Great Villa, great host, remote location but perfect for a relaxing family holiday.

Very spacious and clean, great views. Nice little taverna 2min walk. Elafonisi Beach 15min drive and Falarsana Beach 45min drive. 2 of the greatest beaches on the island - lots of water sport activities for families- we did a windsurfing course and a wave riding course with Surf Island. Very good!

Serene Sunsets

We arrived at our villa and were welcomed by our host who was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The villa and pool were both bigger than we expected. The location is idyllic for a serene and peaceful stay with beautiful sunsets and friendly local cats & kittens! There is very little to do in the immediate area so a hire car is essential but we found some beautiful beaches and tavernas just a short drive away.

Belle maison avec jolie vue sur la mer

La maison est spacieuse avec 4 grandes chambres et 4 salle de bains. La piscine est grande. L'endroit est très calme. On peut se baigner dans la mer à 3 minutes en voiture de la maison. Il y a deux tavernes dans le village. Et d'autres à 10-15 minutes en voiture. Le premier supermarché est à 15 minutes. on est un peu loin de tout, mais ce que nous avons apprécié. Le mobilier est plutôt vieillot avec un petit lave-vaisselle et peu de vaisselle. Le prix de la location est un peu dessus de sa valeur. Les jolies plages d'Elafonisi et de Kedrodasos sont à 15-20 minutes.

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
