Also Panormo, is a friendly sea side village, 10 minutes away by car and well know for its sandy beaches.. Nearby, the remarkable Melidoni Cave—rich in mythology and local history—beckons just a few kilometers away.

*TO EXPLORE: Perama is a gateway to Crete’s rich heritage and natural beauty.

Outstanding Villa

The villa looks great in the pictures but it’s even better in person.Beautiful inside and out. The pool area is great, and the covered outdoor dining space it beautiful. One of the best villas we’ve ever stayed in and the villa owners/ managers on hand were great. Location is good for the town (although the town is limited) but the views gardens and isolation of the villa is great. Would 100% stay here again

Crete Excellence

Fantastic new property superb layout from ultra modern stylish bedrooms through to open plan living downstairs. Outside layout was a dream with fantastic outdoor shaded eating area. High quality large dining table, bbq and professional drinks fridge. Perama was a lovely working village with plenty of supermarkets, coffee shops, bakers, butchers It is a working town which added to the authenticity of the stay. Close by is Peromo and Bali which are more tourist (still lovely and quiet). Think Villa and the owners have been superb. Looking at the larger nine bedroom property for 2021.

Geweldig huis!

Het huis was nog mooier dan op de foto's op internet. Alle kamers met luxe badkamer, prachtig zwembad en tuin, fijne keuken. Ontvangst en service waren prima. Het enige minpuntje is dat in het plaatsje Perama weinig te doen was. Dat lag misschien aan de periode dat wij er waren (mei) maar het leek wat vergane glorie. Wel goede supermarkt en banketbakker. Zou het iedereen aanraden!

Sehr zu empfehlen

Die Gruppe von acht Erwachsenen (50er) war rundum glücklich mit dem Objekt. Platz, Komfort, Sauberkeit und vor allem auch die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war zu jeder Zeit absolut vorbildlich. Ein Mietauto ist zu empfehlen. Die Gruppe wurde also über den gesamten Zeitraum bestens betreut.

A villa I will never foi

From booking to arrival it was a pleasure. Valia was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. The villa had the wow factor and as amazing as it looks it is even better in real life. The owners were very attentive and made sure our stay was the best experience we could have hoped for. Hope to see them again next year.
