Villa Danna is a luxurius, tranquil and modern villa located in an idillic, natural environment offering absolute privacy. Villa Danna is one of the two villas called villas Davis in Rethymno that belong to the Davis family.
It is built on the outskirts of the quiet village of Prines. Prines is only 6km from the traditional town of Rethymnon and only 50km from the cosmopolitan city of Chania. The villa has 200 square meters ofspacious 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 olive 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.
The villa offers a calm, secluded environment and is suitable for max 10 persons.
The warm welcome, the service and the hospitality will make your stay comfortable and stress free and is what makes it a luxurius villa.

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.

After Covid measures: Cleaning was always the most important focus in our villa. We use pharmaceutical disinfectants to clean every surface of the villa. We pay special attention to the kitchen and bathroom areas that we diligently clean with bleach. All fabrics and linen are washed at 90 degrees Celsius. The cleaning is supervised by the owners of to ensure the highest standards of cleaning offered. We are proud of our reviews about cleaning where you could read how much we care about you having a safe and healthy experience in our villa. Soaps and disinfectants are available in the villa!

    The host was so great and patient with us. We got lost and they went to meet us at a local store to bring us the rest of the way, despite it being their Good Friday. The home was beautiful with amazing views. The rooms were spacious, all with baloconies. It was so nice that each couple had their own bathroom. The host was there when we needed supplies. Gorgeous home and nice location!

    We were three families sharing the house and had a great time at Villa Danna. Excellent pool in the garden, with subeds and possibly for shade if preferred. Wonderful house, nice bbq-area. The host family was very nice and friendly. They did their best to sort out, what seemed to be a local, wifi problem in the area. But to be honest we were better off without, and had less time on our phones and more time for each other. They were very service minded and served us with info on local restaurants and markets as well as more sun beds, towels etc when needed. We highly recommend this place.

    We had the most wonderful two weeks staying at Villa Danna. The accommodation was perfect and immaculate. The family were all on hand to assist with anything we needed and insisted on re-cleaning the house and emptying and re-filling the pool after a freak Saharan dust storm. We had three animal loving kids with us, who were thrilled that the family dog was nearby (a short walk across through the olive trees) for strokes and cuddles, and Rosie the cat was often asleep in the shade somewhere. We loved the pool, the eating areas, the upstairs balcony with incredible views of the sunset and the table tennis table got plenty of use too. It was a good walk uphill to the nearest taverna or shop, which was fine for the younger members of the party but tricky for anyone with mobility issues. It was a short drive into Rethymno to lots of bars and restaurants. We would definitely stay there again, after a wonderful two weeks of relaxation and sunshine.

    Beautiful villa in a fantastic setting, that was an amazing place to relax. A superb space that we thoroughly enjoyed as a family of 9, with views that can only be described as idyllic! The host was always quick to respond to any queries and a pleasure to meet in person.

    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

    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

    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!

    Everything you want in a property this has. Excellent hosts. Always available to answer questions about the property and the region. Location. The property is centrally located on the island. You can go anywhere in a few hours. Located near Rethymo and walking distance to Prines. Prines is away from tourists you can actually just enjoy life. The entire experience was super rewarding. Thank you Last but not least the house. Everyone has space to unwind. Upstairs, downstairs, outside on the decks and the pool area. Simply spectacular. Thanks again
