House vacation rentals in Panormos in Rethymno

Such a lovely stay!!!! Mareike and Georgios was extremely helpful they organised a taxi for me and picked up in the little village since my husband was coming later with our car. The place was very peaceful and private. I thought there would be a restaurant but honestly it’s a good thing on the location there isn’t one because it made it very peaceful that a restaurant was not next door. Georgios even organised a BBQ for us which was a highlight that we could just BBQ at home. They were extremely helpful and provided us with loads of local recommendations. I would come back any day!!!!!

The villa is good, but not very clean and not maintained very well (door handle broke, the shower hole was clogged). The pool is great and shared with the other condo's and villa. There wasnt a problem with the host, but he doesnt go the further step to communicate with you. The communication is very basic. The location is ok, about 20 minutes walk from the main port, 3 minutes walk from the nearest beach, but the beach is not very nice. The only main problem is that the double beds are small, and not very comfortable for 2 adults. Over-all for the price, this place is good.

We stayed at Villa Green Paradies as a group and it was a perfect stay. The villa offers exactly what is promised. It is very private and quiet, a wonderful place to relax, but you can also experience a lot from there. Especially the neighboring village of Margarites is highly recommended, a 10-minute walk and there are beautiful pottery stuff and a very great little cafe, as well as tavernas. Communication with Elias was also flawless and very fast! Every now and then, a few small cat guests come by, who are very happy about something to eat and clean water. Some are very shy, but all very kind and sweet. We were completely satisfied and would be happy to come back ! Thank you Elias! :)

The perfect place to stay if you are looking for peace and quiet. It was wonderfully quiet. With the rental car, you can quickly get to the beach or also to the cities with super nice taverns. Antonis and Mariniki are two great hosts, always answered questions quickly. They are two very great and dear people.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa, starting with a warm welcome on our first night. Antonis’ mother kindly prepared a thoughtful dinner for us, which was especially appreciated since we arrived late and didn’t have time to go out for food. He was also incredibly attentive and made it clear we could reach out to him anytime with questions or needs. Throughout our stay, he provided us with great recommendations on what to see and do in the area, which really enhanced our trip. The villa also featured a lovely outdoor pizza oven, and they generously provided us with pizza dough, firewood, and everything we needed to enjoy it. They even made sure we had everything we needed for a barbecue. Overall, it was a fantastic experience thanks to their hospitality and thoughtful touches.

We enjoyed a lot our stay in this beautiful villa. The sea view from the pool is amazing and the house is surrounded by olive trees. The host was very responsive and helped us with local recommendations. Highly recommended!

Harry was super friendly and provided us with lots of useful recommendations such as places to go and things to do. He was always happy to answer any questions we had and got back to us quickly. We were able to rent a car directly from Harry, he also picked us up from the airport and drove us to the property, which we found really helpful. There is a steep driveway to the property but Harry’s car made it easy. He showed us around the lovely Airbnb on our arrival and he also dropped us back at the airport after checking out. The Airbnb itself is amazing! We loved the outdoor space with the fantastic views, lounging by the pool and cooking in the outdoor oven. It is so calm and quiet, just what we needed. The local town provides a mini market and fuel just a few minutes drive away. With decent restaurants only 5 minutes away. A large supermarket was about 20 minutes away. So you are in a secluded spot but with plenty of amenities easy to get to. Highly recommended, many thanks Harry!

We loved our time here. Recently renovated with care, the house strikes a balance between modern comfort and historic charm. It’s spacious, thoughtfully designed, and finished to a high standard. Located in the quaint village of Gerani, about a 10 minute drive from Rethymno, we genuinely appreciated being outside the city and immersed in the village atmosphere. Gerani has everything you need — a supermarket, great bakeries, and a few solid restaurants — our favourite being Maxis. The village also has easy access to the highway, which made it a perfect base for day trips to beaches and nearby towns, all while skipping the congestion of Rethymno. Damnoni and Kalypso beaches on the southern coast were a highlight. We found everyone we communicated with very nice and easy to deal with. Worth the stay!

This was the best AirBnb I've ever stayed at, and it really made our trip to Crete. Maria was an A+ host. She was extremely responsive and helpful and pointed us to all of the best beaches and restaurants. The house is in immaculate condition, very clean, and very spacious, and is only 10 minutes from downtown Chania. Thank you for everything, Maria!

The house is truly something special. The interior and design of the house is super tasteful and combines traditional Crete with modern elements. Everything in the house was spotless and brand-new. The view from the terrace was breathtaking and the courtyard was very cosy. We can only recommend this gem of house at Crete. The location is a little remote but perfect to relax and enjoy Crete off the beaten paths. We hope we will come back. Also the village where the house is located is so picturesque. Amazing local tavern with great authentic food are in walking distance.

