Just a 10-minute stroll away lies the picturesque fishing village of Sisi (also spelled Sissi) — a hidden gem on Crete’s northern coast. With its quaint harbour, gently bobbing boats, and relaxed atmosphere, Sisi offers an authentic local experience. Enjoy fresh seafood and traditional Cretan dishes at harbour-front cafés, bars, and seaside tavernas, browse the small local shops and supermarkets, or simply wander along the waterfront and watch the world go by.
For those needing easy access, Villa Hera is wheelchair-friendly, with step-free entry to the ground floor bedroom, bathroom, and outdoor areas — offering comfort and inclusivity for all guests.
Freshly Renovated for a Premium Experience
We are excited to share that Villa Hera has recently undergone a major renovation over the winter, transforming both the interiors and exteriors to offer you an unparalleled luxury experience. Our grounds now feature a brand-new 55m² private pool and expanded outdoor areas, perfect for relaxation and enjoyment. The villa boasts new, stylish furniture and interiors meticulously designed by the owners, ensuring every detail enhances your comfort and aesthetic pleasure.
New for 2025, the kitchen and lounge have been further upgraded. The kitchen now features sleek new units finished in Porsche Agate Grey, adding a contemporary, refined touch to the villa’s interior. The lounge area has been enhanced with a high-quality sofa bed, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families or larger groups. We’ve also added a new indoor dining table and chairs to complement the open-plan layout, and outside, luxury egg chairs have been placed by the pool — perfect for lazy afternoons under the Cretan sun.
Each upgrade has been carefully considered to retain the villa’s original charm while elevating the guest experience, ensuring Villa Hera remains one of the most distinctive and comfortable private villa rentals in Sisi / Sissi, Crete.
Exclusive Artwork by Ross Baines
Adding to Villa Hera’s distinct character and atmosphere is the bespoke artwork of British artist Ross Baines, whose one-off pieces were commissioned exclusively for the villa. Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology, his original canvases of Zeus, Hera, and the two together adorn the villa’s bedrooms, setting a tone of drama, elegance, and timeless symbolism throughout the home.
New for 2025, a powerful new piece has been introduced to the main living area — a bold reinterpretation of the Sissi coastline, based on a photograph by Dan Desborough. Reimagined in Ross’s expressive style and brought to life with an electrifying Zeus lightning motif, the painting bridges mythology with the villa’s surrounding landscape, blending divine energy with Cretan coastal beauty.
With every piece thoughtfully placed to complement the villa’s interior design, the artwork adds warmth, personality, and a meaningful sense of connection to the space.
Discover the Spirit of Sisi / Sissi
While Crete is filled with beautiful destinations, Sisi (or Sissi) offers something more personal — a sense of place that feels untouched, yet welcoming. It's a village that moves to its own gentle rhythm, where small fishing boats glide into the harbour, and the scent of fresh seafood drifts through the air from family-run tavernas lining the waterfront.
Sisi is ideal for travellers who want to escape the crowds but still enjoy easy access to the best of Crete. You’re just a 35–40 minute drive from Heraklion International Airport, making arrival smooth and convenient, whether you're visiting for a long summer break or a spontaneous getaway.
From the villa, you can spend your days exploring hidden coves, visiting local wineries, walking scenic trails through olive groves, or setting off on cultural day trips to Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Heraklion.
But perhaps Sisi’s greatest charm lies in its simplicity — its ability to slow you down, help you breathe deeper, and savour the moment. That’s what makes Villa Hera’s setting so special: you’re not just staying in a villa, you’re living in a village with soul.
