Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Panormos in Rethymno

I can’t say that enough about Nikoloaos and his wife as hosts! They were so incredibly kind and responsive. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable and fun. By far the best Airbnb hosts I’ve encountered in my travels. I would very highly recommend a stay at this Airbnb. If you don’t, you’re missing out!

Lovely apartment. Very tastefully decorated

We loved our stay at Anastasio’s! The apartment was clean and just as the photos described. The location was beautiful, overlooking the water and within walkable distance to everything you could need. Anastasio and Fotis were extremely responsive and helpful, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They even allowed us to check in early when we arrived to the city earlier than expected. Thanks for a great stay!

My husband and I spent a lovely week at Asteri Home. The house was exactly as expected and just what we wanted for our week in Crete. The kitchen was well-equipped and allowed us to make breakfasts and a some dinners at home. The main double bedroom was big enough and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit dark and the shower is quite small, but we made do. The most amazing part of the house is the huge garden overlooking the sea that has 4 sun loungers, 2 outdoor tables for dining, a BBQ and a dart board. We spent a lot of time sitting at the end of the garden enjoying the view. Véronique and Yiannis are amazing hosts. They were so helpful right from the start - arranging transport from the airport, a rental car, offering suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. Kokkini Hani is quieter than other more touristy parts of Crete we visited. We found wonderful Greek restaurants with fresh seafood everyday. The supermarket and shops are all in walking distance. A lovely place!

Wow—what an amazing stay at George’s apartment! From June 6th to June 8th, my partner, our little dog, and I had the best time. Everything about it was perfect! The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and packed with fun extras like retro consoles, Jenga, and card games—so much to do in the evenings! The balcony was a huge highlight for us, not only clean and inviting but also pet-friendly, thanks to the secure railing and net. Our dog loved lounging in the sun, and we felt totally at ease. And George? Hands down the best host we’ve ever had! He confirmed our booking quickly, responded instantly to our questions, and was always there if we needed anything. His kindness and attentiveness made our stay truly special. We HIGHLY recommend this place—it’s an absolute gem! Can’t wait to come back!

Exactly as described in the advert. Wonderful view from the terrace over the bay area and very friendly and helpful hosts! Nicely furnished appartment with everything you need and a very comftable bed. The appartment is situated in a lovely little mountain village with very good taverns nearby. The ideal place to wind down!

**Great stay in Rethymno** Stayed here for 11 days and found the apartment clean and fairly well-maintained. Though it's on a main road, the double-paned windows and doors do an excellent job blocking noise. The host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The location works well - easy access to the beach and nice sunrise views over the city. Rethymno's position makes it convenient for day trips around Crete, whether heading east, west, or south to the smaller coastal towns. Clean, comfortable, and well-located for exploring the island. Would stay again.

This is our second stay at Stefanos apartment. The apartment is perfect for us, great value and exactly as photos with the most amazing view. Absolutely recommend and we will definitely be back again!

Our family had an amazing time here! It was a great central location for excursions, and had several restaurants within walking distance as well as some flat roads for jogging. The house was perfect for our needs with a great layout. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, as well as the clean modern furnishings. Minoas’s communication was excellent! A wonderful host who provided kitchen basics for the start of our stay and a lovely gift at the end. We would love to stay here if we return to Crete.

The hot tub with the view is a real highlight. I also loved the lime tree in front of the house and served it several times. 😁 George was always quick to reach and always had solutions to any questions or problems that came up. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and wish George continued success

We had a great stay at Michalis'! The location of the property is ideal, with beautiful views and a quiet environment. Michalis and his son welcomed us warmly, even though we arrived a little later because we had taken the more beautiful route through the city of Rethymno. A carafe of raki and chilled water were waiting for us as a welcome – a very nice gesture from Michalis. We especially enjoyed breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the Cretan sea and surrounded by chickens, ducks, cats and the friendly dog Bruno. Our son was thrilled and would have liked to take all the animals with him! The house itself is large, cozy and perfectly equipped and we felt completely comfortable. Michalis' father even surprised us with fresh eggs, a really loving touch. Overall, this place is a place to relax and enjoy. We will be happy to come back. Absolutely recommended!

Very nice place to stay, with really great amenities. It is exactly as described and shown in the pictures. There was already a very good selection of food, as well as lots of fresh fruit and water. Check-in /out via key box very straightforward and flexible. Our absolute highlight, the roof terrace with the fantastic view. The communication with the owner was flawless. Thank you, Fanis

We had done a JGA at the place. And there was nothing missing. Food/drinks were provided. We were right in love and felt right at home. For 6 people it was great and we definitely succeeded in the surprise for the bride. About 15-20 minutes by car to Heraklion, which is absolutely fine. Xristos is super friendly and accommodating. If I have the opportunity again, I would always go to this Airbnb :). Unfortunately, the weather was not so optimal with us, but we still had a lot of fun. Thank you for the wonderful stay and the great arrival.

