Amazing holiday!

We had a lovely stay at the villa. Great location close to bars and restaurants but far enough from the main town and set in a beautiful location with mountain and sea views and away from main road, so feels secluded and very calm and relaxing. Also it’s very near the stop for the ‘little train’ bus tour that goes to the nearby beaches. The pool area was fantastic, with a lovely shaded terrace. Great gas barbecue for meals outdoors. Plenty of nice comfy outdoor chairs, loungers etc. Everything was new, clean and well maintained. Stefanos our host was lovely! He was welcoming and super helpful giving us lots of tips for restaurants and beaches to visit.

GREAT SPACE

We had a lovely time in Bali! This home is amazing. It has 2 separate living spaces. We enjoyed the space very much. Having the pool was incredible! The outdoor space is amazing. We did end up renting a car. Walking into town is completely possible - we saw a lot of people walking - but it was hot, so we opted to rent a car from the local rental Bali Car Rental place - they, too, were amazing - they even brought the car to us! We would definitely stay there again! Communication was great - we were not in need of anything - and, yet, Stefanos checked on us frequently and gave us a lot of recommendations for local activities and attractions! GREAT PLACE! Highly recommend.

Sehr schöne Villa, die zum Relaxen einlädt

Die Villa ist wirklich sehr schön, ist modern ausgestattet, die Klimaanlagen sind sehr funktionell. Man sollte wissen, dass bei einer Buchung mit 4 Personen nur der obere Bereich geöffnet wird mit zwei Schaffzimmern und einem Bad. Dort ist eine herrliche überdachte Terrasse. Stefanos als Ansprechpartner hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert und noch fehlende Dinge besorgt. Die Kommunikation hat super funktioniert. Lieben Dank dafür. Es gibt einen regelmäßigen Reinigungs- sowie Handtuchwechselservice. Ich finde, die Küche könnte etwas besser ausgestattet sein. Mehr Tassen, mehr Besteck- das sollte schon 2x für 4 Personen reichen und nicht so abgezählt sein. Es fehlen Kleinigkeiten, vielleicht nicht der Rede wert aber auch eine Schere wäre sinnvoll. Der Aussenbereich ist super- Pool, Liegen, Sitzgelegenheiten, Grill - alles sehr gut! Man kann auch unter Bäumen im Schatten verweilen. Über

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
