Villa Kerasia has been beautifully restored and decorated. The rooms were well furnished and comfortable, and the food excellent (we had dinner every night we were there, having decided after the first night we would not find better anywhere close). It is quite close to Heraklion, but very quiet and peaceful, with some pleasant strolls from the house.

This is a romantic place surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. The restoration of the old house and the decoration is done with a lot of taste and respect. It is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the Cretan countryside. But it is Babis who made our stay unforgettable. He is a really interesting character, not just a host.... More

We came in at sunset and found the owner relaxing over a glass of wine, happily sharing his experience with us. Great old castle, totally renovated when credits have been cheap directly after Greece enter the Euro zone. And Babis, the owner, surely made good use. He speaks a few languages and can communicate also in English and German, where... More

Villa Kerasia is in the hills south of Iraklion, above the small town of Kerasia. You look out of over olive trees and grape vines across the valley. It was a wonderful place to return to after a day spent exploring south or north. Our host Babis was attentive and ever so helpful- from carrying out baggage up and then... More

Wonderful restored house, clean simple rooms, beautiful views and an excellent host Babis who knows the area very well. Highly recommended. The location allows for day trips to most of the island (even Chania). Only downside is pillows are a little hard but this was sorted out the following night.

We've stayed in this wonderful B&B before and came back this year for a 5 day stay. To me it's a perfect place, because it's away from tourism, you find absolute tranquility, a real Cretan surrounding and a perfect host, who looks after you as if you're family. The villa is beautiful and very well taken care of, the breakfast... More

We are 5 mature adults on our third trip to Greece and first trip to Crete. We had the pleasure of spending three nights at Villa Kerasia with our wonderful host Babis.The reviews and photos of Villa Kerasia do not do it justice. The villa, which was constructed under the direction of Babis over several years , was from what... More

Babis is the best host ever! We loved the dinners around the long table where we met travellers from all over Europe. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We would return to Crete just to be able to stay at Villa Kerasia again.

Very quaint and nicely decorated B&B on Crete. It is located in the mountains about a half hour from the airport/port in Heraklion. It is a little out of the way, but the separation provides guests with peace and quiet and a great view of the olive groves in the distance. We arrived later in the evening and the owner... More
