About this property

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)

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 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 place

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.

The villa is absolutely gorgeous. Super clean and has everything you need! The pool was large and spotlessly clean and the view out across the pool and across to the bay below was breathtaking! We all agreed that it was the best villa we had ever stayed at! The host was so kind.. we arrived to a fridge containing essentials such as milk and cheese,fruit and ham and wine and beer! A very welcome site after a long day of travelling. Communications with Shane was quick and easy and the midweek change of sheets and towels was appreciated. Beds were very comfortable.5 minute walk down hill to the beach which was sandy and not at all crowded. The Lindian Jewel hotel is on your route to the beach and was our daily stop for beer or cocktails a snack or evening meals. Excellent food reasonably priced and fabulous friendly staff. All in all a wonderful stay at a beautiful villa and like many of the other previous guests we hope to return.

Excellent villa, lovely pool and close to bars

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

This villa is such an idyllic, beautiful setting with an incredible view across the bay. The property is well cared for and maintained and has been upgraded considerably from the photos on Vrbo, including new outdoor furniture and comfortable wooden sunloungers, an outdoor shower and a huge smart tv in the lounge area. The pergola has been replaced by a tiled roof so you can sit outside on the corner sofa or gorgeous marble table area whatever the weather. There is a dishwasher, washing machine, outdoor grill, microwave and all amenities you could need and lots of nice little touches to make your stay extra special. There is even a room filled with dvds, books and jigsaws you are welcome to borrow. We stayed for a week at the end of October and had a relaxing time in gorgeous sunshine. It is a real slice of paradise set in the hill above Vlycha Bay. The generous welcome food pack on arrival was very much appreciated as we arrived late on Saturday and the big supermarkets don’t open on Sundays. Communication with the owner Shane was excellent. He couldn’t do enough for us and Terri who maintains the property and pool was really helpful and both made sure we had a wonderful week at the villa. We hope to return again soon and would recommend this property to anyone wanting a peaceful stay in a pretty, well maintained property.

Great location and views

This was our second stay at this property which in our opinion is in the best location in Vlicha Bay being in a quiet location with fantastic views across the bay. There is a very short walk downhill to the beach, small supermarket and small selection of tavernas. The pool and terrace area has a variety of plants that set this relaxing area off, I have to agree with the previous review that the decking is a bit tired but not an major issue and I am sure this will be addressed by the owner. The villa has everything you need and a good welcome pack with your basics on arrival. I am sure we will return again soon.

Wonderful Holiday

We arrived after midnight due to our flight being delayed and found there was no cot or high chair in the villa, which we requested. This was rectified the morning after so wasn’t too big a drama. The villa is lovely but a little ‘tired’ but had everything we needed and the location is perfect and we had a wonderful time and would definitely return (hopefully next year🤞)

About the host

Hosted by Shane Coull

Host profile image
My wife and I live in England, I am English, my wife is Russian. We met in 1992 when I worked in Moscow. We married in 1994 and we returned to England in 1997. We have 2 children Thomas born in 1999 and Matthew born in 2001.

Why we chose Rhodes.

My wife and I first visited Rhodes in 1993 and we fell in love with the island straight away. It was always a dream to buy a villa in Rhodes and this dream came true in 2008 when we bought the property off plan. The property was finally completed in October 2009. Location on the island was very important to us and Vlicha Bay was exactly where we wanted to be.

Location - Vlicha Bay is so beautiful, the villa nestled on the moutainside overlooking the sea and just a 2 minute walk down to the fantastic beach.

Why they chose this property

Vlicha Bay.

The view from the road is enough to entice you. Just before you turn the corner to Lindos you can see the bay with the bluest, clearest water imaginable. A beautiful beach excellent for swimming. Vlicha bay is a peaceful location ideal for relaxing, and it's close proximity to Lindos makes it the ideal. Shops, tavernas and bars are all available on the beach.

Lindos.

Just 5 minutes away, Lindos has everything to offer, supermarkets, banks, tavernas and restuarants and a beautiful beach. At night Lindos boasts some of the finest bars on the island.

What makes this property unique

Villa Hemera unlike other villa's in the bay is built higher up the mountainside and as a result has the most spectacular views you will find in Vlicha Bay.
