Guest Reviews

"We stayed at Keras Cliff House in Greece for our engagement celebration, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We invited 9 of our closest friends and family stay with us, it was truly the best time ever. The villa itself is stunning and modern. The pool is incredible, with the most beautiful views. The kitchen has absolutely everything you could possibly need, and we made great use of the BBQ too, especially with the nearby butcher that’s perfect for picking up fresh meat. The private padel court was a HUGE highlight for us, it really sold the villa! Every detail of the villa made our stay special, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate such an important occasion. Highly recommend for groups, celebrations, or anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable stay in Greece!"

"Absolute dream location! We spent a week at Keras Cliff House and had the perfect holiday. The villa is beautifully situated, modern in design, with extremely luxurious amenities: super comfortable Coco-Mat beds, gorgeous bathrooms, a perfectly equipped kitchen, plus even a sauna and a padel court (an absolute highlight). Especially the spacious outdoor area with pool, hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen is perfect for a larger group. Unbeatable above all is the breathtaking view of the sea. The week was incredibly relaxing – we’ll be back!"

"We stumbled across this place by chance – and were blown away. Keras Cliff House is the kind of spot you’d want to come back to with friends, again and again. The architecture is stunning, built right into the cliff with amazing sea views from every room. Everything feels brand new and thoughtfully done – you can tell a lot of care went into it. It’s also incredibly peaceful up there – just the sea, the breeze, and quiet. Mornings started with a Padel match or a workout in the outdoor gym, then pool time, and later BBQ with sunset views from the outdoor kitchen. Couldn’t wish for more! We’ll definitely be back."

With a drink in hand, you gaze out at the sea as far as the eye can see and simply enjoy life! The house is very spacious, blends beautifully into the landscape, and invites you to feel at ease. We loved having dinners at home, refreshing ourselves in the pool, admiring the sunset, and having fun on the padel court. All of it in peace and with plenty of privacy thanks to the unique location – and thanks to the dedicated team on site. Thank you! Pure bliss."

I was especially impressed by the infinity pool, the sauna, and the hot tub – relaxation at the highest level. The outdoor gym and padel court are also fantastic for anyone who wants to stay active while on holiday. The rooms are super comfortable and stylishly furnished, each with its own bathroom. I have rarely felt so at ease. If you’re looking for an exclusive getaway in Crete, this is the perfect place!"
