Aparthotel Estate Kares
Tílisos, Tílisos, 71500, Greece – Great location - show map
Excellent hospitality in the heart of the Cretan nature! Don't forget to try the homemade breakfast and certainly the pomegranate juice! Georgia thank you for your hospitality!
GreeceExcellent family atmosphere. Made to feel at home immediately. Staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. And so helpful. Fantastic location a little away from it all and lots of space around the accommodation. Easy access to the main sites in the area and Heraklion. Great home cooking from Georgia, who was our main host. She made us feel like one of the family which made for a very relaxing, fuss free holiday. Meal times were always great fun. We were especially welcomed by the family of cats that hung around Estate Kares and the kittens were so sweet!
United KingdomA great place with panoramic views of the city of Heraklion Crete and resort amenities. The staff were great and always helpful. The breakfast and dinner were also homemade, warm and very tasty. The pool was as clean as the sun loungers. 4 seats Jacuzzi with panoramic view
NetherlandsVery friendly manager, clean and huge rooms, nice view to Heraklion.
Czech RepublicThis place is really very beautiful and peaceful. We stayed with 3 children and filled home as it’s a family oriented place. The surroundings are green and beautiful. It’s not that far from Heraklion. The staff is amazing and friendly. Georgia is a sweet and hard working lady who is always ready to help you in every possible way! Our daughter got an ear infection which was painful, we discussed it with her and she called het family doctor in seconds. Our little girl got a good check up and the medicines were prescribed. She was recovering the same day! The breakfast is amazing and fresh. The food is amazing. Georgia cooks the best lamb chops. We recommend this place to everyone.
NetherlandsNicely maintained spacious mini resort in amazing olive tree setting. Hearty food too.
United KingdomThis is a paradise. The property is clean, beautifel and is the perfect place to rest and recover from our City lives. You will feel at home because the Lady Who works there Will take care of you as family. You can eat walk and see nature. 25 mints from eraclio
PortugalGeorgia is so friendly, nice and helpful. We liked the dinner and the breakfast she made. They have fruits, yoghurt, cake, bread, cheese, good coffee, fresh juice and many things more. While you have breakfast you have a nice view at Heraklion. The room is small and cosy. The panoramic window is nice. You find the shower in the room itself. We liked that it is located near Heraklion and Knossos. Thank you
GermanyEstate Kares is a beautiful place. The view up to Iraklio and Dia and to the surrounding mountains is just magnificent. The rooms are clean and up to date. The breakfast and the dinner was perfect, you will love the food. We highly recommend a stay at Estate Kares, especially because of the heart-warming people managing the place, like Georgia and Eleni. PS: We travelled with our baby and stayed at the end of the season in Octobre.
GermanyI loved Everything. The view is not less then amazing. The vila is huge and beautiful. But the most amazing thing was Gorggia the manager, she is so nice. My girls said that they met the nicest person in Crete. She is so friendly and welcoming, it felt like metting a good friend from the past. Thank you so much for everything. We will miss you for sure. B.t.y- you must eat there. She's also a great cooker.

Ktimakares Villas was a project that was completed in 2007. Karabinis Manuel, founder and director although bank employee saw the obvious, that's where born and grew up in an area of 50 acres, just outside the city of Heraklion, away from the noise of cities and mass tourism. It is a special place for rest and revitalisation both for him and for many visitors. Ktimakares - its name from the location of the area that says area with many walnut trees.
The day may begin with a rich breakfast in the estate's traditional coffee house alongside the rising sun. Our guests can let loose in the shade under the trees reading a book or sampling traditional meze and raki in the Cretan tavern which we lovingly built or taking a bicycle, horse into the river trail and the surrounding mountains making their way from the cave of the Holy Fire to the village of Tylissos with its rich archaeological findings and the unparalleled local hospitality. Upon returning to the estate, the invinting B.B.Q, the fully equipped fitness room and the pool are at their disposal.
