About this property

Lindas Convent Garden Home 4 - beautiful courtyard to enjoy Mediterranean flair

This summer home in the most beautiful city of Crete has a rich history and charm!

Highlights
70sqm, 2 bedrooms with air conditioning, 7 Beds (several double and single beds), gallery and interior patio, fireplace, stone floor, idyllic with vine arbor covered courtyard, central, yet peaceful location, 150m to old harbor and town beach for refreshing morning bath as well as a charming village square with numerous taverns

History
Build by the Venetians about 500 years ago as part of a monastery right behind the old port, it was later used by the Turks as a residence. The Turks expand the smaller of the two rooms on the upper floor by a typical wooden oriel. Then 100 years ago, the Turkish inhabitants in this idyllic village atmosphere Splantsia district are replaced by Greek refugees from Smyrna (now Ismir). Our Greek-German family bought the house about 15 years ago in completely desolate condition. We lovingly modernized it and kept the original style, so that the charm of the house is still preserved today.

Equipment
The house has a living space of 70 square meters. On the ground floor a living/kitchen room with a fireplace and a bathroom with a washing machine and hot water boiler. Upstairs are two bedrooms with several single and double beds. Additional space for beds is integrated on the gallery on the upper part of the large bed room. Likewise upstairs the house has a inside patio covered with an vine arbor. The patio has an open shower and space for two more beds, mostly used by us for siesta. Finally the most beautiful room of the house is the courtyard right in front of the house. It is also covered by a vine and bouganvilla arbor. This idyllic courtyard you will leave only just for shopping or for a refreshing bath at the 150m distant city beach 'Koumkapi'.

- You have access to all the rooms and items in the house and you have the house to yourself only. - I dwell in Germany and I am available by mobile phone for all your concerns. However, we have a friend (German lady) who cares about the local issues and needs of you. She also hands out the key and is for your disposal for tips in and around Chania. - The rent is inclusive of electricity and water use. Both are rare in Crete, soo please take care of it. Electricity is produced via an oil power plant (!) in Heraklion and the oil is shipped! What a dramatic waste! Also keep in mind that water is precious on this dry island. - The house is the summer residence of our family, so there are numerous private items. Everything in the house can be used, but please use it with caution and care. - Please us the hot water boiler only for showers. Thus, you should turn the boiler off right after showering. - For doing the dishes, you can heat up the water using the water-heater right next to the sink. - Please feel free using the two bikes in the store room on the right of the main entrance. The keys are in the dresser drawer in the entrance hallway. - Bedding, towels, etc. are in the closet in the large room 1st floor and on the shelves and in the chest on the gallery. Before leaving the house, please put all used textiles in the kitchen. - For final cleaning we charged an extra and binding fee of additional 30 EUR.

Host profile image
I belong to a Greek - German big fat Greek family. We rent our summer house on our home island of Crete in Greece. It is newly refurbished and is waiting to be rented out by you.
I am looking forward to your inquiries.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house in a complete run-down condition in 1996. Our family comes from a mountain village in crete and now lives in Germany. In order to have a family location close to the sea side as well we decided for Chania. Chania is one of the most beautiful cities in Greece and we fell in love with the neighborhood. I am sure you will do so too.

What makes this property unique

The house and the micro location in old neighborhood of Spantia is just perfect. We sit in the courtyard all day and once in a while we go swimming at the city beach 200m around the corner. It takes us just one minute to the vivid square with restaurants and bars and another 5 min to the old venitian harbour. Still the location is quiet and village like.
