We were 2 families with 4 kids between us, with ages ranging from 2 to 10. We all had a fantastic time in this villa. The kids loved the swimming pools and the outside space was great for the adults too.

The villa is very well-equipped and the air-con in the bedrooms was a real plus for us as July can be really hot. My little girl (2) loved the cot in our room rather than a travel cot. There was plenty of space, both inside and outside for the 8 of us to eat together.

We didn't hire a car and walked into Panormo most days. The beaches there are lovely and calm and shallow for toddlers. We also had some lovely food in the restaurants there. We also used the buses to travel to Bali and Rethymnon a few times. The bus stop isn't too far away and the buses are really easy to use and very regular.

Our host was very welcoming and met us at the bus stop and took us and our luggage to the villa in her car - even though it took her 2 trips :) We had fresh melon waiting for us in the fridge and she brought around fresh eggs a couple of days later too!

All in all a fab time in a fab villa in a fab town on a fab island with a fab host!
