I highly recommend staying at the Beach Villa. Valia was a pleasure to deal with - she was a very helpful and pleasant host. The villa worked out wonderfully for our family of four and friends (another couple). It's very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The property is very private and absolutely beautiful, surrounded by many fruit and olive trees and grape vines. The pool was perfect for cooling off in after long days of sightseeing. It's a short walk to the village of Panormo, which has supermarkets, cafes, bakery, butcher, bank machine, restaurants and a lovely scenic harbour and sandy beaches. It's situated well for exploring many areas of Crete. We loved our stay and hope to return!
