“We look forward to returning”
Beautiful and spacious town house. Perfect location a very short walk to all the tavernas and shops. Panormos is a gorgeous little town with a couple of lovely beaches on your doorstep. Fantastic pool area that is even better than the photos as it's been newly renovated.

“Exceptional”
Beautiful, modern, stylish apartment with lots of thoughtful extra touches. Everything was kept spotlessly clean with bedding and towels changed regularly. The apartments are in a sunny, quiet location just 2 mins walk from the village centre and beach. It is the loveliest apartment we have ever stayed in. Manolis was an excellent host, he kept us updated before arrival with directions and later with map links to the best beaches and sights to explore. Crete is stunning and Panormos village is charming, we had a wonderful holiday.

Very nice and comfortable villa - just what we needed. Everything was super clean, sheets/towels were changed every second day if you wished (we decided to save the water and nature and agreed different schedule with the host). Communication with host Manolis was very fluent and and easy through WhatsApp. When we arrived there were some local snacks, honey and raki left for us - small however nice gesture. There are some friendly local cats - so please remember to buy them some cat food :) Panormo is very nice village to stay - big enought to choose between different restaurants and small enough to feel cosy and has as well some local charm additional to nice beaches!

“Panormos is a treasure and Philoxenia is a jewel.”
The location, the ambience, the beautiful building - and the wonderful roof terrace reached by a spiral staircase. This is a very special place, and Manolis is a warm and interested host. The cleaning is exceptional too.

Location excellent with parking. In gorgeous village Panormos with many quaint eateries 2 min walk away. The Villa was new well equipped with everything you may need . Large lounge with comfy sofa, full size fridge, WMach, great terrace upstairs with water views and seating. Bed very comfy and includes cleaning( the lady was lovely) and Manolis as a host is excellent.

A great place - huge apartment, new and very clean. The location is excellent - close to the beach and to the village center. Panormos itself is a great base to explore this part of Crete. It's peaceful and quiet, yet large enough to have a decent choice of tavernas and sea side fish restaurants. Manolis who runs the place is very attentive and responsive to every question, and welcomed us with refreshments and Raki :-)

“Nice property let down by unadvertised rules and creepy staff.”
The accommodation is presented and appointed as the photos show which is very good. The wifi is good and the local town is fabulous.

“Perfect accomodation for our holidays with our 2 daughters 13 and 17 years old.”
The Service was like in the Hotel. We got. extra towles for the pool or beach. The Equipment in the kitchen was sufficient for our needs. The way to the Beach is 1min.

“do i recommend the accommodation? yes a million times”
Everything was great. We arrived a couple hours before check-in, we were kindly greeted, Manolis told about everything, offered to leave our luggage and we could even use the pool while waiting. The conditions were excellent, everything was new, there were all facilities, we felt like at home. They met us with a lot of Greek goodies, which was very nice after the road. Cleaning was done every two days, a very nice woman, thanks to her. If we come back to Crete, we would stay there again, thank you for everything.

“Perfect stay!”
The villa was spotless and cleaned every other day. Linens changed too! Great location in middle of village but quiet at night. The grounds surrounding the villas were spotless too.
