Further details for this holiday villa rental in Almirida, Greece

Private swimming pool: The swimming pool is 10 x 5 metres plus Roman end steps and is at a constant depth of 1.4 metres. It is surrounded by a very large tiled area and has olive and fruit trees plus other specimen plants around it to make this a most attractive area of the property. In addition there are lovely views across our olive trees towards the White Mountains. The bedroom balconies overlook the pool and stairs lead down from them to the pool area below. At one end of the pool area a covered veranda provides a shady spot for reading, relaxing or eating and drinking. In addition there are chairs, a table, sunbeds and an umbrella located elsewhere around the pool.

Around the villa: From the lane you go along our private drive, with olive trees to one side, to the far end of our land where the villa is located overlooking the bay to maximise the super sea views. There is a large covered terrace (with built-in BBQ, dining table and chairs) accessed from the lounge through the patio doors which will fold back completely. In front of that a verandah runs across most of the front of the house and provides an ideal location for relaxing or dining in the shade whilst listening to the waves on the beach below. In addition at the front there is also a large stone-paved area directly overlooking the bay below which is ideal for somewhere to eat or read sitting in the sun. From the villa you get amazing skies as the sun rises over the small island in the bay and above the Drapanos mountain. A short stroll along the lane from the villa leads to the unspoilt Kera beach in one direction or walk the other way and you can go down to a lovely, small cove on the other side

Gardens and roof terrace: The villa has a very large flat roof terrace which has stunning panoramic views across Souda Bay and the Apokronas peninsular and is a great place for watching the sunset. This area is currently being improved so that in 2010 it will be a more attractive area to sit and relax in the sun or shade or where you could have a simple meal or drink while admiring the views, sunset or just star-gazing. Close to the house there are different garden areas filled with specimen plants and flowers to provide all year round colour and interest and to make the setting for your holiday as attractive as possible.

Stunning villa in wonderful location

Review Submitted: June 11, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have just returned from spending a wonderful week at Kera Villa. This villa is stunning - well maintained and decorated, in a beautiful location. The villa is truly a "home from home" - not just a holiday let and is well looked after by locals who are friends of the owners
I have been travelling to Greece since 1983 but can truly say that I have never stayed in accommodation as good as this. My 71 year old mother accompanied myself and my partner and although she has travelled extensively, she has never been to Greece before. She was truly delighted with the accommodation and her favourite pastime (as was ours) was to have breakfast on the patio whilst gazing at the stunning view. We did (reluctantly) leave the villa to explore the local countryside but always made sure that we returned in time to have a swim in the fabulous pool.
Peace and quiet reign supreme here - this is truly a place to "chill out" - I could feel myself relaxing after only a few hours of arriving and we really were sad to leave.
If you only ever go to Greece once, then make sure it's here - you will not be disappointed!
Owner's Response: We really appreciate it when our guests can find the time to write a review - and are always thrilled to hear that Kera Villa and its location have provided an ideal holiday location. We are already taking bookings for 2010 so if the details about the villa and the experiences of our reviewers tempt you to make a reservation please get in touch soon!

"Does everything it says on the can"

Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The villa was exactly as we hoped and expected. The views are simply breathtaking. We have stayed in many villas over the years but none so well equipped and comfortable as Villa Kera. The personal touches and brilliant communications with the owner made this a perfect holiday.

Crete is a lovely island and this is the first time we have visited the western end. Almyrides is a super little town and the restaurants delightful (we tried them all). Chania is magical - we loved it.

