Scala de Faro

From the narrations of the Tournefort traveler in 1717 ", the building seemed to follow in structure the typical home of the time. The house had two floors with a cellar and stables on the ground floor, walls of chiseled stones in the first, tattered walls in the second one and an open-planted terrace with flowers and climbing plants. This is also shown in the construction of the dividing south wall of the 2nd floor revealed during the restoration of the building from old contracts, we know that in 1890 there was a descendant of the Softazade family, a distinguished Turkish-Cretan family.

It consists of 9 unique rooms and suites, arranged on 3 floors in the north and south, overlooking either the sea or the picturesque narrow streets of the old town and the mountains. Each floor has its own distinct features, referring to the elements of construction and the chronological phase that was created (Venetian, Ottoman, and Modern Greek periods), elements repeated in decorative motifs. The spaces were designed with the aim of following the basic architectural elements of the building and reusing original elements, shapes, and materials such as wooden paneling ceilings, wooden floors, classic doors, and stones. The materials used in the construction, such as ecological and biological insulating and mineral paints, are friendly to users and the environment there is also a possibility of combining rooms to meet the varying needs of numerous travellers, as well as exclusive use of the rooftop floor.
