The Villa was fantastic and exactly as advertised. Really easy check-in process and the team were always on hand (including really swift clear up after a sandstorm!). Thank you!
Had a very enjoyable stay at Villa Hera - outside space and pool are fantastic and the villa had everything our family of four needed. First time in Sissi and will definitely return! :-)

We had a fabulous holiday & the Villa lived up to expectation. The Villa had excellent amenities.
Great location.
Lovely & quiet, but 10 mins walk to the beautiful harbour area.
Audrey was a fabulous host & answered all our queries immediately .
Really nice property situated within walking distance of the village of Sissi. The pool and grounds were lovely and the villa clean and modern. The agent was easy to contact and gave good recommendations of things to do and places to eat. The one small problem we had when we were there was sorted out very quickly and efficiently. Overall very much to be recommended!

We are so pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your stay and our services. Thank you for taking the time to review us. perhaps we may welcome you back one day , warm regards, Audrey & the team of Luxury villas on Crete
We had a great time in Villa Hera sisi, as soon as the electric gate opens you see the huge pool and grounds of the house. The villa has everything you need and is only a 10 minute walk to all the tavernas, shops and bars. The harbour is so pretty and the sunsets amazing !
We spent our 2nd week at Villa Hera having moved from Villa Tyghi when our group downsized.
We loved the pool and the amazing outdoor space. The property felt very welcoming and was like home from home. All in all a fabulous 2 weeks holiday.
From booking to check-out Audrey and her team at luxury villas on Crete made sure out stay was absolutely perfect. The villa was much better than I expected (and I was expecting something fantastic) the pool was the perfect temperature, size and depth for all ages, the villa well equipped with starlink WiFi (which we all loved as we brought our son’s PS5 so he could play with friends when he’d had enough sun) the village is perfect, safe, friendly and full of fantastic restaurants. This was a holidays we’ll remember forever. Can’t wait to come back!
As a family of 4 Villa Hera was perfect for our holiday. The villa was spacious, clean, comfortable with the highlight being the pool. The kids had loads of fun every day in the pool as did we. Audrey and her team looked after us very well and were very attentive when we had any queries during our stay. The town of Sisi is picturesque, with some lovely restaurants, very friendly people and the most amazing sunsets. Highly recommend this villa for a family holiday, we will definately be back :)
The house suited us perfectly. Space, pool and aircon.
All flat areas and a big grassy area at the back.
Pool is not fenced so caution with young children needed.

Thank you for staying with us

We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Hera. Communication with Audrey and her team at Luxury Villas on Crete was excellent before and during our stay. The villa is very spacious for a group of 6 and the pool large and inviting. It’s a short walk into the centre of Sisi with it’s many excellent restaurants and bars and a couple of supermarkets. The two beaches in Sisi are nothing special but that’s probably what has stopped Sisi from being over-developed like other local resorts. There are some lovely beaches a short drive away. Overall we had a great time at Villa Hera.

Villa Hera was nicely situated. It was a 10 minute walk to SiSi and 30 minutes to the beach.
SiSi was a relatively small and quiet coastal village. It had 3 good supermarkets and a good range of restaurants. Most within walking distance but some nice places in neighbouring villages such as Milathos. A good base to explore the East and South of Crete.
Villa Hera is good for 2 or 3 couples or a family of 4-6. All facilities present with pool looked after and cleaned twice a week. Any little hiccups were dealt with promptly and Audrey and her team were readily available. Their HQ is in SiSi. Good, relaxing holiday and would return.

It was our pleasure to host you and your family
Thank you very much for your review and we are at your disposal for any future holidays in Crete,
Best Regards, Audrey & team of Luxury villas on Crete
This was our first time in Crete so we weren’t sure what to expect. Sisi was absolutely beautiful ❤️
The villa was PERFECT and had everything we needed. It was very clean and the pool was lovely. The views from the balcony were just beautiful.
All the eateries, supermarkets and the port were a short 10 minute walk away. We arrived at 11pm and there were some bottles of water in the fridge, a bottle of wine and some snacks which was really appreciated.
Audrey and George were extremely helpful whilst we there and nothing was too much trouble. Shout out to Nikos the taxi driver and his son also as they were also so lovely and helpful.
We can not wait to go back 😊

Your review and opinion is very much appreciated. It is now published on our website.
We hope to welcome you back some day.
All the best, Audrey & the team of Luxury Villas on Crete!
We hebben een heerlijke ervaring gehad in dit verblijf. De accommodatie is erg netjes, schoon en de bedden heerlijk! Het zwembad perfect en ook de locatie is super. We hebben een top verblijf gehad.
Maison spacieuse et confortable, malgré la proximité d'une autre maison en location, parfois bruyante. L'accueil, le transfert à l'aéroport et la réponse rapide à tous les petits problèmes ont été très appréciables.
Wir hatten einen Wunderschönen Urlaub auf Kreta und in Sisi.
Die Unterkunft ist sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Der Pool hat einen schöne Größe und lädt zu erfrischenden Bädern ein.
Die Unterkunft ist im unteren Bereich gut mit einem Rollstuhl nutzbar.
Das Beste an der Unterkunft war die Gastgeberin! Audrey hat stets sofort reagiert und alle unsere Bitten sofort erfüllt. Sie hatte für jede Frage eine passende Lösung.
Danke Audrey!
Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier und bei Betreuung durch Audrey Urlaub machen.

Wir waren eine Gruppe mit 6 Erwachsenen. Der Aufenthalt hat uns allen super gefallen: das Haus, der große Pool, die Lage (nur 10 Min. zu Fuß zum wunderschönen Fischerdorf Sisi), unkomplizierte Autovermietung incl. Transport vom und zum Flughafen, und vor allem die sehr gute Kommunikation vor und während unseres Aufenthaltes mit Audrey. Wir können die Agentur und die Villa Hera nur weiterempfehlen.
Thank you for organising everything so well, from the airport transfers and car hire and we really enjoyed our stay on Crete and especially at Villa Hera and are already looking forward to coming back again next year.
Kelvin
From the start of booking the villa, the communication with Audrey was spot on. The villa gave us all a ‘wow’ feeling when we first arrived and was superb in all aspects. Excellent facilities with good sized pool. Initial reservations concerning location and distance from Sissi were unfounded as only a short 15 minute walk through the olive groves. Sissi is a beautiful small town with a small harbour and a number of excellent tavernas. Can recommend Cactus Bar for a drink during the day as great views and a funny host.
Would certainly return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet resort with great food and hospitality.

Great Villa, fantastic company
Lovely, well equipped and maintained villa with fantastic pool. Sissi is full of lovely restaurants and bars which is a 15 minute walk from the villa. Audrey and her team were really helpful and well organised with tips like picking your luggage up from the airport so you can get away with hiring a smaller car for the duration of your holiday. She had great tips for visits, beaches and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Audrey Thomassen
My name is Audrey Thomassen and I am the property manager of Villa Hera.
Eighteen years ago my husband and I came to Crete for the first time on a holiday. It was love at the first sight and it didn't take too long when we decided to buy a piece of land and built our holiday home. After having enjoyed our own ‘home away’ for a few years and getting to know the local people and the surroundings a little better, we decided to construct a few villas for rent for luxurious holidays. We were convinced that Sisi and its surroundings are ideal for holiday makers that value tranquillity, privacy and comfort. In the meantime other villa owners joined Luxury villas on Crete and started renting their villas through us. Together we make sure that our guests are being taken care in the highest standards and that they spend here on the beautiful island of Crete their unforgettable holiday in lavish, comfortable and luxurious surroundings.
