Awesome stay
We had a wonderful stay at this house. Everyone was overwhelmed by the size of the house, we did not expect this much space for our own. It was very private with an awesome view of the sea. The pool was good and family friendly. Housekeeping was on a regular basis and very very tidy and clean. There is a daily service for the pool and the flowers/trees. Restaurants, Supermarkets and Beaches are in the reach of 5-15 Minutes. Even a important sight of Crete is in reach of 15 Minutes up the road. Over all the stay was good and Menios did a great job for being our host. Our questions got answered in no time.

Ein tolles Haus für einen Familienurlaub
Die Villa ist super. Der Eigentümer war sehr nett und sehr bemüht. Menios war super nett und hat uns bei allen fragen geholfen. Die Villa hat eine super Lage und wir hatten einen tollen Familienurlaub. Die Villa ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen dennoch fehlt es ihr an nichts. Man könnte mit einer kleinen Investition einiges verschönern. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Urlaub.

Beautiful Villa Laga
If you are a large party, and you want to be away from the crowds, this Villa is Ideal. we were 3 families of 6 adults and 3 children and each family had its own apartment, but lots of communal areas to all get together. The pool and BBQ area are perfect and because of this it was not an issue to be a little way away from the towns and beaches. we had a super family time in this peaceful place, where the children could make as much noise as they liked! we loved it. Also the owner and the agent could not have been more helpful. Sue. August 2019

Family Holiday at a fantastic villa
What can I say? The Villa was fabulous - ideal for a family of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids). The Villa was absolutely massive and had plenty of space for all of us. The pool was lovely, the BBQ area was great for a social meal or BBQ (and a game of cards). Location wise the Villa was about 9-10km north of the town of Rethymnon which was far enough away to feel you are very secluded but close enough to reach the big super markets. The Villa owner visited everyday and was very friendly. Menios was absolutely superb and helped us organise some fabulous day trips (private boat trip, Baja Beach club day etc). Overall, we couldn’t fault the Villa or service. We would visit again and would highly recommend.

Lovely villa
We were 7 adults and 6 children and the house never felt crowded. A tip is to have rental cars when you live in the house. About 5 km to Lidl and the beach. We used our cars and visited other beaches in the morning and afternoon, and in the evening we hang out by the beautiful pool area. We cooked dinner every evening in the house and the outdoor barbecue beside the pool is very nice. The pictures from the house does reflect the actual status, actually maybe the house is a little bit better. The service we got from Dimitra, Manos & Menios at Cretevillas4u and Mr Nikos the owner were phenomenal. Quick answers when you needed help and a very nice and warm welcome. Wifi worked perfectly, bedrooms with nice aircondition. We can only recommend this house!! The only thing that was missing was maybe som kitchen utilities (Sharp knives, wine glasses etc). But it was not something that disturbed us so much during our stay. //Jonas with families

Lovely villa, great bbq and pool, perfect location
We had a lovely stay at Villa Laga. There were two families of five (6 children) and the accommodation was ideal. Easy to spend all day lazing by the pool and having a nice bbq or handy base to explore Crete. Rethymno only a 25 minute drive down the hillside for great shops and restaurants. Highly recommended!

Great stay!
Our family spent almost a week at this wonderful property. The villa is spacious, clean and well maintained. It could use some updates and additional kitchen ware if you plan on cooking. It is.located in a quiet and peaceful area. The pool area is wonderful and provided a great area to relax. The owner was very nice. Manos the manager was fantastic!!! He responded immediately to every question or request. He provided valuable recommendations for sights and food. Thank you both for a great and memorable vacation in your beautiful country and villa!

Great relaxing family stay
Lovely stay for 6 adults and 3 young children in villa laga. Everything in the villa was as good or better than we expected. Everything clean on arrival and swimming pool was pristine throughout. Great spread of food and a full fridge met us on arrival, as well as a shot of raki! House was in a great state of repair with nice furniture and well equipped kitchens. Nikos (owner) popped by every day to water plants and do light maintenance, always saying a cheery hello, good or no problem (amazing how you can hold a conversation with so few words of English!) Cleaning was done on Thursday. We tried both taverna faragi and taverna hovoli, both worth a visit! It was great being able to make as much noise as we wanted and know that we wouldn’t disturb our neighbours (or vice versa!)

