Casa Delfino, Crete

Theofanous 9, Chania, 73100, Greece. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Luxury is taken very seriously at this elegant 17th-century mansion in the Venetian quarter. Choose from standard rooms, one-bedroom apartments and suites, which come in various sizes but are all richly fitted out with bespoke furniture, marble floors and romantic flourishes.”

Fodors review:

“Stylish and sophisticated, with chocolate and gold highlights, every room is individual and whispers history. Intimate and very grown-up, the matinee-idol looks are backed by assured and discrete service; it is somewhere that makes you feel very special. A classic.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Crete.

Telegraph review:

“This self-consciously stylish boutique hotel in the high-ceilinged house of Genoa merchant Giovanni Delfino is an easy drive from the region’s main sights. Apart from striking original features, the property has a bijou spa and some rooms have panoramic views over Chania’s lively cobbled harbor.”

Perfect stay!

Everything! Beautiful place, clean and quiet Renovated in a very special and beautiful way. The view from the roof is spectacular. Excellent location in the alleys of the old city. A magical experience, lovely people, nice and welcoming! All the staff are so kind! Also the owner of the place is very pleasant and helpful. I wish we had more time! We will definitely recommend to everyone! 😁

There are a lot of stairs, even inside the rooms... but that's because the building is historic and old, actually a UNESCO conservation building. But it's so special so we forgave 😉

We had a pre arranged taxi that the hotel arranged from the airport who greeted us and took us to Chania Talos square, where we then greeted by the hotel golf cart who took our luggage and ourselves to the hotel. The airport transfer time is aprox 30mins dependant on traffic and time of day, from the square the hotel is minutes. Once checked in our luggage was taken to our room 4 with a balcony over the courtyard . The room as you walked in had a bathroom , seating area , wardrobe , fridge, coffee facilities , two view balconies small stairs to the queen size bed. We had a complimentary bottle of wine with baclava and a card which was a nice surprise. Breakfast is daily from 07:30- 11:00 in the beautiful courtyard, with a broad range of fresh fruit and home made delicacies to suit most appetites and if you would like an omelette for example it is not too much trouble for them to freshly make it. We made use of the hotel spa pre booked packages of sense of love and royal duet, the therapists are all physio therapists and the best massages we have experienced. The hotel has a roof top terrace accessed by a lift and a few steps where you have shaded area, table and chairs and lounges , there is a bar which is serviced late afternoon until late evening, however we made use of it during our down days and had it to ourselves and anything we wanted was not too much trouble. I celebrated my birthday and I had a surprise cake which was delicious. The bed was super comfortable with a turn down service, all the hotel is clean and tidy with too many to list of other detailed facilities , however on there website. The staff work as a team and very hard to make your stay to an impeccable standard. The owner is there daily and is always ensuring everything is meeting your needs. A special mention to all the staff from the bottom upwards, Chrissy, Anthonis and Maria etc .

Not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful our stay was

3 of us stayed in the 2 room family suite for a week. Our arriving flights were canceled and delayed and then our luggage was lost… the hotel staff kept track of our flight arrival and made sure a car and driver was there to meet us and then phoned the airport every day until our bags arrived, picked them up and delivered them to our room while we were out. They also went out of their way to make or mom’s birthday extra special by getting her an ice cream cake and singing her happy birthday before we left for our yacht trip. Concierge: Alexander arranged for private tours and English speaking guides for the entire week. We went on a sunset swimming boat trip, Zeus’s cave and shepherds sanctuary, a foodie tour where we learned a live olive oil, cheese and other goodies and then the cherry on the cake… a daylong yacht trip to celebrate our mom’s 70th birthday… The room: it was stunning… it is actually 5 levels but it wasn’t difficult or awkward to get around inside. My brother had the king sized bed upstairs (top level ) and my mom and I slept on the twin beds downstairs. There were two bathrooms. One with a shower and the other with a jacuzzi tub and shower in one. My brother is a big guy 6’3 with giant feet and he sounded like a herd of elephants if he ran down the stairs but that’s the only sound we hear within the room. Beds were perfect… not too hard not too soft… water pressure and temperature were excellent. Breakfast: served in the courtyard and a good assortment of items. The staff was INCREDIBLY accommodating and had endless patience with a few guests that I personally wanted the smack upside the head because of how rude and entitled they behaved. Spa: we had 90 minute massages and hour-long full body detox treatments. The young ladies might look tiny and delicate but omg. They have hands of steel and the touch of butterflies… if you don’t book a spa treatment while staying…. You are totally missing out.

