4 Bedrooms, perfect sea views, Infinity pool, Hot tub, Walk to beach & tavernas.

If you would love to spend your holiday completely relaxing in a sophisticated modern villa with one of the most sought-after locations in an area famed for its natural beauty, then look no further than Villa Saga. The convenience of beaches, boat rental, water sports, shops, tavernas, and cafes, being close at hand in Almyrida and Kera cannot be overstated, and from its privileged, elevated position Villa Saga is also blessed with the most breathtaking sea and mountain views from the infinity pool, hot tub, and terraces.

We are delighted to be the exclusive agents for Villa Saga which truly is a villa for all persons (being well-equipped for a wheel-chair user), and a villa all seasons. Our guests in the low season will be delighted to find that there is both a hot tub for their use, as well as the lovely pool which can be heated for an optional extra fee, and keen walkers will enjoy the many quiet country trails with wonderful views, that start at Kera and go across pine clad hills and through olive groves to the charming villages of Gavalohori, Douliana, and Tsivaras. Summer visitors to Villa Saga are equally fortunate with a choice of many different terraces, which have either sun or shade, and are all fully furnished to the highest standard.

Intimate al fresco meals and congenial social gatherings under the golden sun or star-painted sky will be inspired by the villa’s amazing summer kitchen, barbecue, and shaded poolside dining area which have views that stretch beyond the glistening pool to the turquoise sea. Simply put, the inventory in the both the indoor and outdoor kitchens is the best that we have ever come across. Despite the proximity of other villas, the natural stone walls and raised flowerbeds to the side and rear of the pool terrace afford a good deal of privacy. Clever lighting ensures that long hot summer days swimming and playing in the cooling water of the infinity pool will turn easily into magical nights cooking delicious fresh local produce on the charcoal grill which can be enhanced using the fresh rosemary, mint, basil, and thyme that grow in terracotta pots next to the barbeque. The main covered terrace that runs along the front of Villa Saga contains a second outside dining area, in addition to a plump sofa which may just be the ideal place to lie back with a good book, or watching the local fishing boats and colourful catamarans, in the fresh air, but out of the sun. There is no better vantage point however, from which to take in the superlative vistas than the roof terrace which is accessed via an external staircase. What could be better than observing Kera’s incandescent sunsets over Souda Bay with a chilled glass of your favourite tipple, from the comfort of one of the large sofas on the roof terrace? Perhaps the answer could be found sitting in the adjacent hot tub and gazing at hundreds of stars in the clear night sky…..

As you would expect from the villa’s kind Norwegian owners, the elegant and restful interiors have been well thought-out, and they complement the fantastic exterior perfectly. Villa Saga has quality contemporary furnishings that blend effortlessly with the traditional pergolas, flagstones, and natural stone walls. The villa has a lovely light and airy and is air conditioned throughout. The doors, windows, shutters, and mosquito screens are made from Wedgewood blue coloured aluminium which perfectly matches the attractive blue wooden pergolas. For the cooler nights at the start and end of the season the air conditioning units double up as heaters, and there is a fireplace in the living room. Free unlimited Wi-Fi, a smart TV, and a Bluetooth speaker are supplied, the fully equipped modern kitchen has every appliance that you could ask for including a ceramic hob, fan assist oven, dishwasher, microwave oven, toaster, kettle, and coffee maker, juicer, food processor, waffle iron, and even a meat slicer! The main floor shower room houses a washing machine and tumble drier and has extra wide doors and grab rails for wheelchair users.

Superb flexibility of accommodation is available at Villa Saga, and it is therefore a superb choice for larger parties, sharing families, or groups of friends who are looking to holiday together while still retaining the option of privacy and independence. The main floor is on the same level as the parking, pool, and dining terraces, and being equipped with a wheel-in shower, a single adjustable height bed, and a portable hoist, makes it the perfect option for guests who are elderly or disabled, whilst the lower level of the villa is a self-contained 1 bedroom apartment with a separate entrance, and there is also an individually accessed 4th bedroom that is set on a terrace below the main villa.

The majority of the villa’s beautiful garden is located on a terrace just below the villa and pool, and above the self-contained 4th bedroom. Looked after with great care, and planted with an impressive variety of typically Mediterranean shrubs that provide a rainbow of exquisite colours and fragrances that enchant the senses, including hibiscus, oleander, aromatic roses, jasmine and honeysuckle, bird of paradise, geraniums, bougainvillea, lantana, plumbago, yucca, date palms, orange, and mandarin.

Villa Saga is a captivating property that offers spectacular views, a plethora of furniture inside and out, a heated pool and hot tub, facilities for wheelchair users, and a convenient location within walking distance of the beach in Kera Cove, and the many amenities in Almyrida – which can only mean that all of your prayers have been answered!

*** As of January 01, 2024, the Greek government have replaced the old “bed tax” with a new tax that is applied to all stays in short-term rental accommodation in Greece. The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters.

The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows:
In 2024: €10.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.
In 2025: €15.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.

Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we encourage our guests to see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying.

The Vrbo system does not yet have a section for collecting the Climate Resilience Levy and we have, therefore, had to add it to the billing section as an extra Fee which will show on the booking as a Host Fee (until Vrbo update their system).
