I booked Panorama Villas for two people at short notice after another place we were supposed to be staying at became suddenly unavailable. From the start, Martin was quick with communication and happy to help with accommodating our late arrival time, plus there is plenty of parking space for your hire car. The grounds of the villas are lovely, quiet and very well kept. The views are stunning and the large sun deck and pool area with comfy seats and loungers offer a lot of space to relax in the sun and take in the views.
Our apartment was clean, comfortable, provided lots of space and the kitchen had all the basics needed for cooking meals on the hob. The bedroom was spacious and the doors leading on to the balcony made for a lovely morning sat outside eating breakfast. The bedroom also had plenty of storage space. The kitchen/living room was comfortable and also had a TV with Netflix available to log in to. The Wi-fi at the Villas was constantly reliable and I never had an issue with connectivity.
The location of Panorama Villas is very quiet, rural, and ideally located a short drive in to Ag Nik. It is a fantastic place to unwind and away from the busy town, but the local taxis were always on hand via WhatsApp and never let us down whatever time of day we required them. For around €10 you can get a taxi in to town where there are endless bars/restaurants/shops etc. There is a small beach over the road from The Villas and two more further up the road towards Ag Nik. We were happy to walk but others may need a car/taxi.
The staff at Panorama Villas were friendly, helpful and were always attentive. Rose was on-hand during the day to offer suggestions on where to go for day trips and was always happy to stop and have a chat and make sure that we had everything we needed.
The Villas are a small complex which are spread out over a good sized area, so even when there are other residents you never feel like it is busy.
We had a fantastic and relaxing stay at the Villas and were very much surprised by the standard of the villa and the grounds. I can honestly say that when we return to Eastern Crete, Panorama Villas will be the first residence I will look at booking for our stay as it offers quietness, relaxing surroundings with amazing views of the sea/mountains, and a convenient/short journey to the main town of Ag Nik.
