After the siege of Constantinople by the Latin in 1204 AD, Crete is seeded to Bonifatio Marques Momferato, from whom the Venetians bought the island. The borough
of Hania was divided and given to Venetian colonists, with the specific obligation to rebuilt the town of Hania.
Casa Leone dates back to the 15th century. Its first occupants were Venetians descending from a well known family of musicians, named Leone, from whom our hotel is named after.
In August 1645, the Turks seize Hania and the town is declared as the Seat of the Turkish pasha. From One of the 196 pashas who governed( 1645-1830) lived in Casa Leone. .
Hania became officially the capital of Crete in 1849 and the yearning dream for the unification of Crete with Greece came true in 1913.
At about that time Casa Leone was occupied by a Greek family until 1939 when WW 2 was proclaimed and was requisitioned by the Germans and turned into headquarters. After the war the building was returned back to its owners up to 1951.It was then sold to our family and in 1997 we decided to convert it into a small beautiful hotel.

Decorated with antique furniture, Casa Leone overlooks the charming Venetian Harbour and the 15th-century Faros Light House in Chania. It offers a waterfront terrace and fully air conditioned guest accommodations.

Chandeliers, beamed ceilings and four-poster beds with muslin drapes are standard in most of Casa Leone’s rooms and suites. Each is furnished with tea/coffee facilities, a satellite LCD TV and a seating area.

A traditional Cretan breakfast is served daily in the classic breakfast room with its large mirrors and wooden paneling. Lots of fish taverns and traditional eateries are scattered around the harbour.

Guests can relax on the sun terrace or enjoy reading a book on the courtyard with it elegant fountain. A free internet computer is accessible in the lobby.
