Villa Kynthia, a charming family hotel of considerable historical value, rests in the picturesque fishing village of Panormo. Each room at Villa Kynthia has its own character and style and caters to different family needs. There are 2 suites (Artemis – Odyssey) 1 apartment (Rea) and 2 rooms (Pandora, Nefeli) Breakfast is served in the tranquil courtyard in the shadow of the age-long pine tree. Our morning meal includes homemade marmalade, cake made with organic olive oil of our own production as well as pure local produce like goat’s yoghurt, prime quality cheese, eggs, olives, oatcake and brews of Cretan herbage. The pool, under the ancient pine-tree, is large enough to take a swim if the beach which is only a three minute stroll…seems too far.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We travelled there in 2016 but are very keen to return there as and when current travel restrictions allow. The 'When did you travel' box on here only allows me to go back to June 2019! We loved the Villa Kynthia - small, unique, comfortable and special. Walking distance to a beach that you can swim from. Panormos is small, pretty, and comes alive in the evening with plenty of choice when it comes to restaurants and bars.

A last minute booking and what a find! Our room with balcony overlooking the Main Street was spacious and beautifully furnished. The courtyard garden was a fabulous place to eat the delicious breakfast, take in the rays by the pool or enjoy an aperitif with the other guests. The hotel was just a few minutes walk from everything this quiet village has to offer. But what takes this hotel above and beyond are the staff. Joanna and Maria couldn’t have been better hosts; the love with which they carry out their role made me feel like a family friend. I will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful mansion. The rooms are big and wonderful decorated with super comfy beds. The best thing is the service by the sisters Yanna and Maria. The provide and service a very tasty and rich breakfast in the lovely garden and are fun to have a chat with. All the restaurants (try George and Georgia and the harborside Aykura) are within a short stroll, as are the beaches. We are dreaming if going back soon!

This is a gem of a place. Boutique hotel in the middle of authentic Cretan village. I think it might just be 5 rooms, but they are all individual. Charming decor. The hotel offers a superb buffet breakfast with fresh fruits, amazing yoghurt made from sheep’s milk, cold meats, cakes etc. They will also cook eggs to order. The place is expertly run by local lady Yanna. I can’t praise her enough. Panormos is delightful with plenty of tavernas nearby. Faultless.

Stayed here early September and this was our second stay here. As before this is a charming villa in the heart of the village. Was very well looked after by Yanna and Maria. We were met by Karina who is one of the owners, a charming lady with great knowledge of the local region . Surrounded by excellent tavernas and a very good mini market. Stayed in the Odessa suite, wonderful. Will definitely stay again and again. It was also nice to meet Antonis ( the other owner) who was most helpful in changing our travel dates due to COVID .

I organized a retreat, combining healing art and empowering counseling and meditation, for a group of women. Our transportation and stay were absolutely memorable! The experience near nature, the comfy hospitality, the communication with the owners were excellent! I hope we visit villa again in the future, in another retreat for relaxation, healing and self exploration activities. 👍

We were delighted by the fishing village of Panormos, so sadly empty while global tourism is all but halted. Villa Kynthia is quaint and perfect for the local tavernas and bar. Yanna (apologies if this is the wrong spelling) looked after us so well and the breakfasts, served in the picturesque courtyard, are terrific. A great holiday at a difficult time for the locals. Hopefully they will be full again soon!
