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 and sunsets without fear of disturbing others. There’s a designated covered car parking space also.

There are three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. Two bedrooms have a King or Queen size double bed. The third bedroom is furnished with two single beds that can also be arranged and fixed as an extra large Superior King double bed. All bedrooms also have mirrored dressing tables, for convenience.

The accommodation offers all modern comforts, including air conditioning throughout, WiFi, flat-screen smart TV; Xbox. There is a desk situated in the lounge also.There is ample tableware and kitchen utensils to easily accommodate 8 guests comfortably. In the milder months there is the option of underfloor heating throughout.

There is a 6 seat indoor 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 outdoor barbecue, which is perfect for alfresco dining, followed by a refreshing dip in the pool

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 covered 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. This is a more sociable area to strike up conversation and make new friends, whilst the private pool and detached Villa provides privacy.

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

Beautiful private 3 bedroom villa with pool near to the coast.Fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxed stay. We especially appreciated the outdoor shower, pool, multiple sun loungers and outdoor seating areas.

We had a truly lovely time in Villa Athena. It is a well equipped and very family friendly villa. The beds were comfy and lots of sitting and lounging areas inside and out. The pool was lovely and we loved the very local pebble beach just a few minutes walk away. The beeches in Panormos were nice too but snorkeling in the crystal clear waters at the pebble beach were a highlight. The lovely food at the local restaurants and the cocktails (and mocktails) in panormos were also fab. Thank you for a lovely place to stay! We would recommend the villa and also this area of Crete for a fun and relaxing stay.

This was a gem! A beautiful and immaculate villa. We loved Panorma and it was a great home base for our Crete vacation. The villa pool and outdoor space was lovely. Despina was super responsive. We would stay here again

Everything we needed. Good private pool and large outdoor seating areas. Air con inside was very welcome. Nice complex with additional communal pools. Not busy when we were there. Short walk into town with shops and restaurants. Small supermarket near the villa - very friendly and helpful, as was everyone we met.
