Old Town Apartment | Dorothy's Dream: amazing view, history and luxury

4 Bedroom Apartment in Old Town, Chania

Dorothy’s Dream is located in one of Chania’s most exquisite national monuments. The 200 sqm residence is on the top floor of the “Palazzo del Rettore”, a building dating from the 14th century with spectacular views of the Chania Venetian Harbour.
Set high on the fortified hill at the heart of the old town, the residence offers spectacular views to the Chania Venetian Harbour including the famous lighthouse, the Maritime Museum of Crete and the Giali Tzami Mosque as well as to the “Big Blue” Aegean Sea from all its northern rooms. Its south and east oriented rooms offer views to the old city and the small “piazza” with the lemon trees connecting the rest of the traditional residences. Its large rooftop terrace enjoys a bird’s eye, 360º unobstructed view to the “White Mountains” of Chania, the Old Harbour and the nearby beaches at the horizon.
There are four rooms:
1. The Rector’s Suite which sleeps 2-4 persons with a king size bed and a bed-sofa which can be converted into two separate single beds. It includes an en-suite bathroom and a private balcony with a superb view of the Venetian Harbour.
2. Dorothy’s Room sleeps 3 persons with one double and one single bed. It has a private balcony and views towards both the Harbor and the White Mountains. It shares a bathroom with the Red Room.
3. The Romantic Room is a spacious room that sleeps 2-4 persons, with a double bed and a single bed that unfolds into two separate single beds. It has an en-suite bathroom and a view to the White Mountains and the Palazzo yard.
4. Need more space? We have one more room which we call the Red Room due to the Sienna colour of its walls. It is a smaller yet very cosy room. With one double bed it can accommodate up to two persons and offers views to the Venetian Harbour, the small backstreets of the old town and the White Mountains. It shares the main bathroom with Dorothy’s Room.
The residence includes a fully equipped kitchen, a living/dining room and exclusive access to the terrace.

Summary: Beautiful, historic property, well located for easy walk to Old Town Chania. Host Zoe greeted us with snacks and drink, and reviewed the property details. Comfortable for 7 people, but it was too hot to use the terrace much during the day. Would gladly stay again

Scott M. Jun 19, 2025 07:23:46 PM

Summary: Absolutely amazing place to stay in Chania. A short walk to old town. The roof top deck has stunning sunset views. Zoe was very helpful in suggesting things to do. Would highly recommend for families or groups of friends.

Summary: This property is unreal every single thing about it is amazing. Zoe checked us in and gave us a tour as well as lovely Greek snacks. The property has everything you could need the beds are so comfortable the rooms are large, the kitchen is well stocked, they also left us fresh peaches and Greek yogurt, feta wine and water. We lived on the roof top patio you can’t even describe the views and how large it is! So close to all of the shopping and restaurants we did not want to leave Chania and this property was more than we could have expected!!!

Summary: Noisy but nice

Harry K. Jul 22, 2024 02:03:21 AM

Summary: My family of 7 adults stayed here. It was wonderful. We all had our own rooms and beds. It can sleep 4 couples comfortably. Alex was great to work with and Zoe was there to show ys the keys and gave us lots of local information and even goodies to eat .. the location hasa rooftop view of the entire old town waterfront. It is a historic building that is part of the old town history. We had no problem but if you have a problem with stairs you should look elsewhere. We had no problems at all and would stay here again.

Summary: We had been to a few Greek islands on a prior cruise and decided to go back and spend some time there. Crete was amazing and Dorothy's Dream was the perfect location. The views were stunning and the property was extremely clean. Zoe and Alex took care of everything. Our transportation from and to the airport were right on time. Zoe was there to welcome us when we arrived and had food for us after a long day of travel. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends and we hope to come back again in the future.

Summary: Beautifully restored former Rector’s palace from 1624. Spacious with modern amenities. Amazing views in the heart of the old town/harbor. Alex is very responsive and Zoe provides great information and is always available during your stay. Steep stairs going up, but if you take the time, it’s definitely worth every step!

Anna M. Sep 29, 2023 08:42:19 PM

Summary: We had high expectations for our stay at Dorothy’s Dream in Chania, and it did not disappoint! From the pre-trip questions and recommendations by Alex, to the warm welcome by Zoe - everyone we met was incredibly helpful and responsive. The apartment is truly one-of-a-kind, with spectacular views and a perfect location for strolls into the Old Town for delicious dinners. Our family of 6 made some incredible memories together on this trip and I would highly recommend. Thank you Alex, Zoe and team!!!!
