About this property

Beautiful 3 Bed, 2 bath detached Villa with sea views and private heated pool

Villa Athena is a beautiful 3 bed detached Villa, with a private heated swimming pool set in private grounds with stunning sea views.

The Villa is tastefully furnished, with a large open plan, double height kitchen, living and dining room area. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located away from the open plan lounge/kitchen area, which affords privacy for guests who wish to lie in and for those who prefer to watch the spectacular sunrises without fear of disturbing others.

There are three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. Two bedrooms have a double bed and dressing table. The third bedroom is furnished with two single beds that can also be arranged as a double bed.

The accommodation offers all modern comforts, including air conditioning throughout, WiFi, flat-screen TV; Xbox. There us ample tableware and kitchen utensils to accommodate 8 guests comfortably. In the milder months there is also underfloor heating throughout.

There is a 6 seat kitchen table plus a large 8 seater dining table on the veranda overlooking the sea and pool, and a further 6 seat dining table by the outdoorperfect for alfresco dining, followed by a refreshing dip!

There are various seated lounge areas in the garden and verandas situated just outside each bedroom, which provide private or sociable time for guests. Each bedroom has access to a veranda with seating to enjoy the sea or pool views.

The private pool is situated to take advantage of the beautiful sea views and the glorious sunsets. The large alfresco dining table underneath the bamboo veranda sits adjacent to it, alongside a comfy outdoor lounge seating, perfectly suited for drinks and an alfresco lunch or dinner before or after a swim.
The large wrap-around garden area also has a built in charcoal bbq, and further seated dining to enjoy your barbecued meal. With ample sun loungers situated around the private pool for sun worshipiers.
The private pool uses a salt water chlorination system and is heated for guests which prefer to travel during the mild weather season in Crete, where the sun still shines but may not be warm enough to heat the pool by itself.

There is also a large communal swimming pool in the complex which consists of three inter-linked round pools (two full depth and one for children) along with a small separate pool for toddlers/babies. Which is a more sociable area to strike up conversation and make new friends.

A lovely family Villa from which to enjoy the beauty of the traditional fishing village of Panormos and to explore Crete.

June time is so peaceful
Firstly what a super host/ owner. The details about the are exactly what you get. You get a good sea view with stunning sunsets. It’s decor is modern/ ikea style and everything worked. Aircon everywhere you need them. Great bonus are the electric shutters that help keep the villa cooler if you choose to. Equally there are fixed insect screens, not that that was an issue. Plenty of outdoor table seating, various sun beds plus comfy patio furniture of Sofa and chairs. Pool is maintained to a high standard and both the patio and pool was cleaned 3or 4 times in our two weeks there. Tv great- we linked up our iPad and watched a couple of movies. Locally there is a small shop and outdoor restaurant 2mins away. The little town is 15 min stroll with mainly 2 streets of mixed shops and plenty of restaurants that are fine. Tom will give you recommendations if you ask. We visited a couple and they were really good. There is a small shelf in the kitchen with batteries, sun creams and pain killers that people leave. People before had left oils, tins of food, tbags etc for the next person to use so might be worth looking before you go shopping especially for oil! We did eventually find extra bedding in a cupboard in one of the double rooms and some towels. There are no towels apart from the one we bought and left. Few bits under kitchen sink eg washing up Liquid and bin bags but just what has been left. There were toilet rolls but not sure if supplied or left there. Panormos is small and piece full. Rethymno- gorgeous town, is about 25 min drive but there are buses.

Very good property in nice town
Very nice place, with good, well designed and decorated space and nice pool: the neighbourhood is still being built, but that isn’t visible from the property which looks down to the sea . Easy walking distance to lots of nice local restaurants.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful villa
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Athena. Everything was well thought out, tastefully decorated and extremely well equipped. Having the private pool was a massive bonus! The village is just beautiful with a very traditional feel. Great family run restaurants and bars with a very friendly touch. Amazing holiday would love to go back!

Completely surpassed our expectations, couldn’t fault the villa, outstanding with the most beautiful sunsets from the rear, adding the private pool has been a master stroke especially for families with young children. We were 2 families sharing so having the bunk beds in the children’s bedroom was a master stroke. The villa had the feel of 2 different villas with access to rear and front balconies. Loved panormos too, had nice quiet relaxed feel which was an added bonus on a large island, felt like we were on a smaller island. Tom couldn’t have been more helpful giving advice on places to go, nearest supermarkets etc. Would visit again in a heartbeat! Only 2 points of feedback 1) an outside light near the bbq would have been fab for those later evening cooks and 2) a table tennis table to left rear of property would have kept my 3 nephews entertained for a bit longer however these are very minor points and probably particular to us, the holiday was fantastic and was precisely what we were looking for, thanks again

Wonderful villa for a family holiday.
It was a pleasure dealing with Tom and Despina. Booking, payment, checkin and checkout very easy. A fabulous house with everything needed for a great family holiday. The pool is so nice, with a lovely view of fabulous sunsets. The area is great with everything within easy reach. Highly recommended. We hope we can return again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Roberts and Despina Roberts

Host profile image
Hi - We're Tom and Despina. We have two children and live in London, United Kingdom. We purchased Villa Athena having rented and stayed at the Panorama Seafront Homes II on three previous occasions following an introduction by a friend. The development is perfect for children and adults to relax and there is a great mix of people from Europe and beyond including the UK, Netherlands, Norway and Greece. The nearby traditional village of Panormo is very tranquil with friendly people and great restaurants serving traditional dishes.

Why they chose this property

We love the friendly locals, the diversified amenities the local area provides and thoroughly enjoy our time in Panormo. We loved it so much that we wanted to have a base there that we could return to year after year and would provide adventures for our children as they grew.

What makes this property unique

Staying at Panorama Seafront Homes is very relaxing. The development is beautifully maintained and the communalist and private pool is cleaned and serviced regularly.

Panormo village is a 5-10 minute walk away and has lovely family run restaurants, bars and cafes where you can relax and chat over a glass of raki overlooking the harbour or the Phoenician architecture.

There's independent shops; supermarkets; Beauty salons and hairdressers also
