The house is very luxurious and well equipped. Good maintenance also of the swimming pool.
The information at arrivals about carbage, bins, bottles and cans was lacking. There were no dishclothes, needed despite the dishwasher.
The number of veer glasses was limited for large groups.
Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay!

Our family of 11 met from the UK, Australia and Denmark to celebrate a 60th birthday. First impressions excellent, hire car company suitable, transfers to and from Airport very good, all recommended by the owner of the Villa(lovely Lady). Only criticism I have is the pool is slightly small and with a party of eleven, if you all wanted to all sit around the tables inside and out for dinner it was a squeeze. Overall loved it! Easy reach to the beach, local store. Car definitely required!

Have just come back from a week in the start of June and we all had an amazing time.
The villa is huge which allows for everyone to have there own personal space and also allows everyone to sit together.
We had 12 adults in the villa with everyone having access to the best bedrooms throughout.
Pool a perfect size and the sun shines from morning to afternoon at all times.
Bbq and pizza oven are easy to use and make fantastic dinners but if you don’t fancy cooking there is a brilliant take away company provided.
About a 20 minute walk to the nearest towns so I would recommend taxis/car which we had. We did walk a couple of times but because of the heat some people might struggle.
Would absolutely come back and Eva was a fantastic host who would be always available for support.

Eindelijk na 2 jaar uitstel vanwege corona, zijn we met onze kinderen en kleinkinderen in villa Dimitrios geweest. Alles zag netjes en schoon uit. De tuin is prachtig, het zwembad was wel koud. We hebben erg veel in het buiten verblijf gezeten, de BBQ gebruikt, super gezellig. De kinderen konden fijn spelen in de tuin, ook fijn dat er NETFLIX op de tv is om de kinderen zoet te houden. Een van onze zoons ging elke morgen op de loopband in de fitness.
De slaap en woonkamers zijn luxe en mooi ingericht. De keukens zijn goed uitgerust, jammer dat de vaatwasser boven is. In de grote badkamer is douchen in het bad niet zo prettig, kraan en sproeier zijn wel aan vervanging toe. We hebben 2x gebruik gemaakt van de kook service van Mrs Soula, was erg goed en lekker. Het contact met Eva en Valia was prima, als we iets nodig hadden appten we en het werd geregeld. Het weer was heerlijk, smiddags gingen we naar strandje bij de haven, lekker dichtbij.
Genoten van eten in de Tavernes, het was een heerlijk verblijf op Kreta.

Great stay in a lovely villa
We had a very nice week in Villa Dimtrios. The house was very clean and well equipped. The pool is lovely. We had a lot of BBQ's in the outside area. Nearly every room had an own A/C.
During our stay, the dishwasher stopped working. After a short message, the handyman brought a brand new one and installed it. Amazing!
Thanks!

Brilliant Holiday
We had a brilliant stay at Dimitrios Villa. The communication with Valia and Eva was first class. They couldn’t have been more helpful. Eva made a wonderful moussaka which was very much appreciated. The Villa was superb and we can’t wait to return.

Alles war perfekt!
Valia und Eva sind sehr nett und kompetent. Das Haus und das Grundstück sind sehr sauber und man fühlt sich sehr wohl dort. Es ist genug Platz für große Gruppen und wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt dort. Eva, die Hausbesitzerin kümmert sich bestens um ihre Gäste und auch die Vermietung des Autos über Valia hat wunderbar geklappt. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Immer wieder gerne
Ich schreibe hier zum ersten Mal in 27 Jahren eine Online Bewertung da dies normalerweise nicht meins ist. Hier ist es aber zwingend notwendig. Ich habe lange nicht mehr eine so herzliche Gastfreundlichkeit erfahren wie von Eva. Sie hat uns super herzlich empfangen hat uns zwischenzeitlich Mousakka vorbei gebracht und war jederzeit erreichbar wenn wir irgendwelche fragen hatten oder zb einen Standpunkt eines Supermaktes gebraucht haben. Zum Haus brauche ich denke ich nicht viel sagen denn die Bilder sollten für sich sprechen. Ich kann jedem nur wärmstes empfehlen hier einmal hinzureisen es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Nochmal schöne Grüße und besten Dank für alles. Leon Louise Janis Marco Christian und Marcel

Great time
The villa was wonderful and had everything to meet our needs. The only disappointment was that the jacuzzi was not warm. The location was good although as it was at the very end of the season a lot of restaurants and shops were closed in the local villages but as long as you have a car this is not a major problem

Prima accomodatie. Keurige ontvangst en boodschappenservice vanwege de late aankomst.
Alle lof voor de gang van zaken. Vriendelijke ontvangst, met een boodschappen pakket, geregeld vanwege de late aankomst. Later nog verrast met een traditioneel gerecht, gekookt door onze gastvrouw. Perfecte villa voor een fijne vakantie.
Ook een hele goede service van de plaatselijke agent.

Merveilleuses vacances
Nous étions 3 générations d’une même famille, 6 adultes et 5 enfants de 4 à 11 ans. La villa est superbe, suffisamment grande pour que chacun se sente à l’aise. Le ménage et le changement de linge sont faits dans la plus grande discrétion. Le jardin et la piscine sont très bien entretenus. Tout est parfait. Un seul regret: 3 semaines c’est encore trop court !
Un grand merci à Eva pour son accueil malgré l’heure tardive, pour sa disponibilité et sa gentillesse naturelle.
Excellent rapport qualité /prix pour un séjour inoubliable !

