Good location in charming village
We all enjoyed the convenience of the villa’s location and it was well equipped. Unfortunately the mattress on my bed (ground floor at the front of the house) was so hard that I slept very badly and this affected my enjoyment of the holiday. I contacted etouri but unfortunately they did not offer any solution.

Lived Like A Local in Panormos.
The property is situated a very short walk from the main pier in Panormos. From there, all the amenities of this small, coastal town are readily available. You do not need a car in Panormos, but you definitively need one to explore the beauty that is Crete. Villa Andreas is a wonderful place to use as a base for a Cretan holiday. The bedrooms are nicely spaced, and there are balconies all over the 4 level house. The beds were a bit hard, but everything else was very comfortable. The kitchen was nicely equipped and there were even some spices to work with, although a second frying pan with a lid that fits would help when cooking for more than 2 people. Overall, everyone loved the house and its location.

Great property and idyllic location
We were made very welcome at the property. We had everything we needed and people checked up on us throughout our stay. At one point we asked for more plastic cups and these were provided straight away. The location is close to the centre of the village and there are plenty of lovely Taverna's to enjoy. The kids particularly enjoyed Cafe Akth who did lovely ice creams daily for a reasonable price. There are 5 levels to the property which made it a little awkward to gather in the BBQ area however we just used this to dry our washing.

A very comfortable home-from-home
We were 5 adults and one toddler and stayed at Villa Andreas in September 2020 for 10 days. The villa has been refurbished and the access issues mentioned in previous reviews no longer exist. It was very comfortable and has two kitchens, a washing machine, dishwasher and gym, all of which we used a lot. There were many toys for the little one to play with. The villa is arranged over 5 levels with the bedrooms on 3 of them. The communal areas (balconies and pool) were plenty spacious enough for us but in our opinion might be a bit tight for 11 people at the same time. The sun left the pool early afternoon, but it was sunny in the large garden area all day. The villa was cleaned every few days by Maria, who deserves a mention as she did a fabulous job. It is very near to the centre of the village but not at all overlooked. Etouri were on hand to help with anything, as were the owners, Lucy and Andreas. Nothing was too much trouble – we couldn’t get hot water in one of the showers when we arrived but Andreas had it sorted within the hour. It is a well looked-after, and excellently situated property.

Wonderful villa in excellent location
The villa is a beautiful large house on five floors. It is in a lovely mostly pedestrianised village with interesting shops and good restaurants. The villa is also very near the sea with sea views from five balconies. The description is not quite accurate. There are two interconnected rooms on the lowest floor, two bedrooms on the third floor and one on the fifth. There are four bathrooms but none of the showers worked well. The pool is gorgeous and was very clean. We paid for it to be heated but not sure if this made a difference. The kitchens are very well equipped with lots of crockery etc, good dishwasher and large fridge. We found the mattresses too hard. When we arrived the house had all windows and doors open but many mosquitoes so we were all bitten. We bought plugin mosquito repellents and thereafter kept all the windows and doors closed. Fortunately the air conditioning worked well although the owners seemed concerned that we used it too much. The house is cleaned twice a week but the cleaners switched off the air conditioning and opened all the windows. Overall the beauty of the house and location amply compensated for these niggles - we had a great holiday and we would love to go back.

Lovely villa, lovely people!!!
We had a fantastic holiday at villa andreas for my sisters 30th birthday! The villa had everything we needed and the owners couldn’t do enough for us, Andreas even picked my husband and myself up on the morning of my sister birthday and drove us to the next town so we could get a cake absolutely lovely people! The villa is in a great location right next to the sea, lots of tavernas near by and local supermarkets and shops! We visited Bali a couple of times which was lovely also! The pool was too cold to use being in October but we went to the beach everyday and my boys loved swimming in the sea and snorkelling it was very safe for children! Thanks again for s great holiday!!

Panormously lovely holiday for all ages
Where to start ! Villa looked as good when we arrived as in the photos on the website. Ideal for our family of 6 adults, two grandchildren ages 7 and 5, and two grandchildren ages 5 and 18 months. Loads of room for them to play around the house . Swimming pool, well stocked with lilos , etc. Looks as good as in the pictures you see on the website. Gorgeous pool. Children could have played on there all day (and night if allowed ). Poolside ; sunny most of the day then shade late afternoon. Views around Villa were always interesting, plenty of signs of locals ( local villagers all about the village and very friendly ).Visit the tiny chapel on top of the hill opposite the Villa , and take in the view of Panormo . Trips available to Knossos , Lasithi plateau .Villa in the middle of Crete Cleaning service and assistance of staff was great. Staff /owner easily available and helpful, and concerned we are all enjoying our holiday. Several beaches, sandy and child friendly, never crowded. Great Tavernas , with large variety of local food . Great bakery ( fresh warm bread in the morning ), butcher and supermarket all within 5 minutes or so walk.

Beautiful villa in the heart of Panormos
The villa was exactly as we imagined it. The location is great and you can reach the town center in just a few minutes on foot. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was well equipped. There was even a grill (which was a bit small for 11 people although). If there was a problem, Lucy and her husband were always there to help immediately. Thank you very much for the great hospitality!

Super séjour à Villa Andrea
Nous avons passés une semaine de vacances en famille ( parents , frangins, petits enfants 🤗) nous avons été accueillis par Lucy la propriétaire , souriante, très agréable et qui parle français . Nous ne connaissions pas panormo , c’était la première fois , la villa est super , les photos ne mentent pas! Dotée de 5 chambres , 5 salles de bains , une piscine , un grand séjour , chaque chambre a sa propre terrasse , la villa est sur 5 niveaux , nous étions 11 et chacun avait ses moments d’intimités et du calme . Les propriétaires sont vraiment très gentils et attentionnés nous avions deux bébés , ils nous avaient prévus 2 lits bébés , 2 chaises hautes et avaient même pensé à mettre des barrières de sécurité pour les enfants entre les différents étages . A l’arrière de la maison se trouve un jardin avec une grande table , chaises , parasol et surtout des jeux pour enfants ! Un véritable petit parc pour enfants . Le village de panormo est à quelques mètres et la plage également . Le bonheur de passer des vacances sans voiture . Rita et sa famille

We had a great vacation with our family. Six aduls and two little kids. There was enough privacy for everyone. A lot of terracces, places to sit in de sun or shade. A big kitchen en livingroom to sit with the whole family. This house is close to te beach and in the village. Nice restaurants en bars. And the surroundings are beautiful. It was a great vacation!

Lovely house near by the little village with restaurants, super markets and shopping.
The house is very suitable for a bigger family or group of friends. With bedrooms including bathroom separated on different floors you don't disturb each other. The pool and the social areas are perfect for both families and friends with a lovely view over the sea! The owner are so kind and very helpful. We love to come back!
