Outstanding villa
We have been lucky enough to have stayed in some lovely villas around the world but the Villa Daphne is truly outstanding. We were a family group aged 2 to 65. The villa was perfect for all of us. It is immaculately clean. Furthermore it is cleaned every few days. This includes the house, the towels, the bedding, the whole outside area right down to changing the covers on the outside furniture. Any queries, Markos, the owner will respond within minutes. Markos comes every few days to oversee the cleaning and to personally clean the pool and outside areas. We were left an amazing welcome food package. Throughout our stay Markos brought some delicious treats. The kitchen is well stocked. A real treat was being supplied with thick soft towels. The house has so much for every age group. The outside pool is such a good size. Room for all. Our family made a great deal of use of the indoor pool, partly as it was warm when they woke up early in the morning and partly when it was too hot for them outside. A real bonus. The outdoor dining /bbq area is well kitted out and perfect for family meals. The views were spectacular particularly the sunsets. We found many perfect eating places near the villa and in Rethymno. The food , the service and the people were lovely. We recommend hiring a car also useful for visiting the plentiful excellent local supermarkets. An all round excellent villa. We would highly recommend.

The perfect multi-generation stay!
It's hard to know where to start here. There are so many incredibly positive things to say. Booking: The coordination in booking was seamless, instant responses and detailed answers throughout. Location: Whilst down a bumpy road up hills, it is totally worth it for the simply stunning views and privacy! You need a car or taxi to get around. The Villa: I mean it has everything you could possibly want. Whilst the inside is stunning, and has all the amenities you want, the outside space is what it is all about. Kids and adults alike had things to entertain them, swimming pool, table tennis, air hockey, sun loungers, BBQ and beautiful sunsets/sunrises! The Host: There are not many people on earth as kind and as generous as Markos. His hospitality knows no bounds, super attentive, friendly and just a great human. The Concierge Service: Etouri were the icing on the very large delicious cake! I want them in my life always. Nothing was too much trouble for any one of us. From taxi bookings to restaurant bookings if you need anything they are just a message or a call away.

The most amazing Villa
The Villa was stunning from start to finish. Communication before and during was outstanding. Upon arriving, we were wowed by the villa, no expense spared and perfectly maintained. For a group of 9 people it had everything we needed from cooking equipment to sun loungers. We all loved our week here which had the most amazing views of the sunset.

Great family villa
This is the perfect villa for a Crete stay. Ideal for families, large outdoor pool and indoor pool plus plenty of well looked after activities to entertain the kids. Gorgeous sunset views and very well equipped kitchen for cooking (including bbq). Great location for beaches (Bali is great!), shops and restaurants (not far from Rethymno - which is fab too). Villa owner very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable with great advice for what to do/ where to go. Provided us with great local produce for our stay - check out his shop in Rethymno too - Moka - (wish he'd open one in the UK!)

Absolutely Outstanding !!!!
We have been renting villas across Europe for over 20 years. This was the best by far – simply outstanding!! The villa facilities, especially the outdoor space, were just perfect. Proper sunbeds, games and spacious private gardens. The pool is huge and the salt water filtration so much better than the usual chlorine cleaning. There is a shady spot for any time of the day. It was hard to tear ourselves away to explore the area. The view of the sunset in the evening was just breath-taking. The villa interior has everything you would need for a group of any size. There is a good local supermarket 2 minutes drive away and many good restaurants within a 10 minute drive a - special mention for Paraplous right by the sea with brilliant service and excellent food. Markos, the villa owner, was the perfect host. Kind, generous and helpful beyond any reasonable expectation. He is obviously very proud of Villa Daphne, as he should be, and wanted everything to be perfect. It was spotlessly maintained twice a week by Markos and his team. Markos was ever helpful with suggestions on where to eat, places to visit, and on every visit bearing gifts from his shop in the old town. Who could ask for more ? Etouri's concierge service was an added bonus. Booking restaurants and taxis for an evening out and answering any query or request very promptly and keeping in touch from booking to leaving at the end of our stay. First class communication. Absolutely recommend this villa - you won't
