Am Ortsrand gelegen, dennoch in man nach ein paar Minuten Fußweg am Meer. Parkmöglichkeiten sind jedoch nicht so gut. Der Vermieter ist sehr herzlich und man hat sich willkommen gefühlt. Die Matratzen im Bett waren äußerst bequem und die Unterkunft wurde mit viel Liebe geschmackvoll eingerichtet.

We had a lovely time staying here. We stayed in the suite called Honeysuckle and thought it was just the best stay ever. The service was second to none, with a lovely home- made breakfast spread each morning, and gifts too. Would definitely recommend.

Wir wurden von Marcos und dem ganzen Team unglaublich herzlich aufgenommen. Unsere beiden Kinder 2 Jahre alt und 4 Monate jung wurden sehr liebevoll behandelt. Der Wunderschöne Garten der Unterkunft lädt zum verweilen ein und man kann sich sehr entspannt ein Frühstück zubereiten lassen. Marcos hat sich wundervoll um uns gekümmert und uns mit Sonnenschirmen und kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten wie bio Gurken, Haferflocken oder selbst gemachtem Raki versorgt. Wir konnten auch die Waschmaschine benutzen und Maria hat uns sogar unsere Wäsche gebügelt und zusammengelegt. Wir haben uns pudelwohl gefühlt und hatten eine unvergessliche Zeit im Idili Tradition House in Panormos. Vielen Dank für alles und liebe Grüße nach Kreta

If I could give this ten stars, I would. Our wonderful host, Marcos, was so friendly and accommodating, I am just sorry I never got a photo before we had to leave! From the surprise snacks, wine, and raki, to his wonderful personality, we really couldn't have asked for a better host. The accommodation was beautiful. A renovated traditional Cretan house with stunning gardens, and an ideal location- just steps from shops, restaurants, and beaches, in the charming village of Panormos. Our apartment was beautiful, and spotless. Of our 7 nights in Crete, the 3 we spent at Idili Traditional house were by far our favorite. Efharisto Marcos for making our stay so special!

Un lieu sombre mais qui a son charme !

Un lieu étonnant qui cumule des pour et des contre. La situation du studio est excellente pour une jolie petite ville qui vaut vraiment le détour car elle est restée authentique avec une plage des plus agréables. Le logement est particulièrement sombre sans éclairage indirect donc il est pratiquement impossible d'y rester pour se relaxer dans l'après-midi alors que la bonne climatisation y invite. Alors que la nuit la lumière violente de la sortie de secours empêche de dormir et le propriétaire ne donne l'astuce pour la camoufler que lorsqu'on lui en parle. Il manque des produits de base dans ce studio type huile, miel, eau ... et surtout des torchons ou du papier absorbant. J'ai dû le réclamer plusieurs fois. En revanche la literie est bonne, la petite terrasse intéressante pour faire sécher les maillots et surtout il y a deux salles-de-bains qui à défaut d'être ventilées sont très belles et très pratiques. Le jardin sur l'arrière où l'on peut s'installer est très bien entretenu et très charmant. Le propriétaire est là et aide volontiers pour se garer. Je recommande cependant ce lieu malgré les bémols.

Great place, great owner.

Our week at Idili was amazing. The care and effort put in by the owners to restore this property with a traditional Cretan flair was appreciated. Markos made us feel like we were visiting family rather than hotel guests. I highly recommend the breakfast in the magnificent garden, great way to start the day. Panormos has everything one needs in a small package (tavernas, beach, services), and is also ideally placed to explore other areas of Crete.

We had a fabulous time. The house was lovely. Definitely the best accommodation I have had so far in Greece. Marcos and Maria who manage the place are the friendliest and most helpful people. Panormo is a beautiful friendly village with lovely beaches.

Feeling Home

Idili is the ideal place for long stay. Kitchen facilities are useful and necessary consumables are well prepared. The Manager kindly has arranged vegetables, cheese, beers, and others in the refrigerator for us and they were very helpful at arrival . Laundry machine is attached in the bathroom and was very convenient. The winter in Crete was colder than we thought but we were warm enough with the nice fireplace. Kind and nice Manager made our trip unforgettable. And cats were friendly and very cute. Highly recommended!!

Traditional apartment in a beautiful village

Danke, für den rundum gelungen Aufenthalt in dem Idili Traditional House. Der immer gut gelaunte und zuvorkommende und steht's mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehende Besitzer, war umsorgend familiär. Das Frühstück wurde im ruhigen Garten unter einer Pärgula mit selbstgemachten Marmeladen, Eiern, frisch geprässtem Orangensaft und griechischen Feinheiten serviert. Kurz um man wurde mit griechischer Gastfreundlichkeit wie bei Mama verwöhnt. Die von uns bewohnte Maisonette Wohnung war wie aus einem Guß, sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Mit einem offenen Wohnbereich, Himmelbett, zwei schönen Duschbädern, einem offenen Kamin, einem großen Balkon, gutem WLAN und TV mit großer Auswahl. Zudem konnte man, an einem typisch griechischen Sitzplatz zur ruhigen Ortsstraße, in das griechische Leben eintauchen - Perfekt ! Wir kommen gerne wieder, Familie Heidenreich
