Detached Mountainside Villa with Panoramic Sea Views in Beautiful Vlicha Bay
Villa Hemera is nestled into the hillside of the peaceful, beautiful and prestigious Vlicha bay, just minutes from the historical town of Lindos. The villa has breathtaking panoramic views of the crystal blue waters of the Aegean sea (the best in the bay due to the villa location). Take a two minute stroll down to the beach where you will find tavernas (who will serve you drinks on the beach) and a mini-market for all your necessities (a supermarket is also available at the entrance to the bay for 'the big shop' if needed)

Most beautiful villa we have ever stayed in, we would love to come again. The view is quite incredible, the villa is beautifully and thoughtfully designed with everything you need, including wine and food on arrival! Very close to incredible beaches of Lindos. St Pauls
This was our third stay at the villa. The pool area is lovely & the view of the bay is stunning. The kitchen is well equipped & the lounge area has a huge TV with a huge choice of DVD's if you enjoy a movie night. The bedrooms are a good size & the upstairs bedrooms have balconys & again beautiful views of the bay. Shane is a brilliant host, always replies quickly & answers questions & sorts out anything that may crop up.Terry, the pool man is lovely & checks the pool every other day & changes the bedding with the help of his family.I would say you need a car as the supermarket is a 5 minute drive away & there are lots of lovely places to see on the island.
Fantastic villa! Great pool. Lovely shaded veranda
Wonderful stay. The owner responded to all enquiries and was teally helpful. Great villa, comfortable and clean. Caretaker was super friendly and helpful. Lovely welcome hamper gratefully received. Lots of shade. Brilliant veranda and a lovely pool. We had a great holiday
Our second visit to this lovely villa, it felt like coming home! Everything we needed, with two 79 year olds we definitely need a car. Supermarket just over a mile away, pool area beautiful, lovely beach down the hill and fantastic views. Teri is very helpful and just a call away if you need anything. We have already booked for our third visit, 3 weeks next year!
The villa was as described and worked perfectly for our family of 5, plenty of room and everything we needed.It was a really nice touch when we turned up, the fridge had been stocked with some basics like milk, butter, bread, fruit and a few beers, plus a nice bottle of red on the table, great way to start the holiday.The pool and putside area were excellent too.The villa is up a steep hill but its not too bad for a few minutes. There are a few bars and restaurants within walking distance and then Lindos is about 10 mins in a car. We were able to get taxis from Lindian Jewel hotel at the bottom of the hill.Communication with Shane was easy and always responded quickly to any questions.Overall, highly recommended

