Villa was fantastic and I don’t think the pictures do it justice. We were 10 adults and used all 6 of the bedrooms - everyone was happy. Facilities, location and pool were ideal. And the staff could not have done more for us - Valia responded to advance questions within minutes usually; Dimitri was very quick to resolve the few minor teething problems; and Irene and the rest of the cleaning team were so friendly. Panormos is a lovely little town and if you are visiting in a group then I would totally recommend Thalassa Residence. I hope we can visit again next year!

Exactly what we were looking for! Great spacious, high spec villa and still within walking distance to charming town with good amenities. Highly enjoyed by all

My family and I stayed at this wonderful house in Panormo for 2 weeks earlier this month. There were 9 of us so this 6 bedroom villa was perfect. The villa is set apart from other houses and condos, so there was never a problem with loud noises emanating from surrounding areas. Communication with Valia before our arrival was excellent. In addition to working out arrangements with the villa, she was also able to assist us with transfers to and from the villa and rental cars, as well as tours and other excursions. She always responded promptly to our inquiries. Upon our arrival at the villa, we met with Dimitris, who showed us around and explained how everything worked. The villa is on 3 floors: the ground floor with a front entryway, kitchen, 2 king size bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and open dining room/living room combo. Both the kitchen and living room had sliding glass doors that allowed us to create a wonderful indoor outdoor space to enjoy. The breezes off the ocean were nice and cool and the sound of the surf crashing onto the rocks was a pleasant, relaxing sound. The basement contained a large game room with pool table, a dining room table, a large sectional couch situated in front of a wall mounted television, and a king bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The upper floor contained 3 more king bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and balconies. All three floors were serviced by an elevator, which we put to good use in hauling our luggage. During our 2 week stay, there were some minor issues but they were dealt with promptly by communicating with Valia and Dimitris. We thought the full trash bags were to be placed in the garage and removed by the housekeepers but that never happened. After a week, we were forced to transport the trash to a local dumpster because of the malodor. Upon reporting this to Valia, it was explained that the trash was to be placed beside the front gate so the pool man could remove it. Also, the second time the housekeepers cleaned the house, the floors were not cleaned properly and used towels were left in the bathroom. Once I notified Valia of the issue, Dimitris immediately came to the villa and told us that he would have the housekeepers return the next day and do a more thorough job, which they did. He also brought us ice cream and a locally made phyllo pastry, which we really enjoyed. The only disappointment was we were unable to watch the British Open on TV. There are only a few english speaking channels.

This villa was a perfect place for our group of 6 friends. Apart from being absolutely beautiful, it was kept immaculately clean. The rooms are all excellent, as well as the bathrooms. Best of all, the property manager Dimitri and the cleaning crew were incredibly charming, helpful, had great recommendations and we felt like family by the end of the week. Valia was attentive to our every need. Like with every villa, there were a couple of hiccups but they were addressed immediately. It is convenient to walk to the town of Panormo with many restaurants and shops. Don't miss having dinner at George and Georgia's...a great restaurant. Kostas was excellent as well. We had the private chef come cook at the house and it was interesting and delicious. Thanks for a great time!

Everything about this property was fabulous. From the moment we entered the property we knew we had made the right choice, it was simply spectacular! The villa is exactly as described but even better than the photos and everything worked to perfection. It's a very luxurious villa in a lovely traditional village with beach, bars, restaurants and mini markets within walking distance. The communication with Valia, prior to and during our stay was exceptional going above and beyond our expectations. Valia made many recommendations for car hire, restaurants and beach clubs and took care of our reservations. All were amazing! Five stars from us!

This villa has the wow factor - from the moment you enter the door, the glass floors and stair case look amazing, the lift is an added touch of luxury (even plays music !) and the kitchen and living areas do not disappoint. Bedrooms are all superb and live up to the photos. Outside space is huge and overlooks the surrounding sea and hills. The pool is lovely and there is a huge hot tub. However, we cannot avoid pointing out the issues we faced and had to request to be fixed - the hot tub was not working, the infinity pool was not overflowing, outside lights were not working, two sunbeds broken, broken parasol, wasps nest under kids climbing frame, sun loungers stained and faded. Dimitri the handyman was great, and resolved these issues as quickly as he could. However, we had 5 days of various workmen at the villa while these were resolved. What is disappointing most is that these issues were there when we arrived, it should not have taken us to snag the villa and point them out, and have workmen all over the place for more than half our stay.

We had a fantastic week in the Thalassa Residence. The outside space is fantastic and great for large groups.

We have stayed in a lot of 5 star properties in the last 5 years. This property is the best house that we have stayed in. The cleaners were really lovely and couldn’t do enough to help you. Nothing was too much trouble for the manager and the cleaners. I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Fantastisk hus med masser af m2 og udendørs område.

Great place for a large group. House and views are both beautiful. Walking distance to Panormo, a pretty village with a good selection of local restaurants, beaches and shops.

