Pros:

L'appartement très grand, la piscine et le joli jardin. Emplacement un peu excentré mais arrêt de bus tout proche donc pratique pour se rendre dans le centre.

Excellent small hotel in lovely neighbourhood.
Pros:

Very good location - 15 minutes walk to the harbour but there are buses nearby that run very regularly for a couple of euro. Grounds are very well kept and spotlessly clean. Nice pool to cool off after a hot day sightseeing. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Generous breakfast served on the terrace.

Super agréable et confortable.
Pros:

J’ai adoré la taille du lit et son confort, ainsi que la terrasse et la piscine.

Cons:

Peut-être qu’il manque un service de lavage de vêtements et un micro-ondes dans l’appartement.

To był bardzo udany pobyt!
Pros:

Położenie w samym centrum Chani, bliskość do największych atrakcji miasta, tym sugerowałam się wybierając miejsce na pobyt. Miło zaskoczyła mnie niesamowita dbałość o czystość i bardzo miła obsługa. Na każdym kroku czułam się zaopiekowana.
