Simply Perfect!
We stayed in this villa 5 years ago and returned again in August 2022. Our group had 12 people ranging from 9 years old to 72. Location is ideal, 5 min walk from restaurants and sea, private and spacious inside and outside. With such a good location you don't necessarily need a car , although we had one so we could enjoy occasional days out and do food shopping. Even without a car you can book day trips by bus from the various tourist shops in the village. Panormos suited us - there's >10 restaurants, a village centre with facilities, a couple of beaches (although they are small) and harbour. If you like big beaches then Panormos probably isn't for you, but there are 3 or 4 small ones with good swimming. A lot of north coast Crete beaches have rough seas, but Panormos is sheltered due to the harbours. There is a scuba dive and watersports school in the village too. The villa is split into 2 semidetached houses of 4 bedrooms + 2 bedrooms with shared outside space. Plenty of outside seating, sunbathing and dining areas. BBQ was good, I'd recommend using Lidl in Reythymno (15 mins drive) for the meat as the shop in village doesn't have a great choice. Only small gripe is that in the early evening there isn't much seating in the shade before 8pm, but it's great in mornings to sit in shade with a coffee. Pool is perfect for cooling off and is ~10-12m long and no deeper than 1.4m. Overall, a wonderful villa in a wonderful location for quiet family retreats, I would gladly return :-)

Great family holiday villa close to village and beach
Our stay in July 2019 was fantastic. From initiating the booking process with Valia to leaving the keys at the end of our stay - we could not have asked for more. The villa is beautiful, with contemporary styling, comfortable beds, great lighting, modern appliances, spacious rooms, private pool and lawns - very nice for my family of 11 - 3 generations. Roula greeted us as we arrived and made sure we were well looked after. Locally there are plenty of cafes, ice cream and coffee parlours and tavernas, some right on the beach, others tucked away down little side roads. It's not too touristy in Panormos, and felt very easy to wander around the shops and bars, very friendly people too. The walk to the village only took about 5-6 minutes, down a hill, but not too steep for the walk back! We wanted all of these facilities, especially restaurants, local to the villa as we did not want to hire a car. Our transfer from the airport (recommended by the owner) was happy to stop for half an hour at a Rethymno supermarket en route, for us to stock up on main supplies for our week. That really helped. All in all, I'd have no hesitation in booking this villa again - everything was just perfect. Thank you to Valia and to Roula.

A stunning village on the coast of Crete
This villa is magnificent: beautifully designed to a grand scale. It’s by far the nicest property in the region. It’s comfortable: it’s spacious; it’s well located; it’s well equipped; it’s got a great pool and well tended garden. It lacks nothing and it’s managed both helpfully and very professionally. 11 of us shared it, ages ranging from 11-85 and we found it perfect.

Fantastic family getaway
We had a half term holiday here with our adult children and grandchildren and it was first class in every way. The booking process was easy with Valia giving speedy and helpful responses to all of our queries. We were delayed with our flight and arrived at 1am to find Roula , the owner, cheerfully giving us the keys and a tour of the property. The villa was superb, stylish, spotlessly clean and really well equipped and there was a full mid week clean and linen change, which was much appreciated. The location on the edge of the village was just right for us . Everything was within walking distance - snorkelling off the beach, eating in the many tavernas and generally strolling around. We really couldn’t fault this place and would highly recommend it to any large group who want to be near the attractions of a resort / village whilst having the benefits of their own private space. Thank you Roula and your staff for making this a very chilled, hassle free holiday.

Top quality villa, great for large families or group of friends
Villa is beautiful, recent build, with high quality fixtures and fitments throughout. Great sized pool, much bigger than most villas we have stayed at, masses of outdoor entertaining areas. The owner was brilliant, met us on arrival, gave us detailed tour of the property and showed us how everything worked, left bowl of fruit and a few essentials plus bottle of wine and some local cake/biscuits. Cleaners came mid way through our stay, changed all towels and bed linen and bought lovely Gatueax. Village is within 5 minute walk of the villa and has plently of bars and Tavernas, three seperate beaches, great view of sea from the villa. Great location for exploring the Island being two mintes from the main road that runs the length of the island, but not close enough to hear any road noise. Overall a great villa and a great holiday.

Beautifully maintained and equipped villa and gardens.
We could not fault this villa, just five minutes walk from the beaches and charming village, with plenty of restaurants and shops. The friendly and helpful owner welcomed us in and showed us round, leaving cakes, wine and fruit for all the family. Mid-week she sent over a beautiful huge chocolate cake with the maids, and she came round to say good-bye and make sure our stay had been to our satisfaction when we left. A fantastic holiday villa for a large family group. The best we have stayed in!

Incredible Villa, Amazing Location, Awesome service
Myself and a group of 10 Friends stayed at Villa Eolia and had the most fantastic time. The villa is beautiful, chic and very spacious with more than ample room and amenities for everyone and everything. The setting is just breathtaking sitting midpoint up a hill so you are able to see beautiful sunsets and the bay of Parnormo as you relax by the stunning pool. The hill it sits on is very small and is easily Walkable to the shops and restaurants of Parnormo. The owner Mrs Roula along with Valia and the team at Think Villa were just so helpful. Both of them were keeping us up to date and checking in before the holiday and of course once we had arrived. Any problem we had (Not problems with the villa - just silly things like when I accidentally locked us out!) - The owner came running round to help us and get us back in within 20 minutes. We have had the best week and I would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a large group holiday. We are all around the age of 30 so we were looking for somewhere we could relax, cook, eat out and enjoy a few drinks but not a party town. Parnormo was perfect for this and we made great use of the town and local beaches. After befriending the manager at a local restaurant too, we would highly recommend going to eat at Porto Parassiris. This villa is an amazing find and we will be back!

Beautiful Villa. Fantastic location.
We stayed in Villa Eolia for a week earlier this month. The villa is beautiful. Garden, pool and BBQ areas are extremely well maintained. Lots of different seating areas. 5 - 10 mins walk into the village which has everything you need. The villa owner Roula is a lovely, friendly lady. Nothing was too much bother for her or her husband and we knew that we could contact her at any time should we need to. Valia from HomeAway was also lovely and helped us with all our booking details and was also happy to help with any questions or requirements we had. We were a party of 11 adults and we all agreed we loved this villa and would love to return at some point. Would definitely recommend both the villa and HomeAway to anyone considering a holiday. Thanks to all concerned. We had a great holiday xxx

Unforgettable villa and experience !
This villa is the dream villa: modern, bright, new, clean, with all the right amenities and high end appliances. U won't miss anything. They even provide u with a juicer and panini machine. The view of the pool and seasight is breathtaking. Service is awesome: cleaning ladies come twice a week. Towels and beach towels are changed. The owners are extra sweet people, just like the rest of people in Crete. Crete is a gorgeous island with mountain and sea views. You can't go wrong with this villa. Overall, from the agent whom we booked the villa with to our whole stay there, everything was worth the money!
