Excellent in all respects
We are a family of 22 aged from 0.5 to 60 years old. Every year we stay in a house in a different country. Daphnis Villas was probably the best one to date. The overall plan with the 4 villas, the common area, huge pool, and BBQ/dining/playground area offer the rare option to have both privacy and be together in family. The quality of the infrastructure is very good. Last but no least, Maria is a gracious, friendly and efficient host who leaves in front of the property and is always available to help or fix any issues. Not to forget the delicious olive oil gifts from Maria that we are bringing back home. Kids loved it, and so did adults.

Perfect in every way!
This is a wonderful place for large groups. We were a family group aged between 15 and 76. We have been on many holidays together but everyone agreed that this was the best yet! The villas are so well equipped, the pool and garden areas are delightful and would also be suitable for younger children. It was perfect. We were all together, but had our own space too. Maria and her husband went above and beyond to help my mother with a medical issue and we were so grateful.
Exceptional service - thank you so much.
We all hope to visit again in the future 😊

Perfect Family Holiday
Maria’s villa is an absolutely perfect place for a family vacation. We were 14 people between the ages of 8 - 80. Every single one of us loved the villa. The pool is beautiful and so much larger than it looks in the pictures. Maria is an incredible host. She is warm and helpful and can give you any advice you need. The villas themselves are so well-appointed. You will not need anything at all. Everything you can think of is provided. The location is also perfect. It is a 4 minute walk to a small beach with great swimming. It is an easy drive to Balos and Falassarna if you want to see more famous beaches. There are so many great restaurants and bakeries within an easy walk of the villa. We would absolutely love to come back again. Maria has really created the perfect family vacation spot. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Perfect for us. 16 people. 4 families. 2 grandparents in one. 2 families of 5 in 2 others and 1 family of 4 in other. Kids ranging from 19 to 4. All enjoyed. Pool big enough. Barbecue facilities good. Good eating relaxing spaces. Maria lives close by and available for advice eg taxis, trips and shopping. Gave us a lift to larger supermarket first day for big shop. Bakery, mini market, pharmacy, beach and small restaurants nearby. Slightly longer walk to more restaurants and supermarket in Maleme nearby. Aqua park was good. Not too busy. Good place for family bonding and relaxing

Brilliant for a big family group
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.

Really lovely stay for families
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!

Family stay in all 4 houses
We stayed at Daphnis Villas for one week, 15 persons with an age span from 5 to 73 years. This place was perfect for us, being a big group with people with different needs and day rythms. Each family had their own house, but most of the time was spent in the common area for meals, sunbathing and swimming. The pool is quite big, and there is also a ping-pong table which we used a lot. The barbeque area was perfect for common meals, but we also had many of our dinners at restaurants by the beach (5 min by bike, 15-20 min on foot). The owners provided several bicycles to our disposal, which was very practical. The beach is just a couple of minutes walking distance from the houses, and there is also a restaurant with tables in the shadow and sunbeds for the customers in this part of the beach. The landlady Maria was very helpful, she drove us around and showed us the area the first day, and stopped by to see if we needed anything during our stay. The houses and the area were clean and wel held. We rented a car during our stay, which was practical for grocery shopping, but we also could have managed well without.
We would definitely recommend Daphnis Villas!

Perfekt ferie
Vi var en storfamile på 24 stykker i alderen 0-76 år som hadde en fantastisk ferie på 14 dager i Daphnis Villas. Maria var en fantastisk vert som var oppmerksom og hjelpsom på alle mulige måter. Bassengområdet fungerte meget godt med tilstrekkelig med plass og solsenger. 3 6 åringer lærte å svømme i bassenget og vil nok huske denne ferien lenge. Leilighetene var meget funksjonelle med vaskemaski n, oppvaskmaskin og alt man trengte for matlaging. Det var gode muligheter for både fellesskap og privatliv på dette feristedet. AC på alle rom var også helt fantastisk. Vi brukte grillområdet mange kvelder og hadde noen fantastiske solnedganger og kveldsstunder sammen. Vi kan anbefale stedet på det varmeste

Fina hus med närhet tillvarandra en stor pool och härliga terasser med havsutsikt.
Vi har bott 18 personer ( både vuxna och barn) i en vecka. Fantastiskt fin vistelse och bra välplanerade hus med terasser och pool som utnyttjades flitigt. Nära till havet, dock lite längre till flera restauranger men inom promenadavstånd. Välfungerande cyklar finns att använda dagligen gratis. En fin liten trädgård med grill och sittplatser och även lite gungor och rutschkanor för barnen. Servicen och kontakten med Maria fastighetsägaren har fungerat utmärkt. Snabba svar, positivt bemötande och bra hjälp. Maria har också gett oss tips på utflykter och fina närliggande stränder och hjälpt till med att ordna saker vi behövt hjälp med. Vi hade gärna stannat en vecka till och vi längtar redan tillbaka. Vi vill tacka Maria för en fin vistelse och ser fram till att återvända snart. Med vänliga hälsningar Anita med familj och vänner.

Amazing pool, weather, company at this incredible location!
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.
