About the Location

Greece, Crete, Heraklion

Rodia is located 16km from the city of Heraklion. It is a picturesque village located on an eastern hillside with splendid views of the city and bay of Heraklion. The village has a fishing refuge and its inhabitants are mostly engaged with agriculture. Rodia is dotted with restaurants and taverns with magnificent views where you can enjoy local delicacies. Upon the entrance to the village, you will find the picturesque monastery of Sabbathianon which contains a beautiful verdant alley with colorful flowers. Nearby you will find the cavernous church of Agios Antonios which is accessed by a beautiful stone-made bridge. In proximity to Rodia, Palaiokastro is situated, which is an emblematic monument of the region.

Heraklion is the biggest and most popular region of Crete on the eastern side of the island located between Rethymno and Lassithi. It is a city of contrasts, offering intense nightlife in nearby regions such as Malia and Hersonissos, but also many peaceful places, particularly on the southern side. Heraklion Greece is the cradle of the Minoan civilization and a visit to the Minoan Palaces of Knossos and Phaestos will be worth your while. It is surrounded by traditional villages, Medieval castles, Byzantine monasteries, and nice beaches to relax, so make sure you get a drive around. This region combines busy resorts and secluded places to cover all tastes.

Crete is the largest island in Greece and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can admire the remnants of brilliant civilizations, explore glorious beaches, impressive mountainscapes, fertile valleys and steep gorges, and become part of the island’s rich gastronomic culture. One of the most popular destinations of the country, Crete is the dream of a lifetime for millions of tourists.

Being among the top 20 tourist destinations worldwide, Greece is synonymous with 3 things: history and ancient civilization, amazing landscapes and top touristic destinations. Greece is so wealthy in culture and beauty that it never seems to be completely explored. Holidays in Greece is the ultimate experience all year round. It offers a great pallet of experiences; the warm sun, the crystal clear beaches, the dramatic nature, the rich culture and the renowned hospitality along with the unique culinary experience of the Mediterranean diet.

Villa Vollard is fantastic. The villa is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The views are spectacular, I recommend you get out of bed for the sunrise at least once as it was absolutely stunning. Getting up will be difficult however as the beds/ pillows are extremely comfortable which I’ve found to be very unusual for holiday villas! Your hostess Rena is one of the loveliest people I think I’ve ever met and makes you feel incredibly welcome and looks after you as if were visiting home. Nothing is too much trouble. Absolutely wonderful experience and very sad to be back home!! I definitely definitely recommend.

Loved this home.

Villa Vollard was an incredible base for our stay in Crete. It’s a huge home and although there was only three of us next time we will bring friends because it’s a huge 2 storey villa with no lack of amenities. Renas décor is very cool and homely. The views are unbelievable and a real treat to be able to see the stunning countryside, the coastal landscape and city lights of Heraklion by night from the Villa. It’s a quick drive to the city so you can get action or just sit at home and chill. The best part of course is Rena! What an absolutely delightful host. She was there to greet us when we arrived late, gave us her awesome local knowledge, even cleaned the house almost daily and even did our washing. Wow, she was like Mum away from home. What a beautiful human being; we have made a friend for life. We will be back for sure!!!!

Thank you so much! :)

Wonderful stone villa with its own jacuzzi and a very large garden! The house was absolutely wonderful with a breathtaking seaview, peaceful surrounding and lovely, welcoming hosts. Rena was very friendly, suggesting restaurants and beaches to visit and generously offering complementary local produce such as olive oil and raki liqueur! All you can wish for at your vacation in Crete! The interior was handsomely furnished and clean – Rena is a designer so every single detail in the house was unigue! The location – about five minutes by car from the nearest beach was so convenient, with quick access to highway (only 2min away)! Although Pantanassa beach was closer to us we preferred to spend our time at Agia Pelagia which is a wonderful seaside village! We loved the house, we loved the view and much more Rena's hospitality!

We really had a great, peaceful stay!

Me and my partner had a wonderful stay at Rena's villa. Rena is always stand by if you need something, she is a very sweet lady who will do anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The view from the villa is absolutely wonderful and one of the best assets of the house. Inside as well as outside everything is very clean and everything you need (facility wise) is available! The bed was super comfi as well and the kitchen is spacious; big like! Amoudara town is very close by, but we preferred to go to Iraklion city at night as it's a bit more modern en lively, which is fine since it's only a 20 min drive.

Pure perfection!

The house in reality is better than what the pictures suggest. Rena is a wonderful host. She made us feel at home. She is a great cook and we used to look forward to breakfast every morning. The facilities in the house are top notch and made our stay very comfortable. Rena was very communicative before our arrival and made it very smooth. We tell strongly recommend you rent a car during your stay here to help you move around. The house is located just off the main highway (E75) which connects most of the key towns of Crete eg Chania, Rethymno, Malia, Ag. Nikolaos, Heraklion, etc. During our stay too Rena was very helpful in guiding / Suggesting things we should do. She also made sure we had enuf privacy to enjoy our honeymoon. We could spend time in the day and night in the jacuzzi while enjoying the gorgeous view without being disturbed. We loved our stay there and can't wait to go back there. Highly recommend this place to all travellers looking for a luxurious villa with a gorgeous view for a super comfortable stay!

We hope to be back one day!!!

The house was amazing (the pool, the équipement, the view,etc...) but it is nothing compared to the kindness of Rena. She is the nicest person always willing to please us. Do not change anything Rena, you are just perfect.

We loved our stay!

Fantastic accommodation! We could say that the interior and the seaview are much more beautiful than the pictures! We had dinner with candles in the garden viewing the idyllic landscape! This combination of stone and wood in the house creates such a lovely atmosphere! Rena was so helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. We also payed for breakfast and it really worth the money! Rena uses homemade jam from the fruit in the garden, freshly baked bread, local honey with thyme from the mountain, and traditional delicacies, all handmade! This villa was great clean, modern and spacious with everything you need. The location is ideal for experiencing the island: close to villages and beaches, near Heraklion center through the highway! We would stay at this "gem" villa for sure!
