Location Overview.
Villa Nestor is located just 6 minutes away by car from Panormo, a friendly, seaside village, offering some beautiful sandy beach locations, ideal for families or couples.
Panormo is a tranquil resort, which has met a fast development in recent years, without however losing its traditional face. The wild beauty of the pure Cretan landscapes, the picturesque village, the beautiful beaches and easy access, have contributed to this development.In Panormo there are actually two main beaches and a few smaller ones. As the name implies, Panormos is a natural harbour with calm waters. The two main beaches are Limanaki and Limni. Both of them are sandy with clear blue water and ideal for kids, as they are shallow and well protected from winds. The beaches are organised and equipped with sun beds & umbrellas. Water sports are also available. The harbour beach in front of the village is the port of the area, where the boats tie up, this beach is unorganised.The village has all the facilities and amenities one would need : well-stocked mini-markets, post office, pharmacy, a doctor’s office, bakery (hot, fresh bread every morning from 9 am), various gift shops and traditional seaside shops at very reasonable prices. Further, there is a good selection of cafes and excellent traditional tavernas, overlooking the harbour and the sea, which offer a warm welcome and a beautiful setting to enjoy some traditional Cretan food, fish as well as international dishes. Rethymno city is just 20 minutes driving away from the villa. Finally, in panormo there is a bus station, with regular itineraries every 30 minutes that connects Heraklion and Chania cities.

Fantastic villa
The host was very friendly and the check-in at the villa straight forward. The villa itself was very well equipped and charming. It is a very secured and quiet place, perfect for a retreat and to enjoy your vacation with family and friends. You have everything you need at the villa to be fully autonomous. The host also made sure we had enough food for breakfast and snacks for the first day until we could go grocery shopping. The location is great, you do not have sea view but you are 4 minutes from it. Instead, you are in the middle of an olive farm, and it is very charming. Highly recommend this place.

Couldn’t fault it!
Firstly fantastic service from Think Villa, they were extremely thorough, friendly, and accommodating. We had a small issue with the pool filter, which they arranged for someone to come out within the hour and it was sorted. The villa is gorgeous. The grounds, even more so. It is a brilliant set up if you were two families / groups. The upstairs is identical to downstairs, with stairs connecting the two from the outside. We were a family of four with two young children, so we decided to use just the downstairs and the children shared a bedroom, not an issue at all for us, but something to consider. We were blown away with how lovely the gardens are, immaculately kept. And the pool was great. We chose this villa for the toddler section of the pool so our 3 year old could happily reach, and 8 month old could splash about. Unfortunately, the toddler section was about 2 inches too deep for our daughter to reach, but we had a float and she wasn’t hindered by it. There is a wall separating the two pools, which she had great fun jumping off of, and the baby could sit on splashing. There’s two tables outside which could seat 20 ish people, great for a big party! Not to mention no neighbours so you didn’t have to worry about noise levels. I would have liked a lounge area outside, the grounds are huge, they could definitely fit something in, just a small suggestion! Also be wary of ants! Have some spray ready!!

Beautiful villa with outstanding outside area.
We had a fantastic two week stay in this beautiful villa. The pool, garden and BBQ area are perfect. There is a huge amount of space to enjoy and relax in. Inside there is plenty of room and the two separate apartments worked perfectly for our group of two families. Every question we asked was answered instantly and minor issues were rectified immediately. The villa is 5 minutes drive from a charming town with plenty of restaurants and bars. Thanks for a fantastic holiday!

Wonderful Family Holiday
The villa is very much for living and eating outside which is what we do on holidays. A great Pool, BBQ and eating area with a huge garden. Kid lived the table tennis table! All very well maintained. We lived outside until the early hours every day so perfect for us. The views of the mountains are stunning. The inside of the villa is slightly odd. The upstairs and the downstairs are exactly the same. The lighting is poor and it is pretty dark. There has been no real love taken to the inside of the villa like there has been outside. A couple of things to be aware of. If you are downstairs the noise transmission is really bad. You can here everything that is going on upstairs very loudly! Also the beds are really uncomfortable they are rock hard. So we all had and bad backs quickly. However it did not affect what a great holiday we had. The team from Demetri the contact there was extremely helpful and his team of cleaners could never do enough. If you are looking for sunshine and a beautiful setting this is perfect.

