Die einzelnen Häuser (insgesamt 3 Stück) waren tadellos gereinigt und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Der Pool wurde täglich gereinigt und die Handtücher und Bettlaken ingesamt 2 mal nach vorheriger Absprache ausgewechselt. Ein Auto wird dringend benötigt um die Umgebung zu erkunden. Ein Willkommens -Korb mit Regionalen Produkten stand am ersten Tag bereit. Wir kommen bestimmt noch einmal! Wärmstes zu empfehlen ist auch der im Ort ansässig „Butcher-Shop“. Hier gibt es echt gutes und hochwertiges Fleisch für sehr gutes Geld. Dies haben wir mehr als einmal an dem Grill im Poolbereich zubereitet. Großes Lob auch an den Betreuer der Villa, der sich immer Zeit für uns genommen hat und alle Fragen kompetent beantworten konnte. ##### Sven H. Stayed 10 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob E. 20 Aug 2018 #### Exactly as described and very clean. A lovely set of 3 separate houses which are perfect for giving families with older children their own privacy. Couldn't fault the cleaning regime, towels, linen, mopping etc twice a week. You do need a car though and I wouldn't advise arriving late at night due to finding it. A handy tip is to enter the name of the larger villa near it into Google maps, Villa Elaida when in the town. Good BBQ area and pool chemicals checked on a regular basis. Would definitely return to the villa. ##### Rob E.

The villa looks exactly like the photos. It’s stunning. Unfortunately it’s near a noisy road and unattractive town (Perama), nearby dogs bark all night long, every night. We all needed to buy ear plugs to sleep. The nearest nice beach is 25 mins drive and to eat out you need to drive 30 mins to Rethymno, which is a gorgeous town. To drive to the dreamy, white sand beaches, they are between 1 hour 30 - 2 hours 30 away depending on which ones you visit. The villa is super premium but bring your own hairdryer. The ones in the bathroom aren’t powerful or hot. We had an amazing time but we spent way too much time in the car for a holiday. ##### Kate O.

Der Empfang war herzlich und wir wurden von einem Geschenkkorb mit einheimischen Produkten überrascht. Die Häuser sind bis auf Kleinigkeiten( Tablett) super ausgestattet. Der Außenbereich wurde täglich gereinigt und bei Problemen war sofort Hilfe vor Ort. Der Ort Perama ist zum Einkaufen von Lebensmitteln ok aber außer einer ungemütlichen Pizzeria (Bringedienst klappt gut!! ) und 2 Konditoreien mit leckeren Kuchen und Eis gibt es nichts. Ein Auto ist zwingend erforderlich. Wir hatten mit 3 Paaren 2 Autos. So waren wir unabhängig oder auch gemeinsam unterwegs um die wunderschöne Insel zu erkunden oder mal einen Strandtag zu machen. Villa Dafni ist sehr empfehlenswert!!! ##### Elisabeth S.

As we went during the pandemic it was perfect to have our own pool and villa. The hosts were very informative and on hand whenever needed. The villas were beautiful and the barbecue seating areas were perfect. We did need a car for grocery shopping and we did visit the local tavernas. Will definitely return, thank you. ##### Claire M.

Wir haben als Familie einen tollen Urlaub verbracht und können Griechenland und seine Menschen nur weiterempfehlen. ##### Jörg L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie G. 22 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Fabulous villa with beautiful pool! Loved our stay at Villa Dafni. The separate accommodation with lots of space for us to also be together was perfect for us. Communication was smooth and efficient, the whole team were very friendly and helpful and the welcome pack blew us away! The beds are large and comfy with nice sheets which were changed midweek and there is lots of outdoor furniture from comfy sunlougers to furnished balconies and an incredible pool which we loved. The villa is secluded and tucked away on a hill overlooking a very local village which is a bit down at heel but the bar next to the great bakery and supermarket down at the bottom was excellent, the food very good and the service top notch. The benefits were that it was quiet and non-touristy yet a 20 minute drive from pretty beaches at Bali and half an hour from Rethymno. We all had a wonderful time, thank you so much. ##### Natalie G.

Die ganze Anlage sieht exakt so wunder schön aus wie auf den Bildern. Die Häuser ist sind innen wie außen typisch für Kreta, und sehr gemütlich. An der Ausstattung hat nichts gefehlt. Alles ist super sauber und die Außenanlage um den Pool wird täglich gereinigt. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und das check-in unkompliziert. In jedem der Häuser befand sich ein liebevolles, reichhaltiges Geschenkkörbchen mit sehr leckeren lokalen Produkten. Wasser, Milch, Saft und eine Flasche Wein für den ersten Abend waren auch kostenlos vorhanden. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Perama, u.a. eine sehr gute Bäckerei, sind zu Fuß in 15 Minuten erreichbar, mit dem Auto unter 5 Minuten. Zum Strand nach Panormo sind es mit dem Auto maximal 20 Minuten, insgesamt ist ein Mietwagen aber sehr empfehlenswert. Auch um die tolle Umgebung leichter erkunden zu können. Der Service von Think Villa, v.a. Valia, ist perfekt. Jede Mail wurde umgehend beantwortet und war sehr informativ und aufschlussreich. Ein rundherum wunderschönes Objekt, das die beste Bewertung mehr als verdient. Wir haben sicherlich nicht zum letzten mal dort Urlaub gemacht. ##### Harald G.

