Summary of reviews
Beautiful villas with excellent location, spacious rooms, lovely pool, and welcoming owners and staff. Ideal for families and groups looking for a relaxing holiday. Highly recommended!
10.0 / 10.0
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 :-)

Phantastisches Haus in traumhafter Umgebung
Das Haus ist komplett ausgestattet, großzügig, hell und blitzsauber. In den Ort mit zauberhaften Restaurants ist es nur ein Spaziergang von 5 Minuten. Wir waren mit 6 Erwachsenen und 6 Kindern dort und hatten absolut NIX zu meckern.

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
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 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!

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
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.

Fantastic family getaway
We had a half term holiday here with our adult children and grandchildren and it was first class in every way. The booking process was easy with Valia giving speedy and helpful responses to all of our queries.
We were delayed with our flight and arrived at 1am to find Roula , the owner, cheerfully giving us the keys and a tour of the property. The villa was superb, stylish, spotlessly clean and really well equipped and there was a full mid week clean and linen change, which was much appreciated.
The location on the edge of the village was just right for us . Everything was within walking distance - snorkelling off the beach, eating in the many tavernas and generally strolling around.
We really couldn’t fault this place and would highly recommend it to any large group who want to be near the attractions of a resort / village whilst having the benefits of their own private space.
Thank you Roula and your staff for making this a very chilled, hassle free holiday.

Fabulous modern villa
We were two families (9 people, inc 5 children) and we had a fantastic holiday at Villa Eolia in the summer. We all loved the fabulous modern villa and would definitely return again, my son regularly asks when we can go back! Having arrived in Crete very late we received a very warm welcome from the owner Roula who looked after us wonderfully throughout our stay. Valia was also great and Roula & Valia kindly organised a delicious cake for one of the children's birthdays. Beautiful outside area and a lovely pool. The boys also appreciated the PS4 in the living room! The villa is in an excellent location for lots of superb restaurants, all within walking distance. I have no hesitation in recommending.

Top quality villa, great for large families or group of friends
Villa is beautiful, recent build, with high quality fixtures and fitments throughout.
Great sized pool, much bigger than most villas we have stayed at, masses of outdoor entertaining areas.
The owner was brilliant, met us on arrival, gave us detailed tour of the property and showed us how everything worked, left bowl of fruit and a few essentials plus bottle of wine and some local cake/biscuits.
Cleaners came mid way through our stay, changed all towels and bed linen and bought lovely Gatueax.
Village is within 5 minute walk of the villa and has plently of bars and Tavernas, three seperate beaches, great view of sea from the villa.
Great location for exploring the Island being two mintes from the main road that runs the length of the island, but not close enough to hear any road noise.
Overall a great villa and a great holiday.

Beautifully maintained and equipped villa and gardens.
We could not fault this villa, just five minutes walk from the beaches and charming village, with plenty of restaurants and shops. The friendly and helpful owner welcomed us in and showed us round, leaving cakes, wine and fruit for all the family. Mid-week she sent over a beautiful huge chocolate cake with the maids, and she came round to say good-bye and make sure our stay had been to our satisfaction when we left. A fantastic holiday villa for a large family group. The best we have stayed in!

Myself and a group of 10 Friends stayed at Villa Eolia and had the most fantastic time. The villa is beautiful, chic and very spacious with more than ample room and amenities for everyone and everything. The setting is just breathtaking sitting midpoint up a hill so you are able to see beautiful sunsets and the bay of Parnormo as you relax by the stunning pool. The hill it sits on is very small and is easily Walkable to the shops and restaurants of Parnormo. The owner Mrs Roula along with Valia and the team at Think Villa were just so helpful. Both of them were keeping us up to date and checking in before the holiday and of course once we had arrived. Any problem we had (Not problems with the villa - just silly things like when I accidentally locked us out!) - The owner came running round to help us and get us back in within 20 minutes. We have had the best week and I would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a large group holiday. We are all around the age of 30 so we were looking for somewhere we could relax, cook, eat out and enjoy a few drinks but not a party town. Parnormo was perfect for this and we made great use of the town and local beaches. After befriending the manager at a local restaurant too, we would highly recommend going to eat at Porto Parassiris. This villa is an amazing find and we will be back!

Beautiful Villa. Fantastic location.
We stayed in Villa Eolia for a week earlier this month. The villa is beautiful. Garden, pool and BBQ areas are extremely well maintained. Lots of different seating areas. 5 - 10 mins walk into the village which has everything you need. The villa owner Roula is a lovely, friendly lady. Nothing was too much bother for her or her husband and we knew that we could contact her at any time should we need to. Valia from HomeAway was also lovely and helped us with all our booking details and was also happy to help with any questions or requirements we had. We were a party of 11 adults and we all agreed we loved this villa and would love to return at some point. Would definitely recommend both the villa and HomeAway to anyone considering a holiday. Thanks to all concerned. We had a great holiday xxx

The property was exceptional.
We got a hire car from the airport - which in hindsight we should have taken a cab and then hired a car from the village as despite good directions and maps it was not so easy to find - but despite getting lost the host came and met us even though it was late at night, and had pizza for us on arrival - so kind!
The property was amazing! It was so clean and modern with all the amenities you could need. We hired the larger of the 2 properties as there was no-one in the adjoining property so the pool was our exclusive use - this villa is ideal for large families or 2 families/set of friends holidaying together. The village is lovely and quiet. You can walk there in 5 mins and there are a selection of restaurants, a couple of bars, a bakery and at least 2 supermarkets. We went in the last week of the season so it was very quiet and a few places had already closed for the season - but this did not spoil it in anyway...We found you could hire jetskis and boat rides - this we stumbled upon as the sea had been too choppy earlier in the week - great for my older kids.
Valia and Roula were there for us at any time so we never felt alone. The pool was cleaned daily and housekeeping on a Wednesday - with a cake no less!!
We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this location to anyone! It's a great place to get to travel about and explore the beautiful island of Crete. My family and i would for sure be back! Thank you Roula and Valia...Jan and family...

