Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Panormos in Rethymno

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

We had a wonderful stay at the villa, starting with a warm welcome on our first night. Antonis’ mother kindly prepared a thoughtful dinner for us, which was especially appreciated since we arrived late and didn’t have time to go out for food. He was also incredibly attentive and made it clear we could reach out to him anytime with questions or needs. Throughout our stay, he provided us with great recommendations on what to see and do in the area, which really enhanced our trip. The villa also featured a lovely outdoor pizza oven, and they generously provided us with pizza dough, firewood, and everything we needed to enjoy it. They even made sure we had everything we needed for a barbecue. Overall, it was a fantastic experience thanks to their hospitality and thoughtful touches.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in der Unterkunft. Die Wohnung war sehr gut ausgestattet, in der Küche war alles was man zum kochen benötigt, es gab sogar Kinderspielsachen und Equipment für den Strand. Alles war total sauber und der Kontakt zu Efi war sehr freundlich. Den Garten haben wir sehr gerne genutzt und auch den Grill dort. Vielen Dank, für die schöne Zeit, die wir dort verbringen konnten.

Mai 2025, 10 Nächte Aufenthalt zu dritt (2 Erwachsene, 1 Kleinkind). Die Villa ist wirklich traumhaft. Wunderschöner Blick aufs Meer und die Bucht. Sie bietet sehr viel Platz auch für mehr Personen (2 Paare, 4-6 Freunde, 2 Familien) und für längere Aufenthalte (Stauraum, Schränke und Regale, etc.). Die Ausstattung entspricht der Beschreibung und bietet, auch in der Küche, alles was man brauchen kann. Unser Highlight war die überdachte Terrasse. Unser Flug wurde kurzfristig vorverlegt. Ein deutlich früherer Check-In war in unserem Fall überhaupt kein Problem. Stelios ist ein sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter und engagierter Gastgeber. Wir empfehlen Ihn und seine Villa ohne Einschränkung weiter. Kleine Einschränkung: die Unterkunft ist etwas ab vom Schuss bzw. die Region ist etwas zersiedelt (hauptsächlich wegen der Geographie des Geländes). Ohne eigenes Auto wird es etwas schwierig unserer Meinung nach. Einen kostenfreien Parkplatz direkt am Haus gibt es aber.

Very nice modern house (less than five years old?) overlooking the sea. Everything in very good working order, including powerful air conditioning in the bedrooms. Frequent cleaning of the pool area was a benefit, particularly when a storm had come in the night before. Very convenient to Rethymno as well as to several bakeries and restaurants towards the centre of the island.

Wir waren das erste Mal in diesem Ferienhaus, wurden sehr freundlich von Magda empfangen, dass Haus war sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet, entsprach so wie wir es uns erwartet haben. Magda war immer erreichbar, wenn wir was benötigten. das Haus wurde jeden 3 Tag geputzt. Der Pool war ausreichend groß (ca. 3 x 5m) Es wäre noch schön gewesen, wenn das nötigste in der Küche wie, Backpapier, Zewa und event. ein paar Gewürze vorhanden gewesen wäre, die Betten sind etwas sehr hart, die Umgebung ist sehr laut, da sich gleich die Hauptstrasse hier befindet.

Ce logement est incroyable! Cleopatra nous a reçu en personne, avec des présents pour nous. Elle nous a présenté le logement avec passion, nous a emmené sur la charmante petite place du village, expliqué les diverses activités et spots environnants. la vue depuis LES terrasses est à couper le souffle (vue plongeante sur la mer depuis les hauteurs). la maison est parfaitement équipée, il y a plus de salle de bains que de chambres. La situation géographique est idéale pour visiter toute la zone centre sud de l île, que l on chercher le calme et l authenticité. pour de plats typiques et pas cher, rdv à la taverna Platia sur la petite place pleine de charme du village. Dommage que l on ne puisse mettre que 5 étoiles maximum! Nous reviendrons, c est promis.