Perfect holiday with the best support/management team ever
We have just returned as a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 children) from our two-week stay in this wonderful villa. Both the grounds and villa were immaculate and the welcome package was the most comprehensive we've every had upon arrival. The local contact Dimitris was only ever a WhatsApp away if we needed him and he ensured that we had all that we needed. As an example (and I know it's not the Greek way) but we wanted some traditional wine glasses - he sourced 18 of them and delivered them a couple of days later. You do not need to purchase toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets and many other items as they provide those. If you're running out before the next cleaning visit just WhatsApp and they will replenish. This was a surprise to us as with every other villa we've rented through Owners Direct/Home Away we've had to provide/replace those items. The team who look after housekeeping came a couple of times a week and did the most fantastic job and were also a great source of reference for where to find the best butchers (for BBQ meat) and other useful pieces of information. The groundskeepers turned up twice during our stay and ensured that the grounds remained in perfect condition and were as good as the photos show. Towards the end we were informed that the owners wife would like to cook us a meal which I would highly recommend. Manolis (the owner) turned up with his son and Dimitris holding a huge home-made Moussaka (still warm and fresh from the over) along with a wonderful Greek Salad and two fresh loaves of warm bread. With a smill and a handshake they left us to enjoy a wonderful meal which we had to finish the next day for lunch due to the size of it (We were a party of 8!). I cannot fault anything with this villa and the couple of small issues we encountered were rectified immediately. The location is perfect being remote yet only 5 minutes drive (car is essential) from the local town of Panormos where you can get fresh bread each day from the bakery and visit a selection of the wonderful tavernas. The only thing we found to be missing was both a comments book and visitors guide which would have been useful. However the information we obtained from the on-site manager and housekeeping staff gave us all that we needed. We cannot recommend this highly enough and will certainly be back as soon as we can. You will not be disappointed

A fantastic villa set in a beautiful , quiet location.
We would highly recommend staying at this stunning villa. We were a family of 7, with our daughters bringing their boyfriends. Having two floors, both with a lounge and kitchen, along with the two bedrooms worked beautifully, to enable us to have our own space. The pool area and comfortable sun beds made it very difficult to tear ourselves away! We had lots of fun making pizzas in the outdoor oven, and the BBQ was used often. The huge tables and chairs were great for outside dining and card playing. The villa was spotlessly clean, and the maid came mid week. We had great fun driving to the local villages and further afield, with loads to see and do. From the moment of booking we found the communication to be second to none. Any questions were answered immediately, and driving instructions and ideas of places to go we’re spot on. Thank you for a wonderful holiday xx

Beautiful and Amazing!
we all had the most amazing stay! the villa is lovely, although quite hard to find and think it should be signposted from the main road, as the turning looks like a track not fit for cars! the approach to the villa is gorgeous, and the villa plot itself is far bigger than it looks in the photos. the pool was warm and clean when we arrived, the villa was spotless and the fridge was full of items bought for us by the owner. Dimitris couldn't have done enough for us, he was there at our beck and call whenever we needed and was so happy to help with everything. He organised us a bus to and from Malia, which took a lot of time and effort for him to do, and he came and opened the door at midnight when we accidentally locked ourselves out! this villa is secluded and beautiful and i would highly recommend. Only small negatives (which made no difference to our stay, it was still perfect but may be an issue for certain people), the beds are very hard and solid, there were quite a few hornets in the house, however as soon as we told Dimitris he came and sorted this for us straight away so it wasn't an issue. The lighting inside the villa isn't brilliant, the main areas are very dark throughout the day, as the light bulbs aren't that strong and there aren't many windows, but that's just the style of the villa! Overall, i would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Crete, there is a cute village nearby with bars and restaurants, the outside seating area is perfect (we didn't use the BBQ but wood is provided if you wanted to) and the pool area is fabulous too!

Great private villa for a group of friends or family!
We visited in the winter, so were unable to fully enjoy the beautiful pool and yard, which are no doubt spectacular in the warmer months! We did walk and run on the dirt roads through the surrounding olive groves - beautiful! The villa is a short drive to Rethymos and less than one hour from Heraklion and Chania. We did numerous gorgeous hikes which were all a short drive from the villa. The photos are indeed representative of a well kept and well appointed property. . . very comfortable. I would certainly consider returning! Very accomodating property manager!! Good directions for finding the location!

Fabulous relaxing holiday!
We were a group of 4 adults and 3 children, the accommodation offers two self contained living areas in the house, perfect for two families holidaying together, all very well equipped. The outside living area is fantastic, exceptionally well maintained, beautifully manicured grassed area, lovely clean pool and fantastic communal eating areas outside providing shade all day. We particularly enjoyed using the outside cooking areas, large barbecue area, wood fired oven and even a portable hob which meant most food prep could be done outside. We cooked our own pizzas, had lots of barbecued meat and even cooked calamari which was delicious. Manolis the owner delivered an amazing dish of lamb and potatoes, Greek salad and bread which was incredible and enjoyed by all in our group, it was enough for dinner and lunch the following day, a very kind gesture and hugely appreciated. The villa is very convenient and made it a very relaxing holiday, 5 minutes by car from Panormos making a trip to the beach or dinner in the evening all really easy. Ample supermarkets in Panormos and Perama, also butchers and bakers which we enjoyed frequenting, and also a little trip to the local winery. Although the weather was very hot there was generally a little breeze which made it more comfortable, we enjoyed mixing our time between the villa and the lovely pool and the beach. Rethymnon is a short drive away if you want something more bustling. All in all a very successful holiday, all very easy from excellent instructions from Valia, Demetrius meeting us and helping out during our stay, the villa was also cleaned regularly to a high standard. Would definitely recommend!

