Perfect stay

We had a wonderful vacation in this house. The only disadvantage is the rough bumpy way to get to the house, as my husband wanted to ride his bycicle (rennrad) and could not start at the house directly.

Special location

Hermes House is an idyllic villa in a truly amazing location looking across the bay. The infinity pool and relaxation area and each bedroom maximizes your view and immersion in the stunning Cretan coastline. It is relatively remote - an adventure to find along a bumpy track but nearby Plaka is a delightful village with supermarkets and tavernas and Almyrida and Kalyves lovely for beach, water sports and fabulous fresh dining. Frankie is a very friendly and professional host and helped us promptly when we had a power problem. Our stay will be a treasured family holiday.

Great place great view and relaxing

Easy to access despite the road amongst the olive trees. The view is fantastic, the house very comfortable with everything you need and the pool a must. We have really enjoyed it - Now you have a lot of stairs in the house, so if you need assistance you should avoid the house despite the fantastic place. Same if you want to work as the wifi is very slow….as the location is far from the village has an impact on the internet speed, (the cell network is working well) but if you come to relax THIS IS THE PLCAE. We were 6 with teens and a 12 years old and they all loved it

Fantastic views

This was a good spacious villa with stunning views and a pleasant 20 minute stroll through olive groves to a nice village. We had a great holiday but a couple of things let it down a little given the price: 1. The villa is a little more tired than pictures suggest- i.e. both parasols were damaged and wedged into base by twigs, outside kitchen had seen better days, sofas covered by blankets. 2. Too many things not working properly- electric gates stopped working, pool lights stopped working, awning over pool patio stopped working, one set of outside lights kept tripping out all lights. The gate and pool lights were fixed awning and dodgy light switch were not. This is a great property and we enjoyed our time there but the above stopped it getting 5 stars from me.

I had not seen this review and therefore not responded before now, unfortunately. The outside kitchen has new doors and a refrigerator, and all of the items are working perfectly, including the electrical system. It seems that some rainwater had got into one of the outside lights which effected the electrical system during the guests stay, but this was all rectified and the light replaced 3 years ago.

Lovely villa in an excellent location

We stayed here for a week 10/06/22. I’ll write an honest review as although we really enjoyed our stay, there are a few things to mention. Firstly, why there are no signs posted for the villa i do not know as it’s in the middle of nowhere and you have no chance of finding this place in the dark. There are many signs on lamposts etc for the other villas and even the tavernas. Even a couple of days later it was tricky to find in the property. To be honest, i resented paying €15 for a 5 minute guided taxi to show us where the villa was, €3 a minute! Please put a couple of signs up, it doesn't need anything fancy, some villas had cardboard signs up. The second thing which surprised me is the cctv. A camera covering the pool was bad enough, but one in the villa itself covering the living room and kitchen area, really? Hardly private! Although the location is rural, you need to be aware that there are several villas being built and there was the constant thumping and drilling by jcb diggers. Its also infront of the Chania airport landing flight path so sometimes the planes were noisy. The roads to the villa are ROUGH, so be careful with your hire car. The property gate was broken, so was one of the 2 poolside umbrellas giving a lack of shade and the sunroof remote was nowhere to be seen (later found in a draw) although we couldn’t use it due to the wind. Now for the good things: It’s a large villa in a fantastic cliff top location. Its well equipped with everything you need and lots of space. The pool is large and the view is amazing. There is plenty of space here. There are plenty of air conditioned bedrooms, toilets and showers. It’s a 5 minute drive into plaka village and not more than 15 minutes to other places such as Kalyves where the best local beach is. I wouldnt walk into plaka as you will be a sweaty dusty mess lol. I highly recommend Taki’s for food. We loved staying here and would return. However i think the cctv needs to be taken out of the property.

There are signs for Hermes House so it shouldn't be difficult to find. There are cameras at the villa but this are only on when there is nobody in residence, they are never on when there are guests. Any noise back in 2022 from diggers was from construction in another village, not close to the villa, but sometimes the wind can carry noise across the valley to the coast, but this would have been from a distance, and not close by. Chania airport is miles away - on the other side of Souda Bay so you may see planes in the distance but they are not noisy. The only airplane noise would be occasionally when the F-16's do a flyover when practicing, but they cover vast distances - usually the entire island.

Great stay

Very nice vacation rental and perfectly situated for a quiet getaway with a beautiful view. The property was as described and was approximately 20 mins walk from the village of Plaka. A car is definitely recommended however, the roads from Plaka to the villa are rough gravel tracks. One small issue is that not all windows in the bedrooms have roller shutters which can mean lots of light will fill the room vey early in the morning. Additionally, the WiFi does not reach the bedrooms located on the lowest level of the villa. Would recommend.