Nothing aside from the fact that I can’t live there forever

It is with certain reluctance that I write this review, purely from a selfish desire to keep Hotel Delfino a hidden treasure. To me, a hotel is more than just a place to rest; it significantly enhances my overall travel experience. And Hotel Delfino did exactly that, and more. Every member of staff radiated affable warmth, welcoming us whole-heartedly and giving invaluable insights about the must-visit places and activities around. We were fortunate enough to meet Margarita, the gracious owner, whose delightful surprise added a special touch to our stay, making it all the more memorable. This is not your typical hotel boasting conventional hotel amenities; it's a charming, converted mansion where each room tells a different story. I should mention, the rooms might not exactly mirror the booking photos which add an element of surprise and novelty to your stay. If you have specific needs or preferences, don't hesitate to drop an email or call up the property before booking to ensure your expectations are met. This hotel, its distinctive charm, and exemplary staff are too delightful to face any criticism borne out of unmet expectations. The hotel constitutes two separate structures; while one is equipped with an elevator, the second building requires a bit of stair-climbing. For us, a stay at the top floor, sans an elevator, added to the charm of the place, but perhaps this might pose a hurdle for some. Hence, it's worth discussing this in advance if it's a concern for you. We were fortunate to have discovered this gem and experience a perfect stay. We only hope we continue being this lucky and get to visit Hotel Delfino more often.

I think that adding a good qualify espresso machine for breakfast and having a skilled barista would bring the morning experience to the next level. We will definitely come again to check if you have listened :)

Very good

Overall location and morning breakfast was lovely.

There was no way to control your room temperature. It actually got pretty stuffy and warm at night. We had to sleep with the doors open, which wasn't ideal considering you heard the music and people when walking around at night. Tge lighting in the bathrooms is pretty odd as well I definitely wasn't getting ready in there, I would go out and put my Makeup on in the bedroom area by the natural light.

This is amazing place to say to soak up all that old town has to offer.

Customer service was absolutely amazing. Friendly staff made you feel at home. The room was the perfect size for a couples retreat or single traveler. Located in old town, very close to everything.

The only complaint that could make, would be about the key to the room. Its and actual key that you have to keep with you every where you go easy to lose if you aren't careful. Key card would have made entrance to the room easier, other than that no issues what so ever.

An earth moving experience of charm, history, service and relaxation.

I am an American living abroad; From the moment I approached the hotel on the walking street it was a magical experience, the hotel is situated in the Old Town area on what some might consider a back alley, but beautiful, and the courtyard of the hotel is stunning. I met the owner and she was very personable and shared some of the family history of the property. The staff was very courteous and professional, accommodating and super friendly. Relaxation at its best, I cant wait to bring family and friends back to share the experience. prefect mix of old world charm and modern amenities. The Spa was incredible and private with Hamam (Steam Sauna) and Hot Tub, and massage services were top of the line. In Chania i had limited time but wanted to see if I could book a small fishing charter. The staff made the connection but unfortunately the weather didn't allow it, but absolutely will next time. Casa Delfino gets 100% marks and extra credit given in all areas. Thank you for a superior experience. I highly recommend them.

The room (and the rest of the hotel) was beautiful, the food was excellent, the staff were friendly and efficient, and the hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the harbour, and we could even park the hire car close to the hotel for free. We visited out of the main tourist season, so the hotel and the town were pleasantly quieter.
