Minister during the period that the town was the Capital of Crete. I know some Traditional places from the inside and I wish I had a fortune to stay in all of them for a week or so....

Replace your seaview for the real Cretan atmosphere, excellent service and food, away from trafic noises for a good sleep. You can come all year to the hotels and with their low season prices you feel yourself "the King of a castle".

Metohi Kindelis dating back from the late Venetian period, was one of the few farms that in those days supplied the nearby town of Chania with fruit and vegetables. Today, the farm is still flourishing, producing a variety of fruit, mainly strawberries,tangerines, oranges, avocados, apricots, pears, berries, peaches etc, all at a limited quantity. Our products are certified by DIO, that is the official inspection body in Greece for organic agriculture. A few years ago, the owner refurbished two parts of the old main building and converted them into two independent guesthouses. This task demanded a great deal of personal commitment and hard work coupled to imaginative care so that changes would not alter the character and style of the original structure and the surroundings. The result is a retreat which provides relaxation and peace to the visitor seeking to escape from his city life. Stepping into Metohi Kindelis is like entering another world. The property has several charming exterior communal areas for use by the guests, the most impressive being the inner central courtyard. Paved with large pebbles and surrounded by the small rooms that used to be the workers' residences, it is a perfect introduction to the atmosphere of the farmhouse and the guesthouses. As part of our effort to offer our guests the very best of Crete, we are glad to introduce the service of a daily breakfast basket, specially catered to include a variety of seasonal fruit, organically produced in our farm, and a rich selection of other goods - all sourced locally and produced in a traditional and environment-friendly way. Vegeterians are always more than welcome and a ‘green' breakfast is also available . Metohi Kindelis is located 3km southwest from the town of Chania and 5km from the nearest beaches. It is a truly special place for a romantic, relaxing holiday away from the tourist crowds.
