Description from owner

Description

Dorothy's Dream is an ample, historic, four-bedroom residence located in the Palazzo del Rettore, one of Chania's oldest and most exquisite national monuments. Rising above the Byzantine walls of Kastelli, it overlooks the beautifully preserved Chania Old Venetian Harbour.The 200 square meters residence covers the entire top floor of the Palazzo del Rettore, a building dating from the 14th century. Set high on the fortified hill at the heart of the old town, the residence offers spectacular views to the Chania Venetian Harbour including the famous lighthouse, the Maritime Museum of Crete and the Giali Tzami Mosque as well as to the Big Blue Aegean Sea from all its northern rooms. Its south and east oriented rooms offer views to the old city and the small piazza with the lemon trees connecting the rest of the traditional residences. Its large rooftop terrace enjoys a bird's eye, 360º unobstructed view to the “White Mountains” of Chania, the Old Harbour and the nearby beaches at the horizon.
