Perfect Villa with incredible views

We absolutely loved the Villa. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The views were incredible and we had a wonderful 10 days exploring the area and chilling by the pool. Elena was very helpful and even brought us a delicious dinner one evening. The local area was fantastic-Kirianna is a charming village and Pigianos Kampos was brilliant with super restaurants and beaches. We particularly enjoyed Indigo Beach Bar, Akrogiali Taverna and Paraplous. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful villa. Thank you!

Perfect Holiday

We had the perfect holiday at Villa Katifes. We stayed with three young children. The house was spotless, the pool was brilliant and the host was amazing. The location was great. We couldn’t fault the place. Elena regularly checked in and was on hand to answer any questions. She even dropped round delicious homemade treats. We wouldn’t hesitate to return. Crete was a beautiful place.

House made the difference

Beautiful house, well equipped and kitted up with good taste. Modern, it is a recent build, and fully furnished with a great Patio and outside swimming pool, perfectly maintained. Elena, the property owner, is a sweetheart and she would satisfy any requests. Not impressed by Crete, if it were not for the beautiful beaches, but the house made the difference and contributed massively to make our holiday special.

Fantastic Villa

We had a wonderful time at the villa. It has everything you need for a great vacation. The pool area and outside sitting areas are excellent. The location is so peaceful and quiet and you can see the sea from the villa. The villa was extremely clean and Elena was amazing. She is very knowledgable about the area and was able to answer all our questions. She even made us a Greek dinner one evening which was so kind and thoughtful. The villa is a short drive to the beach and there are some interesting sights very close to the villa. We would recommend this villa to anyone and would stay here again if we return to Crete.

The best family holiday yet!

My wife and x2 sons (both under 10 years of age) have had the best family holiday yet at. Everything about the Villa is perfect for a family holiday. The villas facilities are kept to the highest standards throughout, the spaces in the Villa are perfectly conducive for the ultimate family holiday. The location is also fantastic - it’s close enough to lots of activities and restaurants to provide a sociable experience and in the same breath it’s far enough away from the busier areas you can really enjoy some quality (quiet) family time, should you so wish. What really stood out for us was the customer service provided on all fronts. Manos (Property Manager) is an absolute joy to work with building up to the visit - always responded promptly with the exact information needed, in a very polite and informative manor. Elena (Property Owner) is so friendly and welcoming - she stayed in touch with us throughout our stay- to make sure we were happy and we had everything we needed - even dropping off some family food/gifts on multiple occasions. Such a lovely experience by really good/decent human beings who care about your holiday being as good as it possibly can be. We couldn’t recommend the Villa and amazing people involved highly enough - we certainly will be revisiting again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Manos Dafermos

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
