Simply Amazing

From the moment Maria met us for check in, we knew we were going to have a fabulous time. She was very engaging and answered all of our questions. This home is not only beautiful, it has the perfect location, steps away from a beautiful beach, shops, and tavernas. Well furnished w a thoughtful welcome basket. It was spotless! Mano did an incredible job communicating which included numerous suggestions on places to go and see. We would stay here again and again!

Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit für eine Bewertung genommen haben. Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen die Villa und der private Pool gefallen haben. Was die Aussicht betrifft, so liegt das Anwesen, wie auf unseren Fotos zu sehen, an einer Strandstraße, an der normalerweise Autos parken, was die Aussicht je nach Tageszeit beeinträchtigen kann. Wir freuen uns über Ihr Feedback und hoffen, Sie bald wieder begrüßen zu dürfen! Herzliche Grüße, Ihr Cretevillas4u-Team

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
