“A luxurious, well-appointed villa in a great location, ideal for families of all ages.”

All we can say is WOW – this villa truly exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how spacious, beautifully presented and incredibly well-equipped it was. In fact, the photos really don’t do it justice – it’s even more impressive in person. We stayed as a family of nine (six adults and three children aged 1, 14, and 16) to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday, and it was the perfect setting. There was more than enough room for everyone, and the large outdoor space – especially the grassed area – was ideal for the children to play safely and happily. The location in the charming fishing village of Panormos was just perfect. You’ve got a lovely selection of supermarkets, restaurants, and bars all within easy walking distance, and the whole area has a relaxed, welcoming feel. We also took a taxi to Rethymno (about 25 minutes away) for a change of pace – it’s well worth a visit. One of the kids highlights was spending the day at Baja Beach Club in Rethymno, which we’d definitely recommend if you're looking for a beach day with a touch of luxury. Special mention must go to our wonderful host, Manolis, who was fantastic from start to finish. He was always on hand to answer any questions, made us feel so welcome, and kindly arranged for us to check in early – which made a big difference after a long journey. In summary: a luxurious, well-appointed villa in a great location, ideal for families of all ages, with a truly exceptional host. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a special place to stay in Crete.

Wow wow wow. We have just returned from a week at Lagoon Seaside Villa and were blown away. The villa is stunning and exceeded our expectations. Manolis, our host, was welcoming, attentive and had thought of every small detail. The villa had everything you could need and more. We travelled as a multi-generational group and the villa was particularly well equipped for our two children (aged 3 and 1) - there were baby toiletries, stair gates, high chair, toys, a baby bath, children’s plates, cutlery, bib, just everything you could think of. The location was ideal, the village of Panormos is very pretty with plenty of cafes, restaurants, bars and supermarkets - everything you need is within walking distance.

“Fantastic property, great location, awesome facilities.”

Stunning property, lots of attention to detail, fantastic host, eveything you could think of or possibly need. Panormos is a great spot, quiet but lots of choice for eating out. The perfect place for a holiday.

“The best villa we've stayed in - we would definitely recommend it.”

The host Manolis was very welcoming and friendly, and the food and drink welcome pack provided was greatly appreciated.

“Is was really nice for a family vaccation”

Super Host - Manolis is very service minded. Toys and practical things for the children. Nice pool and very close to the ocean and the cosy little town and habour

“An exceptional villa, holiday, position and a delightful owner. We will go back.”

Our stay at the Lagoon Seaside Villa was superb! Our family of 3 generations consisted of 6 adults and a 2 year old and there was absolutely nothing more we could have asked for as everything had been thought of and supplied. Manolis, the owner, met us at the villa he was so helpful and charming throughout our stay nothing seemed too much trouble and he always had a smile on his face. He gave us excellent advice regarding restaurants and the local amenities. An excellent welcome package of food and drinks was awaiting our arrival, the villa was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean and all the facilities shown in the photographs were even better in reality. The items available for our granddaughter were amazing: a pushchair, baby listening device, plastic bowls, plates & cutlery, a bib, a potty, stairgates, a rubber ring & arm bands for the swimming pool and so much more together with the amazing garden play equipment. The position of the villa is perfect. It was an easy short stroll into town (almost a village) where there is an excellent new bakery, several restaurants (we can recommend the Locus Deli Restaurant), small supermarkets and a handful of tourist shops. The beach was even closer or you can walk down further to the tiny harbour for some sea view restaurants, also accessible from the town. Manolis and his wife were so kind at the end of our stay they gave our pregnant daughter and partner a gift for the baby and also a jigsaw for our Granddaughter. We loved it so much that we intend to go back and that is the highest praise of all!

“A wonderful villa which met the needs of six adults and four children aged from two to six years”

Excellent position within the village. Very easy to get to all the amenities. Liked the layout as it provided us with private areas and areas where we could be together as an extended family. The small children loved the garden and the swings and climbing frame which they used every morning and in the evenings when it was cool.The kitchen area was very well equipped and the welcomed pack was very thoughtful and generous. All the bathrooms were superb, the beds comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. The pool was excellent and everywhere was spotlessly clean and well-maintained.
