Panormos Holiday Home

A short walk from the harbour and beaches of Panormos, this stone-built house pairs traditional Cretan construction with a private pool, a rooftop jacuzzi and views over the sea. It was completed in 2023 and is sold fully furnished.

The house offers 59 sqm of living space over 3 levels, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a guest WC.

The ground floor is open plan, with the living room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen in one bright space, and large doors opening straight onto the terrace. A sofa bed in the living room adds space for an extra guest, and the same floor includes a guest WC and a storage and utility area. On the first floor, the main bedroom has fitted storage and its own balcony, next to a bathroom with a walk-in shower. The top floor holds an attic-style second bedroom, well suited to children or guests.

The walls are local natural stone, which keeps the interior cool in summer. Every floor has its own air conditioning unit, windows are double-glazed, and hot water comes from a solar heater.

The entrance patio has been landscaped with planting and holds the private pool, a sunbathing area with loungers, and space for outdoor seating and dining. From the second bedroom, a door leads out onto the rooftop terrace, with its private jacuzzi, overlooking the sea and the sunsets this stretch of coast is known for.

As a holiday home, the property is easy to own and easy to leave: compact, furnished and close to everything, with the beach a few minutes' walk away. Mornings can start with a swim at Limanaki, the small sheltered cove by the harbour, and evenings end in the jacuzzi as the sun goes down.

Rental potential
Panormos is an established holiday destination with a busy season from June to September and visitors from spring into autumn. A house with a private pool and rooftop jacuzzi this close to the sea fits well with holiday rental demand, and local management companies can handle bookings, guest changeovers, and maintenance.

Location - distances
Panormos is a small working village on the north coast of Rethymno, built around a sheltered harbour, with narrow lanes, old stone houses and a waterfront of tavernas and cafés. It has supermarkets, a pharmacy and bakeries within walking distance, and sandy beaches on both sides of the harbour. The New National Road passes just above the village, linking it to Rethymno in one direction and Heraklion in the other, and inland lie the Melidoni cave, the Arkadi monastery and the pottery village of Margarites.
