"Villa Caress" - Spacious villa with private pool and sea view
Welcome to your private escape in Crete — a place where breathtaking sea views, total relaxation, and authentic Cretan hospitality come together. Perched on a peaceful hillside between Agia Pelagia and Lygaria, this spacious villa offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and natural beauty, just 400 meters from the sea. Wake up to endless blue views. Spend your days by your private pool, surrounded by gardens and enjoy long summer evenings with BBQ dinners under the sky!
Surroundings: Between Agia Pelagia and Ligaria. Two calm, sparkling clean beaches cooled down by the clear blue that stretches before them. Just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Heraklion, the Keramos complex with the six separate areas of accommodation, gazes from high up into the splendour of the sea and the tranquillity of the surrounding Cretan landscape, wild and hospitable all at once. From the organised exterior but also from all interior spaces, the view sprawls uninterrupted, beckoning for exploration and relaxation. In Crete hospitality is sacred. It is registered as genetic information. It’s part of everyday life for the people of Crete. It is with this hospitable disposition that George and Claire created the Keramos. It is with this hospitable heart that George and Claire welcome you. With a genuine smile. With knowledge and experience of all they owe and want to offer their guests. Talk with George about the way you would like to get here. Ask him about anything concerning ways of access. George will wait for you at the airport or the port, if so arranged. Alternatively, he will take care to have a vehicle of your choice at your disposal, at the prearranged time and place, at the best possible price.
**** Some info of the near bays ***
The beautiful and calm gulf of LYGARIA in only 400m away. It is a lovely narrow stretch of sand with calm and warm crystal clear waters. Watersports, scuba diving, sea beds, super markets and fish tavernas make this spot one of the most famous in the area.
The AGIA PELAGIA sandy bay is about 2 Km away. It is protected from the north winds, and the sea is almost always calm. AGIA PELAGIA village has developed around its shores, so that's where you'll find many of the tavernas and cafeterias. In the center of Agia Pelagia you will find a super market, tourism offices, pharmacy, an ATM, tourist and souvenir shops and the taxi stand. There are many restaurants and tavernas featuring Cretan, Greek or international cuisine, and all have a beautiful view of the sea. As you dine in Agia Pelagia, you can also partake of the wonderful scenes around you, and snap these memories into a treasured photo album: the various shades of the rippling sea, the cute little kid building a sand castle, the old fishing boats anchored in the bay, the fishermen preparing their nets for the night's labour!

Clean comfortable villa with great views and pool
Greeted by George who waited up for us until nearly midnight after a delayed flight. Excellent villa, spacious, with a double and a twin bedroom, modest bathroom, and loo downstairs. A/C if needed. Open plan kitchen/diner/lounge. Balconies, terraces, gardens, with shaded areas. Sea views. Cleaned twice during our week with towel linen change, grass and hedges trimmed. Pomegranates, lemons, grapes from the garden! Good pool 20m away and a gym. Great tavernas nearby and good beaches with clear waters. Pretty near perfect.

Amazing Villa
The Villa is on a slope. The house, the terraces and the garden is spread over several levels and you have a beautiful view of the bay from everywhere.
Everything is new and modern and very clean.
Georg is fantastic as a host. Always friendly, helpful and easy to reach.
We didn't even take advantage of the offer to use the pool and fitness room in the nearby Keramos Villas, we preferred to enjoy the house, the private pool and the beautiful garden.
Thank you very much George for everything!
When we come back to Crete, it‘s definitely this Villa again!
