Summary: The villa is as described and was perfect for our stay 6 girls. The out door area is superb and everywhere is really clean. The sunbeds are amazing !! If you want to visit a few places I would advise a car as the taxis can be a bit pricey. However the taxi company are super reliable and friendly we were given the number on arrival by the villa host. The supermarket is a 5 minute walk note villa is on a steep hill. The communication with the villa host is fantastic every questions was answered within an hour or less and was always friendly and accommodating. I would really recommend this villa if you are after a relaxing holiday and a quiet peaceful stay as there is not lots to do which was what we were after. The beach is 20 minutes by car and is really nice Evita beach is gorgeous. The host recommended a food delivery which was supported local women in business and it was excellent in fact it lasted us 2 nights worth doing. We really had a fantastic holiday thank you Vicky and all the girls.

Summary: The property is absolutely stunning, just as described - if not better! Myself and a group of friends visited for my birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The communication from the host was so thorough and we were able to book various special events through the company too which made it a truly very special trip. We already want to return!

Summary: Lovely host; very very helpful. Very clean villa and as described, however the surrounding area was not as per the description. I would suggest the villa is car essential.

Summary: From the moment we booked this villa to the moment we left we have had everything sorted for us, Valia is just wonderful helping us out with any queries we had. She put us in contact with George our airport transfer and pretty much chauffeur and guide for the week! When we arrived at the villa we were greeted by the lovely owner and her son to welcome us and make sure we were happy with everything, which of course we were! A lovely little hamper was waiting for us with water and fruit juices in the fridge too. The villa itself is just beautiful, we were just blown away with everything especially the outside area. The only thing that we would say that is a very small negative is its location but you wouldn't get such a stunning villa if you were in the town. It was a little walk into the town where there were 2 restaurants worth a visit and a couple of supermarkets but a bit of a hard walk back up the hill. We would definitely use this villa again and highly recommend it....perfect!

Summary: From walking through the door with a very welcome greeting this Villa has the wow factor. What hits you as you walk in is the cleanliness, not a finger or footprint anywhere, not a spec of dust. The new kitchen is huge with crockery utensils and appliances a plenty, a huge kitchen table. The bedrooms are enormous. 2 doors lead to the ground floor bedrooms that have single beds and the en-suite there is then an open staircase to the enormous double bedroom. I'd say its for families as nipping to the loo during the night from upstairs means walking through the room with the single beds in both cases. The upstairs bedrooms lead to a gorgeous terrace where you can star gaze and watch sunrise and sunsets. We ate up there a few times The outdoor areas - wowzer! BBQ area with table tennis and another large table with a bench and chairs, grassed area, pool area with plenty of new sunbeds and 2 swinging large chairs its relaxing to sit in watching the world go by and there's shade all day there which is welcome Its the little things too that made it for us, toilet roll for the week, washing up liquid, shower gel, shampoo, a very generous welcome pack, bin liners, kitchen roll, hand sanitizer etc (I could go on). Also all the spare towels and bedding and in a vacuum sealed bag for hygiene. There was no extra charge for aircon which is in every room which is rare. Big thanks to Valia for such a warm welcome from our first enquiry and for checking on us 3-4 times during the week without being intrusive. Such a lovely lady and much appreciated. Do not hesitate to book here there's lots to explore around it and there's a wonderful local taxi man a few doors down Giorgos Sopasou with a wealth of knowledge. 30 Euros to Rethmynon was well worth it between the 4 of us or 10 euros to Panormas which is only 5-10 mins away and a lovely little place.

Summary: Stunning villa. Amazing attention to detail, in the decor, the really thoughtful supplies of everything u could need. Even the potted herbs beside the bbq area! Fab air con which we needed, pool cleaned very frequently, cleaning mid week and fresh sheets and towels every few days a real treat. Valia was so helpful and responsive, a major reassurance when away from home. Lovely warm welcome from the owner and a very generous welcome hamper. Only wish we found the fish shop earlier to cook more bbqs as the supermarkets only have frozen fish. He is just off the main street in Perama and has great English.

Summary: We spent with 8 people (2 families), a wonderful stay in the villa Kalypso. Everything was exactly as described. We did not miss anything. The welcome pack was very extensive and generous. The reception by Mr. Yiannis jr was very warm. Mr Yiannis also came by again. Very sympathetic, warm and helpful people. We felt very comfortable. The contact with Valia was also very, very good. We were just completely worried. 2 times a week the villa was cleaned and daily the pool boy came. That was a great service. Arrive and feel good ... YOU have all made it together. Thanks alot!!! We would definitely recommend the villa to 100%. Maybe we'll come by myself again ;-)

Summary: We spend 12 days in this house with our 3 year old son. The pool is not suitable for small Kids, but there was a Baby Pool, life jacket and lots of toys for playing at the beach. Our son loved it. The kitchen had everything you could ever need. The 4 bed rooms are connected via stairs. This might not always be good for a bigger Group. For our group of 3 it was no issue. The location was good to Visit Rethymno, Knossos, Arkadi, Bali beach and some gorges. There was also a playground and a Great bbq Restaurant in walking distance. It had great food for a really good Price. The only negative points I can think of are the neighbours which were sometimes really noisy until the morning hours. But there was AC so closing the windows was OK. There were also some mosquitos, but this is of course not related to the house. The owner was very helpful and even offered a huge welcome basket with food and snacks. We can highly recommend this house and would love to come back.

Summary: We really loved our stay in this beautiful spacious home and would recommend it. We were really impressed by facilities and design. Like others have mentioned could do with some smaller cooking pans and the layout is a bit unusual, whereby you access the upstairs bedrooms through the downstairs bedrooms. Perhaps would be nice to offer privacy screens for the occupants of the downstairs bedrooms. The local village has a few good restaurants, a great bakery selling amazing cakes and ice cream. The supermarket in the centre of the village is bigger than the one on the edge. Lovely bars and restaurants in nearby Melidoni and Panormos.

Summary: Villa Dafni exceeded our expectations. The villa itself is just as beautiful and clean as it looks in the photographs. We are a family of 5 and had way more space than we needed. In my opinion this villa is perfect for two families of 4/5 due to the layout of bedrooms and bathrooms. The upstairs bedrooms are huge and both lead out onto a large veranda equipped with outdoor furniture, a lovely place to have a morning coffee or a drink at sunset. The large kitchen is very well equipped. Airconditioning and wifi worked perfectly throughout the entire house. The outdoor area was by far the highlight for us. The pool was exceptionally clean and the whole space was beautifully laid out and maintained. There were 8 very comfortable sunbeds and a large umbrella aswell as a table and chairs and barbecue area. The outdoor area is not overlooked and provides beautiful views of the surrounding areas. A car is a must as only the town of Perama is within walking distance but there are a number of lovely beaches within a short drive. During our stay we visited Heraklion, Knossos, Rethymno and the beaches at Plakias, Bali and Panormos, loved it all. Communication with Valia was fantastic before and throughout our stay. She went above and beyond in ensuring all was well. The welcome pack was exceptional! The house was cleaned once during our week long stay. We had a problem with the washing machine and were delighted when it was replaced within a couple of days, thank you Valia! Would highly recommend this villa.
