October break
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.

Greek villa with stunning views
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!

Fabulous Villa in an amazing location
Fabulous Villa, with a wonderful location. Everything about this place is fantastic from the view from the villa, balconies and terrace, to the outside space with outstanding areas to relax, plenty of shade for those who like to get out of the sun but yet stay close to others and the interior is just as stunning, with some of the comfiest beds we've had abroad. This place is a jewel in the Aegean, so relaxing and comes with a resident wildlife show of birds in the afternoon, and the local goats climbing the hillside behind, close enough to Lindos town with it's wonderful meandering little streets, great restaurants and wonderful bays and to quieter Lardos. The decking mentioned in previous reviews looks brand new and appears to have been replaced, the welcome pack provided included much appreciated drinks, fruit, and essentials and a surprise bottle of vino too. Thank you Shane for sharing your home, this villa is just fabulous and we hope to return in the future.

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.

Hi Fiona, thank you very much for your kind comments and l very much agree that the villa is situated in the best possible location on the island. I have noted the recent comments with regards to the decking and l will arrange for this to be replaced entirely with brand new decking this winter.

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🤞)

Fantastic relaxing get-away holiday villa
The perfect get-away villa. We loved staying here, it was perfect for a group of friends who wanted to relax but didn't want to be on top of each other. There's plenty of space for 6 or even 8 people. The outside space is what made the holiday so fantastic. The reason I've give 4 stars for accuracy of listing is that the the photos of this space don't do it justice. At any given time one of us would be relaxing in the pool, one on the loungers, one on the outdoor sofa area in the shade and one just admiring the view over the bay. It never felt like we were intruding on someone else's space. Just down the short but steep hill from the villa is a great bar/restaurant and then you are on to the beach, the location was perfect for us, although I'm glad we hired a car for transfers, to get to the local supermarket and trips out to Lindos. If you're looking for a relaxing week or two away from the world and it's worries, you'd be hard pushed to find somewhere better.

Beautiful views of Vlicha Bay
Really great villa with fantastic views across the bay. The Villa was clean and spacious with excellent outside space for eating and relaxing outside and a beautiful pool area with a bbq. We hired a car which was really useful for going to other beaches, restaurants and the supermarket. It is possible to walk into Lindos but not a night as the road has no pavements, in August it is also extremely hot, even at night. The villa had good air conditioning which certainly needed and the bathrooms and kitchen are basic but clean and functional. The beach in Vlicha Bay is stoney but is well served by Lindian Jewel for drinks and food. Lindian Jewel is good for evening drinks and food but travelling into Lindos and Lardos to eat gives much more choice. St Paul’s Bay is a lovely cove the far side of Lindos which has gorgeous sea and beachside restaurants and the town of Lindos is very beautiful. An excellent villa, a way away from Lindos and up a very steep hill but we would certainly return to this villa.

Villa fully met our expectations. Lovely location with spectacular views across the bay. The villa was fully equipped with all the essentials required. Stayed for 10 days during Sept. The pool and outdoor area was well maintained during our stay. The BBQ was well used during our stay for our door eating. The couple of Tavernas located at the bottom of the hill were very good and reasonably priced considering the quality of the food served. We found the owner of the villa to be very helpful and responsive to any of our inquires. The villa is located at the top of a very steep incline which maybe a problem for some, but without the climb you would not have the wonderful views. We hired a car for the duration of our stay and we would recommend a car, but not essential if you just plan to walk down to the beach. A well stocked supermarket with a butchers (ideal for the BBQ) and deli counter is located within a 5 min drive. We are definitely looking at rebooking for next year. No complaints Russell

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.

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.

Every bit as delightful as the description lead us to believe
It was dark when we arrived so it wasn't till morning that we could appreciate the view - and that was stunning. Then there was the pool - so clean, so refreshing and a perfect way to both start and finish the day. The villa was perfect for our needs, with one of the bedrooms being on the ground floor. There was a welcome pack which enabled us to have breakfast before heading for the nearby supermarket. The outdoor dining area and seating area were great - not one evening was spent indoors!. The position of the villa meant that the rest of the island were easily accessible and we were able to explore a great deal of it. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa - my party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay there.

