Villa Dionysia, which is located in the
Turkish Quarter of the Old Town of Chania.
has three bedrooms and two bathrooms,
and access to the roof terrace, from where
there will be panoramic views of the Old
Harbour as well as the White Mountains.

Villa Dionysia is considered to be one of the
best renovation projects around the Old
Town of Chania, as it was described by
people walking by, including students from
the Architectural Department of the
University of Crete.

The house was purchased in 2007, and due
to its location and the history behind it had
to obtain a great number of permits from
both the Archaeological Department and the
Building Authorities of Chania before
renovations could begin, so the renovation
of the villa started only in October 2008 and
it took place in three different stages, with
last and largest one starting in March 2010.
During the renovation, we replaced almost
everything in the house, but we kept its
historic and traditional character and tried to
match it with some modern features and
facilities such as the roof garden. The old
flat terrace had not been used much in the
past and it wasn`t until we climbed up there
and saw how beautiful the views were, so
we decided to make the most from it. Now,
one can have panoramic views to the
Venetian Harbour; the White Mountains and
across the Old Town of Chania.

Internally the house looks incredible. The
plan was to show all the old stone features,
including all old stone window sills; all the
stone work around all doors and windows
as well as new and old arches. The internal
north side stone wall of the building remains
at its original state. All these stone works
are accompanied by real oak wooden floors
in the 3 bedrooms and the living room;
travertine/marble bathrooms, limestone
floors in the kitchen and the lounge areas;
fine-looking custom made oak kitchen and
wardrobes as well as cast iron hand made
staircase and light fittings. The terrace with
the spectacular views to the harbour and
across the old Turkish Quarter and Saint
Nicholas church are covered with limestone;
and have a sitting/sunbathing area for
relaxation surrounded by mature trees;
jasmine and bougainvillea. Due to its
location (on three corners) the villa has light
and fresh air from three sides.

The ground floor consists of one bathroom
and a storage area; the first floor consists of
the master bedroom and the master
bathroom; the second bedroom and a sitting
area, and the second floor consists of the
third bedroom, and the open-plan lounge,
living area and kitchen. It also has access to
the roof terrace with glass-roof entrance.
The master bedroom will has a king size
bed; a large vanity unit; oak wardrobes and
bed-side cabinets, whereas the second
bedroom, which used to be the old kitchen
has a double bed; a large vanity unit, which
used to be the old stone baking oven; oak
wardrobes and bed-side cabinets. Finally,
the third bedroom has two single beds;
wardrobes and a bed side cabinet between
the two beds. All bedrooms have wi-fi
internet, satellite TVs; A/C units; electric
heaters and beddings.

In the living room the villa has a large
plasma satellite TV; an iPod docking
system; DVD player; A/C; electric heater
and a gas stove. The kitchen is fully
equipped with an oven, dishwasher,
microwave, kettle, coffee-maker, dish-
washer, washing machine and a big fridge-
freezer.

All bathrooms are fully equipped with a
shower (in both rooms), and a bathtub in the
master bathroom. In both bath rooms we
have electric heated towel rails.
The roof terrace is furnished with sun-beds,
settees and a dining table with chairs.
Parking is also available in the small square
next to the house.
The villa is within a very short walking
distance to the port as well as three small
sandy beaches in the Koum Kapi area (east
of the Venetian Harbour) and about fifteen
minutes` walk to the beach at Nea Hora,
which has a fantastic marina (west of the
Venetian Harbour).
