About this property
Set above the coastline in the village of Kaliviani, Hespera Villas offer a calm and contemporary retreat where the horizon seems to stretch endlessly across the Cretan Sea. Comprising two independent yet neighbouring villas, with connecting gate, this thoughtfully designed pair works beautifully for couples, small families or friends travelling together, combining privacy with the option to share time and space when booked as a whole. Each pool enjoys it's own pool and outdoor space.
Perfect for families or small groups of friends, each villa follows the same clean-lined design, where pale stone, soft tones and wide openings create a light-filled interior that feels connected to the landscape beyond. For larger groups book both villas. On the ground floor, the open-plan living area flows easily between lounging, dining and cooking. A comfortable sofa faces the Smart TV, while the modern kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed home cooking. Large doors slide open to the pool terrace, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. A shower room on this level adds everyday convenience.
Upstairs, two bedrooms open directly onto private balconies, where sea views become part of the morning routine. Both rooms are furnished with queen-size beds and air conditioning, sharing a well-finished bathroom with a shower. The layout is simple and well considered, offering comfort without excess.
Outside, each villa has its own private swimming pool framed by sun loungers and open terrace space. Outdoor dining areas and gas barbecues invite leisurely meals as the light softens over the sea. A shared playground and football goal add a playful note, particularly appealing for families, while the connecting gate between the villas allows groups to move easily between spaces when both are booked together. With generous outdoor space and uninterrupted views, Hespera Villas encourage long days spent under open skies.
Hespera Villas sit in Kaliviani, a small village on the western edge of Crete, overlooking the Kissamos Gulf. The setting feels open and expansive, with sea views stretching towards the horizon and a landscape shaped by olive groves, low hills and rugged coastline. Kaliviani itself is known for its traditional tavernas, many of which focus on local produce and time-honoured Cretan recipes, making it a rewarding place to dine close to home.
Just a short drive away lies Falassarna Beach, one of western Crete’s most celebrated stretches of sand. Wide, open and exposed to dramatic sunsets, it offers space for swimming, walking and simply enjoying the scale of the coastline. Nearby, the Balos Lagoon presents a completely different scene, with shallow turquoise waters and pale sand forming one of the island’s most recognisable landscapes.
The town of Kissamos provides everyday amenities including supermarkets, bakeries and cafés, as well as a working port that connects to the wider region. The area is steeped in history, with ancient ruins, traditional villages and traces of Venetian influence scattered throughout the surrounding countryside.
For those keen to explore further, western Crete is known for its wild beauty and slower pace. From coastal walks and quiet coves to inland villages and mountain scenery, the region rewards unhurried exploration. Staying in Kaliviani places guests close to some of Crete’s most striking natural landmarks, while still offering the comfort of returning each evening to a peaceful and private setting.
