"Excellent stay for three families and grandparents. Three small apartments on ground floor (one double bedone single bed per appartment, one also with sofa bed). Two doubles and two singles on first floor. All rooms with air condition.The small (rocky) beach right below the house has amazingly clear waters, and the pool was great for our kids (7-11 years.). Only 100m to a great taverna (Mimi’s). Also near a really nice sandy beach with a beach bar/restaurant.From first floor, the ocean view is amazing, and we ate on the terrass several nights, at sunset. And the garden is beautifully kept.Only a few and minor ”complaints”. The family kitchen on the first floor is on the smaller side, and there is no fridge next to bbq area (a bit of a hassle to run up and down to fetch cold beverages). Also you need a car to get to a grocery store. But overall a wonderful stay, including hospitality from Petros and Katerina, and the two very cute ”house” cats (loved by the kids). "

"We had the most wonderful two weeks staying at Villa Danna. The accommodation was perfect and immaculate. The family were all on hand to assist with anything we needed and insisted on re-cleaning the house and emptying and re-filling the pool after a freak Saharan dust storm. We had three animal loving kids with us, who were thrilled that the family dog was nearby (a short walk across through the olive trees) for strokes and cuddles, and Rosie the cat was often asleep in the shade somewhere. We loved the pool, the eating areas, the upstairs balcony with incredible views of the sunset and the table tennis table got plenty of use too. It was a good walk uphill to the nearest taverna or shop, which was fine for the younger members of the party but tricky for anyone with mobility issues. It was a short drive into Rethymno to lots of bars and restaurants. We would definitely stay there again, after a wonderful two weeks of relaxation and sunshine. "

"Fantastic location on the sea front. Sylvie and Kanakis were the perfect hosts, friendly, helpful and exceptional throughout our week."

"Comfortable, clean villa. Had a lovely week here in October 2024. Good location, 10 minutes to Rethymno and walkable to local tavernas. Centrally located for visiting different sites and beaches. Alexandra cooked lunch for arrival which was appreciated. Recommend this place for dinner Giannakis traditional taverna in Prines"

"We just came back from our amazing stay at Villa Diana. We didn’t want to leave..everything about our vacation at the villa was top notch. Myron meant us at the Villa the night we got there and showed us around.( we appreciated that so much)..We knew when we got there that we picked the perfect place for our vacation. We just kept looking around in awe at how beautiful everything was. He also left us eggs, meat, cheese, bread, fruit, olive oil etc. That was such a nice surprise and very much appreciated. When we woke the next morning and the sun was out..we couldn’t believe the views ..full sea and Mountain views. Simply breathtaking 😍. We were a family of 5 and all had our own room and bathroom with another room and bathroom to spare. The elevator to our bedroom was so handy too. The outside area was like a resort.. Beautiful pool, hot tub, gym, ping pong table and an outdoor kitchen. The nights we were home we used the outdoor kitchen and ate outside surrounded by all the beauty. The location was perfect …so quiet and peaceful. Myron and his parents were amazing hosts and went above and beyond making sure everything was perfect. Bringing us extra oil and always being available if we needed to know anything. We hope to return. Thanks again Myron to you and your family for everything… was the best vacation ever…from all of us. 🤗😎"

"We stayed at Villa Fouli for three weeks in July/August. The hosts were very accommodating, friendly and kept the place very clean. Location was just a bit further out than I had expected but accommodations great. I would definitely recommend! My son really enjoyed the pool also very clean. Just a short 15 minute drive o Rethymno. "

"Great location and facilities. Everything is there and available. Mr Kostas is a great host (bringing ice Crean’s fur the kids). Wonderful for families and especially kids. Can absolutely recommend. "

"We are an extended family party of 8. The property is spacious, well equipped and very clean. The facilities are excellent with all amenities and equipment needed. The pool are in particular is really lovely and the children loved the slide into the pool, basketball net, table tennis table and table football. There are plenty of sunbeds and lots of options for shade. We were met on arrival and the owners are extremely attentive throughout with fruit and a delicious home made Pastiitsio waiting for us together with fruit. On two other occasions some lovely food was prepared for us. Within walking distance is Christos, a great local taverner with great food very reasonably priced. 8 of us ate there , with drinks for around 120 euros all in. The local bakery is great and both deliver free if needed. We had a car, which is definitely needed and ventured out to sight seeing and beaches frequently, although you could just as easily stay around the pool. The separate outdoor kitchen and dining area is great. if we had one observation it would be to perhaps include a standard cooker/hob too complement the BBQ and wood over, but that did. nit detract from our stay at all. Would definitely recommend."

"We had a wonderful ten day stay here, it is a uniquely beautiful place and we would love to come back in the future. The pool is absolutely beautiful with stunning views over the mountains. The living areas are exceptionally clean and renovated to a high standard while respecting the history of the building. It is beautifully preserved and very comfortable. The rubber tree in the courtyard gives shade during the day and is lovely to sit under to eat / play games. The two bedrooms are split across the courtyard and this was perfect for us as a family with teenage children, everyone had their space. The village is authentic Crete and there are plenty of places to eat in the mountains or down along the seafront. Beaches are also in easy reach as well as the lake where the terapins were a hit with our children. Didier is a respectful and friendly host, on hand for any questions or advice on the area but very unobtrusive. His cats and 2 dogs are very well behaved and nice to have around. We visited 6 beaches during our stay, all beautiful and great for snorkeling. It was a perfect break, really sad to leave! "
