Crete Residence Villas

The villa is located a few minutes away from the beach, restaurants, shops. Magda was very nice and kind, communication was perfect. Because the villa was free both on the day of arrival and departure, we were allowed early check-in and late check-out, which was wonderful considering that we had 2 children aged 1-2 years old. There is air conditioning in every room. One of the bedrooms with a double bed had its own bathroom and balcony, we did not liked that the mattress had 2 single toppers, not a double bed topper and they were always moving and there was space between them.

The other double bedroom had 2 single beds next to each other. The mattress was very hard. There were problems with the drain in both bathrooms, one with the bathtub, the other with the sink. When I told Magda the problem was solved, but I would have expected these aspects to be checked before receiving customers. The furniture in the villa is outdated, the doors creak. The kitchen, although quite well equipped, does not look ok, the floor was always wet, the furniture was damaged, we were not tempted to use the oven for cooking. Considering that the villa is not cleaned daily (in 10 nights it was cleaned once, towels were changed twice), it would have been helpful to have an upright vacuum cleaner and some mops. There were no mosquito nets on the windows, the first few nights we were bitten by mosquitoes, so we bought some devices. The exit from the villa is directly onto the street, which is very busy, the noise was a real problem especially at bedtime, when we wanted to sleep with the windows open.

L'emplacement et la proximité de la petite plage et du centre du village à pied

La trop petite terrasse à l'est le matin en plein soleil malgré la banne baissée

Villa spacieuse dans le charmant village de panormos et à 5 min de la plage. Chaque chambre a 1 balcon. Femme de ménage durant le sejour et personnel reactif.

Seulement 4 sets de verre/ assiette etc. Plus de vaiselle serait apprecié. Literie ferme.

Magda came to meet us once we arrived at the property .She was so friendly and helpful. The villa was very spacious and well laid out. It was very well equipped.

The beds were very firm but again one call to Magda and she kindly provided us with toppers.

We had a really lovely stay here. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well equipped, with air conditioning throughout. The pool was bigger than expected, warm, and a real highlight of our trip. There’s also a nice outdoor terrace at the front of the house, perfect for relaxing. The location is excellent – just a couple of minutes’ walk to the beach and a town with just enough restaurants and shops without feeling overly touristy. Beds were a little on the firm side, and coaches sometimes pass by on their way to a nearby hotel, but neither of these things bothered us at all. And if you like cats, you’ll be in heaven – there are lots of friendly ones around who love a stroke, most cared for by a local charity who spay and vaccinate them. Magda was a wonderful host, welcoming us warmly despite our delayed flight and always available to answer questions. The thoughtful welcome pack with water, fruit, and coffee was much appreciated after our journey. We had a couple of small issues, but they were quickly responded to. The cleaning service every 5–6 days with fresh towels and sheets was a welcome bonus. Overall, we couldn’t fault it and would definitely come back – i'd actually quite like to live here;

Tolle Lage, 5 Minuten vom Strand. Ins Ortszentrum auch nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß. Shops, Cafés, Restaurants, alles fussläufig erreichbar.

De host Magda was geweldig; bij aankomst vers fruit, water, koffie en meer; geen moeite te veel en zeer goede service; ze heeft ons bijvoorbeeld gebracht met de auto naar de bus en wij kregen toppers op de bedden, omdat we deze te hard vonden. Het zwembadje bij het huis is heerlijk! En de locatie is geweldig; op loopafstand van strand en winkels/restaurants.

De accommodatie zelf is op een aantal punten verouderd; deurklinken die eraf vielen (deze werden wel z.s.m. vernieuwd toen we dit aan Magda hadden doorgegeven), bedden zijn erg hard, keuken is sterk verouderd, weinig keukengerei, badkamers kunnen er net mee door. Wat het meeste tegen viel was dat de slaapkamer beneden dusdanig stonk (schimmel/riool?) dat wij deze niet hebben gebruikt, terwijl dit wel onze bedoeling was. Ook dit is geprobeerd op te lossen, maar het stonk helaas nog steeds. Wij wisten dat de accommodatie aan een weg lag, maar er was wel erg veel verkeer (bussen, auto's, scooters reden af en aan) Kortom de accommodatie viel ons tegen; voor deze prijs hadden wij er meer comfort van verwacht, maar de host Magda en de centrale locatie maakt dat wij toch een mooie vakantie hebben gehad.

We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad op deze locatie. We kwamen s’avonds aan maar Magda stond klaar om ons op te vangen en rond te leiden. Heerlijk dat je de keuze hebt uit verschillende slaapkamers van een goed formaat en zelf 1 pal naast het zwembad. Serviceverlening echt top, er is gemakkelijk en goed contact, geen vraag is teveel en ze informeren over de schoonmaak van het huis ed. Erg fijn! Daarnaast de aandacht voor de verjaardag van onze dochter, super! Panormos is een sfeervolle plek voor een ontdekkingstocht op Kreta, het is een gezellig dorp en heeft meerdere standjes.

Geen opmerkingen, fijne vakantie gehad!
