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.

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 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.
5.0 / 10.0·Dec 2016
The location is within a short drive from the pretty town of Rethimno and several lovely beaches. This upmarket villa is stunning!! It is large enough to house all the family including the grandparents and an assortment of children. The private grounds have been lovingly landscaped by the owners and provide ample room for wedding parties. The villa itself is very modern and is kept spotlessly clean. It has views of the blue med which we enjoyed endlessly while sipping a gin and tonic on the huge veranda!! The swimming pool was big and clean. What a great way to start the day!We were warmly welcomed by Marina,the owner, who speaks good English. She kept us entertained with stories of life in Crete past and present. And her cookies were the best. We look forward to returning for a repeat helping of this place in paradise.
