We loved our stay at Villa Palm River! The villa looks exactly as portrayed on the photos with a very nice garden and a refreshing pool. Villa Palm River is very secluded and is a perfect destination for a relaxed holiday away from the noise of a big city. Inside you’ll find everything you need for cooking and barbecuing - we really enjoyed using the grill outdoors by the pool. The kitchen is brand new (we were the first guests using it) and so is the equipment, allowing for pleasant cooking indoors as well.
Penny is a great host who is very responsive and helpful! She was there to answer any questions and helped us out within minutes.
Among surroundings we really enjoyed Preveli Palm beach (bear in mind that there is about 15 mins of hiking to reach the Palm beach after the drive). Beautiful town of Rethymnon is a 30 mins drive away.
We can highly recommend this villa for a peaceful vacation or working remotely (like we did) surrounded by singing birds, Mountain Views and endless olive trees. P.s. don’t underestimate the mosquitos though. A mosquito spray will easily fix this - we left one behind for the next guests, but it certainly won’t last :)
