Villa Dika
About This Villa
The wonderful Villa Dika is a capsule of contemporary cool that sits in the very heart of Chania. You might be forgiven for thinking that a holiday home in the centre of this bustling, vibrant resort would be cosy and somewhat tight for space but no, you will be welcomed to a palatial, spacious gem, inviting relaxation and rejuvenation. The villa, a former school, comes with outstanding living space that looks as though it is from an upmarket designer magazine, indoor and outdoor pools, a wine cellar and five ultra-cool, luxurious bedroom suites, not to mention a superb terrace and garden. Just moments from Chania’s picturesque Old Town and Venetian harbour, Villa Dika offers a private paradise liberally sprinkled with sumptuous contemporary furnishings and the very best of fittings. Its clean lines and cool vibe are just perfect for your next Greek holiday.
Chania Old Town is one of the most alluring, captivating towns of Crete. With picturesque, narrow alleys draped with colourful bougainvillaea, a fabulous fine dining scene, atmospheric bars, the most amazing sunsets and gorgeous little boutiques lining its quaint cobbled streets, you will quickly lose your heart and want to return time and time again. Just along the road are sensational sandy beaches and wonderful traditional tavernas. Crete is home to three of the most sensational beaches in all of Greece, Balos Beach, Elafonissis and Falasarna. You really must try and visit at least one of them during your stay.
Villa Dika is chic, effortlessly stylish and oozes luxury. It sits in the neighbourhood of Dikastira, a modern, elegant villa that even the most discerning of guests will be wowed with. The villa is built over two levels with three bedrooms on the ground floor along with glorious living spaces and two on the lower floor, along with the indoor pool, a second kitchen and a characterful wine cellar. Every bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom, finished to a very high standard.
The ground-floor living space is bright and airy, drowned in natural light that floods the room through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to the terrace. Ultra cool stylish sofas mingle with beautiful accent chairs, striking contemporary art, a contemporary gas fireplace, a giant smart television and chic lighting features, all under a sensational wooden beamed vaulted ceiling. At the far end of the room, a fantastically well-equipped designer kitchen offers top-of-the-range appliances and a seriously cool vibe, certain to please the chefs in your group. The central island and splashbacks all come in a deep rich grey, blending wonderfully with the cool calm colour palette. A beautiful dining table and chairs sit alongside the kitchen, under an eye-catching light arrangement. You will quickly realise that space, style and luxe living come in lavish abundance at Villa Dika.
The lower ground floor is home to a sublime indoor swimming pool with stone walls, a trendy hanging egg chair and another attractive wall which is part of the next-door wine cellar. Both places are absolutely beautiful, incredibly stylish and a total joy to be able to use. An extra kitchen and dining space complete the picture. You will enjoy a wine cooler in both kitchens so that your delicious local wines are served at the perfect temperature.
Your five bedrooms suites are heavenly, minimalist nests with beautifully dressed, sumptuous contemporary kingsize beds, trendy open wardrobe spaces, smart televisions for long lazy lie-ins, brilliant use of wood and cool colour palettes. The three first-floor bedrooms all offer access to the terrace and enjoy immaculate shower rooms. The lower ensuite bathrooms also boast indulgent freestanding baths where you can soak away any leftover stress.
Villa Dika’s terrace and garden are perfect for sunset drinks, alfresco dining and spending quality time with your family or favourite friends.

The alfresco dining area is also exquisite, coming with a barbecue and summer kitchen where your barbecue masters can create a feast sourced from local ingredients. It is a blissful spot that you will truly treasure. There are some lovely little green areas in the garden where you can hide away with your holiday book and a glass of something chilled and lovely.
