Villa Hermes is located on an elevated plot approximately four kilometres from the village of Tavronitis and around 22 kilometres west of Chania. The property offers five bedrooms, generous interior living space, and extensive gardens and terraces, with views across the surrounding countryside and out to sea.

Set within mature landscaped gardens, the villa features traditional stone architecture with multiple balconies and terraces. The interiors reflect a rustic, traditional style, with a bright and spacious living area with large windows and glass doors allowing ample natural light. The room is furnished with a fireplace, a seating area, and a formal dining table. Adjacent to the dining space is a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast table and direct access to the garden. A guest toilet with a washing machine is located nearby. An internal elevator provides access to all three levels, offering convenience for guests with mobility considerations.

The villa includes five air-conditioned bedrooms: three twin rooms and two double rooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. Two bathrooms feature turbo massage baths, while two others are equipped with turbo massage showers. All bedrooms include televisions, DVD players, and access to a private balcony or terrace. One of the twin rooms is on the lower ground floor, opening to a private terrace and lawn. This level also contains a games room and gym, equipped with a pool table, table tennis, exercise bike, and treadmill. Another bedroom with three single beds and an accessible shower is located on the ground floor. The first floor includes two double bedrooms and one room with three single beds, each with ensuite facilities. The bedrooms follow a consistent design theme with wooden ceilings and furnishings.

Outdoor amenities include a 10m x 5m swimming pool with a separate children's section, a sun deck, a shaded alfresco dining area, and a built-in barbecue and pizza oven. The garden features lawns, mature trees, and planted borders. The villa offers wide-ranging views of the White Mountains and the coastline. While the property provides a peaceful setting for relaxation, nearby beaches, traditional villages, and coastal towns are easily accessible.

What Oliver loves...

  • Villa Hermes enjoys a wonderful, elevated position with the most amazing views that stretch from the White Mountains to the sparkling turquoise sea below and the silhouette of Chania to your left, 180 degrees of sheer pleasure
  • The villa’s gardens and terraces are delightful. With mature shrubs and trees and numerous terraces and balconies, you can always find a shady space to enjoy your holiday book 
  • This traditional villa oozes charm and a totally authentic feel
  • There are amazing beaches within easy reach of the villa, Falasarna, Elafonisi and Balos. They are all spectacular and you should definitely visit at least one of them
  • Your barbecue masters will love the outdoor kitchen area with its traditional bread or pizza oven and barbecue!

What you should know

  • The villa is roughly 5km from the nearest beach so you will need to drive to jump in the sea
  • The villa is luxurious in many ways with en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom though you may find the choice of furniture and fittings to be a little traditional in styling
  • Two of the bedrooms offer three single beds, perfect for children though if you are all adults, you may want to stick to ten guests
  • You must make sure that you have time to visit Chania Old Town. It is captivating and utterly beautiful with a fantastic dining scene. Although there are plenty of walk-in waterside eateries, it is best to book in advance for some of the more popular restaurants such as Tamam and Pallas with its gorgeous rooftop dining space
  • The villa offers an elevator which is helpful for those with mobility issues
