The house is situated in a beautiful holiday park, and it is only a short walking distance from the unique Cretan fishermans village called Panormos. The communal pool is next to the house, and it is surrounded by beautiful flowers and palms. The sea is just 100 meters away, and nice sandy beaches can be found in the village. In this small charming village you will find restaurants, shops, cafes and everything you will need for a nice holiday. A brand new supermarket is situated only 100 meters from the holiday complex.

Direct access from the living room and kitchen to the terrace and pool. The living room contains both a sofa and a sofabed, and a mobile cot and a baby highchair.

Walking distance (8-10 minutes) to the village with restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. The village also has ATM, several grocery shops, mini markets, pharmacy, bakery, butcher, hair dressers, rent a car, travel agency, boat hire and so on. There is a short drive (22 km) to nearby town Rethymnon, and 56 km to Heraklion which has an airport. Chania and its airport is 79 km to the west.
The summer house is a nice and cosy home for a quiet Cretan holiday, and a perfect starting point for trips and sightseeing on a fantastic island with very good climate, varied nature and lots of opportunities!

Summary of reviews
Guests highly recommend Roald's apartment and the village of Panormos for a perfect and relaxing holiday with great amenities, a beautiful pool, and helpful owners/managers.

My wife and I have recently returned having rented Roald’s apartment 22nd - 29th June 2019. The apartment is clean, to modern standard, well equipped and is perfected for a stay in Panormos. The apartment is in a great location and just the other side of the apartment’s private garden terrace is the great communal pool, that is ideal for both families and adults, as the the pool is separated into 3 interconnect pools of deferring depths, which are cleaned and maintained daily by the complex management company.
The complex is located about a 10 minute easy walk from the village centre and 5 minute walk from the beach.
Panormos village is amazing, it isn’t over developed and still had an original Cretan feel to it. In the evening the Main Street is closed off to cars and the tavernas take over with the tables being positioned on the cobble road.
We would highly recommend both Roald’s apartment and Panormos.
We hope to go back soon.

A lovely house on a lovely small complex. This was our second visit to this apartment and it was just as good as the first time. The house was clean on our arrival and cleaned every week. The pool area was cleaned daily, there were plenty of sun beds and the pool was always quiet.
Communication with the owner is excellent both before and during our holiday. There was a bit of a problem with the dishwasher when we arrived and a new one was fitted within a couple of days. During the fitting the kickboard was damaged and the lovely property manager Dean came to measure up and that too was replaced immediately.
Panormos village is not too commercialised with plenty of good tavernas, most of which we tried and without fail had good meals with friendly service.
Overall we had a wonderful three day weeks.

We have just returned (yesterday) from 2 weeks in this lovely apartment. The apartment is well equipped and has all you need for a relaxing holiday. It is perfectly located on the ground floor with a lovely, spacious patio overlooking the pool. We loved being able to step straight out of the apartment to the pool area which was never busy (although we were staying out of season).
The apartment complex is beautifully landscaped and kept immaculately clean. It is a 5-10 minute walk from Panormos itself and there is a small supermarket 100m away with basic provisions. There are a couple of bigger supermarkets in the village itself.
Roald, the owner, could not have been more helpful and attentive, emailing frequently to make sure everything was ok and with helpful tips for things to do in the area. The whole process, from initial enquiries to the return of the 100 euro deposit (which Roald returned immediately!) Dean, the property manager, was also on hand, if needed, either in person or by phone.
We would definitely return here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.

I stayed for one week in september 2018, relaxing and quiet place. Perfect temp in the pool, not to warm. House with all I needed, shop/grocery only about 100 meters away. Quick and good help from Roald, the owner, if there was any problems. (Phone and email.) Nice freediving (snorkeling?) in the sea! Only 100 meters to walk down to the sea. (Remember to bring some kind of shoes you can use in the water, easier to go in and out of the water.)

This property was perfect for our family of four. It is ideally located close enough to local shops/Tavernas and the local beaches and has all the facilities that we needed for a relaxing stay. The pool was great for the kids, especially as the apartment is located so close the pool and there was never any issue with sunbeds as there were two available in the garden of the apartment as well as additional sunbeds around the pool. It was never too busy and there were often quiet periods when we had the pool to ourselves.
The owner, Roald was very helpful and accommodating when we were organizing our trip and provided lots of useful info as well as being flexible with the dates for our stay. He stayed in regular contact via e-mail throughout our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed. I would recommend this property to anyone who would like to enjoy a relaxing holiday in a great location.

This was exactly as described, a lovely house on a lovely complex. The accommodation is modern, comfortable and very well equipped.The pool was great and never too busy with plenty of sun beds even in August. The village is still traditional with lots of good tavernas (Kastros is the closest and our favourite).
The owner was very accommodating when our travel dates didn't fit in with the change over dates and was always easy to contact when we had questions.
A slight criticism is that the hedge on the terrace restricted the lovely view of the pool but some people will value the privacy it provides.

Apartment 6 is exactly as described in the listing. It is bright, modern and clean, with all the facilities that you need. A mid-stay change of linen, and clean of the property was provided during our 10-day stay. The free wi-fi was reliable, and fast enough for our needs. The large patio/garden overlooking the pool area has a table with 4 chairs, and 2 sun loungers. This area gets the sun all morning (in September anyway!), and has shade all afternoon - an ideal spot for a shady lunch after a morning sun bathing and swimming. For those that want sun in the afternoon, there are many sunbeds for use around the beautiful pool area. The pool area also has 3 or 4 large sun umbrellas for residents' use, and a number of large palm trees also provide shade if required. The pool area was never, ever busy during the 10 days we were there, and there were always plenty of spare sunbeds (if not, you could easily use the 2 from the apartment).
The apartment is a 6-7 minute stroll from the nearest 2 tavernas, and the centre of Panormo (with a choice of many tavernas, cafes, mini-markets and gift shops - everything you could need) is a further 2 or 3 minute stroll away. Panormo is a beautiful and friendly little village, with lots of interesting streets and alleyways to wander around. Whilst being full of tourists, it is not "touristy" - it has retained its charm. The harbour area has a number of good tavernas and cafes with stunning views of the harbour. Prices for evening meals were reasonable - a typical meal for 2 of a shared starter, 2 main courses of local Cretan dishes, half a litre of good house wine, free desert (at all the tavernas we used), and free raki at the end of the meal would be 25 to 35 euros depending on your menu choices (lobster, fillet steak etc might be more).
Roald, the property owner, has very good English, and could not have been faster or more helpful when answering our (many!!) questions - both before the holiday and whilst we were there. Dean, his property manager in Crete, also spoke great English and was always available by phone or email if a problem arose (a brand new kettle failed on us, and was sorted immediately) - and he was also able to provide reassuring advice during a power cut (which is an occupational hazard on Crete!).
All in all, we had a fabulous time in Roald's apartment and would not hesitate to return to Panormo, and to Roald's apartment, in the future. We would also recommend it to friends and family.
