Villa Aglaia - Outdoor Jacuzzi - Affordable Luxury - Privacy

Designed for the ultimate holidays, away from it all, in a beautiful paradise!

Keramoti Villas is a project of tranquillity and peacefulness in the most beautiful and unspoiled setting in the farthest western part of the magical island of Crete.
Keramoti Villas where created having in mind the high demand of today's holiday makers for quietness, beautiful unspoiled natural environments, tranquillity and peace of mind. Keramoti Villas has also managed to combine absolute luxury and comfort supported with all the amenities of modern living in the most beautiful Architectural creations.
The villas themselves where built with natural local stone, giving the grandiose feeling of a castle estate.

Villa Aglaia has been carefully designed to reflect the character of the local landscape and Architecture. We used local natural stone for its construction, just like our other villas, trying to preserve a natural earthly image amongst the beautiful natural landscape. The yard is spacious and gives the impression of total freedom, not being caged from any sides but still holds tight the privacy of the villa from the surroundings. Wood tiles used for the ceilings respectively reflect a tranquil and harmonious aesthetic throughout the villa. Function and comfort combined with elegance and luxury are the dominating themes which we tried to express and bring to realization. The careful planning of the interior space ensures a gratifying experience of comfort and enjoyment while bringing the outdoor beauty in the villa through the large glass sliding doors. The refreshing feeling of the pool 12m X 4 m just in front of the villa enhances the experience of luxury, while its infinity design blends the elements with the landscape. And of course the very special position where we are situated supports the effects of tranquillity and peacefulness, the enjoyment of nature s wild beauty and the unbelievable breathtaking sea and sunset views.
ā€‹
Villa Aglaia is a beautiful two bedroom villa built with natural local stone, natural clay tiles, and wood trunks expressing a natural and tranquil feeling throughout its design. The large sliding glass doors just in front of the living space open up to the spacious swimming pool just in front, bringing the outside beauty in your living room. The outdoor pergola was designed as an outdoor entertainment area with magnificent sea views and as a functional space to move in and out with ease. The open plan living and dinning space reflect comfort and elegance in its choice of furniture and decorative design which integrates harmoniously with the kitchen area. The kitchen of the villa is fully equipped with all quality amenities for a really pleasurable cooking experience. On either side of this central living space the two bedrooms are positioned offering individual privacy as well as ease of access. The bedrooms reflect elegant and luxurious aesthetics, while emphasizing the elements of comfort, privacy and functionality. The bedroom with the double bed has an en suite bathroom with an open space jet powered shower bath protected with a privacy curtain and the one with the two single beds, has a bathroom with shower. Last but not least, the villas spacious infinity swimming pool is simply that special highlight of the wonderful experience this accommodation generously offers. The enclosed large garden of the villa provides relaxation and safety for the kids.


Enjoy a truly unique and special experience of elegance and beauty at one of the few remaining unspoiled natural niches.

For those truly special holidays Keramoti-Villas is a promise!
The design of the villas had two major goals, first to make a comfortable and functional space that will meet the demands of the most discerning holiday makers for beauty and comfort, and second to integrate the villas in to the existing landscape so that they do not become obtrusive in anyway but rather give the feeling that they are part of the existing landscape.
In addition special care was made for the design of the outdoor spaces, with comfortable niches for entertaining or chilling out, for sunbathing or reading.
And to enhance all this we have carefully implemented our designs for grass and garden spaces, adding color and vitality to the whole setting.
And to top of the experience, our villas are positioned on a slightly slopping hill, amongst olive trees and facing straight west, enjoying magnificent sea views and the most extraordinary sunsets. A marvelous show just in front of you.
Each of our villas is absolute private and has its own private swimming pool, designed to be enjoyed while marvelling at the amassing sea views. The impression created, while in our pools, that the pool and sea are mingling together is a very special effect of our design considerations.
All in all Keramoti Villas is an amazing place to enjoy the most memorable holidays with your loved ones.

