Warm welcome by the owner who also provided great information about the surrounding area. Villa is beautiful, exactly as shown in the pictures. It was immaculately cleaned before our arrival and everything is included that you may need for the beach/pool.
Be prepared that the beach is not sand, but rather large pebbles. You can buy water shoes in the nearby grocery store, so it wasn't a problem. The pool is also great.
We enjoyed the view from the balcony watching the sunrise and sunset.
Location is convenient for discovering Chania and western Crete.
We had a great time and I would highly recommend the villa.

Die Villa war ein Traum. Direkt am Meer (Badeschuhe sind von Vorteil)
Das Haus und der Pool waren sehr sauber und wir hatten alles, was man braucht. Mehrere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub. Vielen Dank für alles.

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
