Villa Iris is located at the village of Tavronitis and it is 30 km west of Chania. Tourism interest is pretty low and the village retains an authentic ambience with very friendly shopkeepers, delighted to have the opportunity to practice their English, to have the chance to hear about other people`s life style or tell about their own. In the village of Tavronitis you will find a couple of convenient mini-markets, there`s a butcher bakery and a patisserie. If you go down by the sea there are 3-4 tavern`s along the pebbly shore line which stretches almost 10 km around the bay to Kolymbari, known for its harbor side fish taverns.

A car is recommended for your transportation. We can organize a transfer in order to come to the villa and the day after rental cars can be delivered at the property (extra charge).

Fabulous villa for the family

Really lovely villa which was clean and had plenty of space for a family. Manolis was a grat manager and helped us whenever needed. We also had some fruit and other food on our arrival which was really helpful after our flight. The villa is on a hillside so a car is necessary but once we figured out how the villages were placed and what amenities were where it was easy to navigate around. Definitely recommend.

A magical stay in Crete

Upon renting Villa Iris, I kept thinking that this property could not possibly be as beautiful as the pictures suggest. I was very wrong — it is even more gorgeous and well-kept. Everything about our stay was magical. The manager was kind, patient and very responsive. The views — to die for! Bedrooms were comfortable and the house was very clean. The garden was filled with many fragrant flowers in bloom which attracted hundreds of butterflies. Our family of 4 adults and 4 children had a wonderful time. We can’t wait to return! Thank you so much for renting Villa Iris to us!

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
