Villa Kynthia in Panormo village !
an 1890’s residence, was built for a merchant of aromatic kitra (grapefruit-sized lemons) which were exported along with carobs and olive oil from its sheltered port.
It was restored to its original style and structure with great care in accordance with Cretan traditional architectural standards.
Panormo, a small traditional village with a rich history, has remained delightfully laid – back and unspoiled. It lies on the central north coast of Crete that allows its visitors to explore many parts and sights of the island.
At the close of the last century, Panormo’s harbor was well known as it served as a port of export towards western Europe for local agricultural produce. Today, this lively but not totally untouched by tourism village, hasn’t lost its character nor its quiet.
Panormo, centrally located on the north coast of Crete, is 25 km from the Venetian town of Rethymno and 55 km from Heraklio and the Minoan palace of Knossos.
Villa Kynthia retains its grand charm as it has been lovingly restored with its wood-paneled ceilings, beamed eves, parquet floors and time period furnishings to complete this intimate five-room guest house.
Step through the ornate gateway and you find yourself in the enclosed pool courtyard, shaded by a venerable pine tree and flanked by a raised pool. This is the perfect spot to relax and have your breakfast surrounded by colourful and aromatic flowers.
