Welcome to "CASA LEONE" Hotel,
an authentically restored, historic Venetian villa built
in the 15th century, situated at the romantic Venetian port
of Chania. Its original owners were Venetians descended from
a well-known family of musicians named Leone, from whom our
hotel has taken its name.
During the Turkish occupation it became the residence of
a pasha, until Crete became an autonomous state and Casa
Leone was occupied by a Greek family. During World War II
the building was requisitioned by the Germans and turned
into one of their headquarters. When the war ended, the Greek
owners of Casa Leone returned, where they lived until selling
it to our family in 1951.
It took two full years to complete the restoration of CASA
LEONE. After much work and with painstaking care, under
the oversight of the Archaeological Service, CASA LEONE
finally began to operate as a hotel in 1999.
Today, we offer you five exclusive and capacious suites
that we hope, together with our spacious lobby and charming
courtyard, will transport you back in earlier times to the
romantic atmosphere of the Venetian period. For your comfort,
all suites are equipped with air-conditioning, heat, private
bathroom with shower, TV, fridge, hair-dryer, safe and Wi-Fi
internet-access.
The Casa Leone Hotel is open year round.
