The villa fully corresponded to the pictures and description. We had a great time. The scenery was wonderful both for the mountains and the sea. The villa was well equipped, the bedrooms were air-conditioned and the pool area was wonderful for spending time together. A wonderful place to relax and spend a holiday. We recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Stay at Villa Eros!
We had an unforgettable time at Villa Eros! The house is stunning – spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The pool was a dream, and the sea view was simply breathtaking – especially at sunset!
What made our stay even more special was the warm hospitality of the owner. Despite our very late and unplanned arrival at 2 a.m., she welcomed us with a smile and made sure we were settled in comfortably. That level of kindness and dedication is rare and truly appreciated.
Villa Eros is the perfect place to relax and recharge – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to come back!
Tak for din dejlige anmeldelse, Mikael. Vi håber at byde dig velkommen tilbage snart! Med venlig hilsen, Cretevillas4u-teamet
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
