Crete Villa
My husband & I and two other couples stayed at Penelope Home for 5 nights. The home is located about halfway between the 2 airports on Crete. (About an hour each direction) We liked the central location and enjoyed hikes, caves, the beach and other activities. The suggestions for restaurants and bakeries by our host were spot on. The host also handled our transfers which was very much appreciated.

WOW!! Amazing experience!!
We, a party of five good friends, had the good fortune of an amazing week spent at Penelope House in Panormo! The house itself is exactly as described and shown in the pictures- beautiful! Location could not have been better and the town itself.... looks like something out of a movie! The warmth of the people of Panormo will always be treasured! We were welcomed to the house by Tina- a true delight! She gave us valuable information about the town and Crete in general. Popi is a treasure!!! She welcomed us with delicious homemade food, wine and Raki. The evening we spent with Popi and her family and friends will forever be cherished!! The music, food and drink - incredible!! We appreciated Panormo’s central location for easy touring. We now long to return to Crete in the future! Thankyou Popi from the bottom of our Canadian hearts! Judy, Ron, Loreen, Kim and Cathie.

Loved our stay at Penelopi Home, Panormos
We had an amazing week in Panormos, such a beautiful home in a lovely little town in Crete. There are local authentic Tavernas and it's a lovely spot next to the sea. Penelopi and the team from etouri were all amazingly helpful, our family had a fantastic week there! We explored other parts of the island, which there are some amazing spots - gorges, lakes, beaches, winery's. If you want a relaxing holiday I would highly recommend staying here! We hope to go back again in future!

comfort e splendida vista mare
la casa si trova in una spelndida posizione con vista mare e spiaggetta attrezzata a 20 metri. inoltre si trova a due passi dal centro di Panormo: taverne e negozi di ogni genere. Molto confortevole e sicuramente da raccomandare. Il bagno al piano superiore è piuttosto piccolo, ma ci si adatta velocemente. Lo staff è efficiente e supporta per qualsiasi esigenza. Una menzione speciale per il raki di Penelope !! Complessivamente è una delle migliori soluzioni per una vacanza nei pressi di Retymno l

Panormos est un village très agréable. Petite plage, de bons restaurants à manger sur place ou emporter, de quoi courir un peu pour le footing. Villa très bien équipée. Agencement un petit peu particulier accès à deux des chambres par deux autres. On s’en est très bien accommodé. De super souvenirs !

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus!
Wir waren zu 10 in diesem tollen Ferienhaus( zwei Familien) und blieben insgesamt äußerst zufrieden. Die Lage: direkt vor der Tür das Meer und der Strand sowie kleiner Dorfhafen mit vielen Restaurants, Geschäften und Cafés. Auch das „Dorfinnere“ mit wunderschönen Gassen, Restaurants und Supermärkten ist gleich um die Ecke. Der Strand öffentlich zugänglich, mit kostenlosen Liegen, jedoch leider nicht so sauber. Man fand immer wieder da und hier Plastikmüll, Zigarettenkippen oder ähnliches im Sand. Die Kinder spielten aber direkt am Wasser, so dass uns das nicht sehr störte. Ist wohl in Griechenland üblich, dass die öffentlichen Strände nicht überall gereinigt werden. Das Haus: entspricht komplett den Bildern und der Beschreibung. Es hat an nichts gefehlt! Sehr hübsch eingerichtet, Meerblick, tolle Terrasse oben und sehr, sehr freundliche Vermieterin!!! Auch wir wurden mit leckeren warmen Teigtaschen empfangen und im Kühlschrank war alles für Erstbedarf da. Wirklich großzüg und nett. Danke nochmal auch an dieser Stelle an Penelopa🙏🏻 Es lohnt sich einen Mietwagen zu haben, um die Gegend auf der Insel zu erkundigen. Das Feriendorf lernt man in paar Tagen kennen:)) Klein und fein👌 Also, wir genossen unsere Zeit in Penelope- Home sehr und werden uns öfters an diesen Urlaub erinnern..

Glimrende beliggenhet
Supert hus, med glimrende beliggenhet med gangavstand til strand og spisesteder i en rolig og sjarmerende landsby. Veldig hyggelig eier som tok godt imot oss, men de var desverre to timer forsinket med vask ift avtalt insjekk. Huset passer nok best til barnefamilier. To soverom har gjennomgang fra annet soverom, ellers innholder huset alt en trenger. Nærmeste strand er ikke av de fineste strendene på Kreta, men rolig og helt Ok . Ti minutter unna med bil ligger er fantastisk idyllisk strand med klipper og grotter rundt! Vi hadde en super uke i Panormos 5 ungdommer og to voksne.

We fell in love with panormo.
The house has a fantastic location and is superbly cared for. Ms Penelope is a wonderful hostess and very attentive to the children. We felt comfortable and the farewell was very difficult. From the house you have a great view of the harbor and the shops are all in the immediate vicinity of the house. We would wish that the place Panormo can keep its originality, because annoying tourists who are only looking party, are out of place here. In Panormo you get an idea of the original Crete, as there was more to find 25 years ago. We also felt very well looked after by the Etouri team, which has always been well informed and always ready to help us. We would love to come back. Thank you for the best time of the year.
