Tucked within walking distance from the heart of Panormos village and just 750 meters from the sea, this modern two-level villa is your private escape to relaxed summer living.
Perfectly designed for up to 7 guests, with three inviting bedrooms, two bathrooms, and generous indoor-outdoor spaces, this is a place for families or friends to reconnect and recharge under the Cretan sun.
The pool, the barbecue area, and the soft evening breeze set the tone for easy days and memorable evenings — all within reach of local tavernas, shops, and golden-sand beaches.
Internal Living
The villa unfolds across 143m² of comfortable living, offering space, privacy, and homey amenities across two floors.
The ground floor welcomes you with a sunlit, open-plan layout — a modern kitchen equipped with everything you need for a self-catered stay, a dining area for six, and a cozy living space with a 50” TV and direct access to the pool terrace. A full bathroom with shower is also available on this level. One guest can sleep on the living room’s comfortable sofa, if needed.
Upstairs, three thoughtfully styled bedrooms await:
One bedroom with a double bed and ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower
Two twin bedrooms sharing a modern bathroom with shower and washer/dryer
Each bedroom features a 32” TV, air conditioning, open wardrobes, and access to furnished balconies — the perfect retreat after a day in the sun.
External Living
Outdoors, 92m² of private space invite you to unwind at your own pace.
The 23m² swimming pool (1.50m depth) offers refreshing dips throughout the day, while four sunbeds and two umbrellas provide shade and comfort.
A casual lounge corner with sofa, armchairs, and a coffee table offers a relaxed spot for reading or afternoon drinks. For al fresco dining, a shaded pergola shelters a 6-seater table beside a gas BBQ — ideal for summer meals under the stars.
Location & Lifestyle
Set in a peaceful corner of Panormos, this home offers the perfect balance between serenity and accessibility.
The beach is just 750 meters away, and within 900 meters you’ll find everything from local tavernas and bakeries to mini markets, ATMs, pharmacies, and coffee shops — all walkable, all easy.
Panormos also connects frequently with public buses to Rethymno and Heraklion, offering car-free access to nearby cities and attractions. Still, for added flexibility and exploration, we recommend renting a car — and our team is happy to assist.

We had a wonderful stay here. This place comes highly recommended. It was in great condition and highly functional. The owners were communicative, friendly and helpful whenever needed. The area itself might be a little quiet for some, but there’s a couple of nice places to drink and some fabulous food nearby.
The pool is rather small but good for splashing about. There is nothing I feel the need to criticise. Great sun and shade options by the pool. Full dark blinds and aircon throughout. Comfortable beds. 10/10
Had a fantastic time at Theros Villa.
The villa had everything you need for a fantastic holiday. It was beautiful, very clean and modern. The pool area was also lovely.. The villa is in a great location, in a quiet area, only a ten minute stroll to the lovely town of Panormos.
Evmorfia & Elisabeth at Muse travel were fantastic to deal with. They answered any queries promptly and also gave us lots of advice for things to do in the area.
The owners also met us when we arrived, showed us round and gave us a lovely welcome bag. They were so kind and helpful.
An amazing villa next to a beautiful rustic town, with lovely people who are so kind and friendly, we'll definitely be back
