About this villa rental
Welcome to Villa Ami Manoir, a serene and luxurious retreat nestled in the outskirts of the picturesque Panormo area, in Crete — European Region of Gastronomy 2026 (UNESCO) — where authentic flavors, Cretan tradition and refined aesthetics come together to create a truly memorable hospitality experience. Surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking mountain and sea views, this exquisite 255 m² villa offers an idyllic escape for up to 10 guests, making it perfect for families and groups of friends seeking privacy, comfort, and a taste of authentic rural charm.
Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a charming separate studio on the ground floor, offering a private haven complete with a spacious double bed (2.2 m), a cozy kitchenette, and an ensuite shower room. Ideal for those seeking extra privacy within the shared villa experience, this studio provides a peaceful retreat with all the necessary amenities.
Ascending the external staircase, you enter the main residence, where modern elegance meets rustic charm. The first floor unfolds into an expansive open-plan living and dining area, filled with natural light and complemented by a fully equipped kitchen that caters to all culinary needs. On this level, two beautifully appointed bedrooms await, each featuring luxurious king-size beds, private balconies, and ensuite shower rooms, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout your stay.
An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where two additional spacious bedrooms with double beds, one of them with an ensuite shower and WC, provide tranquil spaces for rest and relaxation. Each bedroom features a private balcony, inviting guests to step outside and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. This level also includes a small living area with a working desk, ideal for remote work or quiet moments, along with an additional shower and WC. The highlight of this floor is a large veranda, complete with a relaxing jacuzzi and a small bar with a mini-fridge, offering the perfect setting to enjoy refreshing drinks while admiring the stunning views.
Outdoors, Villa Ami Manoir continues to impress with its beautifully landscaped gardens and thoughtfully designed spaces. A private swimming pool offers refreshing moments on warm days, surrounded by comfortable outdoor furniture for sunbathing and relaxation. The fully equipped barbecue area invites guests to enjoy al fresco dining in the pleasant Mediterranean climate. The entire garden is fenced, ensuring privacy and security throughout your stay.
Ideally located just 2 km from the sandy shores of Panormo Beach, the villa combines peaceful seclusion with easy access to local amenities. Supermarkets, traditional taverns, and charming restaurants are all within close reach, offering authentic Cretan hospitality and cuisine. The historic city of Rethymno lies 22 km away, while Heraklion International Airport is approximately 60 km from the property, ensuring convenient travel connections.
Villa Ami Manoir is more than just a place to stay; it is a carefully curated sanctuary where every detail has been designed to offer comfort, elegance, and authentic experiences in one of Crete’s most beautiful rural settings.

Lovely house, with very nice and tasteful decor. Several nice terrasses with great views. Beautiful pool area. Our host was amazing. We loved the homemade local food we were brought. We surely recommend this place.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
This was a perfect house for us! The location is ideal, as it is fairly central on the island, and we were able to go to the beach or restaurants in 3 min, hiking in 20 min, and could explore some of the cities easily. We loved the jacuzzi, as it was still too cold to use the pool in early April, as well as the terrace for all our meals. This house has everything you could need for a nice break! And the views are absolutely unbeatable!! We also loved the Klados winery just behind the house - the wines were phenomenal. We hope to come back with friends, as this checked every box we were looking for! We also greatly appreciated some extra treats the owner brought us throughout the week! Cretan hospitality is simply the best in the world.
We were some of the very first guests, and the house was nearly finished - some key things you see when you "live" somewhere were missing (trash can, sponges, etc.) . I think for the summer 2025 season, the house will have all of its finishing touches. We knew this when we booked, so it didn't affect our stay.
