Facilities
Today, the historic site of the San Salvatore Monastery has been transformed into a living museum, offering hospitality services where guests can experience a unique blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. The majority of our facilities are centred around the picturesque garden and cloister, seamlessly blending historical elements with contemporary facilities.

Suites with en suite bathroom. The former dormitories, the monk's cells and part of the chapter house, have been adapted to modern suites.
Separate outdoors for each room, terrace or patio: The patio, with its symbolic and practical significance, serves as a personal outdoor seating area for leisure and dining.
Garden and cloister: The enclosed garden with its peristyle, originally used for prayer, socializing, and daily tasks, now serves as a furnished space for relaxation and socializing. It is also a great location for gatherings and exhibitions.
Dining: Each room now features a private dining area, replacing the communal refectory (kitchen and dining area).
Private parking: The area previously designated for pilgrims' entrance, processions and more, has been repurposed as a private on-site parking.
WiFi: A reliable internet connection is available in the rooms and common areas.

Parking

The charming old town of Chania is a pedestrian-friendly zone, with limited traffic and restricted parking options.

However, San Salvatore is conveniently situated just a few meters away from the free public parking area at Talos square, and a mere 400 meters from the former olive oil factory, Abea, which offers free parking.

For your added convenience, we also provide one on-site parking space, with priority given to families with children and guests with disabilities (booking required).

The garden at the San Salvatore Monastery has always been a place of connection with nature, where guests can relax, socialize and find peace.