Perfect holiday, away from everything
What a great holiday in this wonderful Villa! 2 bedrooms for 4 People, en-Suite bathrooms, nice kitchen, infinity pool with great shallow start ideal for small children to deep end where even adults can jump in with no problems. 15min drive to Elafonisi beach (if you know the way). The Villa is a bit separated from the others and you are on your own. Nothing bothers the eye when looking at the ocean for 180Ā°. Niko is always helpful, organizes everything (even Pampers on short notice)! The food from the Taverna is very good, inexpensive and the owner delivers it right to your table, very friendly, very generous. There is no problem because of the EU discussions, money was in the cash machine and we were able to pay with our credit Card without Problems. One "negative" point: to shop for food you have to drive 45 min. Perfect place, nice People, for the first time ever we are thinking about coming back to a place for a second time....

Away from it all
We had a fabulous two weeks at Villa Aglaia. The villa is in a beautiful, quiet location with amazing sunsets! It is a perfect villa to escape from busy lifestyles and we melted into the local rural area. There is only one taverna within reasonable distance but the terrace at the villa is wonderful for eating in or taking up the food delivery service (we didnā€™t use this though). The villa could do with some upgrading, particularly the shower room and main bedroom ensuite. It is also in need of more kitchen utensils/smaller saucepans. More comfortable relaxation seats around the pool would also be a good addition. The Manager is excellent and quick to respond to queries. Thank you for a wonderful couple of weeks!

Incredible View and Great Pool
Please know that the pictures do not do the view justice- It has a perfect view of the sunset facing West with a panoramic view of the ocean. The infinity pool is a very generous size and easily one of the largest ive seen at any villa. The stars are amazing at night. The accommodations inside are fine and comfortable, but the real star of the place is the outside area. AC works wonderfully in high heat, beds are comfy, and the kitchen has most everything you need. The proximity to Elafonisi beach is very nice and can be reached (by the coastal road, if you ignore google) by 15 minutes. It is one of the main reasons you should stay here as most people have multi hour roundtrips to get to this beach. Do know the area is quite remote and roads are not for the faint of heart. If you want privacy, family/romantic time, great pool, beautiful sunsets this place is perfect. There are a few great tavernas that can be reached in 5-10 minutes (highly recommend "The West" in Kampos). It is a great base for a side of the island most do not see much of. There are a few other villas around but still nothing that should interfere with your privacy. Would stay again!

Perfect for relaxing
Villa Aglaia is a great place to really relax. The sunsets were stunning. The property is beautifully built and very comfortable. For our family; with teenage children happy to wander to the beach and snorkel alone, it was great. A local taverna had fantastic food and only a short drive away. The journey to the property was breath taking, literally, around some v sharp bends in the mountains, but also stunning views. This did make journeys out a bit of a mission, but we were out every day at different beaches, or activities. We always made it home for sunset though as just amazing.

Tolles Haus mit herrlichem Blick und fantastischem Pool
Das Haus liegt einsam an der WestkĆ¼ste zusammen mit einigen anderen feinen Villen in Alleinlage. Sehr gross, schƶn ausgestattet mit groƟem Pool mit Blick auf den spektakulƤren Sonnenuntergang. Lange Anfahrt, von Chania fast 2 Stunden, in der Umgebung der berĆ¼hmte Elafonissi Strand(20min). Wir haben aber auch viel Zeit am Haus verbracht, da wir nicht so viel fahren wollten. FĆ¼r die Erkundung der Insel liegt das Haus zu abseits. Der Vermieter hat uns 5 Tage vor Anreise in eine andere Villa umgebucht, die Villa Myllina, 250 m vom gebuchtem Objekt entfernt(Grund?), die Beschreibung bezieht sich auf diese Villa. Die Villen sind sich aber sehr Ƥhnlich, unsere war vom Haus und vom Pool etwas grĆ¶ĆŸer. Schade nur, das die Poolbeleuchtung erst nach 3 Tagen funktionierte, das hƤtten die Vermieter(sehr freundlich) vor der Umbuchung Ć¼berprĆ¼fen kƶnnen.

