About this property

Villa Hermes - Extravagant, hideaway villa by the sea

Nestled on a rocky hillside, this luxurious seaside retreat is a masterpiece of Mediterranean architecture. The waves crash onto the shore just a couple of metres below giving the villa the distinct impression of an anchored boat.

The entire property has been designed to blur the boundaries between the building and its stunning natural surroundings. Completely stripped of any superfluous décor, emphasizing the vista across the rugged coastline of Crete, the ever-so-cool monochrome interiors blend harmoniously with the rough, wild Cretan landscape. Wooden floors and minimalist furnishing in light wood paired with glass walls, steel and rock elements offer a twist that allows guests to remain focused on the views.

However, the X-Factor here is privacy: Bask in the serenity of a secluded property and drink in the endless blue of breathtaking sea views even from the beds of its three master bedrooms.

The first master bedroom, located on the ground floor, features an en-suite bathroom and, through its vast glass opening offers an unsurpassed view to the sea and to the illuminated rocks. The second and the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom located on the lower level has direct access to the plunge pool. A third master bedroom with its bathroom are found on the lower floor of the villa.

An absolutely autonomous guesthouse for visitors further enhances the feeling of exclusivity in this majestic villa as everything here adds up to an utterly relaxing retreat for families looking to connect and/or friends looking to relax and recharge in absolute serenity and total privacy.

Exterior
Layering itself down the side of a rocky cliff, the villa is cut into the landscape effortlessly embracing the elements of nature. Details, such as the big rock which has been turned into an element of the structure, or the small waterfall linking the property’s main pool with a plunge pool a level below, create a restful sanctuary of peace and serenity just a stone's throw from the beach. Meanwhile, the pool’s glass edge makes you feel as though the water flows right into the sea! Throughout the villa guests are encouraged to indulge in a joyful sense of harmony, which appeals to devotees of the Cretan spirit.

In this enchanting hideaway eco-awareness coexists with contemporary aesthetics. Frugal lines and straight edges frame the raw magnificence of the natural setting high above the Libyan Sea, without sacrificing the comfort of direct accessibility by car.

*** The rates shown include the main building of the villa (3 bedrooms, 6 people maximum). The use of the guesthouse, suitable for 3 persons, will be paid in addition.

Please be aware that a 10€ per night Climate Resilience Tax is applied to all reservations from 1st of March to 30th of October.

Extraordinary in all ways
Everything about our stay was extraordinary. The house is incredible - an architectural masterpiece - the spaces are all created so well. Every bedroom is perfect, the many decks, the pools, THE VIEW all sublime, gorgeous, and restful. Dimitri took incredibly great care of us in all ways. He guided us to the villa, checked us in, bought us groceries, booked a boat tour, advised on beaches, arranged dinners, and made and brought us incredible breakfasts every day. We all loved everything about this house. It is quite remote, but that contributed to the harmony and peace beauty of our experience. We loved the local taverns. We drove to beaches. It was a perfect week and we will be back.

Stunning place - breathtaking views, great comfort
Hermes is a a great house in a very exclusive setting. And the very friendly service of Filippa and her team made the stay even more enjoyable.

Private and Attentive to Detail!
This home was everything that it purported to be - modern, beautiful, private, with a great layout (for a family or a group of friends.) The view from the home is amazing, and though it's part of a cluster of four uniquely designed spaces - all with private gardens and pools, it is truly secluded. What surprised us, though, was the care that we received from Filippa, the site manager; she was amazing! The AM breakfasts were sweet, and the nearby taverna run by Yanis and Xania was excellent.

Perfect stay in Crete
This place is perfect! When we arrived late at we had an amazing view of the stars they where so clear. Villa Hermes is perfectly located on a cliff with an amazing unobstructed view of the bay. Litterly meters away from the private beach with crystal clear waters!! The villa is very spacious an luxurious with a lot of windows so everywhere in the appt u have an amazing view of the sea. EVEN IN THE INDOOR JACUZZI AND SHOWER!! The villa has all the aminities that u should expect like BBQ well equipped kitchen and lovely staff that take care of everything we even got fresh fish delivered on request on day for our BBQ! They also had great tips for nice places to go do sightseeing we saw some beatiful beaches in the area and had great food thanks to them. We would definetly come back here for another stay.

It doesn't get any better than this
The villa is even better than on the photos. Service is impeccable and high standard. Somebody was available at all hours in case of necessity. This is for everyone that wants a 5 star experience in all natural surroundings, loves peace and quiet, wants to go to sleep with the waves of the sea in their ears. A small piece of the road to this villa is not paved, a normal car can easily drive it but do not hire an extremely low set vehicle. A good local restaurant delivers meals to you on request and it is delicious.
