    About the villa

    Around these villas, garden landscaping and comfortable sunloungers with parasols encourage guests to slow down and relax. Privacy's key here, as each villa has its own pool and sun terrace – plus a view of the surrounding orange and olive orchards.

    Located just outside Platanias on Crete's north-west coast, the hotel's a 10-minute walk away from a Blue Flag award-winning beach. Platanias is a five-minute drive away, while Chania's 20 minutes away by car – highlights here include the Venetian harbour and a bustling covered market.

    These villas celebrate Greek style, with open floor plans, exposed stone fireplaces and bread ovens. All double bedrooms have en suite bathrooms stocked with amenities.

    Holidays here come with our 24/7 Online service.

    Lovely villa
    29 Aug , 2020 JDonhols
    We booked last minute via Hotel.gr and service was excellent. Travel operator called several times to check everything was ok. Organisation was very efficient, particularly the welcome. Several villas are on a site close to Platanias - we were there in late August and it was quiet as not all were full. Lots of space and pool was a great size for our family. The road leading up to the villa isn’t in great condition and not lit at night, but it’s only a five minute walk. Staff on site were really friendly as well. Loved it.
    Wonderful Staff Property Needs Repairs
    05 Aug , 2019 kostask676, 60763
    We stayed at Caldera due to a last minute cancellation from another waterfront Villa. We want to thank the very helpful staff, Ms. Roula, Ms. Jenny and Mr. Neti for their responsiveness to repeated troubles with the actual buildings. Without them, the stay would have been very difficult. The Villas are large and spacious and we moved from Villa Zeus to Villa Hermes, which has a complete indoor pool. Both Villas have indoor BBQ's which we thoroughly enjoyed. The outdoor space is wonderful for the children to play and the quiet area is very safe and peaceful. Unfortunately, Villa Hermes is in need of repair. The electricity went out twice, with the circuit breakers malfunctioning for extensive periods of time. Another AC unit dripped so much water to cause a hazard while another AC dripped significant water on our children while they slept to wake them up, a significant safety hazard. Again, nice location, large spacious Villa and wonderful staff, but the Villas do require updating/repairs.
    Perfect place to stay in Platanias

    We have stayed here 6 years, normally for three weeks. The houses are really nice with pools outdoors and inside. It is quiet, but still close to the city and beach. You have your private parking. The hostess is Fantastic ! Book a Chef to cook in the garden, its recommended and the price is good. Our favorite place in Crete.
    Quiet & Relaxing
    05 Jun , 2018 828michaelas, 186217
    We booked this villa with Tui, set in a quiet area , just a 3 minute drive from the main strip of platinus. The villa itself was large and would be a great location for a large family or friends holiday together. We went to the local beach instead of using the pool each day, it was nice to come home for a dip after a day at the beach. The villa has pretty much everything you need on your holiday and close by is supermarkets, bars, resturants and gift shops. Relaxing and enjoyable week in the sun.

    Lovely villa. Weather mixed. Pool should be heated as sun does not hit pool this time of year. Cost to heat pool excessive. Ths staff are very nice and crete is lovely. Beds comfy. End of season so lots of shops restaurants closed or closing. People very friendly in Crete.