From the email support before we arrived through to the regular linen changes the carers for this complex are exceptionally good at looking after their guests. All the villas were presented beautifully and the pool and outside cooking and eating area is fantastic. The villa is situated in a small village which has everything you need and is just a short 10minute drive away from the lovely beach town of Panormo. We would highly recommended this villa and the location for larger families who are travelling together but also need their own living spaces. ##### Victoria H. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Sophie C. 24 May 2019 #### Lovely stay Beautiful pool area, and outside eating areas. Great shaded areas which are good for children etc. Fantastic BBQ. Very close to Perama, walking distance to shops. Perama is a little run down and not many nice restaurants but plenty of well stocked supermarkets. Villa's need updating; limited range of kitchen equipment. Overall we had a lovely time, and the layout of the properties is perfect for big families so they can have space and privacy as well as being together. ##### Sophie C.

Split into three separate self contained houses with a fantastic outdoor cooking and dining area next to the pool, this was perfect for our extended family holiday. Frequent cleaning and linen change was included. We couldn't fault the accommodation. A car is necessary. There are a couple of good restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance but in general the local high street is a bit run down. Within a short drive are some lovely villages and beaches so there is plenty to see and do. Check out the reptile place which is not far by car. The guy who owns this knows his stuff and you get to hold snakes and lizards. The local olive factory is also worth a visit. ##### Beverley C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Sept 2018 #### Wonderful villa with fantastic pool and outside areas The villa was wonderful, had everything you would need. Each of the houses had a lovely welcome basket on arrival. It is a 5 minute walk in to town where there are a couple of nice tavernas serving good food. It was a perfect relaxing holiday and I would definitely recommend the villa to everyone. We hope to return ourselves one day’ ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary P. 5 Aug 2018 #### Perfect Greek holiday base! Friendly, helpful owner & lovely staff. Good to be welcomed with wine, fruit & olives and the apartments were well furnished & generously stocked - nice not to have to buy loo rolls, washing stuff etc.The 3 apartments worked perfectly for the multi- generation family & we could eat together by the pool or on the terrace surrounded by the beautiful flowers & herbs. The town had everything we needed - fishmongers, bakery, greengrocers & a choice of supermarkets & places to grab a drink or meal. We appreciated the air-conditioning and pool when we got back from exploring the island - the swimmers made the most of snorkeling in the clear waters. We'd love to come back to see the area in spring or autumn. Thoroughly recommended! ##### Mary P.

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen P. 18 Jun 2018 #### A beautiful villa, perfect for 3 couples sharing We had a fabulous time in Crete, staying at Villa Dafni. The set up was ideal for us as a family with 2 grown up daughters and their boyfriends. We were able to be together but with our own space. Each villa was well equipped but the real bonus was the pool and barbeque area which is where we spent most of our time. We hired a car which was essential but found that there were plenty of beaches within half an hours drive on the north coast. The south coast was a little further but was well worth it. The drive over the mountains was spectacular and the beaches stunning with plenty of tavernas to take refuge in. All in all this was an amazing holiday. Thanks to Valia and to Yiannis and Maria for making our stay so comfortable. ##### Helen P. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Akasha Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Akasha-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h42396603.Hotel-Information) > > [Troulis Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Troulis-Aparthotel.h12475411.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Senses Resort & Spa Crete, Curio Collection Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-The-Royal-Senses-Resort-Spa-Crete.h42627090.Hotel-Information) > > [Bali Mare Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Bali-Mare-Village.h9613588.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Royal Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Royal-Mare.h1181666.Hotel-Information) > > [Filion Suites Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Filion-Suites-Resort-Spa.h4016849.Hotel-Information) > > [The Island - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-The-Island-Adults-Only.h1789428.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Domes-Of-Elounda.h2497819.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Creta Marine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Creta-Marine.h2893774.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Bali Paradise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Bali-Paradise-Hotel.h6057315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bali Beach Hotel & Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Bali-Beach-Hotel-Village.h7273315.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Imperial Beach Resort Milatos Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Beach-Resort-Milatos.h660214.Hotel-Information) > > [Acro Wellness Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Acro-Wellness-Suites-Adults-Only.h42005805.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Royal-Imperial-Belvedere-Hotels.h1191451.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Selection Laguna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Laguna-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h4260878.Hotel-Information) > > [Senseana Sea Side Resort & Aquadventure - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Club-Marmara-Golden-Star.h4886851.Hotel-Information) > > [Euphoria Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Platanias-Hotels-Euphoria-Resort-All-Inclusive.h21337972.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Grecotel-Marine-Palace-Aqua-Park.h3444165.Hotel-Information) > > [Rimondi Grand Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Rimondi-Grand-Resort-Spa.h4925255.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Creta Panorama & Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Iberostar-Creta-Panorama-Mare.h2876532.Hotel-Information) > > [Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Creta-Maris-Resort-All-Inclusive.h541819.Hotel-Information) > > [Leptos Panorama Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Panorama.h691965.Hotel-Information) > > [NEMA Design Hotel & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-NEMA-Design-Hotel-Spa.h12376062.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Atlantica-Kalliston-Resort-Adults-Only.h1627449.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Tui-Blue-Elounda-Village-Resort-Spa-By-Aquila.h1119002.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Blue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-The-Royal-Blue.h5377734.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantica Caldera Palace - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Atlantica-Caldera-Palace-All-Inclusive.h35181792.Hotel-Information) > > [Lyttos Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Lyttos-Mare.h60611378.Hotel-Information) > > [Atali Grand Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Atali-Grand-All-Inclusive-Resort.h40068737.Hotel-Information) > > [Lyttos Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Lyttos-Beach-All-Inclusive.h8077194.Hotel-Information)
