Our stay in Panormos was delightful! They truly make you feel like you are their guest, providing travel advice, extra amenities and delicious home-cooked breakfast! The small village feel of Panormos is a really special way to experience the Greek islands -- great restaurants at your doorstep, a secluded beach, and charming streets and shops. The rooms are lovely with walk-out balconies, balanced with modern amenities including A/C and modern bathrooms.

This beautiful small boutique hotel is a gem of a place to stay in a beautiful little fishing village just outside Rethymno.
We were warmly welcomed at reception.
Our room was perfect with quality furniture, fittings and bathroom products.
Breakfast was a delight. All fresh home made products. Very tasty in a lovely relaxed environment either in the garden or balcony over looking the street.
Would def stay again if returning to Crete

Z Boutique is probably the most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed in. The moment we stepped through the door to greeted by Nike it felt special. The architecture of this old, family home is beautiful with such lovely attention to detail. The furniture, some of which belonged to the owner's grandparents, is perfect for the homely atmosphere.
Our room was extremely comfortable and quiet.
Breakfasts were varied and delicious.
Nike, the manager, could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
We hope to return soon.

Z-boutique is a lovely, very quiet owner operated 7 room hotel in downtown Panormo with ample common areas including a generous living room, semi-private patios and a little pool area. The rooms, breakfast and staff are wonderful. Everything is impeccable and pleasing.

Panormo itself turned out to be a great choice mostly free of large chain hotels, nice restaurants and two sand beaches with exciting additional options nearby.

What a little gem! Our room was absolutely stunning and very comfy. Nikki greeted us very warmly upon arrival and was very helpful in providing dining options in the area. So happy we stayed at this hotel. Hoping to return for a longer period next time.

We only were able to stay one night at Z Boutique but wished he had booked several more. This is a great property on a quiet traditional village with everything you could need (food, market, bakery, etc) on the same street with charm at every turn. I would definitely recommend!

The property itself is absolutely gorgeous. It is smaller than expected, but every inch is full of charisma and beauty. Say, “Yes,” to the homemade juice if they offer it, it’s great! I oThe room was amazing and impressively clean. The level of hospitality is of the highest standard and we loved staying in the village of Panormos. Our only complaint about our stay was the repeated calls we received to ensure certain details of our stay, but we understood that it was coming from a place of concern for their guests.

Highly recommended

Amazing small boutique hotel (7 rooms) 2 mins away from the beach and restaurants. Was offered to freely choose our room as the hotel surprisingly wasn’t fully booked. Cozy garden with a few sun beds and a small pool, perfect is you don’t fancy going to the beach. Free beach towels available (you pay a deposit which you get back when you return the towel). You can’t get more boutique than this!

This is a small boutique hotel ideally located along the cobbled streets of the village. Great stay, wonderful hospitality, small but very personal and friendly service. Irina was very welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble.
There was a small garden with terrace and pool, plus a rooftop terrace with a barbecue, and a small indoor lounge. Several different room options, and all well appointed. We were very happy with the service at Z boutique and would happily recommend to anyone looking for a small centrally located place and wanting personal, friendly service. Thanks Irina and Z Boutique Hotel

Fabulous hotel in the lovely village of Panormos

We had a perfect week in this beautiful hotel in an amazing, friendly, traditional village. From start to finish the staff at the Z Boutique could not be more helpful. We were made to feel so welcome. We had initially booked a standard room but upon arrival we asked if we could move to another room, not because we were unhappy with the room but because we wanted more space. Again, the staff were really accommodating and moved us to another room. Lovely, breakfasts every morning prepared by Irini and information given on the surrounding places of interest. I would definatley recommend this little hidden gem!!

Perfection Crete Style!

