About the host
Hosted by Filippos
Hello!
My name is Filippos and I am here to make sure you have a pleasant and enjoyable stay at Oros Residence! Here is a short bio that will help you to get to know me a bit better.
I studied Audio Engineering in London, then moved back in Athens where i continued my studies in Cinematography. In my spare time i compose various styles of Electronic music. Music and the visual arts are things i enjoy doing very much, but my main focus and passion has moved towards the little villa located in Oros, Rethymno.
The last few years I have been living and working in Rethymno. My love for Crete and the small village of Oros kept making me return as often as I could to this special place, to the point where I decided to share it with the rest of the world! I have been the project manager for the interior and exterior renovation. Hosting has brought me close to meeting amazing new people that i didn't know existed. I'm aiming to welcome you to a friendly and functional environment and want to share with you the best side of Crete.

Why they chose this property
Oros residence is a magical place were time tends to slow down. I've spend all my teenage summers here growing up in this special house. I decided to open up the house to guest and for that we had to renovate it in 2016 and update it to have a more modern look and feel. Despite this the property has kept it's magic sent and tranquility and all people who have visited this place get to recharge with vital energy, relax and calm down.
What makes this property unique
The balcony looking at the pool is a fantastic place for having your breakfast or diner looking at the mountains of Lefka Ori while the sun sets down.