You need definitely a car. If I would have known what a steep rise there is to reach the villa I wouldn’t have taken it. Some item in the villa are damaged. Pool Manager was really nice and very attentive. Vlycha has nothing to offer. We had to drive every day. Best regards
We’ve stayed in several holiday homes before, but this one is truly exceptional. It offers all the comforts of home. The rooms are spacious, and there’s plenty of storage space, a washing machine, dishwasher, coffee machine, TV with DVD player, air conditioning, and more. There are enough plates, glasses, cutlery, pots, and pans for a whole family.The outdoor area is fantastic. There’s a comfortable lounge area and a large dining space under a covered patio, as well as a BBQ. The pool, although not heated, is clean and big enough to enjoy. The new, stylish wooden sun loungers are very comfortable and give you a real luxury hotel feeling.The house has a stunning view over the bay. We loved enjoying breakfast, a cup of coffee, or an aperitif while taking in that beautiful scenery.It’s located in a very peaceful area, yet not isolated. You can walk to the beach, and there’s a supermarket just 1 km away and a great bakery 1.5 km from the house.Within a 10-minute drive, you’ll find the lively villages of Pefkos and Lardos, and the beautiful town of Lindos is even closer.Whenever we had a question, we could always count on Terry, the local property manager. He was very helpful and friendly.We had an absolutely wonderful family holiday in this home on Rhodes.
We had a fantastic holiday at the Villa Herrera. There were 6 adults and we had plenty of room, thanks to the great weather & outside area.
The 3 bedrooms were a good size & with 2 bathrooms, we had no space issues.
The kitchen area was well equipped & the host, Shane was extremely generous with a very well stocked fridge on arrival.
The pool and outside area were just lovely! Sunbeds for 6, a cozy sofa area & stunning views across the bay. We spent most of our time here.
Terry the pool & general maintenance man was really friendly & helpful but managed to not be intrusive either. Whenever we needed any help, he was there in a very short time & sorted any minor issues straight away.
Shane, the host, was great. He was always quick to respond to our messages, generous with equipment & food - he thoroughly deserves his premier host status. We felt Shane & Terry were a good team & felt in very safe hands.
We would come back without hesitation.
Lovely villa in a lovely location. The villa was exactly as advertised, and even came with a well stocked fringe (wine, cheese, ham, juice, fruit, water etc). Host (Shane) always responded quickly to any questions. Terry the maintenance guy was awesome. We called him out once as we had a question, and he was here super quickly (awesome service).
We went out to Lindian Jewell a couple of times (2 minute walk down a steep hill), and it was lovely. We also had food and drink at The Banana Bar on the beach which was lovely and fully shaded). The Ktima restaurant is lovely but overpriced (had better meals at the Lindian Jewell and in Lindos. The Dionysos Resturant was recommended by Shane. This was also a lovely restaurant with a lovely rooftop view.
Definitely recommend this villa for anyone looking for a villa in Rhodes. Only thing to be mindful of is the extremely steep ‘road / path’ leading to the villa. But don’t let this put you off. You get used to driving up it, and it’s only about 100metres.
Thankyou Shane and Terry!!!! Awesome Hosts!!!
This villa was perfect for our stay, spotlessly clean and spacious with large outside area which had two seating areas both in the shade, as well as plenty of sunbeds round the pool. The views both from the pool area and both balconies are stunning. The kitchen has everything you need, we barbecued a few times. Shane was a fabulous host, answering any queries very quickly during the booking process, and Tery, the local pool cleaner and maintenance man was brilliant, giving us his number and answering straightaway when we had a problem (goats pulled the bougainvillea off the wall and blocked the road - Tery came right away to clear it), and let us know he was available 24/7. It was also the first villa we have ever had which has had a towel and bedding change halfway through our stay, and the best welcome package ever, with a fridge stocked with fruit, wine, juice, milk, cheese, ham and bread. The road up to the villa is steep, but manageable for most people - maybe the elderly would struggle. I would recommend a car - there is a supermarket less than 5 minutes drive away. All in all, a fabulous holiday and we look forward to coming back!
Our stay at Shane's villa was amazing. We brought our family of 6 from the USA to stay here and had an amazing time. This villa was spacious inside and out. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook in , including a BBQ grill outside. The pool and patio space had incredible views that we soaked in morning and night. We made sure to get good use out of the pool daily, whether it be morning before our beach trips or afternoon before cocktails! Everything was well maintained and updated. Family movie nights were a plus with the extensive selection they had. The villa is located minutes (walking) to a beautiful beach and great restaurants. We used the mini market several times for basic things but did big food shopping at the local supermarket five minutes with a car. We did rent a car for the week which gave us great options for dining, beaches and ability to take a day trip to another island from a boat in Rhodes .The parking space by the villa was great since the house is located on a very steep incline. Terry the house manager/pool maintenance man was fantastic and quick to respond with any questions we had. He loves his job and it shows . He went out of his way to find us some charcoal that we could not to make our family dinner a success!! I would definitely stay here again if we ever make it back to Rhodes! Thank you Shane for making our family vacation one to remember.
Stunning. We actually changed our plans from a Rhodes visit of touring the island to one of relaxing at the villa based on the astounding beauty and comfort of this place. Shane was fantastic to work with, was a clear communicator, and his hospitality was over the top. I'd highly recommend this villa to anyone and my family hopes to use it again for a futrue visit to Rhodes!
This is our 3rd stay at the villa.
We love it for so many reasons.
Location, view, pool, accommodation and value for money.
We hope to come next year too
A fantastic Villa in a nice small village. We Aldo loved the calm Vlicha Beach,
The Villa is actually better than the photos. The pool is one of the top 3 we ever rented. So we probably will be back again.

We loved the villa! It was clean, spacious, and well equipped. The outdoor area was outstanding. The pool was very clean. The bed was comfortable. We loved the beach. We were there in June and it was not crowded at all.
Absolutely fab villa, excellent views, 6 ladies, no car but that didn't stop us getting about. A bit quiet in the bay , however we made full use of the nearby hotel where the food was delicious ( and the cocktails). I would definitely visit this villa again in the future.
Beautiful property in a great location, v close to lindos! Lovely well kept villa. Easy to contact host and worth every Penny! I would love to stay again. Welcome wine and food parcel was much appreciated for evening flight out :) steep hill (small) to walk up but worth it for the views !! Amazing, wish I was still there
Had an amazing time at this villa, a little out of the way but worth it, you do need a car to get about.
We had 2 weeks here and will definitely be booking again. The villa has everything you need and the welcome pack is great when you arrive, nice touch.
The view is amazing, we had lots of fun in the pool, it was so hot most nights so we would be in the pool at 11.30pm, just chilling out.
Over all this has to be one if the nicest Villas I have ever stayed at.
