We stayed as a big family group of 19, split across the two villas, and it worked out perfectly — plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still feeling together. The photos online really don’t do the property justice; it was even lovelier in person. Every room had AC, which made a huge difference in the heat. A definite highlight was booking a private chef for one night — such a special touch and a meal we’re still talking about. Highly recommend for any large family gathering.

Tout a été parfait. Le lieu est exceptionnel ! Le seul bémol est la recommandation du loueur de voiture. En effet il n’a pas été précisé de faire attention aux cartes de paiement de la location et on a bien senti que c’était une mega arnaque qu’ils avaient l’habitude de pratiquer ! Il faut effectivement une carte de crédit et non une carte de débit. En France nous n’avons pas l’habitude de faire la différence. Résultat, au lieu de payer la location comme prévue au tarif de 1100e nous avons dû rajouter 1500e d’assurance … une belle Surprise !!

Merci pour votre commentaire positif et pour avoir souligné l'excellent emplacement. Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre votre mauvaise expérience avec la société de location de voitures. Veuillez noter que chaque société de location a ses propres conditions générales concernant les dépôts de garantie et l'assurance, qui sont clairement stipulées dans leurs contrats. Les dépôts de garantie sont remboursables et il ne s'agit pas d'une arnaque. Nous comprenons votre frustration et regrettons que votre expérience avec cette société de location indépendante n'ait pas été positive. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau très prochainement. Cordialement, L'équipe CreteVillas4U

Absolutely Perfect!

It may be hard to believe but the property actually looks even nicer than on the photos! It's in perfect condition and very well maintained. The owner looks after it very meticoulously and she is also extremely friendly and available, she came around a few times to provide whatever we needed. It's well located, about 10 minutes drive from a nice beach, shops and lots of restaurant. It's best to have a car as there is not much within walking distance. It has absoultely everything for a good family vacation. with 22 people we didn't feel crumped at all as there are good sized communal areas, huge garden, large swimming pool, large dining room enough for 22 people, kids room... All of our guests were amazed! This is definately a place to come to!

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