Harry was super friendly and provided us with lots of useful recommendations such as places to go and things to do. He was always happy to answer any questions we had and got back to us quickly. We were able to rent a car directly from Harry, he also picked us up from the airport and drove us to the property, which we found really helpful. There is a steep driveway to the property but Harry’s car made it easy. He showed us around the lovely Airbnb on our arrival and he also dropped us back at the airport after checking out. The Airbnb itself is amazing! We loved the outdoor space with the fantastic views, lounging by the pool and cooking in the outdoor oven. It is so calm and quiet, just what we needed. The local town provides a mini market and fuel just a few minutes drive away. With decent restaurants only 5 minutes away. A large supermarket was about 20 minutes away. So you are in a secluded spot but with plenty of amenities easy to get to. Highly recommended, many thanks Harry!

Elena ist eine nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Wir konnten uns jederzeit bei ihr melden, haben sehr schnell Rückmeldungen bekommen und sie hat sich um unser Wohlbefinden in der Unterkunft erkundigt. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet und man hat seine Privatsphäre. Sie sieht genauso aus wie auf den Bildern. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Man benötigt ein Auto, um Aktivitäten zu unternehmen. Wir können die Unterkunft und Elena als Gastgeberin nur weiterempfehlen! ☺️

Thank you so much for a lovely holiday in your beautiful apartment, we loved it! The apartment is just like the photos with the view from the balcony absolutely fantastic. We loved walking down the steps and straight onto the beach for a swim each day. Such a wonderful location. The apartment itself was perfect too, well equipped with everything we needed and extras, comfortable and clean- we felt very at home. Excellent hosts, thank you!

Het was een perfecte plek! George en familie waren erg gastvrij! Onze dochter mocht zelfs even boven spelen met zijn kinderen! Appartement was mooi, ruim en erg schoon! Met grote balkons (met een fantastisch uitzicht) en een ruime tuin die perfect was voor onze 4 jarige dochter. Van de tuin kregen we sla, eieren, schapenmelk en olijfolie. In de buurt snel bij het strand, lekkere restaurantjes en wandelroutes. Voor herhaling vatbaar! Wij hebben genoten :).

Wir haben drei Nächte in der Wohnung verbracht. Wir wurden persönlich empfangen und erhielten gleich ein paar nützliche Informationen zur Wohnung. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet. Es gibt alle notwendigen Küchenutensilien, das Bad enthielt Seife, Duschel etc. Sehr praktisch waren außerdem die Strandtücher und der bereitgelegte Insektenschutz. Der schönste Platz der Wohnung ist die Terrasse mit zwei gemütlichen Sesseln und Blick aufs Meer, wo wir uns hauptsächlich aufgehalten haben.

Vi kom svært sent men ble tatt hjertelig i mot av Marias skjønne mor, med hjemmelaget kake og varm velkomst. Flott leilighet 2 min fra stranden med veldig hyggelig strandbar og solstoler. Privat parkering ved leiligheten, butikker og alt en trenger i nabolaget. Buss inn til Rethymnon rett over gata. Maria var svært hjelpsom med anbefalinger og annet, og fulgte opp underveis i oppholdet. Kunne ikke hatt en bedre husvert. Vi kommer så gjerne tilbake, og anbefaler stedet til andre.

Our family had a wonderful time here. The room was perfect and spacious for our family and everything we needed. The little play set outside entertained the kids a lot and is steps from the beach and excellent restaurants. We had a wonderful time!

We loved our stay at the Alice Villa. Location is truly fantastic for shopping and loads of restaurants. We spent quite a bit of time at the villa when the weather wasn’t the greatest and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you Marianna for the wonderful hospitality and the gifts. Have to mention the people we met in the restaurants and on the streets, soooo friendly. We were very sad to leave. Could’ve stayed a lot Longer. Book it, youll love it. Until next time.

We had an amazing time at this lovely place. The view from the balcony is absolutely spectacular. And just a short walk down the hill, and you are right by the beach, where you also find some good local taverna. It does get a bit hot in the apartment, but the AC helps. Absolute highlight was the amazing homemade Greek food by host Eleni. Never experienced such hospitality in an Airbnb before! Will definitely visit again!

