    About the villa

    This cluster of villas is set in a tranquil area just outside Platanias. They look out over olive and orange groves, and are built in traditional Greek style, with stone walls, arches and terracotta roofs.Each property at Caldera Villas has its own landscaped garden and a sun terrace sprinkled with loungers and parasols. Inside, the focus is on pared-down elegance, especially in the pool area.

    Every villa gets its own pool, some are indoors and some are some open-air. Wickerwork sofas and daybeds line up alongside them, and arched windows frame garden views.Caldera Villas are less than ten minutes’ walk from Platanias’ Blue Flag beach, which stretches along the coast for an impressive ten kilometres.

    The kitchens at Caldera Villas are sleek, with cylindrical lamps and dark woods. An attractive stone barbecue and bread oven are on hand, too.

    We are now giving you the option to choose your transport arrangements for your holiday. The per person price you see now is based on 'no transfer'. You have the option to select your transport arrangements on the customise holiday page, or alternatively, you can make your own arrangements and keep the 'no transfer' option. Please note, we recommend you hire a car for this holiday.

    Please note, an environmental tax fee of €15 a night is payable at the property.

    Lovely relaxing stay. Very peaceful area
    09 Aug , 2023 ChrisiAnna, 616264
    We stayed here as a family of 4 for a week during the first week of August. We loved the villa ( we stayed in the villa with the indoor pool) it’s huge. the gardens surrounding the villa are gorgeous. Staff were very helpful & the villa has everything you need. The only problem we found we the glass doors that surround the pool area were hard to open and shut. It would’ve been nice to have them all fully open but this wasn’t possible as some of them didn’t slide across properly. Apart from this everything was perfect 🤩 Thank you
    Lovely villa
    29 Aug , 2020 JDonhols, 186338
    We booked last minute via Hotel.gr and service was excellent. Travel operator called several times to check everything was ok. Organisation was very efficient, particularly the welcome. Several villas are on a site close to Platanias - we were there in late August and it was quiet as not all were full. Lots of space and pool was a great size for our family. The road leading up to the villa isn’t in great condition and not lit at night, but it’s only a five minute walk. Staff on site were really friendly as well. Loved it.
    Wonderful Staff Property Needs Repairs
    05 Aug , 2019 kostask676, 60763
    We stayed at Caldera due to a last minute cancellation from another waterfront Villa. We want to thank the very helpful staff, Ms. Roula, Ms. Jenny and Mr. Neti for their responsiveness to repeated troubles with the actual buildings. Without them, the stay would have been very difficult. The Villas are large and spacious and we moved from Villa Zeus to Villa Hermes, which has a complete indoor pool. Both Villas have indoor BBQ's which we thoroughly enjoyed. The outdoor space is wonderful for the children to play and the quiet area is very safe and peaceful. Unfortunately, Villa Hermes is in need of repair. The electricity went out twice, with the circuit breakers malfunctioning for extensive periods of time. Another AC unit dripped so much water to cause a hazard while another AC dripped significant water on our children while they slept to wake them up, a significant safety hazard. Again, nice location, large spacious Villa and wonderful staff, but the Villas do require updating/repairs.
    Perfect place to stay in Platanias
    09 Jun , 2019 O5168XVroya, 190489
    We have stayed here 6 years, normally for three weeks. The houses are really nice with pools outdoors and inside. It is quiet, but still close to the city and beach. You have your private parking. The hostess is Fantastic ! Book a Chef to cook in the garden, its recommended and the price is good. Our favorite place in Crete.
    Quiet & Relaxing
    05 Jun , 2018 828michaelas, 186217
    We booked this villa with Tui, set in a quiet area , just a 3 minute drive from the main strip of platinus. The villa itself was large and would be a great location for a large family or friends holiday together. We went to the local beach instead of using the pool each day, it was nice to come home for a dip after a day at the beach. The villa has pretty much everything you need on your holiday and close by is supermarkets, bars, resturants and gift shops. Relaxing and enjoyable week in the sun.