Sehr schƶne Villa mit perfektem Service
Wir waren Ende Juni 2021 fĆ¼r 2 Wochen in der Villa Aretousa. UrsprĆ¼nglich hatten wir die Villa Aglaia gebucht, wurden aber vor unserer Ankunft (und mit unserem EinverstƤndnis) auf Aretousa umgebucht, weil es ein technisches Problem mit dem Pool gab. Die beiden HƤuser liegen nur wenige 100 Meter voneinander entfernt und sind von der Konstruktion sehr Ƥhnlich. Die Ausstattung im Haus und das Service waren perfekt, es gab auch mehrmals wƤhrend unseres Aufenthalts ein Reinigungsservice, was nicht selbstverstƤndlich ist. Die Lage in Westkreta nahe Livadia ist ideal fĆ¼r Leute, die Ruhe und Entspannung suchen und die nicht jeden Tag Ć¼ber die ganze Insel fĆ¼r Besichtigungen fahren wollen. Der Standort ist dann aber doch nicht so einsam, wie man auf den ersten Blick vermuten wĆ¼rde. Ɯber die StraƟe durch Livadia nach SĆ¼den erreicht man in 20 Minuten einen Supermarkt und in 25 Minuten ist man in Elafonissi. Dort hat man eine absolut tolle Auswahl an StrƤnden fĆ¼r die andere Touristen aus dem Norden oder Osten stundenlang anreisen mĆ¼ssen. Tipp 1: Nach Elafonissi nicht nach dem Routenplaner fahren, der zeigt die StraƟe direkt entlang der KĆ¼ste nicht an, die Route Ć¼ber die HaupstraƟe ist ein groƟer Umweg. Tipp 2: Unbedingt Gialites Taverna besuchen (ca. 5 Minuten), die QualitƤt des Essens ist absolut Spitze. Tipp 3: Der Vermieter ist absolut zuvorkommend und hilfreich, wenn man mal nicht einkaufen will oder kann, Ć¼bernehmen seine Leute gerne das Lieferservice.

Unglaublich tolle Unterkunft!
Hat alles super geklappt. Bin erst um 1:30 in der Nacht angekommen. Die Kommunikation mit Mario war exzellent, sodass der Check-in auch um diese Uhrzeit super unproblematisch ablief. Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist ein bisschen abenteuerlich, da es viel Serpentin und tlw. unbefestigte StraƟen zu Ć¼berwinden gibt. Dennoch lohnt sich diese Unterkunft, wenn man nach Ruhe, Entspannung und Erholung sucht. Super ausgestattet Unterkunft! Alles da was man benƶtigt. Einen unglaublich tollen Blick auf das Meer und ein unglaublich toller Sonnenuntergang. Wichtig zu erwƤhnen: Man brauch ein Auto um Einkaufen, Essen oder zum Strand zu fahren. Alles ist innerhalb von 15 min erreichbar. Kann man drĆ¼ber hinwegsehen, man ist ja schlieƟlich im Urlaub. Rund um kann man die Unterkunft nur empfehlen! Viele GrĆ¼ĆŸe aus Berlin

