We had a wonderful family holiday at villa Irene for 10 days. Villa & pool was wonderful and very much as per the listing. Irene and her parents are so helpful and even arranged a birthday cake for my son who’s birthday was on our arrival day! Location is near to Panormos which is brilliant for tavernas, cocktails, shopping and small beaches/port - plus the best sunsets ever!! I highly recommend this villa for a holiday.

The villa is beautiful, especially the garden and pool area. Eirini is the perfect host, checking in with us to make sure everything was great and always responds immediately. Eirini’s parents are lovely and cleaned the pool and watered the plants every other day so it was spotless the whole time. The villa is in a good location close to Perama where there are plenty of supermarkets, a good restaurant and a bakers that does wonderful cakes. Panormo is also very close with the beach and lots of restaurants. Kastro was our favourite. Car hire is recommended as there’s so much to explore, the Arkadi monastery is definitely worth a visit as is ancient Eleutherma with the museum and burial site. There are also lovely villages with great places to eat such as Margrites and Melidoni caves and village. Also recommended a drive to Georgioupolis beach (towards Chania) if you want soft sand and clear seas with a little church you can walk out to. So much to do and see 2 weeks just wasn’t enough. Definitely recommend and hope to be back.

5/5 no hesitation. Owners and their daughter did everything possible to make our stay exceptional. They were extremely helpful yet not in any way intrusive. The villa is lovely and the outside space just perfect. Panormo town is delightful with lots of restaurants and traditional paved streets.

We stayed at the Villa in June and had a really great time. We were personally welcomed by our hosts even though we arrived at late night (thanks to Irene for her translating support via mobile call :-)). And in the kitchen there was a warm meal wating for us (very delicious indeed). You cannot imagine a warmer welcome even if you travel to your grandparents! The house is very clean and well equipped with everything you need. The pool (1,4 m depth of water) is great (and already in june it was really warm). The airconditioning was working and the two bathrooms are helpful (particularly when travelling with teenage girls). At midterm of our stay house and pool have been cleaned up (and again some delicious goodies were waiting for us in the kitchen!). Shopping facilities and lovely beaches are within five minutes by car. For all german guests: Der nächste LIDL ist in 15 Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar (kurz vor Rethymnon, einfach via Google Maps zu finden) und bietet den gewohnten Versorgungsstandard. Die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in den Nachbarortschaften sind doch eher sehr "landestypisch" ;-). To sum up: the object description is totally true and we can strongly recommend this villa particularly to families,