Our party of 9 (4 adults, 5 adult children) spent a spectacular week at this house. This house is exactly what the pictures show. There is some natural landscape right below the pool - it isn't right on the water. You just have to appreciate the natural Crete landscape. (We didn't consider this a negative.) The house was so well equipped for us to make meals in the kitchen or on the grill. We all enjoyed the infinity pool to read, sunbathe, and play games as well as view the Mediterranean Sea/Sea of Crete. The pool decking was not hot to our feet even if the temperature was really high. We never felt crowded in the house because it was so spacious. We felt totally safe in the area and in the house. Beautiful sunrises as well as sunsets were visible from the pool deck. My only concern might be for very young children or elderly people because the stairs were marble and could be slippery. Some staples (such as coffee, milk, bread, sugar, fresh fruit, etc) were left for us. It was very nice! Closest large grocery was in Rethymnon (about 25 minutes to the west) and smaller markets in Perama. A two minute walk to the beautiful, rugged shore let us relax in some protected coves. We could easily walk to the Panomos village for shopping or meals. The town was built up enough to have both, but it isn't crowded nor overly touristy. We had 2 small issues (grill out of gas and hot water pump not working), but they were fixed so fast! The house manager was so attentive and nice. Recommended restaurants: Porto Parasiris and Captain's House Things to do: JoyRide.Bike (Panormos), Discovery Safaris - 4 wheelers/buggies in the back country (Rethymnon), Paraschakis olive oil tour (Meldoni area) It was a wonderful week in Crete!

nous avons passé un superbe séjour. la maison est très belle et rien ne manque. tout est conforme au descriptif. le personnel est très sympa. je recommande la location de cette maison.

We were a group of friends, including adults and children, staying in May 2018. The Villa is absolutely stunning, really comfortable beds, great location and such friendly helpful hosts. The whole place has been really well thought out. I would recommend this villa to anyone, we loved it.

Läget på bostaden är utmärkt. En kort trevlig promenad in till den lilla charmiga byn Panormo som har några trivsamma restauranger, en del med fantastisk utsikt över den lilla hamnen och det glittrande medelhavet. Här finns också en slaktare , några souvenirshoppar och några mindre livsmedelsaffärer där man kan hitta allt man kan behöva. Husvärden är mycket hjälpsam och positiv - ingentingär omöjligt och städningen varannan dag perfekt. En mycket trevlig chef med hustru lagade några superba middagar i vårt hus.

We have enjoyed this beautiful and exceptionally well maintained villa, which is rightly described as a "luxury villa". Everything is lovingly designed and well thought out. Both the spacious house, as well as the beautiful terrace are as described in the pictures - perhaps even a bit nicer. The alarm system ensures a secure feeling. Glass floors, elevator, sauna, sports equipment, billiard table, wonderful highlights. The large terrace, with a view of the large pool (at night beautifully lit) and the sea, ensure pure relaxation. The jacuzzi whirlpool (also - with nice colored lights and different jacuzzi settings) was fun, relaxed by day and night. Also for us was the fridge with plenty of water and some food stuffed and a large offer fresh top stand on the kitchen island ready. Mr. Dimitries, who gave us a very nice welcome and explained the house, was always available for us. Panormos is a rather sleepy hamlet, with a smaller beach, but there are other beaches that can be reached by car. We had rented an audi a 3 cabrio (best cars) at valia kokkinou, thinkvilla, who had sent us all the sights and addresses beforehand, and it all worked out wonderfully. We were at the airport Heraklion International Airport from a co-worker from best cars picked up and could start the holiday already on the approx. 50 min ride to the villa, the sea smell and see en the mountains. The way to the villa is actually very easy, the road is well developed. In panormos our GPS was very helpful. Also the transfer of the rental car on our departure went without problems and the departure, even in the morning at 07: 15h was somehow still holiday, because it was warm enough to open and we could enjoy the morning sun, the mountains and the sea until the end. This holiday was so relaxing and nice that we would gladly have extended a week - unfortunately it was already booked - but we will come back.

Fantastische plek , prachtig huis van alle comfort voorzien en in een hele fijne omgeving . Zeer vriendelijk contactpersoon , ( manager van het huis ) die voor alle vragen altijd bereikbaar was . We hebben het fantastisch gehad en komen graag nog eens terug .

We have just returned from a fantastic week at Thalassa Residence. Every aspect of this villa far exceeded any of our expectations. Valia, the letting agent, was exceptionally helpful and immediately allayed any concerns you can sometimes have booking through an internet agent. Prior to our trip, we received all the information we could require about the villa and the local area and excellent recommendations for local car hire and airport transfer. We arrived at the villa with very tired children, very late at night and were greeted by the letting manager Mr Dimitris and the villa owner, Manolo. They had left us a very well stocked welcome hamper so we had everything we needed for the first few days. The spec on the villa is outstanding. The pictures are exactly how the villa is... except reality is better. The views are unbelievable and sunset sitting on the terrace is just beautiful. We were exceptionally well looked after by Mr Dimitris. He made sure every aspect of our stay was trouble free and very enjoyable and was on hand for anything we required. Manolo treated us like family, his hospitality and care for small details were unexpected and gratefully received. Our children were delighted with the pool and toys provided. The games room downstairs was a great escape from the midday sun. The family pool tournament on the full sized table was enjoyable, even for those who lost. We did not find it necessary to try the sauna, but the gym equipment was utilised. The position of the villa means that there is a constant breeze making even the hottest days pleasant. The local town Panormos is charming and only a genuine 10 minute walk away. We found some very nice authentic Cretan cuisine there. The lovely town of Rethymno is only 20 minute drive if you require more choice and the harbour there has some good restaurants. Swimming / snorkelling on the pebbly beach just below the villa is also lovely as the local beaches can be quite busy. We really can't think of any negatives/improvements that would have made our stay more enjoyable. We really did not want to leave and will be back next year without a doubt! Please note there is some minor development work in the area however this did not in any way affect our time at the villa. Highly recommended.