This place has mastered the art of seduction
Beautiful location. The views are exceptional. The owners are helpful, responsive and extremely kind. While rural, the area has a lot of offer as Elafonisi beach is only 20 minutes away via the coastal road (Google will tell you to take the highway (approx. 40 min) but take the coastal road (in excellent condition better than the last stretch of road to the Keramoti Villas) past Livadia (the local ā€˜Villageā€™) and you will reach Elafonisi and other restaurants in 20 minutes). My initial impression of the location was extremely rural and remote. When we first arrived we came from Chania and the last stretch of road after leaving the motorway is exceptionally rural. The scenery however is beautiful. The owners met us when we arrived and showed us around the properly. Our pool filter was broken at our villa so they arranged for us to move into an equal if not better villa. The owners equipped us with eggs, bacon, feta cheese, bread, butter, wine, oranges, orange juice, milk and water when we arrived to ensure we had the basics to get us started as the local town does not have a market. The nearest is 20 minutes away. They also gifted us with olive oil, oregano, and Greek salt from their family property. The owners provided a beautiful dinner of Chicken, Potatoes and a Greek Salad on our first night. Check out Koutoulou Beach-Keramoti Beach (walking distance) and the famous Elafonisi Beach while you are there. The local and only restaurant in the town 5 minutes away is called Gialites Tavernare. We highly recommend this restaurant. Their food is fantastic and the atmosphere feels like you are at your Greek uncles house. They also make their own pottery on site. As mentioned before, take the coastal road to Elafonisi (Google does not register this road but it has been recently paved) and you will discover more restaurants and markets as you approach Elafonisi beach. This is a good area to pick up groceries if need be. I mentioned to my husband I felt seduced by this area of Crete. At first I was overwhelmed with how rural it felt but after understanding our surroundings I fell in love with the place. The villa provided a private, quiet, peaceful place to relax and truly check out for a few days. We were treated to an epic sunset each night. With no one else around just my husband and I sipping on white wine relaxing by the pool. Highly recommend !! The entire time I felt like I was looking out onto the edge of the world.

Tolles Haus in einsamer Lage
Ein wirklich schƶnes und geschmackvolles Haus, sehr sauber und nett eingerichtet. Die Aussicht, die Terrasse und der Pool sind einfach wundervoll. Sehr netter Vermieter, der sich gut um seine GƤste kĆ¼mmert. Die Taverne und ihr Catering Service sind, gerade angesichts der einsamen Lage, ein wunderbares Plus. Das Essen ist lecker, auf Wunsch werden auch Gerichte gekocht, die nicht auf der (guten) Karte stehen. Der wahnsinnig nette Elafonisi Strand ist (auf der StraƟe am Strand entlang, einfach Richtung Taverne fahren) in 15 bis 20 Minuten leicht zu erreichen. Alles andere erfordert eine relativ lange Fahrt Ć¼ber viele Serpentinen. Darauf muss man vorbereitet sein, das Haus liegt wirklich abgelegen.

A lovely villa perched on the hills over-looking the sea on the west coast of Crete
A lovely villa - clean, tidy and a great position. If we were to suggest any improvements it would be better directions to find the villa as we struggled as did others who visited us. The villa was slightly let down with the shower in the 2nd bedroom - could do with upgrading. A proper shower to the main bedroom would be better than the bath. The kitchen could be of a better quality - the worktop was very basic; we would normally expect a granite / stone worktop in a villa like this. Also, perhaps soft close doors etc to the units. The swimming pool was not heated and took a while to build the courage to brave the cold water! However, overall, the villa was very good and we would recommend to others.

Sehr erholsam
Wir waren die ersten zwei Wochen im Oktober auf Kreta. Die Villa ist sehr schƶn gelegen. Die Sicht auf das Meer und die Umgebung ist fantastisch. Wer die Ruhe sucht ist hier definitiv am richtigen Ort. Die Abgeschiedenheit der Anlage ist einzigartig. Wer dieses Domizil wƤhlt muss sich bewusst sein, dass EinkƤufe nicht gleich um die Ecke getƤtigt werden kƶnnen. FĆ¼r einen Einkauf fƤhrt man locker 20-30 Minuten.(Tante Emma Laden) Das Haus ist wie in der Anzeige beschrieben. Im Oktober hatte es fast keine Touristen und so hatten wir unser ganz persƶnlichen Strand am Meer, zwar nur Kieselstrand aber dafĆ¼r wird man mit glasklarem Wasser belohnt und die Wassertemperatur betrug gefĆ¼hlte 24 Grad. AusflĆ¼ge in das Hinterland sind sehr zu empfehlen. Wer etwas mehr Trubel mag kann an die wunderschƶne Elafonissi Beach, diese erreicht man in ca. 50 Minuten mit dem Auto. Fazit; Es war ein wunderbarer Urlaub weit weg von Hektik und Alltagsleben, ein Ort um zu relaxen und KrƤfte zu tanken.
