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). All the best, Manos Dafermos

Liodosifis Mansion is a fully renovated, traditional villa located in the village Paidohori, close to Georgioupoli. It has been built amphitheatrically at the foot of the White Mountains of Crete, at an altitude of 270 meters and this gives visitors the opportunity to have 360 degree panoramic views. In an effort to capitalize on the favorable amphitheatrical position of Liondosifis Mansion, a great attention has been paid to shaping the exterior space. It consists of three verandas, one on the ground floor, the other on the top of the open-plan lounge building and the third is very high above the first building. The ground floor terrace offers BBQ facilities, a large monastery table, a swimming pool with jacuzzi. The pool is equipped with sun loungers while there is a stylish fountain, offering moments of relaxation under the sound of running water. It can be heated at an additional cost of 40 Euros per day.

The lush and fertile location of Liodosifis Mansion is rich in olive groves and vineyards. This magical location offers tranquility and serenity, prompting guests to take a walk while listening to the sounds of birds, sheep and goats that roam freely. Paidohori village is the ideal place for escapes as it is at a close distance of Georgioupolis, Kalyves, Ancient Aptera, Lake Kournas and Almyrida. A car is necessary for your transportation. We can also organize a transfer in order to come to the villa and the day after rental cars can be delivered at the property (extra charge).
