The Arts Villa,
owned and operated by Katerina and Kostas, is located in
Kalamaki, Nea Kidonia, Hania. The
villa provides level entrances to the ground floor studio, west
bedroom and games room. Entrance to main floor is accessible from the
parking area, as well as from the dinning terrace by the kitchen and by
the open-air tower's deck. The upper floor is accessed only with the lift,
which necessitates a step down and a portable wooden ramp.
There are two accessible washrooms, which include a roll-in shower at the ground floor
and a bathroom on the main floor. Both have 45cm high toilettes (with 8 cm
added lids), accessible washbasins, and gripping bars. The bath-lid is 53cm
high. The small step at its entrance is accessed by a portable wooden
ramp. The ground floor's newly installed roll-in shower room has a 90cm
wide door that opens outwards and outside the wash basin.
The other shower room and bathrooms have a small step, inward doors and
not enough room to maneuver.
The main floor's bedroom and bathroom (which were specially designed to
facilitate the needs of my oldest daughter, Stella, who has Cerebral Palsy) have
doors that open outwards and are wider.
All other bedrooms have inward doors at least 75 cm wide and room to
maneuver. All bedrooms with twin beds can be 45cm high. A lift gives access to all floors. It has 80cm X 110cm free
space, but must be used only for guests with mobility problems and their
assistants at their own responsibility.
There is curving, slopping path leads to the pool, but a
pool-hoist has not yet been installed.