Thanks once again, we and I am sure several of our friends will be booking again in the very near future,

Herausragende Lage für perfekte Erholung

sinful but lovely Wiesbaden, Germany
Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Villa Kera symbolisiert für uns alles das, was den Süden ausmacht. Man hat eine wundervolle Aussicht auf das Meer mit den vorgelagerten Inseln, es duftet nach Oleander, laut zirpen die Zikaden, hinter dem Haus kann man sich im grosszügigen Pool mit Blick auf die weissen Berge abkühlen und nachts begleitet einen das Wellenrauschen vom nahen Strand in den Schlaf. Die unterhalb liegende kleine Bucht erreicht man in 3 Minuten zu Fuß, sie ist flach und der Strand zwar sehr schmal, aber dafür selten voll, da es hier keine Tavernen und nur wenige Häuser gibt. Die findet man in den Nachbarbuchten beidseits in Kalyves und Almirida, mit Post, Bankautomat, Supermarkt und Tankstelle. Man kann hier gut und billig essen, direkt am Meer, es gibt touristische Infrastruktur, schöne Strände und ein bisschen Nachtleben - aber insgesamt ist es noch sehr ursprünglich. Chania ist ca. 15 Km entfernt, das Hinterland von Kalyves bietet landschaftlich reizvolle Ausflüge, die türkische Festung bei Aptera bietet einen lohnenden Ausblick und die Klöster der Halbinsel Akrotiri bei Chania sind ein lohnendes Ziel ebenso wie der alte Hafen von Rethymnon. Wir haben uns aber in der Villa Kera so wohl gefühlt, dass wir gar nicht so viel unternommen haben, wie wir eigentlich vorhatten. Wir haben den tollen Meerblick vom Dach aus genossen, uns den Wind, der die Hitze gut erträglich macht, um die Nase wehen lassen und das unglaubliche Blau der Ägäis bewundert. Da es in der Umgebung sehr ruhig ist, kann man sich so sehr gut erholen. Das Haus und der Pool werden regelmäßig schnell und effektiv gereinigt, ebenso wie der Garten gepflegt wird. Und die Informationen der Vermieter sind so umfangreich, wie man es ganz selten erlebt. Man bekommt sogar vorher eine CD mit Fotos, Anfahrtsbeschreibung, Ausflugstips, Bedienungsanleitungen für Geräte und hilfreichen Telefonnummern zugeschickt. Perfekt! Villa Kera belegt einen Spitzenplatz in der Liste der Ferienhäuser, die wir bisher gemietet haben. Wir werden wiederkommen. Und freuen uns schon jetzt darauf.

Beautiful villa in a stunning setting...

32210 Wallasey
Review Submitted: September 23, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Beautiful villa in a stunning setting.We had a great week in Kera. The villa was everything and more.The property is a credit to the owners who could not have been more proffessional and helpful providing everything that was required to make it a great holiday. Great to have a mid week cleaning service provided. Hard to tear youself away from the villa but lots to see and do nearby or further afield if you want to explore the west of the area.

Wonderful Kera Villa

Bernie & Frank Harefield, Middlesex, UK
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
If you want beautiful views, peace and quiet, a lovely big villa and a fantastic pool then Kera Villa is the place to stay. We have just spent two weeks here and had a fabulous time.
The villa, pool and gardens are all maintained to a very high standard by the local english team. The villa is extremely comfortable with lots of spaceand the kitchen is newly fitted and had everything you would need. There are various places outside to sit and enjoy the views of Kera Bay and out to sea. Sitting on one of the patios with a glass of wine watching the light fading and the moon rise, perfect!
The pool is a great size and all the same depth which is great for me as I'm not a very confident swimmer but it was also good for my husband who had plenty of room to do laps. The pool is very private and although not heated it had a minimum temperature of 76 degrees.
We didn't hire a car, so walked to the nearest towns of Almirida and Kalyves. Almirida was the smaller of the two and was about a 25 minute walk away, it had some nice tavernas on the sea front and a few food shops. We preferred Kalyves (20 Minute walk) as it was bigger and offered more choice of tavernas and shops, the seafront and beach are also nicer than Almirida. The whole area is very hilly and there are steep slopes up and down to both towns, so if you're not very fit you will probably need a car. However if you want to get fitter then this is the ideal place to do it!
We didn't do any sight seeing as it was too hard to drag ourselves away from the villa and pool. We relaxed as soon as we arrived and enjoyed every minute. We had the pleasure of meeting Pattie and Mick briefly whilst we were out there as they were visiting friends, they have done so much work on the property and it is a credit to them both.
We will definitely return in the future as we enjoyed it so much.
