General information
The villa is a tranquil, modern villa located in an idyllic, natural environment offering absolute privacy. It was built in 2008 on the outskirts of the quiet village of Prines.

The villa has 200 square meters of spacious living space and was build on a blossoming piece of land of 4.000 square meters that is connected with a 5.000 square meter olive grove. The flowers in the gardens are flowers and trees common to Crete but the gardens are distinguished for the collection of herbs that give characteristic beautiful smells in and out of the villa.
The villa has been build with a great respect to the natural environment and this is why you can see big old trees with huge trunks in the gardens. The décor of each room has a character that has been inspired by the see views, by the beautiful natural surroundings and by the romantic and idyllic evenings in the villa.
The materials and fabrics used in the villa are always kept in an exceptionally clean condition that we are praised for.

Location:
Prines is a traditional village of Crete with a few tavernas and mini markets in its centre, at about 1 km away from the villa. The larger town of Atsipopoulo is just 3km away and offers two supermarkets, tavernas, banks and a popular pizza restaurant. The sandy beaches of Gerani and Episkopi are located in short driving distance (5-10 minutes away). Rethymno, the main city is 6km from the villa.
Rethymno on the North coast of Crete, situated at equal distances from Heraklion and Chania, is only a short distance from the most picturesque countryside, making it an ideal center to explore the island.
Crete is the largest island in Greece, between Europe and Africa. Majestic mountains rise in its center- the White Mountains, Psiloritis or Ida and Dikti Mountains- but there are also lots of endless beaches.

Fantastic villa
The villa was fantastic and had everything you would want. The pool was lovely and there were also places you could sit in the shade especially a very comfortable hammock chair hanging from a tree. Although the local village is only a 15 minute walk away i would say you definitely need a car. We wish we could of stayed longer

A home away from home. What a wonderful stay
I have just come back from spending a wonderful stay at Villa Danna. Our party (myself, my two young children 10 & 7) and my best friends family (2 adults and 3 children, 1 and half, 7 & 11) stayed at the villa for 12 days. I am not someone that normally tends to leave reviews but after such a wonderful holiday I felt compelled to so that others could hopefully benefit from such a lovely "home away from home". The villa is absolutely lovely and in my humble opinion the pictures do not do it justice. The house was spotlessly clean on arrival and Bill (the owner) was awaiting us (and we didn't arrive until 1am!). Where the villa is situated offers a privacy, amazing views (the sunset from the huge upper balcony is beautiful!) and space for all. Great places to come together as a group and eat / socialise including the lovely outside kitchen / BBQ. The pool was fabulous, a great size (looks amazing when you switch on the pool lights at night!). A short walk to Prines and a short drive to Rethymno. Lastly but not least my thanks to the family (Marina, Bill, Stratianna, Helena, Mike) I cannot thank you all enough for your warmth, kindness & advice of where to go / what to see). Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your villa and for making our holiday so special. I absolutely recommend this villa and I hope others experience both the villa and the wonderful family who own it. Hope to see you all again soon. Justin

A wonderful 2 weeks
We’ve just returned from a fantastic stay at Villa Danna. Stratianna and family were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The villa has large rooms and each bedroom is en-suite. The upstairs balcony was perfect for both breakfast and watching the sunset in the evenings. The outside area was extensive with a lovely pool and separate bbq area. We also enjoyed walking into Prines in the evening for dinner with its 3 tavernas, pharmacy and mini market. Would definitely return!

Just perfect!
The villa is located away fromt he coast in a lovely rual spot - olive groves and lovely localvilages with great tavernas and shops and was a perfect spot to get away fromt he hustle an dbustle but only a 10-15 min drive into rethymno or nearby beaches andalso is well placed to drive to the south coast too or further west. the villa is perfect and well equipped with a lovely pool and loverly spots to sit and chill. But what made the holiday even better was the welcoming hospitality of Marina and her family who ere always on hand when needed and so friendly and helpful with advice when needed. Really the most perfect spot to enjoy beautiful Crete!

Beautiful property and fantastic hosts
We had a fantastic stay at villa Danni. Stratianna was there to meet us on arrival, even at midnight! Her communication was great and very helpful. The property was clean, airy and the views were stunning. We never tired of the sunsets! The pool was a lovely size with plenty of outdoor furniture for all. The WiFi was reliable and we were very happy there. Vasilis and my dad went off for breakfast together and set the world to right and Marina treated him to her home baked delights. Such kind people. My only recommendation would be to have a second set of keys for guests. As the property is so big it is likely to accommodate more than one family and it would offer easier independence in larger groups. I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful villa and we hope to return one day. Thank you Davi family!

About the host

Hosted by Stratianna Davi

Host profile image
Our parents, Marina and Capt. Vasilis Davis, build this villa for me and my sister, Stratianna and Helen Davi, and they are build to the highest standard. However since we live in other countries we decided to rent them as holiday rentals. We are a marine family our parents used to work in merchant ships, my sister Helen is an officer in the Navy and I am a Science teacher and school leader . We speak English, Helen speaks both English and French. Our guests tell us that we are very hospitable,friendly and helpful. We love to offer help when it is needed in a discrete way. Many of our guests keep visiting the villa again and again for many years!

Why they chose this property

We decided to build our villa in this location because it is in front of the sea and offers fantastic sea views. Also we were very keen to work with the garden and we liked the big olive grove that surrounds the villa. Many of the olive trees are 400 years old! We like to collect the olives every November and to produce our own extra virgin olive oil.

What makes this property unique

What is really unique is the big variety of Cretan herbs that are abundant in the garden and you could collect them and use them in your cooking and for tea or as beauty and perfume products. We also have carob and olive trees in a big olive grove and you could be invoved in the collection of the olives. In the garden there are also pieces of art made of natural materials like stone and wood.
