Despotiko Hotel
Built in 2010, this charming, family-friendly hotel is housed in an excellently preserved building with unique and exceptional architectural value. It is located almost in the centre of Portaria village in a quiet mountain spot with exceptional views. Only100 metres from the Path of the Centaurs and Portaria Museum of Local Arts, and guests will find the nearest restaurants and bars just in a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The setting is ideal as it is just 11 km from Chania ski centre and 30 minutes away from Agios Ioannis beach. The hotel presents a lovely combination of the old-style traditional architectural features of the main building and the state-of-the-art new wing. The rooms are a pleasant surprise and offer a unique design, wide range of colours and are fitted with all contemporary comforts.
