Holiday in Crete

The villa fully corresponded to the pictures and description. We had a great time. The scenery was wonderful both for the mountains and the sea. The villa was well equipped, the bedrooms were air-conditioned and the pool area was wonderful for spending time together. A wonderful place to relax and spend a holiday. We recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Stay at Villa Eros! We had an unforgettable time at Villa Eros! The house is stunning – spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The pool was a dream, and the sea view was simply breathtaking – especially at sunset! What made our stay even more special was the warm hospitality of the owner. Despite our very late and unplanned arrival at 2 a.m., she welcomed us with a smile and made sure we were settled in comfortably. That level of kindness and dedication is rare and truly appreciated. Villa Eros is the perfect place to relax and recharge – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Manos Dafermos

Host profile image
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

Why they chose this property

Eros Villa is set at a privileged spot of Agia Triada, a serene village perched on a hillside on North Crete with an unlimited and a panoramic view of the Cretan sea, about 10 km from the old historical town of Rethymno and 3 km from the nearest sandy beach of Adele (Adelianos Kampos). Near the villa you can find grocery shop, coffee shop and bakery. Eros Villa is part of “Agios Antonios Villa Complex”, built in tranquil area full of olive groves, near the historic Arkadi Monastery and the ancient city of Eletherna and Museum. The homonymous Agios Antonios Gorge (or Patsou Gorge) starts just 800 meters away, with its water gathered in the picturestque wetland of Potami, located at the foot of Psiloritis Mountain (Ida). The Venetian Harbor of Rethymno, is the ideal place to enjoy fresh fish; Platia Tavern belongs to the villa owner and stand out for the delicious local recipes, such as the famous ntakos salad and apaki.