Great spacious villa with welcoming and helpful staff
We, a party of 11 family and friends, had a wonderful time at this lovely villa. It is really spacious and could easily fit more than 11 if you're willing to share rooms - equally a group made up of 2 or 3 small families could easily have a holiday where they were able to enjoy private space. The house is almost made up of several apartments with their own kitchens, bathrooms and living areas as well as the bedrooms. There is also great communal space out by the large pool and the barbecue and outdoor dining area are wonderful. Throughout the stay the owner and agent were extremely friendly and helpful, on hand whenever we needed them to give recommendations and answer any questions. The welcome hamper of food and drinks when we arrived was a lovely touch. The owner even came every day early in the morning to personally clean the pool and even tidied up the outdoor eating area if we had left any mess from the night before. The villa was also cleaned part way through our week's stay which was great. There is a lovely taverna within walking distance which we made frequent use of and other really nice one a very short drive away. Good nearby shops provided everything we needed and we ate in on the barbecue quite a few nights. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year. No complaints at all, except maybe that the wifi isn't very good, not strong enough to download films/tv shows on catch up and checking email takes a long time so if you were looking to work while on holiday it might be a little annoying. Apart from this everything was perfect!

A wonderful stay!
A wonderful stay! We would like to thank Manos (rental company) and Nikolaos (the landlord) for being so kind to us. From the very beginning (negotiation of rental conditions) to the end (our stay in Kiriannah/"touristic" advices + departure), they really did everything to make us have a very pleasant and comfortable stay, exactly in the same vein as the Greek people are in the everyday life! The house was exactly as on the pictures: clean, modern and spacious! This is a very quiet location, far away from the noisy coast, far away from all other tourists! We spend 2 weeks there and were 11 people and really enjoyed to have 1 floor for the adults and 2 other floors for our teenagers (1 for the girls and another one for the boys)! so that everyone could have his/her own life without disturbing the others' life/rest, whereas the outdoor area + kitchen close to the wonderful swimming pool was just the very best place to gather everybody for lunch and dinner times.....or to play in the swimming pool, with lots of music for our teeanagers, without disturbing the non-existing neighbourhood! Also appreciated was the great view over the countryside and the sea....as well as the proximity of 2 very good and cheap tavernas with local products and meals: Hovoli and Faragi! Shops and a Lidl supermarket are a 10 minutes drive away. I must also mention that we were very impressed with all advices given by Manos on a mere "touristic" point of view, prior to arriving, about shops, bars, restaurants and touristic spots. Also greatly appreciated was Manos' responsiveness, so that we really had the impression that even something could happen, Manos would take care of it! I'd definitely recommend this villa to large groups...to have fun...but also enough space to have rest too! Beaches are nearly 10km away, but we really enjoyed the pool! And we would love to come back! Thanks to Manos and Nikolaos...and in general to all the Greek people!

Just Wonderful!
We (9 people) spent a wonderful week in this spaciousv villa. Every room is very comfortable and has its bathroom right next to it. You find everything you need in the house (also towels, linen , toiletpaper...) and also the kitchen is well equiped. In a huge garage there is space for your car (s). Especially we`d like to mention the extremly friendliness of the housekeeper and the owner, who will provide you with a lot of advices for your stay. We found a bowl with fresh fruits and cold drinks in the fridge as we arrived! The villa is very clean and will be cleaned also during the week. What a service! During the day we relaxed in the deckchairs at the lovely pool and in the evening we loved to sit in the poolhouse, where we did Barbecue and campfire. Just a few minutes walk away you find a nice Taverne, further on down hill there is a bakery. The way is not long to Rethymnon and very nice beaches. Last but not least we like to mention that the villa has a roof terrace with a great view to the sea, the sunset or the mountains. We just can recommend the villa! And we recommend holidays in lovely Crete!

About the host

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,
