Luxurius private villa with swimming pool, sea views and activities-Villa Danna
Licence number of Hellenic Tourism Organisation : 1213836
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 was built in 2008 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 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 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.

The living room is surrounded by a spacius terrace and this allows you to have sea views or views of the gardens and the olive grove even when you are sitting in the living room.
The colours are warm natural colours that fit with the natural environment and the artistic mood of the garden design.

Villa – Top floor
The top floor is the most impressive part of the villa. This is because of the big windows, the enormous terrace and the fantastic sea and mountain views that it offers. Our visitors spend a lot of time relaxing and admiring the sea views and the view of the White Mountains from this spacious terrace. Being there you feel the aura and it gives you energy by creating a unique feeling of you being a part of the nature.
There are two bedrooms on the top floor. One of them has a double bed with traditional and romantic touches of decoration. It has a big en suite bathroom where you can also find and use a washing machine for your laundry and the other bedroom has a king size bed with more modern touches of decoration and a beautiful bathroom with a shower. All rooms go with soft and clean white cotton bed sheets and soft cotton towels.
Exterior of the villa
The villa enjoys an elevated position in tranquil rural surroundings with views across orange and olive groves to the sea. A beautiful courtyard with pool, grassy landscape and olive trees is offered.
Rich gardens with private areas and a private swimming pool is at your disposal along with BBQ facilities and outdoor furniture.
As you are walking around the gardens you can find pieces of art that are created by our artist Michael. You can also take benefit of the vegetable gardens and collect your own veggies like tomatoes and cucumbers or corns when they are available.
The swimming pool is safely designed with a safe area for children and big enough for you to enjoy a swim. It is being cleaned everyday as is an outdoor pool.
The plants, trees and herbs are making the gardens a unique place to sit and relax.

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!

About the host
Hosted by Stratianna Davi

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.
