House was fantastic! Private with gorgeous views of the sea and hills yet very close to town of Panormos. Emmanouela and her family were lovely, easy check in and available for questions and assistance. Our ferry to Crete was delayed and we arrived late in the evening but Emmanouela's father was flexible and had a spread of fresh fruit, vegetables, bread and cheese waiting for us. It was perfect after a long day of travel.
The house is close to the main highway but the road noise wasn't too bad. We loved having a private oasis yet close enough to walk down to the beach or to town for dinner, ice cream and the fish spa! Panormos is a great little town - plenty to do, but not too big or overrun with tourists (even during the high season). Perfect vacation for my husband and our two little ones. Would love to come back again!
