Peacefully located in the sleepy hamlet of Defaranata, this gorgeous, recently constructed home is a lovely spot in which to escape the hurly-burly of modern day living and enjoy life at a much gentler pace! With appealing sea views from the pool terrace across the sparkling Bay of Assos, two tavernas and a minimarket at nearby Vassilikades (3.6km) plus the excellent amenities and charming little beach of Assos itself around a ten minute drive, Dafni offers everything needed for a memorably restful holiday. A wealth of natural local stone, wood and ceramics has been incorporated to great effect in the house fabric to create a most welcoming ambience, with vaulted beamed ceilings adding further character to the already spacious interior.
And equal care can be seen in the house finish; rooms are simply styled and all the more attractive for it, carefully chosen furnishings achieve a perfect balance of comfort and practicality with pride of place in the décor given to the unblemished hues of the exposed stone walls and mellow ochre shades of polished cement and sandstone. A modern farmhouse kitchen set to one side of the open plan lower floor blends in seamlessly with the semi-rustic theme of the property.
Plenty of terrace space over several levels surrounds the house and private pool ensuring everyone will always have their own personal spot whether wishing to sit, sun or dine!
The world famous sandy crescent beach of Myrtos and picturesque harbour of Fiscardo and are both easily reached by car in about 15 and 25 minutes respectively. All across this scenic northern half of the island there are numerous ‘hidden’ coves, sheltered beaches and country walking trails awaiting your discovery.
Part-terraced grounds and some open-sided steps mean younger children may require supervision. Due to the wooded environs barbecues are not permitted Please note: The Greek Government charge a Climate Tax which is payable by guests staying in hotels and other properties. For Dafni the charge is a flat rate of €15 (£13.04) per night. For your convenience we will add this amount to your booking, rather than you having to pay it in resort.

What an amazing place! Beautifully furnished, clean and spacious and we loved the outdoor space and the pool. The views of the mountains and Assos were breathtaking, we really didn't want to leave!
We very much liked the location of Dafni and the rustic style of the property. Unfortunately, there were a few minor domestic issues which reduced our options and overall enjoyment while staying at the property. One of the glasses was chipped on the rim and could have caused a laceration to the mouth had I not noticed it. The inside of the mugs were quite discoloured and made us feel reluctant to use them. The induction hob was on lock mode and was difficult for us to work out how to unlock it. The TV channels had to be re-configured which took the technicians a good 30 minutes to resolve when they visited the following day. The dishwasher never worked. We reported it on Wednesday 10/09/25, but no-one arrived to repair it by the time we left on Sunday 14/09/25. There was only one toilet roll in the shower room and en-suite, no kitchen rolls and the tea towel had a hole in it. While we were most grateful for the complimentary foodstuffs left for us, the bread which had been left on top of the work surface in the kitchen area was covered in ants. The ants were crawling all over the work surface. The housekeeper visited midweek - and at our request left more toilet rolls but informed us we had to buy our own kitchen towels. She did not change the bedlinen in both bedrooms but we were pleased she issued fresh towels.The pool, outdoor area and views were amazing. It was a very peaceful area to be in.
