We stayed at Daphnis Villas from July 19th - August 2nd 2014 and enjoyed a great holiday! Four spacious villas share a common pool, which is huge and provides a separated area for smaller children. The villas are well designed and equipped and cleaned daily - which was great for us, traveling with four kids. First we were a little concerned about not having our "own" house and pool, but due to the clever layout of the ensemble, privacy is met combined with the opportunity to interact with other guests if wanted. We loved the "outdoor" living; had breakfast and other meals at our outdoor dining corner in the shade. My personal favorite were the sun loungers, made of wood and completed with thick matting.
The Village Pirgos Psilonerou is close to Chania, said to be the most beautiful city of Crete. Great to spend an evening out - Maria recommended a fabulous restaurant. Regarding beaches: there is a "home" beach approximately 200 m away, which is nice - if you don't mind driving you'll get to beautiful Falassarna or Balos Beach - also recommended by Maria. Large supermarket in three minutes drive.
We really had a lovely stay - Maria and her husband were caring hosts; around when you needed them and very helpful. We felt more than welcome and will be happy to come back!
