We just spent one week @ Hera In Rhea.
My wife and our two kids.
The place is stunning!
VERY charming, amazing views.
The pool and outside area is very private and luxurious.
The inside is very modern and fresh.
Next to the villa is a basketball area, so if the kids wanna play its just next by.
The villa has everything you need, washing machine, Netflix, internet, bbq, pool, garage, ac, fan etc.
We higly recommend eating at the local restaurant Arismari (5 min by car) and Parasia Vamos (about 15-20 min from villa). Vamos was awesome; family driven, cheap, great food and excellent service. Not something you thought you would find in this area.
Also, check out the beach at Thalami. Its only 10m by car from the villa. Thats a must!
A few notes:
Check in instructions was a bit unclear. As I didnt have any instructions I had to call the owner.
At the villa you will find thousends of cicadas. They are VERY noisy, during the day they make constant bzzzt (40-45dB, I did measure).
There was no household during our 1 week stay, you will find a vacuum cleaner etc in the villa.
When driving to the villa from Kalyves take the road that goes through Thalami. Do not follow the suggested route that Google maps suggests. The roads are bad, really bumpy. The route through Thalami is beautiful and charming, and alot more comfortable.
The place is very distant, you would have to drive 20m to Kalyves to buy stuff from the super market. There is a very small mini market 5min away from the villa but nothing fancy. Synka/Inka @ Kalyves is recommended.
You will regret not choosing this place, if you are looking for a quiet, romantic and charming vacation.
Thank you for having us!
