Perfect en rustgevend!
Pros:

Ik heb een heel prettig verblijf gehad in dit leuke en bijzonder goed bijgehouden appartementen complex. De kamer was heel netjes en gezellig ingericht. De keuken was goed ingericht. Er was een balkon met uitzicht op het zwembad en de zee. Rondom het complex heb je een mooie tuin met prachtige planten en leuke katten en honden waar je totaal geen last van hebt. Op circa. 10 minuten loopafstand van het gezellige dorp van Panormos met veel leuke restaurants, winkels, bars en reisbureaus. Ik kwam zelf met de bus vanuit Chania en de bushalte is ca. 15 minuten lopen van het appartementencomplex gelegen. De eigenaren zijn heel aardig en verzorgend voor hun gasten. Ik bestelde iedere ochtend een heerlijk ontbijt om bij het zwembad te eten. Lekker om de dag zo op te starten. Ik zag ook dat er terugkerende gasten waren die er al vele jaren kwamen dus dat zegt wel hoe goed deze accommodatie is. Ondanks het interieur van kamers misschien gedateerd is werkte alles perfect, was alles netjes onderhouden en was het een compleet ingericht appartement.

Allez-y les yeux fermés !
Pros:

Cela fait chaud au cœur de rencontrer des personnes aussi humaines. Une très belle expérience, l’établissement familial est tenu par un duo mère-fils.
Le petit déjeuner local est entièrement fait maison.
On nous a même déposé pour que nous ne rations pas notre transport, adorable vraiment.

Perfektno letovanje koje do sada nismo doživeli u ovakvoj vrsti smeštaja u Grčkoj
Pros:

Ogromna terasa sa pogledom na more za beskrajno ispijanje rakije uz meze! Klima dostupna, ali samo jednom upaljena na 30min, jer soba gleda na severnu stranu. Perfektno! A bazen čist kao suza. Posteljina menjana na 3 dana. Ljubaznost i gostoprimstvo Janisa i Fride jednostavno treba doživeti. Sigurno se vraćamo za par godina. Svaka preporuka!

Cons:

Baš ništa.

Excellent location and the right price.
Pros:

Although we did not arrive until the early hours the owner was there to welcome us.
I needed the next day to get to Heraklion. The owner took me to the bus stop in his car.
The room was certainly big enough and all rooms had a balcony looking out over the pool with a sea view.
The swimming pool was brilliant and usually I had it all to myself, lovely.
During the week the owner gave us some eggs from his chickens.
We stayed for 11 nights and bought breakfast twice during our stay from Jannis, the owner. The breakfast was nice and plentiful.
The beer sold from the bar of the property was the cheapest I bought throughout our stay in Crete.
On leaving the property Jannis gave us a farewell gift.
I believe Jannis went well and beyond what we expected of him
I would definitely recommend booking an apartment .

Cons:

Nothing

Wonderful. A beautiful apartment with the most wonderful views and the best hospitality ever!
Pros:

The hospitality - never have I felt so welcome and well looked after on holiday! Knossos is a beautiful apartment block set in the most wonderful gardens with spectacular views.
Yiannis is the most wonderful host, incredibly kind and nothing is too much trouble. We had the most perfect relaxing week that could not have been better!

Cons:

Great place and great value
Pros:

Giannis was extremely nice and helpful. He even let me use his Greek phone to make local phone call.

Cons:

My only issue was the distance from the nearest beach. But that was something that didn’t look into when I made the booking. Once I figured out how to get around it wasn’t a problem anymore.
All in all it was a great place to stay and it’s highly recommended.

Exceptional
Pros:

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this property. It is located close to the sea and a small village called Panormos and surrounded with a beautiful garden. A good location to discover Crete. The apartment was clean and cosy with a beautiful view of the sea and the swimming pool. The breakfast was excellent and the hosts, Yianni and his mother, are wonderful people always available and so helpful. They make you feel at home. I hope that we can return one day and see them again.