Wir haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt! Das Haus ist von niemandem einsehbar und man hat einen tollen Blick ins Grüne und aufs Meer. Das Bett ist groß und gemütlich und es gibt in der Küche alles was man braucht. Emma und ihr Vater reagierten sehr schnell auf Nachrichten und waren bei Problemen direkt vor Ort (die Heizung ging eines abends kaputt und direkt am nächsten Morgen haben es die Handwerker repariert). Ein besonderer Luxus war die Reinigung alle 3 Tage und nette Willkommens- und Abschiedsgeschenke. Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt und kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder! :)

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

We had a fantastic time. The villa is stunning and had just been freshly renovated. Everything about it is designed to maximize the beautiful views, the airflow, peace and tranquility. The hosts were communicative, kind and generous with flexible check-in and out. The fantastic pool area, stonework, bathrooms, kitchen, linens, sauna/steamroom, washer & dryer, game room -- all were top quality. This was easily the most beautiful AirBnb we have ever stayed in. It was a good home base for exploring Crete. We were also happy to save one day for relaxing at the villa. We were only a family of four, and the villa could have easily held twice as many. Would love to return one day. Made wonderful memories here.

Villa Pantelis is a beautiful house in the village of Eleftherna. It is located on high ground and the views in all directions are special - most of all the view all the way to the Mediterranean sea! The house has lovely flower gardens and a quiet terrace for every time of the day and all weathers. The Swimmingpool is beautifully clean and refreshing on a hot day - plenty of lounging furniture for all. The local swallows try their best to keep it free from insects when flying closely over the water. Maria and Tasos greeted us with their own honey, wine and Raki as well as lots of fresh fruit. Maria came every morning, watering her flowers, cleaning the terraces if needed and making sure we had everything we needed, they really looked after us! We had a lovely meal at the taverna in Eleftherna - delicious, healthy and not expensive. We visited Rethymno, ca 30 min drive, arkadi monastery, ca 15 min drive, the archeological museum of Eleftherna, 20 min walk. A perfect holiday!!

Sunshine Villa is the perfect place to stay for 2 people. The views are stunning, the pool crystal clear, the accomodation stylish and comfortable. Before and while we were there the communication with Kostas was excellent. Thy recommended restaurants (also making reservations) and local places to shop. Their responses were quick and helpful. I would highly recommend staying at Sunshine Villa and look forward to returning.

Das Haus besticht durch seine großen Fenster, die einen wunderschönen Blick auf das Meer ermöglichen.vor allen Fenstern verschiebbare Fliegengitter, sodass auch bei 40 Grad Außentemperatur ein gutes Raumklima herrschte.Ein Highlight war der Sternenhimmel, den wir auf der Matratze auf der Terrasse( unter sicherem Moskitonetz) genießen konnten.Federico hat uns jeden morgen mit frischen Eiern, Ziegenjoghurt sowie Honig und Olivenöl bestens versorgt. Der Umgang war ausgesprochen freundlich und seine Tipps waren ausgezeichnet. Insbesondere die Taverne Agios Georgios , ein bisschen individuell, flower power und mit hervorragender Küche werden wir vermissen.

Stayed in a lot of villas however this definitely stands out from the rest, great plot of land next to the sea with amazing views of the sunset. The fire pit feature makes this villa very special. Nikos is a great host. provided good hospitality with local produce and drinks on arrival. We arrived late and still received a warm welcome with no issues. Will return to this villa in the future.

The villa was outstanding, the pictures really do not do it justice. Perfect location & absolutely lovely. Matthaios was a brilliant host , aided by Rena, who was lovely. We had one small problem which Matthaios sorted out immediately. Thank you. We felt very looked after. The welcome basket contained Rena's fantastic homemade cakes & biscuits & utterly delicious olive oil, along with other local treats. We had such a brilliant stay we will be back for sure. Thank you.
