Villa Hermes is a striking architectural villa, spectacularly situated on the cliffs of a secluded bay with fabulous views over the rugged coastline of Crete. The steel beam construction with wood and luminous glass walls bring the landscape inside and blur the boundaries between the house and its surroundings, making it seem that the villa is one with the rocks and the sea.

The layout of Villa Hermes

The entrance to the house is on the ground floor, which is also the top floor of the villa. Here is the well-appointed kitchen, living room, and terrace. The sleek kitchen with a cooking island is equipped with all modern appliances including an oven, microwave, dishwasher, electric cooktop, refrigerator, and wine cooler. On chilly evenings, you can eat here at the dining table. The living room has a large comfortable sofa and chairs overlooking the sea and courtyard. The huge glass façade opens onto the covered terrace with dining table for eight and a marvelous lounge area. Also on this floor is a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and access to a part of the pool.

The staircase with a magnificent glass wall brings you to a lower floor where two bedrooms are located, both with a double bed and direct access to the pool. The master bedroom features a private Jacuzzi with fantastic views! Through a path in the garden, you reach the guest house with a double bed and a sofa bed for a third person. This residence has a private terrace, bathroom and a fantastic bath with breathtaking views. The guest house can be rented at an additional cost.

All the beds in the villa have beautiful linens, and the bathrooms feature luxury toiletries. The house is also equipped with WIFI internet, satellite cable TV with a DVD player, plus a stereo with a music library and docking station.

A landscaped path in the garden takes you to a deck on the sea from where you can dive into the water.