Lovely villa & pool in a great location overlooking Vlicha Bay
We spent 10 days at the villa which is set in a lovely location half way up the hill side overlooking Vlicha Bay. We were 4 adults and 2 children aged 4 & 9 who both absolutely loved the pool. We spent most of our time outside in or around the pool or under the covered terrace area. The sun shone every day but it was also quite windy which helped to keep cool. Never got tired of the view which looks out to see across Vlicha bay. Inside the Villa we had everything we needed and the air conditioning in the bed rooms was really appreciated at night. The lovely village of Lindos is very close by and we spent many evenings there either down on the beach or in one of the many shops, bars or tavernas. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and really enjoyed spending much of out time at the villa. Would definitely recomend if you are looking for a good villa for up to 6 people on this part of the island.

Good location and spacious villa.
We thoroughly enjoyed the very comfortable, clean and spacious villa with fantastic outdoor area and stunning pool. The welcome pack was most appreciated, having driven from the airport late at night. Waking up the next morning we were greeted by the spectacular view which overlooks the bay and out to sea. Throughout the week we took the opportunity to eat alfresco each day and take in the warmth of the sunshine whilst relaxing around the pool reading. At the bottom of the hill (about 2-3 min walk) is the beach front and a couple of restaurants catering for a snack, lunch, dinner or just a cocktail. There are a number of other great places to eat not far from the villa for those wishing to venture out and we enjoyed the delights of Lindos and Lardos on a couple of evenings. In summary, a great and comfortable villa with good facilities situated in a stunning location.

Stunning views across the bay
Our family, including three children aged from 6 to 13, had a wonderful time. The villa is impressive and very well maintained. The views by day and night are beautiful and the fact that Vlicha bay is much quieter than Lindos really suited us. We had a car and visited Lindos, which was less than 10 minutes away on several occasions (less hectic after 5 or 6pm when the tourist buses have gone) and were able to find some lovely beaches - our favourite was the secluded and sandy Glystra beach about 15-20mins away. There are two restaurants with nice quiet, relaxed bars at the bottom of the hill, which are less than a two-minute walk (although you need to add another minute getting back up the hill). We absolutely loved the food at the Lindian Jewel Azzuro and the staff were very warm and friendly. The Azzuro also does takeaways which was handy when we arrived late on our first night. There was also a very useful welcome pack awaiting us in the villa which was perfect for the morning before we had a chance to go to the supermarket for our first shop. There is a mini-market on the doorstep by the restaurants at the bottom of the hill, but we tended to go to a bigger one in our car which is less than five minutes away. The beach was mostly shingle, but in a lovely setting and there is a sandy area to the right-hand side of the bay. We are definitely considering returning, and we found the owner, Shane, to be very responsive and helpful from the time of booking, through to, and even during our stay. Would highly recommend...

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

Thank you for your review though in response l would say the description of the villa along with the many years of reviews makes it very clear that it is built into the mountainside (hence the stunning views). I am also not clear as to what damaged items you are referring to as you have not made this clear on your review. I would have course been able to rectify this immediately if l had known (you had both my contact details and those of the maintenance team who regularly visited the property to manage the pool and the reports given back to me where that you seemed very happy). I am also not sure as to what you mean by the villa has nothing to offer. It is as the pictures describe, no more, no less. A car is always recommended when visiting the island.

Bel emplacement.maison confortable. Très agréable séjour Par contre quelques ustensiles de ménage comme un balai seraient bienvenus pour faire un minimum de ménage en cours de séjour. Et une affiche très explicite dans les salles de bain pour bien expliquer qu’il faut mettre le papier toilette dans la poubelle et non dans les toilettes. +++. Enfin juste nous dire aussi où mettre les poubelles