We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation in Dimitri's apartment. The apartment is fantastically beautiful and tastefully decorated, with high-quality furniture and nothing is really missing. The terrace has a unique beautiful view of the sea and we spent many beautiful hours there. Dimitris is super friendly, always available and with helpful tips for excursions, restaurants, etc. he helped us a lot. He also arranged the transfer from the airport for us and it worked out just fine. The location of the apartment is also perfect. Supermarket and restaurants are within walking distance and the bus station is just across the street. We highly recommend the apartment, for us the most beautiful so far and we will be happy to think back to the time and come back soon.

My husband and I travelled to Crete for a wedding. I didn’t take too much time looking into where to stay, so when we arrived and saw the quality of the apartment and location I was incredibly proud of myself. Our host Manos was helpful and quick to respond to our requests and needs. Our home from home was beyond clean, incredibly well stocked and the location was unparalleled. Beds were comfortable and linen was great quality. Cupboards were well stocked with spices and oils, there was a beautiful basket of fruit and you can even purchase a well stocked bottle of wine. If I could give this gem of an Airbnb a 6 I would. I shall be visiting again. Thank you Manos for all your top recommendations and advice.

May 2025, 10 nights stay for three (2 adults, 1 toddler). Villa is really fantastic. Beautiful views of the sea and the bay. It offers a lot of space for more people (2 couples, 4-6 friends, 2 families) and for longer stays (storage space, cabinets and shelves, etc.). The equipment corresponds to the description and offers, even in the kitchen, everything you can need. Our highlight was the covered terrace. Our flight was moved up at short notice. A significantly earlier check-in was not a problem at all in our case. Stelios is a very friendly, helpful and dedicated host. We recommend him and his villa without restriction. Small limitation: the accommodation is a bit off the beaten track or the region is a bit scattered (mainly due to the geography of the area). Without your own car, it will be a little difficult in our opinion. However, there is a free parking space right by the house.

The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.

We enjoyed our entire stay! From the minute we got there, until we left Joanna was easily reachable and the property is fantastic. We hope to be back again!

The place was exactly as described. Very friendly landlady. Requests were met. An earlier check-in was possible without any problems. Messages were answered quickly and kindly

A short walk from downtown Kalyves, but far removed from the hustle and bustle of the town of Kalyves. Several good places to eat, with some services such as medical and a pharmacy, a couple small markets with enough provisions. The location had absolutely amazing views of the bay of Souda, very private and quiet. The property is secured by an electric gate, to keep wandering tourists away, in that this accommodation appears historical in nature, maybe all that’s left of an old kastelli, based on the rock walls. I could be wrong, but I would guess that the actual accommodation is what used to be the powder magazine for the old fort. We enjoyed the place immensely.

Stathis was a great host, giving recommendations and providing all of the essentials at his villa. Lovely villa with great sea views.

Wonderful villa for a family vacation, with an exceptional host! The villa is in a very quiet location and has everything you need to enjoy your time by the pool. The host truly made a difference in making us feel welcome—organizing a quick pool cleaning after a sandstorm one night and treating us to some delicious local snacks and other thoughtful goodies. We’d love to come back someday!

We had a great time staying at the place. The apartment was very well equipped, in the kitchen there was everything you need for cooking, there were even children's toys and equipment for the beach. Everything was totally clean and the contact with Efi was very friendly. We very much enjoyed using the garden and also the barbecue there. Thank you for the wonderful time we were able to spend there.

Simply stunning apartment, glorious views and easy access to the little village of Kalyves. We spent most days by the pool and evenings eating at the many restaurants by the beach. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped, the views from the living room are stunning. Eleni is an attentive and very responsive host who looked after us extremely well. We will be back very soon!

Great communication from Evangelos. Very helpful. The place was lovely with everything we needed and the beach at the end of the garden great for snorkelling. The family were very friendly, helpful and generous We were given delicious fresh eggs and potatoes. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Theo’s apartment is absolutely beautiful place to stay right in the heart of the old city - we had an amazing stay and thoroughly recommend. Theo was a brilliant host, the personal welcome and flexible check in and check out made us feel right at home even after a long journey. The apartment is beautifully equipped and finished, with comfortable living area, well equipped kitchen and lovely bedrooms with lots of storage. The roof terrace is stunning, catching the sun all day with lots of comfortable furniture. The location is perfect for food and shopping in the heart of the old city, with stunning sea swimming locations a short walk away. We had a wonderful stay, Theo was awesome and the overall cost was good value for money.

The location is special, we celebrated it. Beautifully located. Totally quiet and a little off the beaten path. We were feeling absolutely safe. The local restaurants were just open at the beginning of May - it's village-like. Car is necessary. The prices fair, the people friendly. Visiting free-living cats. A cat has born her kittens near the accommodation and feels part of the house. The first micromarket is 5 minutes away, in Gazi (10 min) there are larger shopping opportunities. The bathroom is small and like everything about the house lovingly designed. From the height of 180 cm, the use of the toilet requires some flexibility because of the legroom. The house is a dream if you want to relax and come down.
