About this property
Absolut Privacy in this chalet style villa, private pool, BBQ area, shaded Patio
Villa Limeri forms the basis of a lifelong memory and is made of the stuff that any celebrity or noncelebrity seeks to find peace, quiet and that feeling of "separateness" (why else do people own islands and estates?).

Yes, there is a road, since it is 15 km away from the main town of Rethymnon, but that's how you get to Villa there it is as if no road had ever reached the place. Eclectic in design and architecture this has the modern version of a "great hall", yet none of the darkness of an old mansion, it is all exposed to the magic healing light we get so much of in Crete. In the middle of the flora and fauna, the massive mountains, the small trees and shrubs, the fragrant plants and herbs, the dramatic rocks to every side - far away from people, your view is open, and the air is clear. The land area devoted to the house is large (20 hectares), but you benefit from the extension of this all into the underpopulated hills beyond. Sit and think, write a paper, start a novel, or go for a walk in the so many different paths that someone can take. Going inside this 280 sqm villa there is a great-hall-sized living with spectacular views of inland Crete, a dining and kitchen area, and a 20sqm balcony. Then still on the ground floor, a unique modern stone and wood-inspired bathroom. Opposite you will find one of the bedrooms and up the open wood stairs to a gallery corridor leading into the other 2 bedrooms and one smaller bathroom. There is no air conditioning in the living room but only in the bedrooms, as Villa Limeri's 420 m altitude and well-angled position keep things cool. Or If you want to be a bit more cool, you can head down to the swimming pool. The name "Limeri", for your interest and perhaps descriptive of its qualities means a "haunt" or "refuge" and for others means a retreat', or 'lair' (as in pirate's or fox's lair) in GreekOther Facilities are: fireplace, central heating, mini HiFi, flat screen TV, DVD player, High-speed internet connection and a fully equipped kitchen with gas, a dishwasher, fridge, and washing machine. Mountain biking and hiking or if you are a bird-watching enthusiast, bring your binoculars as Villa Limeri's position/location is ideal for this kind of sport!
Important notice: The villa is not suitable for kids under 12 years old.

About the host

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).

All the best,
Manos Dafermos
