About this property

Absolut Privacy in this chalet style villa, private pool, BBQ area, shaded Patio

Villa Limeri forms the basis of a lifelong memory and is made of the stuff that any celebrity or noncelebrity seeks to find peace, quiet and that feeling of "separateness" (why else do people own islands and estates?).

Yes, there is a road, since it is 15 km away from the main town of Rethymnon, but that's how you get to Villa there it is as if no road had ever reached the place. Eclectic in design and architecture this has the modern version of a "great hall", yet none of the darkness of an old mansion, it is all exposed to the magic healing light we get so much of in Crete. In the middle of the flora and fauna, the massive mountains, the small trees and shrubs, the fragrant plants and herbs, the dramatic rocks to every side - far away from people, your view is open, and the air is clear. The land area devoted to the house is large (20 hectares), but you benefit from the extension of this all into the underpopulated hills beyond. Sit and think, write a paper, start a novel, or go for a walk in the so many different paths that someone can take. Going inside this 280 sqm villa there is a great-hall-sized living with spectacular views of inland Crete, a dining and kitchen area, and a 20sqm balcony. Then still on the ground floor, a unique modern stone and wood-inspired bathroom. Opposite you will find one of the bedrooms and up the open wood stairs to a gallery corridor leading into the other 2 bedrooms and one smaller bathroom. There is no air conditioning in the living room but only in the bedrooms, as Villa Limeri's 420 m altitude and well-angled position keep things cool. Or If you want to be a bit more cool, you can head down to the swimming pool. The name "Limeri", for your interest and perhaps descriptive of its qualities means a "haunt" or "refuge" and for others means a retreat', or 'lair' (as in pirate's or fox's lair) in GreekOther Facilities are: fireplace, central heating, mini HiFi, flat screen TV, DVD player, High-speed internet connection and a fully equipped kitchen with gas, a dishwasher, fridge, and washing machine. Mountain biking and hiking or if you are a bird-watching enthusiast, bring your binoculars as Villa Limeri's position/location is ideal for this kind of sport!

Important notice: The villa is not suitable for kids under 12 years old.

The property and views were amazing more than we could have expected. Maria was brilliant
We loved staying at Limeri it was perfect for relaxing and enjoying our families needs. The views were amazing, sounds of goat bells and wildlife made it such a special place. The star gazing on the vast veranda was spectacular. We loved Rocky the very friendly dog which guarded us from down the hill. No bother at all. Air con was a real treat but possibly not needed. We barbecued every night and facilities were such that we ate in most nights. Most tavernas sold the same food which was why the first one in Armeri on the right was great as they served you what was on that night which was all different to the usual. Maria was very attentive for her father Andreas to all our needs. Although Andreas was the dooer but not as good English as Maria. So thanks Andreas and Maria we’ll never forget our stay. X

Very beautiful and comfortable house
The house is very big and pleasant. The principle room is just awesome with is large bay window and it amazing vue. Bedrooms are quiet, every thing is very functional. The only point is the swiming pool which is smaller than we expect, despite that we appreciate very mutch our stay in the house.

Nice secluded Villa in very quiet area with beautiful vies over the mountains
We were one week in the villa Limeri (two adults and two children - age 2 and 7). The villa had everything what we needed. Was very nice designed and placed so great, that we could have a breakfest at the terrace with the great vier over the mountains. It is very quiet area with only herds of sheeps spoiling the silence. The pool at the villa was also clean and well maintained. The location is perfect for the trips to the north coast (20 min drive to Rethymno) or to the south coast (40 min drive to Plakias). Andreas, who is the owner and who build the house, has his own dog living in the small house next to the villa. But one does not have to be bothered about the dog, if you are scared of the dogs etc. The only thing which we would say was a bit negative, that the area around the pool has a lot of stone steps and small walls, which were a bit of worry for our younger son (2 years old). We had to have an eye on him. But in general, we have only good memories from our stay the villa and would definitely recommend it to the people, who want to avoid crowds of tourists and noisy towns.

About the host

Hello there,
I am Manos, owner and manager of CreteVillas4U. I have been in the hospitality sector long before CreteVillas4U, however. I was actually born, grew up, and spent most of my life in a hotel owned by my family. So, I guess it came as no surprise when I expressed my wish to study in Rhodes’ Tourism School and, later on, when I decided to start my own business in the sector.
One thing I learned growing up in a family-run hotel is that hospitality is more than hotel management, logistics and operations. It is a culture, passing down from one generation to the next. You can study to be a hotel manager but you cannot study to be hospitable.
I apply this philosophy in my business as well. The rule is simple: the guests of the villas I manage are my guests. As an active traveller, I expect nothing less myself.
The fourth generation of Dafermos hoteliers has already been born. I know now that my two beautiful children will probably follow my steps, like I did before them. There is a small difference though: they are smarter, more educated, better (big smile).

CreteVillas4u Head Offices are located in Rethymnon , Crete, Lasithiou 1 Str. under the approval of the Greek Tourism Organization with License number: 1041E70000184301

All the best,
Manos Dafermos
