Clifford,
Lagoa
Offering free parking and internet access, Madonna Studios is located in a charming area, on a picturesque street in the west part of the old town, next to the Nautical Museum. Staying at the Madonna Studios you will be surrounded by traditional architecture dominated by wood and stone, and a garden full of flowers. There is free public parking 80 yards away, and the town beach is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Many tavernas also are nearby. This small hotel is very near the Archaeological Museum, Byzantine Museum, the market and old harbor. Hotel Rooms: 5

Feeling like grandma's place. Warm welcome (and sweet too, thanks to the owner who was waiting for us with an amazing apple pie!). Plenty of terraces nearby and close to shops and port. Thank you Thomais for everything.

The hotel is located in the most lovely place of Chania, near the Venetian port in a narrow beautiful Venetian street without shops or bars, just a small café opposite to the hotel to take your breakfast. Rooms are spacious, tastefully furnished, we had balcony and terrace. Everything is just perfect. The lady who runs the house herself is very kind and helpful. Top recommendation!

The proprietor was lovely and helpful. The area is perfect, right in old town, easy to explore. The room is separated into bedroom and living room/kitchen, so it would be ideal for long stays, and for making your own meals if you wanted to. The bed was very comfortable, as is the bathroom. The decor is beautiful, as is the balcony, which looks over a floral courtyard. It is a little expensive, but definitely worth the price, especially for the size, location, and hospitality.

We liked everything about Madonna Studios. Our room was simply and tastefullly decorated, and always kept spotlessly clean. The location, right in the centre of Chania's old town, was central but quiet. But, really, what sets this place apart from all others is Thomais, who runs the place. Her genuine warmth, generosity and great kindness make this a very special place indeed. We will never forget our time there. We will never forget lovely Thomais.

Madonna Studios is in a quaint and charming picturesque part of town. It is close to everything yet very quiet. It was great to have a small kitchenette and a balcony to relax on. The proprietor Thomais is kind, helpful and very thoughtful. She seems to have some kind of heartfelt connection to her town and her guests. We were sad to leave. It would be nice if breakfast were included and not an additional charge.

Super tidy and beautiful rooms in a very good location. The hostess is easily the nicest person you can find in this island of very friendly people. She is very invested in making your stay in Crete the best it can possibly be.

Everybody in the world should stay at The Madonna Studios, a quiet oasis away from our chaotic world. Discreetly run by the lovely Thomasi it's in the little passages of Xania old town close to the lovely port and the plethora of little shops and restaurants. Our room had 2 little balconies to sit in peace & read or think, we'll be going back.

We can only support what all the others have written about Thomais and Madonna Studios. She is a lovely lady, that took care of us all the time, baking pies, recommending restaurants and places to visit. She even saw us to the taxi when we left, to make sure that the we were really picked up and driven to the airport. We have no complaints about the room. We stayed in number 4 and loved it. Everything was as clean as it could be and we would like to return to Madonna studios and Thomais. We liked everything. But if you are the sort of person that want complete privacy, this is may be not a place for you, as it's quite open, and the rooms are circled round a court yard. But we loved it.

The hostess was lovely and was very generous in bringing in homemade treats for us. She had a great local knowledge and was very helpful in recommending local restaurants, gelato shops and beaches to visit. The building was charming as was the room. It was a peaceful and relaxing place to stay with a beautiful internal courtyard. Would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is situated in a quiet street of the old town of Chania, but very close to the main restaurants, cafés, etc. The room (ours was number 4) was very clean and spacious. But I think that what we liked the most was the owner's hospitality: always very nice and smiley, nothing was much of a trouble and also made us delicious biscuits and pies. It was almost as staying at family place.

We loved the 13th century room with windows and doors opening onto two balconies creating a light and airy feel. The owner treats her guests like family. We have found a spot to return to as often as possible. We would rate this 10 out of 10!

The host of Madonna Studios, Thomais, is what really what makes it stand out. The studios are spotless and in a great location but Thomais really makes Madonna Studios such a hospitable place. She is enthusiastic about telling people about Crete and offers great suggestions for excursions and restaurants. She even made us Cretan sweet cheese pies! Very nice location and super clean. Kind of high in price but well worth it if you are looking for good Greek hospitality.

Madonna Studios is breathtakingly beautiful. It's location in a cozy alleyway and the close proximity to the port make it ideal. Tomais, the owner, is the kindest and most generous person I have ever met. She greeted us with a great apple pie and cookies and during our stay surprised us with cheese pie, honey, cheeses, and olive oil and fresh orange juice. She told us where the best restaurants were and always had a warm hello. We loved everything about our week stay! Highly recommend this studio! Certainly my favorite and I've traveled the world.

The owner was wonderful! She had homemade apple coffee cake and cookies waiting for us as well as fresh cold orange juice. She gave us a city map and made several great recommendations for dinner. The room was simple, yet quite functional and extremely clean. The locatons was very central in the old town 1 minute from the waterfront and harbor. Exceptional value.

The host was very helpful and the location in Old Town Chania couldn't have been better. We stayed in a studio apartment on the third floor which had with two bedrooms, a balcony, and a patio. The fresh baked lemon cookies, apple pie, and cheese blintzes along with the coffee and orange juice provided for breakfast during our stay was a charming addition. The location was perfect. Close walks to shopping, groceries, restaurants, and the waterfront. Simply amazing!!!

Madonna studios is situated right in the heart of the charming old town of Chania. The apartments are situated in a quiet, cobbled street with no cars and are close to restaurants, coffee shops, the harbour and beach and mini supermarkets. It is the perfect location. However, without a doubt the best thing about Madonna Studios is Thomais the host. Nothing was too much trouble. She greeted us on arrival late at night with a homemade apple pie and Greek biscuits and one day brought us a special homemade breakfast. She cleaned and serviced the apartments every day and put fresh flowers in the rooms. We felt very lucky to be able to stay at Madonna Studios. Thank you Thomais. Noelene

The location of Madonna Studios is in the old town and extremely close to everything one may wish to see and do in the old town. There is also a mini mart close by.The owner is very pleasant and helpful going out of her way to help us with information and provide us with special treats - cookies, pie, icecream. The rooms are clean and pleasant, they each have a small balcony space for sitting out on. There is a fridge in the room and the ability to make tea and coffee. Nothing really except one night some people walking by on the street below were rather loud and seemed to hang about for a long time but that only happened once. It is a car free zone so it is generally a quiet location.

The host was exceptional, she really does care about all her guest. Its 100% genuine. Nothing was too much bother. When we arrived she had a bottle of wine and apple tart for us. She was our resident tour guide and happily showed us the best spots around the town. At the end of the trip she even walked us to the taxi. We will be back, thats for sure.

The apartment was very comfortable, with air conditioning and two terraces. The room was thoroughly cleaned every night. The location is superb, with the old port being seconds away form the hotel, which is in one of the small typical Mediterranean streets. Our host was unbelievably friendly and helpful, greeting us with coffee and apple pie, and making us typical Cretan sweets after our business meetings. She also gave great recommendations for restaurant. Definitely one of the best places we ever stayed in and a great value for money.

“Fantastic staff - Marilena and Aliki were so helpful, charming and competent. The location at the old harbor is lovely. The breakfast was delicious - I will never get over that Greek yoghurt and honey! Finally, the hotel is in a beautifully restored old building, and the restoration was done in very good taste. Very nice place!” Ingrid, Albany |
