We stayed at Eugenia's Panselino studios (the top studio, with gorgeous views if that wasn't already clear from the pictures) for about a week and wish we had stayed for more!!!
For the traveller looking for their own ideal place, it's worth noting that there is no wifi and that reception is not the greatest, having said that, Panselino is both the perfect place to use as a base to visit the western side of Crete as well as a great place to just stay and enjoy everything around.
The top studio has a view that would make a 5 star hotel jealous! Sunrise view on the east ? check. Sunset view on the west ? check. Sea views? check. Quiet ? check. (assuming you understand you're in the middle of an olive grove and that the typical mediterranean sound of cicadas all day long is what you're going to get).
Eugenia as a host is nothing short of amazing. She welcomed us with open hands and spent a great deal of time with us sharing places to go to or slightly less busy than the usual. She invited us over for breakfast on our last day and it made us feel like we had made a new friend.
For us, we were looking for a place to disconnect, relax and yet have easy access to the typical attractions that you would do in Western Crete with a car, Panselino fit that description perfectly.