If I could give this place a 10, I would! First, the actual hotel is at least 5 stars in terms of design -- stone interior walls, high ceilings, pickled ancient beams on the ceiling, arched doorways, creams, taupe and mineral greens in the common areas, with fresh flowers, gorgeous white ceramics and rich dark wood armoire and antiques -- my dream villa. Comfort with a capital \"C\" (the bed - the best sleep I have had all month On this trip) the couches in the common area - perfect place to catch up on my reading), even the chaise in the garden, all comfy. The bed linens all crisp white, clean and fresh. They even changed our towels everyday as requested! Each room is unique in its design and color scheme (all white with a pop of color) and amenities. Ours was a little enclosed patio with table in the courtyard. A perfect little place to have the reki and homemade candies we were brought on afternoon. Breakfast included local bio honey and home baked sweet breads, cookies and cakes made by the magnificent Irini, a most attentive host! Fresh eggs were prepared to order. The village is quaint, the tavernas all excellent, and the beaches peaceful -- a welcome change from the crowded, commercial towns of Chania and Rethymno. It rained for two days and we were fine relaxing in the hotel. Buses to other towns were simple and it was great to come back to a lovely hotel and little village at the end of the day. Don't waste your time at a big resort, enjoy the Crete here.

Wonderful unsung hotel

We had a little difficulty finding the hotel, but once we did, we had a great experience. The spaces are extremely handsome and well-designed (especially the common spaces an balconies, where you're invited to hang out, and the staff was even better. Eirene could not have been warmer or more genuinely friendly, the breakfast buffet was exemplary (my first cup of filtered coffee in two weeks!), and the location couldn't be better.

Das kleine Hotel ist wirklich traumhaft! Die Zimmer sind luxuriös und sehr sauber, das Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen. Es liegt ruhig und sehr zentral, man befindet sich mitten im Zentrum. Zum Strand ist es auch nur ein kurzer Spaziergang, wir können das Hotel uneingeschränkt empfehlen ❤️

Hele mooie, schone, kleinschalige accommodatie.
Personeel is super aardig en behulpzaam, gaven ook tips om te doen.
Ontbijt was zeer goed verzorgd.
Je kan er niet dineren, maar in de buurt zijn genoeg restaurantjes om te eten. Wij vonden er 2 heel erg leuk, omdat het echt Griekse tavernes waren; Geronymos en Phanari.
Een leuk strand in de buurt is Spilies Beach, strandbedjes huren is daar niet duur en personeel is vriendelijk. Er zit ook een taverne bij.

Wir genossen zu zweit eine wundervolle Zeit in diesem authentischen, privaten Hotel. Das gesamte Hotelteam sorgte sich um unser Wohlbefinden von der ersten Minute an. Die Herzlichkeit, das Zuvorkommen und Gastfreundschaft waren einzigartig. Individuelle Wünsche wurden immer erfüllt. Das perfekte Erscheinungsbild des Hotels begann schon am Eingang. Die grüne, blühende Gartenanlage lud zum entspannen ein. Das umfangreiche Frühstück konnte man im Innenbereich wie auch in der Gartenanlage genießen. Dabei konnte man auch etwas Privatsphäre halten. Fast alles auf dem Frühstücksbuffet ist selbstgemacht. Unser Zimmer war funktionell und immer bestens gepflegt. Die Einzigartigkeit dieses Hotels spürt man und sieht man an seiner Pflege. Das alles wurde mit soviel Liebe und Hingabe von einem kleinen Familien Team organisiert als ob es ihr eigenes Haus wäre. Wir werden dieses Haus und sein Team in bester Erinnerung behalten. Danke nochmals an alle.

Boutique hôtel de bon standing situé dans une rue piétonne de la partie historique d'une ville balnéaire.
Personnel attentif. Petit déjeuner réalisé avec des produits \"maison\" de grande qualité permettant de découvrir les richesses culinaires crétoises (sucré-salé). Stationnement face à l'hôtel possible et payant.

Wat een heerlijk verblijf. Fantastische kamer, heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt en supervriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Twee minpuntjes, airco maakte raar geluid, erg weinig stopcontacten.
