Welcome
This unique home, just 750 meters from the beach and a short stroll to the heart of Panormos village, invites you to experience a summer escape designed around comfort, freedom, and privacy.
Split into two independent units within the same property, this villa is ideal for two families traveling together, couples seeking personal space, or a group of friends who want to share the good times — without giving up quiet moments of their own.
Built with care and intention, it combines effortless island living with everything you need close at hand. Walk to the sea, cook in your own kitchen, or gather around the barbecue for dinner under the stars.
Internal Living
With a total interior space of 146m², the villa offers two distinct units that share outdoor amenities while preserving personal space indoors — accommodating up to 6 guests in bedrooms and 2 additional guests on sofa beds.
Unit One (85m²)
The ground floor features an open-plan living and kitchen area, with a 43” TV, comfortable sofa, and direct access to the pool terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped, complete with breakfast counter for 4 and a guest WC.
Upstairs, two cozy bedrooms share a modern bathroom with shower cabin and washer/dryer.
Unit Two (61m²)
Also spread across two levels, this unit offers an open living-kitchen area on the ground floor, a 43” TV, and access to a private terrace with seating. The indoor dining table seats 4.
Upstairs, one double bedroom enjoys its own ensuite bathroom with shower and laundry facilities.
All three bedrooms include 32” TVs, open wardrobes, independent air conditioning, and private balconies with outdoor seating — ideal for unwinding at your own pace.
External Living
Step outside into 92m² of open-air serenity. The 18m² private pool (1.50m depth) is perfect for refreshing swims any time of day, and an outdoor shower adds convenience after beach visits.
Lounge on 4 sunbeds under the umbrellas, or enjoy your morning coffee in the peaceful outdoor sitting area. A shaded dining space for 4 with a gas barbecue makes it easy to savor long, relaxed meals — whether it's fresh seafood or simple grilled veggies with a glass of wine.
Location & Lifestyle
The villa is nestled in a quiet residential area of Panormos, a seaside village known for its easygoing charm and convenience.
Just 900 meters away, you’ll find everything you need: mini markets, bakeries, tavernas, cafes, pharmacy, ATM, and souvenir shops. The beach is even closer — only 750 meters from your doorstep.
And if you wish to explore beyond Panormos, the village is well-connected by frequent public buses to Rethymno (every 30 min in summer) and Heraklion (approximately every 45–60 min depending on the season). A rental car, however, adds flexibility for discovering more of Crete, and we’re happy to assist.