This BNB is really nice, you have a beautiful view in a small town, the host in very nice and gave us some traditional Greek food. I strongly recommend this place if you want to visit the country side in Crete !

Manos's place was located at a beautiful ans peaceful location, near the city centre but also at a good distance away from too much crowds. The apartment was as described, and is also clean and spacious. Manos even provided handmade cookies from his father and local Raki for us to try. He was also open to us leaving our luggages in the apartment while it was being cleaned due to our earlier arrival. Overall a very pleasant and lovely experience!

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 wonderful week staying in Michalis’ apartment. Views from both balconies from Apartment Two were spectacular, panoramic of the Amari Valley and Mount Ida still snow capped in the background. The apartment was immaculate and suited our needs very well. Any additional requests were dealt with swiftly. We mainly catered for ourselves in the morning and had two lovely breakfasts in Michalis’ Taverna. Meronas is a pretty village and enjoyed meals at Taverna’s Alona & Moschovolies. There was great hiking from the doorstep and only a short drive to Patsos Gorge. There is an excellent patisserie and supermarket in Gerikari a short drive away and supermarkets and pharmacy in Agia Fotini, 2.5 km away. We stayed end of April which was great as not too hot to hike but be aware many Taverna’s closed this time of year as off season. Would highly recommend a stay at Michalis’ apartments, another unforgettable holiday for us!

Argyri and her husband were the best hosts I've ever stayed with, and the apartment was absolutely flawless: excellent location, close to the old city, restaurants and the beach The apartment had absolutely all the facilities: there was nothing we needed and not exist in the home. Furnished modernly and with great taste, the apartment is bright and welcoming, with a large terrace where you can drink coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The hosts welcomed us with a cake, with fruits, wine and juices in the fridge, and upon departure they gave us local honey. Very friendly, they spent time with us and explained to us the best places to eat, what to visit around the city and in the city. it was everything I could have wished for and I can't wait to come back for a much longer period with my daughter. Argyri and Valadis, greets from Bucharest and thank you very much for everything

the place was very nice and Maria was very hospitable. Her mom gave us delicious homemade cookies. The house looked as if someone is still living there. there were personal photos and what seemed like personal items. looked a lot like a "home". We had a lovely time. thank you Maria.

I‘m more that happy that we decided to stay at Dimitri‘s place. He ish very kind and helped us right away, if we had any questions. The location is peaceful and has a great view. The beach is not far away and the size of the apartment is just perfekt for a single person or a couple. I will definitely visit again.

We had a lovely stay at Sofia and her father Georgios' apartment - we particularly enjoyed the 2 balconies and the great location for the city centre. Good view over similar height buildings all around on three sides (5 floors with small lift). There was a delay replying to messages 2wks before (important as wanted to confirm they knew we were due to arrive late) but once that was sorted Georgios was lovely, meeting and chatting to us even though we arrived at midnight and providing a baby pram and cot. The apartment was as described and well looked after, though some doors were hard to shut, both bedroom black-out blinds bit stuck (so light) and some fittings from the 70s. It would have been good to have some bottled water on arrival (as we didn't want to drink tap water) but lots of condiments, shower gel, washing machine etc provided. A few mosquitos, initially none, after we watered the plants (in Oct) but good aircon in 3 rooms. It was good value and I would book again.

The room was great! Clean and tidy! I appreciate the fact that it provided bath products as well as every cooking utensil! I will definitely prefer it again!

the house matches the listing, indeed in reality it is even more spacious, beautiful outdoor spaces on the front and back, cool in the evening there is no need for air conditioning. the location is convenient to the main road that crosses Crete and Heraklion, but remains out of the chaos of the city in a super quiet location. despite not having met the host it is as if he had been there with us, on our arrival we found to welcome us walnuts and honey, typical sweets, chocolate, jam, fruit, beer, wine, raki and water. really a warm welcome. the house has everything you could need. the thought found on the stairs the last day completed an already beautiful experience. I therefore recommend the accommodation to anyone who wants to have a quiet base in Crete.

Great spot as a base for exploring the area, right on the edge of the small village Melidoni. It was a bit of an adventure finding the place as the online map sent me to the other side of the village, but a couple of very friendly villagers know Antonis and got him immediately on the phone to let him know I'm on my way (after making me a Greek coffee and feeding me sweets). The place itself is very quiet with a fun layout and great views from every aspect. Coffee on the balcony looking at the mountains covered in snow. Comfortable bed, hot shower. Antonis very helpful with suggestions for exploring, and attentive to anything I might need or want. Fantastic Cretan experience :)