Brilliant!!!!!
The house was incredible and had everything you could wish for: views, pool, great beds and pillows, bbq, short walk to beach (5mins), short walk to shops (5mins) and restaurants. Relaxing little village with cute shops and restaurants. The owners are lovely and hugely accommodating. They left us a sweet gift basket of fruits, snacks, wine when we arrived and a lovely cake partway through just because. If we needed anything they were there in moments. Overall just fantastic.

Unforgettable villa and experience !
This villa is the dream villa: modern, bright, new, clean, with all the right amenities and high end appliances. U won't miss anything. They even provide u with a juicer and panini machine. The view of the pool and seasight is breathtaking.
Service is awesome: cleaning ladies come twice a week. Towels and beach towels are changed.
The owners are extra sweet people, just like the rest of people in Crete.
Crete is a gorgeous island with mountain and sea views.
You can't go wrong with this villa. Overall, from the agent whom we booked the villa with to our whole stay there, everything was worth the money!

Stunning says it all !
A beautiful villa in a very convenient location on the edge of Panormo with lovely views of the sea.
The villa was immaculate and air conditioned when we arrived with a basket of local goodies in each kitchen.
Linen and towels were very good quality as were the furnishings inside and out. Cleaners came in twice a week which was a brilliant service.
The pool was amazing and kept beautifully clean which was great as we used it so much.
The villa has been designed very well and worked brilliantly for the 13 of us .
It really was a home from home for the 2 weeks we were there and the owners made sure that we had everything that we needed to enhance our stay. We would love to go again another time.

a beautiful new villa in a fishing village near larger towns and interesting sites
This is a perfect villa for a family vacation. The villa is beautifully furnished with contemporary Italian furniture and has views of the sea and its own pool. The villa is actually a spectacular duplex, each unit with its own kitchen, dining room, living room, bedrooms, and bathrooms. So, the family had a lot of space to rest after an active day. It's location allowed for daily swims at Bali, visits to interesting inland villages like Margarites and archeological sites, and close enough to hike on Mt. Ida. We had eight family members, and we did all those things and more. The villa is in a picturesque fishing village; so, people could go into town for meal or a coffee independent of a car. The owner, Roula, is incredibly kind and thoughtful. It was an amazing vacation!

Beautiful villa in a fantastic location
Mrs Roula and her son were waiting for us upon arrival and were very welcoming. They went out of their way to accommodate our family and party of 3 young children. The villa is split in to two houses which worked well for our party and each house has all the modern amenities you could need. The villa is in a fantastic location with less than a 10minute walk to the beach and wonderful restaurants. The bakery in the village is a must.

Amazing villa, great location
This villa is superb - it's brand new (or at least seems like it for sure), extremely clean, with all amenities included, even a solid nespresso machine and a water distiller. It's very spacious and the layout is perfect for a large group (there were 13 of us total and it was perfect). The pool is nice and at night it lights up and gives out a really cool blue light, serving as an additional lighting of the space around. We liked that the villa was located close to the beach and the village, yet far enough from all the neighbors, so we were able to play music loud enough. The owner is a very nice lady, she welcomed us with a gift basket of some local food and was always responsive to all our questions, if such arose.
All in all, a great experience!

not suitable for smaller groups
We booked this place for a bit of space and luxury, assuming it was a 6 bedroom villa, which was divided into two interconnected living areas. Its in fact two completely separate apartments (4 and 2 bedrooms). There is no access between apartments via the property or veranda. The only access is via the path around the swimming pool. As we were travelling as a single family of 4, it meant we ended up paying for a second property we had no ease of access to or practical use of. Really needs to be much clearer in the advert (the headline, pictures and facilities description), as would not had booked.

Excellent villa
We were a family of seven, including teenagers and grandparents, who visited Panorma in July. The villa was excellent for our family and our vacation. We had a rental car for the full period of our stay, as we like to travel around, but that was not necessary. The villa is very close (we walked down in 10 minutes) to the very nice little village of Panorma, and we could buy food and go to restuarants there. We found several very nice places to eat. There where also a few nice beaches in the village. It is also near to rethymno, and we had several trips to this beautiful town. The villa was brand new when we stayed there. It is split in two apartments, which is very good when we are a lot of people in different ages staying in the house. Both the interior and the exterior were beautiful. The sun-beds were in particular very good. Coming from Norway, we need good cooling in the house, and the air-condition was working very well. In addition, we had very good help from our hosts who helped us with several requests during our stay. We felt very welcome and everybody wanted us to have the best holiday ever.

Very nice high-end villa
The villa was built 2016 and has a nice and modern interior and exterior. The bedrooms are nice as well as the bathrooms which all are big and has showers. The villa is divided in two separate apartments with a big kitchen in each one. We chose to just use one of them. All rooms has balconys and there are two big areas with tables where up to 14 people can have dinner. The pool is fresh and has a nice temperature. The service was good and if we missed anthing or had any question we got help right away. I really recommend Villa Eolia.
