Vista Residence is located in Chania Town, Greece. Rated 9.4 out of 10 based on 8 guest reviews.
Vista Residence is a calm base in Agios Onoufrios, Chania Town, Greece, suited to travellers who want privacy without giving up access to the city. The setting is family-friendly and relaxed, with non-smoking rooms and air conditioning that help you settle in after a day on the coast. Guests also mention the pool and terrace as practical bonuses: a place to cool off, linger with a drink, and keep the day’s plans flexible.

The Venetian Harbour and Firkas Fortress are roughly 6 km from Vista Residence, while the Chania Lighthouse sits around 7 km out for sunset views.