Great villa in a beautiful part of Crete
The villa was an amazing find. It's in a great part of Crete, near Mount Ida and the mountain villages, as well as the seaside resorts. There is a lot of space around the villa. A great lawn for the kids to play football, as well as the pool and large patio area. It is very private, overlooked by no other house. Olive groves all around. Great walks nearby with amazing views to the mountain and coast. Dimitri was very helpful and he was very keen to help out if ever we had a problem. I thoroughly recommend this villa. The inside of the villa was well furnished and traditional in style. We stayed in the Easter when the days were warm but the nights cool, and Dimitri left us with a supply of logs so we had a log fire each night. We loved our stay here and fell in love with Crete as well!

Nice, quiet location away from everything
We had a fantastic stay in the villa in Oct, enjoying the surrounding scenery each day. The villa is well appointed and is split into two units (upstairs and downstairs) that could easily accommodate two families on their holiday. Each unit is equipped well. Directions were useful (googlemap directions from either airport) and we were met by a smile and welcome pack, which made arrival even better than expected. We chose this area, so that we could easily reach most of the central area of Crete, and it is perfectly positioned for that. It's also near to some excellent shops, restaurants and beaches. On our last evening, the villa owner cooked a fabulous roast meal for us, and gave us a sample of some locally made wine. We hope to return to Crete again to explore more of the fantastic island and life there, and this villa will remain on our list of places to return to if we set up base in that area again.

AMAZING!!!
Wow! What can we say about this villa!?! It was quite simply, everything we had hoped for and more. We were looking for the perfect getaway retreat and we certainly found it here. From the very start, the booking process was dealt with efficiently and professionally, and we can't thank Valia enough for her friendliness and dedication to making this process a smooth one. From timely emails to just generally keeping us updated, we couldn't have wished to deal with someone more helpful than Valia - thank you! In terms of the villa, it is in such a stunning location, surrounded by wonderfully scenic mountain views, with a calm and tranquility in the air. The road leading up to the villa was certainly different, but it all added to the charm of the place! We have to thank Dimitris also for his friendly welcome, and his continual assistance throughout our stay. A really lovely guy who always had a smile on his face. It was also a really nice touch to have a home cooked meal made for us by the owner Manolis towards the end of stay - wonderful hospitality! All in all, our stay at this villa was perfect! If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, and relax in a peaceful and secluded location, Villa Ioanna is the one! Our holiday in Crete 2016 will long stay in our memory! :) Thank you once again Valia, Dimitris and Manolis! Best wishes, Christos (and all the Nicoli's)

Nur die Bäder gehen überhaupt nicht, viel zu klein und duschen kann man nur in der Hocke, will man nicht alles fluten. Das Haus ist total hellhörig, man hört aus der anderen Wohnung jedes Wort und auch alles andere ;-)

Wunderschöner Urlaub!
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in der Villa Joanna! Der Eigentümer war sehr zuvorkommend und hat alles getan, damit wir uns wohl fühlen. An einem Abend hatten wir einen Stromausfall und er kam noch mitten in der Nacht mit einem Elektriker, um uns zu helfen! Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder!

Perfekt!
Grossartiges Haus mit einem riesigen Grundstück und tollem Pool. Völlige alleinlage und dennoch nur wenige autominuten vom Meer. Bei unserer Anreise waren beide Kühlschränke mit den nötigsten Lebensmitteln und Getränken gefüllt - super Service. Einmal die Woche gab es eine Reinigung inkl. Laken- und handtuchwechsel. Schöner, großer beschatteter aussengrillplatz, sogar mit pizza-ofen! Sehr großer überdachter aussentisch, reichlich Pool-liegen mit Sonnenschirmen und extra Badetücher. Als "Mitbewohner" kommt regelmäßig ein pfau vom nachbargrundstück zu besuch... sehr schön - aber auch durchaus laut. Minimales manko: bei der grösse des Hauses ist es nicht nachvollziehbar und unverständlich, dass die beiden Badezimmer so klein sind. Aber nicht ernsthaft ein Problem. Fazit: Eine (nahezu) perfekte Unterkunft!
