Scala De Faro Hotel - Chania (Crete)
35.516533, 24.016599Overview
4-star historical boutique hotel in Chania's Old Venetian Harbour
Property & Rooms
Scala De Faro Hotel Chania occupies a 15th-century building opposite the Old Port Lighthouse, with nine rooms and suites spread across three floors. The hotel has rooms on both the north and south sides, offering sea views over the harbour or mountain views over the Old Town back alleys. Several rooms include lush private terraces, and the property provides accessibility features for guests with mobility impairments.
Location & Access
The hotel sits on the waterfront of the Old Venetian Harbour, 300 ft from the Archaeological Museum of Chania. The property is inside a pedestrian zone; cars cannot reach the entrance, and guests must walk about 1000 ft on cobbled streets from the nearest drop-off point. A lift serves the first through third floors, though guests carry luggage up one narrow flight from the ground-floor reception to reach it.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is served daily from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM on the second floor, with options like local yogurt, chia seeds, overnight oats, pastries, and eggs made to order. The hotel offers freshly squeezed orange juice that guests frequently describe as the most delicious they have ever tasted, along with a coffee machine for tea and coffee. A coffee house is located on site, and the property provides complimentary early morning packed breakfasts for guests with early departures.
Services & Staff
The 24-hour front desk includes a concierge service that books restaurants, arranges guided tours, and coordinates water sports on site. Staff members have shipped forgotten belongings to guests at no extra charge after checkout runs. Guests have called out Cristina and Anita by name as exceptionally helpful, with one business traveler stating the friendliness of staff outweighs the number of stars a hotel carries.
On-Site Activities & Entertainment
The hotel organizes walking tours, bike tours, and classes about local culture for guests interested in history and cuisine. There is a nightclub with a DJ on the property, and the waterfront location places guests directly above the harbor's restaurants and shops. Rooms have soundproofing to block buzz from the active pedestrian street below.