Fabulous villa and gardens.
Villa Dimitrios was everything it promised to be. Beautiful rooms and excellent facilities and particularly comfy beds! Eva was very friendly, helpful and hospitable. We had a wonderful holiday with extended family and found lovely tavernas to eat at in Panormo and Bali as well as enjoying BBQ evenings in the garden room.

Just returned from a fantastic week away at Villa Dimitrios with a family group of 13... had a fabulous time and everyone from 4yr old to the adults loved it and the villa and amenities met all of our needs; living space, swimming pool, loungers & outdoor dining area - Great!
Communication from Valia throughout has been great - can’t fault this and really is what makes the difference and puts your mind at ease.
Thank you very much !

Family villa with great location and outdoor space
Our group of 3 families had a very enjoyable stay at Villa Dimitrios.
The villas was easy to find with the directions provided and it's a short 7 or 8 minute drive to the nearest town where you'll find restaurants and supermarkets (there's a great bakery next to the supermarket on the left as you enter town).
All rooms are a good size. Most rooms have air-conditioning, but those that do not (the 3 bedrooms in the lower ground floor) are adequately cooled by air-con units in the living area.
There is a great outdoor BBQ area with a small gym if you're in the mood for a workout!
Great responsiveness from both the villa owner and agent with questions.
Recommended for families.

Perfect villa with amazing BBQ garden house
We were a group of 11, three generations, two kids, staying one week. The villa was ideal for our purposes and it served well also the kids's needs, with playground, baby-cots, high chairs and the pool. We loved the Crete evenings in the garden house, with bbq and even the pizza-oven. Mrs Eve was most kind and always helpful in everything we asked for. Perama village was nicely nearby, with good variety of supermarkets, groceries, butcher, fish-shop etc. Panormos, lovely Bali beaches and Rethymnon were easily reached by car. We had a lovely stay in the Villa and the sunny island of Crete!

Honeymoon at the lovely Villa Dimitrios
We took our family and friends, totalling 10 adults, to the Villa Dimitrios celebrating our recent wedding.
The villa was fabulous and exceeded our expectations, very well equipped with plenty of room for us all. The outside space was perfect for family fun, al-fresco breakfasts and barbeques.
The information supplied prior to our trip was comprehensive and easy to understand and the directions to locate the Villa were easy to follow. We were warmly welcomed on arrival at the Villa by Miss Eva even though it was in the early hours of the morning.
We hired cars from Best Rentals, who contacted us after our booking, which proved to be simple and cost effective. We would recommend hiring cars as the location was a short drive from the local towns and amenities. Panormo was a charming little town to visit or stay on the beach which became very atmospheric in the evening. The local bakery in Parama was a particular hit for breakfast/brunch trips
We had a wonderful holiday and very much enjoyed spending time at the Villa and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Stunning garden and outdoor facilities
There were 13 of us staying at villa dimitrios for two weeks and we loved it. The villa is beautiful, exactly as you see in the pictures and provided us with wonderful relaxing surroundings. The house is perfectly laid out for big groups of people to have comfort and privacy. The garden with outdoor eating area was lovely and we enjoyed using the pizza oven! Panormos is a lovely little village where the people are so friendly and welcoming. Eva, the owner was lovely and so accommodating and her moussaka was delicious and much appreciated! We would recommend villa dimitrios to anyone wishing to explore the beauty of Crete and we really hope to return in the future! Thank you for a wonderful stay! Alexia and family

Beautiful villa lovely hosts
The villa was beautiful plenty of room the only downside was the two double bedrooms on the middle floor were a bit on the small side and the master bedroom was very large so the planning could have been a bit better. There were 13 of us in all, celebrating my 60th birthday. 3 children aged 1,4 and 6 who loved the pool and garden toys. Two couples in their 30's and 6 of us aged 50+.
Beautifully clean everything worked. Had a problem with the TVs which was quickly rectified ( our problem not theirs, didn't understand the remote)
The jacuzzi was a bonus and lovely on the warm evenings and the moussaka made by the owners was the best we had all holiday.
We would definitely recommend this villa.

Great location for visiting Crete
We spent 6 weeks at Eva and Dimitrios' villa at Panorma and had a great time.
The villa accommodated up to 17 guests and was well maintained - serviced twice a week - , and whenever we had a problem or question Eva or Dimitrios gave it their immediate attention - really a lovely and obliging couple.
The villa is a 5 minute drive from the beach and well situated for touring other parts of Crete. It had everything that was described in the listing
It is certainly a place that we would like to return to and can highly recommend it to potential visitors.

A warm welcome in luxurious surroundings
We had a wonderful time in this very lovely villa. We were a large group of ten adults and three children under 5 and everyone still had space to relax and enjoy themselves. The children enjoyed playing in the pool, slide and play house and there were even some sand toys they could take to the beach. We enjoyed long evenings by the BBQ, singing and enjoying Cretan food. The jacuzzi was lovely up on top of the villa, with romantic swishing curtains and refreshing breezes. The kitchens were well equipped and our hosts were very attentive and gracious, presenting us with souvenir gifts of local products and home made Moussaka.
Just a few minutes drive away from both the bustling seaside village of Panormos and the inland village of Perama, we had no problems stocking up on everything we needed to enjoy a very comfortable holiday.
Rethymnon was within very easy reach at just 20km. We found Evita Bay (the fourth beach to the left of Bali) an ideal little beach for toddlers because it was sheltered. Panormos port beach was great too.
We recommend this villa highly and we will return if we have a gathering of friends and family again.
