Der Gastgeber Manos war jederzeit per Mail und whatts App erreichbar, bei Fragen oder Tipps. Vor Ort war dann auch Giorgos. Sehr unkomplizierter, angenehmer Austausch. Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage in Plakias und die Bilder entsprechen absolut dem, was man vor Ort auch vorfindet.Bei der Ausstattung hat es an nichts gemangelt.

Schöne, große Unterkunft in toller Lage und umfangreicher Ausstattung

Wir hatten einen rundum schönen Aufenthalt. Das Haus ist sehr groß mit vielen Zimmern, großen Betten, einer sehr gut ausgestatteten Küche und einer Vielzahl an Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten. Schöner, gemütlicher Außenbereich mit Pool und tollem Ausblick. Lage ist auch top.

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
