We hired the whole place for a big family anniversary. It was perfect for us, like having a private hotel. Chania is amazing, and the villas are a great base for exploring the island. Spotlessly clean thanks to Maria the daily cleaner who is lovely. Our only issue was that on the day of check out both the cleaner and the owner were camping out waiting for us to leave from 8am (we were due to be out at 10). Felt a bit like we were being told to get out ASAP, and difficult to enjoy our last breakfast on the terrace when the whole place is already being hosed down.

Best vacation in my life and the perfect place for a wedding! The owner Maria helped us get our dreamwedding! She’s an angel, she helped us with weddingplanners, catering and everything around it! The villas and the garden/pool area are beautiful, better than the pictures! We were 22 people both children and grownups and it was perfect, there is big rooms and livingroom areas and the kitchen has everything you need:) If go here you wont miss anything, Maria thinks about everything and is very helpful! She is very serviceminded and make sure you have everything you need and want. I Will recommend this place to everyone i know! Thank you Maria and your family for making our dream come true

Our Stay at Daphnis Villas was amazing. We were a family of 20+ people ranging between 0-70 years old. The houses made it possible to have enjoyable times at the pool, trips to the beach and cooking for the kids! I would have one remark: the WiFi was not very strong. But this doesn’t really matter when you are on vacation! All my family loved the villas, and we would absolutely come again. Tess Hubendick

18 of us visited in May 2018, 4 families including 10 children aged 1 to 12. We had a fabulous time with wonderful service from Maria who was very helpful and kind. She organised a mini bus transfer for the airport and also a beach day trip to Falassarna (beautiful sandy beach about 40 mins away). The villas are great, comfy beds and well equipped kitchens. There is a great size pool for the kids and excellent BBQ facilities. We didn’t hire a car at all, very easy bus route to Chania or €25 in a taxi. Also in walking distance of some great local restaurants which are very reasonable. The shingle beach 200m away is very easy to get to and we were lucky to have beautiful sunshine all week ☀️ We all loved our stay and hope to return!

We have spend a very nice week in the villas together with our whole family, 9 adult + 7 children(10month-18yrs). Best week of the year for all of us. The villas had it all! Nice furnished and well equiped with very comfortable beds. The owner Maria and her family made our stay unforgetable. The poolarea is clean and comfortable with sunbeds for all. Barbeque place , playground and ping-pong table made everyone happy! 200 meters to the beach and bikes available! Perfect for big party or family.

Parentes, children and grandchildren in all 16 persons stayed for a week in this very nice houses. Everything was to our satisfaction: in-and out-side area well equiped, clean and with spaces for sittning in the sun, shadow or swimming in the clean pool. Maria and her whole family made us all feel at home! Barbque area was very good as well as the small playground close to a tabletennis table. Something to do for everyone. Bikes to borrow and only 200m to the Beach..

We have just returned from our 2 week family holiday at Daphnis Villas. Ours was a family of 19 people ranging from 11 months to 80 years old so needs and requirements were varied. After an extensive search for a large villa we came across Daphnis Villas, it seemed to fit the bill perfectly. We rented all 4 villas so had exclusive use of the complex and had a wonderful time. The villas are all well equipped, well maintained and clean. They had everything we needed plus a maid came round daily which was luxury. For us it was all about the large pool, relaxing, being together yet having our own space when you wanted it and this certainly gave us that. The layout of the complex means that you can have shade or sun anytime of the day. The large BBQ and play area together with the table tennis (we had a tournament) were excellent. The gym was used by some of us and was a big hit, it even has hot showers. Our hosts Maria and Nikos were lovely, we were greeted on arrival and they ensured we had everything we needed. One of the children had a medical problem that Nikos helped with above and beyond. On arrival Maria noticed my mother had some mobility issues and asked if she'd like a bed made up on the ground floor, Mum gratefully accepted this kind offer. Having read reviews prior to booking I was concerned that the pool may be a problem with the children 11months, 15months, 3yrs and 8 yrs but all was good as the surrounding area is large and non slip. The shallow area was ideal for the babies. Just great!! As for location it was ideal for us, set in a quiet area with a local mini mart and bus stop just 2 mins walk away. The beach is just a 5 min walk away. A vegetarian restaurant just 2 mins walk away serves great crepes and beetroot burgers. A 20 min stroll takes you to Maleme where you can find larger supermarkets and several bars and restaurants. The bus service is regular and efficient. Just a 10 min bus ride away is the quiet village of Kolymbari, it has a small harbour, a few shops and excellent restaurants, also it's worth going to see the beautiful Monastry of Gonia while your there. If you want somewhere busier then Platanias is just a short bus ride away, it's a large busy resort with plenty of tavernas, bars and shops. Everything is on the doorstep of these villas, the villas, pool and grounds are just wonderful. I can throughly recommend Daphnis Villas. None of us wanted to leave. Thank you so much Maria and Niko
