Ein tolles Anwesen, liebevoll eingerichtet

Family get together

We couldn’t have found a better spot and will definitely return. The house and grounds are spacious, with many lovely areas to seat the whole group.We loved the bbq area and seating and the big balcony has stunning views over the sea and mountains. The beach was clean with crystal clear water and we had other beaches within walking distance. There are three tavernas within a five minute walk along a rarely used side road. We were concerned that the proximity to the main road might be sn issue, but it couldn’t be heard inside the property abd it actually made access to shops and the airports very straightforward.

A lovely villa near Rethymno

A clean modern villa overlooking the sea with plenty of space in the large grounds to relax, swim in the pool or barbecue in the outside kitchen. A few metres from the gardens is a short path to a small pebble beach with crystal clear water to swim and snorkel. The villa is separated into one large apartment in the first floor and three smaller ones at ground level with direct access to the garden pool and sea! There is a road behind and not far the villa but you can’t hear the traffic from the front at all and it was not a problem - it also meant an easy drive to the beautiful town of Rethymno, though there are at three great restaurants within easy walking distance. Katerina and her family were lovely and ensured we were very well looked after. A great place, great value and stunning views!

Beautiful villa with the sea on doorsteps

The treatment by Mr. Manos while booking the Villa was exceptional and he has responded to all our special requests by 100 percent. The Villa is perfect for several families who want to stay with maximum privacy at times, but spend also some time together, the garden is beautiful and well maintained and the sea beach is just a minute down the steps. The location is perfect and the connections to restaurants are available by foot and few minutes by car to the nearest shops. The owners are very hospitable and we enjoyed the paintings of Ms. Katerina, as well as her traditional Cretan dishes that was nice surprise for us.

In die Jahre gekommene Villa

Es ist ein schönes Haus und Grundstück, besonders der Garten. Die Lage ist aber etwas schwierig, direkt an der Autobahn ist der Lautstärkepegel hoch. Dafür aber sehr nahe an Rethymnon. Die meisten schönen Sandstrände sind nur mit dem Auto erreichbar. Der zugehörige Strand ist leider auch eher schwer begehbar (steinige, kaputte Treppe, keine Geländer..) und so nicht kinderfreundlich. Leider lässt der allgemeine Zustand des Hauses zu wünschen übrig: Wir hatten immer wieder kaltes Wasser beim Duschen weil der Boiler nicht recht funktionierte. Besonders die Appartements waren in keinem guten Zustand, inkl. Schimmel in einem Badezimmer. Das Mobiliar ist zusammengewürfelt, alt und teilweise unvollständig (z.B. fehlende Birnen in Lampen). Zudem hatten wir einen Wasserschaden, der aber gleich behoben wurde. Die Appartements sind auch nicht mit dem Haupthaus verbunden. Für uns am schwerwiegendsten war die Tatsache, dass es als familienfreundlich ausgeschrieben wurde aber nicht war. Der Zugang zum Meer ist gefährlich und vor allem der Pool war ungesichert (das Foto online liess aber anderes vermuten). Darauf hingewiesen hat der Vermieter dann zwar ein Geländer montiert (das er offensichtlich zuvor schon mehrmals genutzt hatte) wollte aber ganze 150 Euro dafür, zusätzlich zu der schon hohen Miete. Er liess auch nicht mit sich reden, als wir ihn darauf ansprachen. Trotz allem waren es schöne Ferien auf Kreta.

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 at 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, passed 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 traveler, 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 in my steps, as I did before them. There is a small difference though: they are smarter, more educated, and 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
