Welcome to Paradise!
WOW - Where do I start, I knew when booking this place it would be something special but when we actually arrived it just blew my mind!
We have just spent two weeks at Villa Kera. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The hosts greeted us, helped us with the luggage, showed us around and ensured we had everything we needed. They thoughtfully provided a big plate of fresh fruits, bottled water and 2 bottles of wine upon arrival.
The villa was big and even better than I expected - luxurious, private, new and modern, very clean, cozy bedrooms with air conditioning, crispy clean sheets and towels, huge balcony with the beautiful view of Mediterranean Sea, spacious living room, 2 big and fully equipped kitchens (upstairs and in the basement), dining area as well as the 5 (five!) full bathrooms.
It was very well equipped with a big choice of outdoor seating and lounging space, excellent barbecue area and lovely deep pool (towels provided).
We were party of 9 and there was plenty of space for all of us without having the feeling that we are sitting on each other’s heads.
It looked exactly the same as in the pictures - gorgeous!
If you are looking for a beautiful place to enjoy the tranquility & soak up in the sun with the beautiful outdoor pool - this villa is all you need!
The location was great -between two villages Almirida and Kalyves but away from the hustle and bustle. About 5 min drive from the beach, coffee shops, great tavernas and local supermarket.
Would recommend renting a car so that you can explore this wonderful island and because most of the roads in the area are not pedestrian friendly.
Special thank you to the hosts: Michalis and his wife Irina.
Doesn't matter what you need, where you need - they will get it done ASAP.
Very responsive and passionate people that love what they do.
They were extremely helpful and communicative, fully accommodating to our last minute super late check in and early departure, responsive to all our requests and had wonderful suggestions for activities around the island.
This isn't just something that "they do" for living, this is essentially who they are.
One day they even surprised us with a delicious home made cake! :)
Also, a huge thank you to the owner of the Villa Kera - Daria.
I didn’t have a chance to meet her in person, but since day one when I was in search of our future stay in Crete, Daria was super responsive to all my questions and concerns and stayed in touch with me the whole way, making sure we were happy and enjoying our trip.
We came away feeling relaxed and looked after. It is such a gorgeous place and we would not hesitate to stay there again. So loved it, and cried when it was time to leave. We will be back!
