Description

On the top of a hill, among olive groves and next to a pine forest, the classical style stone Hermes Villa is built. It offers a splendid panorama of the landscape and combines the luxury with the rural way of life. The villa is located in Polemarhi, a traditional village 23 kilometers or 15 minutes drive away from the city of Chania and 3 kilometers away from Tavronitis village and the beach.

When the electric door of the garage opens, you come across an impressive picture; an imposing 370 sq.m stone built villa, surrounded by 3000 sq.m of two levels garden, overlooking the mountains, the countryside and the sea. Around the large pool, which has an integral children's area / jacuzzi, you will find sunbeds for your sunbath. In one shady corner of the garden there are a barbecue, a traditional stone-oven and a table with chairs, where you can enjoy your meals. From every point of the garden the view is bewitching.

Hermes Villa has three floors. The door of the main entrance, which is at the middle floor, opens to a spacious L – shaped area. The sunlit sitting area with a fireplace in one corner, a formal dining area and the fully equipped kitchen are found there. A French door opens to a veranda with breathtaking, panoramic view over the mountains, the green countryside and the sea. At the same floor there are a wc for the guests and a bedroom with three single beds. This room is suitable for wheel chair users.

From this floor you can take the elevator or climb the stairs to the upper floor. Three bedrooms are found on this floor; two of them have double bed, while the third one has three single beds. On this floor there is a sunlit office area with a computer with internet access. All bedrooms have private balconies with amazing view. Stairs and the elevator lead to the lower floor too. This floor consists of one twin bedroom and a games room, where a pool table, an exercise bike, a treadmill and a ping-pong table are found. The bedroom has a French door that opens to a quiet terrace and lawn area to the side of the property.

TOP VILLA

We stayed for a week with 8 adults in the villa. A few days before our arrival, we were in contact with the owner. Although we had a morning flight we were allowed into the villa immediately. On arrival there was a quantity of food (butter, charcuterie, watermelon, wine, etc) in the fridge. That was a nice entrance. The first day we noticed that an air conditioner was not working, the same day it was fixed. During our stay, the coffee machine also broke down, a new one was installed the day after. We always ate outside in the outhouse by the bbq . There is the possibility of lowering a windbreak when needed. At the clean swimming pool, there were plenty of sunbeds. During our week-long stay, cleaning was done twice and bed sheets were changed. Everything is available (soap, dishwasher, washing machine,...). On our departure, the owner came by and gave us olive oil and honey from the beekeeper nearby. We really had no complaints and can only recommend the villa. We enjoyed our stay, everything was there. Top location in peace and quiet!

Stunning!

A family holiday with 8 adults and 16 month old baby.

Most stunning views from the villa with easy access to local shops by car. Set on a hill it is peaceful and with the added bonus of our own pool and the games room the family had plenty to do on villa based days during our 10 day stay. The Villa is fully equipped and basic necessities like salt, pepper etc already there having been left by previous guests. Maria the owner is a lovely lady and was available for any problems or requests made. The added bonus of the lift made life easier for my husband and his disability.

A few observations - the bathroom fittings are looking tired and in need of some TLC (I.e shower jets going everywhere and jacuzzi bath jets needing attention). A couple of the bars separating the baby pool were broken but could be easily fixed.

All in all the good certainly outweighs the bad here and we all agreed we would certainly love to return to Hermes Villa in the future.
