We’ve just returned from a week-long stay at Villa Daphne with friends - there were 5 adults and 3 teenagers in our group. Everything about the experience was fantastic. The house is luxurious and spacious with 5 good-sized bedrooms, two on the main floor and 3 on the lower floor. All rooms have air conditioning units. The furniture and soft furnishings are all of a good quality and well considered. The main kitchen has all the appliances and cooking/dining items we needed. There is an American style fridge freezer in the main kitchen and a second small kitchen on the lower floor with another fridge - great for keeping extra drinks cool. The outside area of the house is beautifully presented with lots of different seating areas and the most amazing views. We enjoyed watching the spectacular sunsets each evening. There is air hockey, Fußball (table football) and table tennis which kept everyone entertained. The swimming pool is well-maintained and as inviting as it looks in the photos. There is even a water fountain for extra fun for the kids. We didn’t use the indoor pool but it’s a great extra to have and imagine it would be nice in colder months to have the option of using it in the evening. The service was excellent - the owner and his team were so attentive, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We only wish we could have stayed longer and can’t wait to go back again. We recommend this villa to families and groups looking for a luxury self-catering holiday in a quiet part of Crete (close to the amenities of Rethymno). A rental car is ideally needed to get around.
