Aug 2022
We stayed in this villa 5 years ago and returned again in August 2022. Our group had 12 people ranging from 9 years old to 72. Location is ideal, 5 min walk from restaurants and sea, private and spacious inside and outside. With such a good location you don't necessarily need a car , although we had one so we could enjoy occasional days out and do food shopping. Even without a car you can book day trips by bus from the various tourist shops in the village. Panormos suited us - there's >10 restaurants, a village centre with facilities, a couple of beaches (although they are small) and harbour. If you like big beaches then Panormos probably isn't for you, but there are 3 or 4 small ones with good swimming. A lot of north coast Crete beaches have rough seas, but Panormos is sheltered due to the harbours. There is a scuba dive and watersports school in the village too. The villa is split into 2 semidetached houses of 4 bedrooms + 2 bedrooms with shared outside space. Plenty of outside seating, sunbathing and dining areas. BBQ was good, I'd recommend using Lidl in Reythymno (15 mins drive) for the meat as the shop in village doesn't have a great choice. Only small gripe is that in the early evening there isn't much seating in the shade before 8pm, but it's great in mornings to sit in shade with a coffee. Pool is perfect for cooling off and is ~10-12m long and no deeper than 1.4m. Overall, a wonderful villa in a wonderful location for quiet family retreats, I would gladly return :-)

Amazing Villa for friends and family together
We stayed at this amazing Villa with a group of friends and family, with two small kids, and it was perfect for all guests simultaneously. They even met all of our special requests we had for our stay. Highly recommend it.

Perfekt, schön, Erwartungen übertroffen
Perfekt, schön, Erwartungen übertroffen
Das Haus hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Es ist genau wie auf den Bildern, wunderschön, modern, sauber, einfach herrlich. Die Lage ist perfekt, ruhig, man ist ganz für sich aber zu Fuss ist alles erreichbar: Strand, Supermarkt, div. Restaurants, Apotheke. Wunderschöne Aussicht aufs Meer. Perfekt für Familien mit Kindern. Es sind zwei Häuser zusammen, aber trotzdem jedes für sich. Man hat die Möglichkeit sich zurückzuziehen. Bade/Pooltücher sind vorhanden, es wird 1x pro Woche geputzt und alles ausgewechselt wie im Hotel. Wir haben es sehr genossen.

Es ist ein absoluter Traum
Es ist ein absoluter Traum
Es war ein super schöner Urlaub. Wir haben die 13 Tage Sehr genossen. Das Haus selber ist ein absoluter Traum! Es fehlt hier wirklich an rein gar nichts. Von der Einrichtung bis hin zu allem drum herum ist alles Perfekt. Die Betreuung vor Ort war absolute Spitzenklasse. Wenn man irgendwelche Wünsche hatte , wurde sich direkt darum gekümmert. Bei der Ankunft hat uns Frau Roula (Besitzerin) sehr herzlich Empfangen. Es standen einige Willkommens Überaschungen (Wein, Obst, Süßigkeiten) in der Küche. Nach der ersten Woche hat Sie uns dann sogar noch einen Kuchen vorbei gebracht. Der Kontakt war super Nett. Besser geht es nicht! Auch der Kontakt zu Valia war super nett. Sie hat sich wirklich sofort um alles gekümmert! Wir werden bestimmt noch mal wieder kommen. Es war einfach nur toll. Vielen lieben Dank noch mal für alles! André Hülsmann und Familie

Great family holiday villa close to village and beach
Great family holiday villa close to village and beach
Our stay in July 2019 was fantastic. From initiating the booking process with Valia to leaving the keys at the end of our stay - we could not have asked for more. The villa is beautiful, with contemporary styling, comfortable beds, great lighting, modern appliances, spacious rooms, private pool and lawns - very nice for my family of 11 - 3 generations. Roula greeted us as we arrived and made sure we were well looked after. Locally there are plenty of cafes, ice cream and coffee parlours and tavernas, some right on the beach, others tucked away down little side roads. It's not too touristy in Panormos, and felt very easy to wander around the shops and bars, very friendly people too. The walk to the village only took about 5-6 minutes, down a hill, but not too steep for the walk back! We wanted all of these facilities, especially restaurants, local to the villa as we did not want to hire a car. Our transfer from the airport (recommended by the owner) was happy to stop for half an hour at a Rethymno supermarket en route, for us to stock up on main supplies for our week. That really helped. All in all, I'd have no hesitation in booking this villa again - everything was just perfect. Thank you to Valia and to Roula.

A stunning village on the coast of Crete
A stunning village on the coast of Crete
This villa is magnificent: beautifully designed to a grand scale. It’s by far the nicest property in the region. It’s comfortable: it’s spacious; it’s well located; it’s well equipped; it’s got a great pool and well tended garden. It lacks nothing and it’s managed both helpfully and very professionally. 11 of us shared it, ages ranging from 11-85 and we found it perfect.
