We have been at 'Eva Home' for eight days with five persons. From the very beginning until the very end we have had a wonderful time and a pleasant experience. Ntina showed us the home and Panormo. If you have questions you can easily contact Ntina and she is glad to answer them (short line).
The house is really big and clean (just like the pictures show). It has everything what you need (fridge/freezer/microwave/oven/kitchen accessories/washing machine/bathtub/shower/airco/fan/tv/iron/towels!). We only missed some extra and good quality pans. The rooms have locks that offer privacy. You can blind the whole house: ideal with the high temperatures! One room has no windows, therefore, you basically have to have that door opened all night.
The sea is nearby but for a proper (read: stone less) beach you have to walk (not too far) to the right (when you look at the sea). The swimming pool is also close. There are some little supermarkets in Panormo, but bigger (read: better and cheaper) ones are just before Rethymno (30 minutes by bus). The bus station is a 15 minute walk. Panormo offers some great places to eat, buy souvenirs and book trips. We recommend the restaurant in front of the harbour and the restaurant kind of in front of the bakery (there is no menu but just a walk in the kitchen will show you the possibilities). The local 'Klados' winery is also worth visiting! To have a night out it is better to go to Bali (just one bus-stop). You can also rent water sport things (like boats or parasailing) near the Grecotel in Panormo.
Thank you for everything Ntina! We absolutely recommend 'Eva home'!!!
