Monthly Rentals in Damnoni

We stayed less than a week in the beautiful garden paradise of Tina & Takis. It was absolutely fantastic, the place is wonderful with views across the valley to the sea and surrounded by flowers and plants. The apartment is very nice even in the rain, it is spacious, warm, lovingly furnished and offers everything you need to cook and feel good. Check-in was easy and flexible even though we were a little late. Both were great hosts, with a lot of creative energy and great recommendations for exploring the area. In addition, both speak perfect German (Tina is also a native speaker), so communication was very easy for us. Tina gave us homemade cakes to say goodbye and we really had a heavy heart to leave the apartment and Crete again. All the more, we hope to come back soon!

Great place to stay, we were welcomed with fresh fruit, veggies, water and wine.

We booked last minute - the day before as we were travelling around Crete - and had a very good deal on this property. The accommodation is as or even better than the photos. Very light, airy and spacious. There are insect screens on the windows and patio doors though the odd mosquito found its way in. The beach is close and not busy at this time of year. I did dip in the pool which is immaculately kept. Comfortable chairs for outside. Good supermarkets, baker and butcher in Plakias and plenty of walks to do. The local tavernas were not yet open but plenty in Plakias were. I’m not sure that the staircase is suitable for the very young or infirm as there is nothing to hold onto at the top.

Villa Velagio Is clean modern well equipped for two or four people. Not isolated but in a rural setting not overlooked . The private pool and terris give you views across hills to the mountains and though the valley to the sea. To pool is perfect for adults to plunge and cool down. Too deep for non swimming children (IMO). Being on the edge of plakias , means you have close access (by car) to 5 sandy beaches in five or ten minutes. Some are Naturists , most are textile, so everyone should be happy. In land there are natural geological features , birds and plants to explore. There are many beach side and mountain Taverna so you will not go hungry. The villa has washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hob and the all important Nespresso machine. Linen is clean , towels are plentiful and the air conditioning works perfectly. There is one shower and loo. If we could , we might never have gone home, this is a lovely lovely place.
