About this property

BOOK EARLY FOR SUMMER 2023 !! Traditional villa, PRIVATE Pool. Our last year 😢

The villa is set in a tranquil, rural area very close to the unspoilt resort of Panormos with all of its facilities and great beaches. Located on the top plot of a small complex of 9 villas it offers total privacy and is not overlooked by other properties. It is unique in so much as there are 3 levels to the property.

The lower level contains the garden with a variety of fruit trees, shrubs and plants. There is a flight of steps up to the second level, a large shaded patio area surrounded by fragrant honeysuckle and bougainvillea, a great place for a barbecue.

Then steps upwards to the top level where the villa and swimming pool are located. There are several patios here, the first being outside the villa entrance with fantastic views over the valley, ideal for breakfast.

Behind the villa there is a unique balcony and great views. Behind the carport there are several private patio areas for you to soak up the sun. Parasols, sun-beds, tables and chairs have been provided for you.

Great position and private pool
The house is in a good position with a lovely view. The pool is very private and we enjoyed it very much. The house could do with a few additional items in the kitchen and a bit of TLC but the town of Panormos is absolutely lovely and everything you need.

About the host

Hosted by David Addy

Host profile image
Being half Greek myself, with roots in Chania, my wife and I decided it would be great to visit the island and see if we could trace some of my roots. We first visited Crete in 2002, we hired a car and toured the island for 2 weeks. The more we saw of the island, the more we loved it and we both said it was the place we wanted to retire to later in life. Luckily a UK company were building several projects in the Roumeli area and when we first saw the plot we now own, there was no hesitation in making our decision. Even as a bare plot the views were stunning. We were also able to design the internal structure, turning what was our dream into a reality. Once you've visited Roumeli and the nearby resorts, you're hooked, there is a kind of magic about the whole area urging you to return!

Why they chose this property

Irinikos Villa is in an elevated position offering fantastic panoramic views of the whole valley, miles of olive groves, vineyards, farms and mountain ranges in the distance. Being high up also affords us total privacy, the villa and pool are not overlooked by any other properties. The village itself has 2 great supermarkets, 3 Taverna's a couple of local sleepy cafenions and a public telephone, everything you may need and all within a 5 minute walk from the villa. A 20 minute walk takes you to the lovely unspoilt seaside resort of Panormos. There are some great sandy beaches, any number of tourist shops and terrific Taverna's catering for everybody’s taste in this village. For the more adventurous there are also beach rides and boat tours running from the small but very quaint harbour.

What makes this property unique

The villa is definitely a quiet, relaxing retreat and unlike other villas has 3 levels, the top level with the villa itself, a swimming pool and ample patio areas to soak up the sun. Covered pergola areas offer a quick retreat if, as is often the case, the sun gets too hot. At night you may want to stand or sit on the balcony, watch the moon ripple on the Mediterranean across the valley and listen to the chirp of cicadas.

A short flight of steps from the top level takes you down to a second and more shaded patio area surrounded by fragrant honeysuckle and bougainvillea bushes where your can still see across the valley but in a more shade and cooler area.

Continue down the steps and it takes you into the lower garden where you can just wander around looking at a variety of plants, trees and shrubs. You may even see a local peacock or two as they live wild in the valley but are not shy or dangerous in any way.
