Very glamorous feeling holiday villa - our family of 4 were very comfortable here! Everything you need is provided - small shop up the road provides the rest. Netflix provided for the kids but tbh, even they wanted to open up the doors and enjoy the pool and the views! Terrific views of the sun setting and the sunrise was pretty good too. There is a public path right by the front but we only saw maybe 5 or 6 people a day.
Panormos itself is pretty quiet at the moment (Aug, '21) but there are a few shops, supermarkets and restaurants that are open. Reythimno is about a 25 minute drive while it is an hour away for Heraklion and 90 mins for Chania.
Last but probably most important! The villa servicing team could not be more helpful and accessible - we met Makis who provided lots of suggestions and was always at the end of a whatsapp message. There is also a 24 hour concierge service who will provide lots of help in booking things for you. Could not recommend this villa more - might be a bit pricey, but you will end up being very relaxed!
