Z Boutique Hotel

We LOVED everything about Z Boutique Hotel The location is perfect - at the quiet end of a street which leads straight into the heart of the beautiful village of Panormos. The hotel itself is tastefully converted with exposed stonework and beautifully decorated and furnished throughout and spotlessly clean. Breakfasts are to die for! The most interesting choice of foods I've ever known on a breakfast buffet and every day there was something new to try. Everything was prepared by the wonderful Nikki or her lovely daughter Nancy and beautifully presented and plentiful. This is a true gem of a hotel managed by Nikki - a charming and vibrant woman whose hospitality was second to none, who was incredibly helpful and was also tremendous fun with a great sense of humour. We stayed in the Silene suite on the top floor of the hotel. It has a private and very large terrace overlooking the garden and plunge pool. It was simply perfect! We breakfasted every morning in the garden which is really peaceful - it was a lovely way to start each day. There are several sun beds in the garden surrounding the plunge pool. The pool is small, spotlessly clean and perfect for dipping into to cool off in on hot afternoons when we came back from a day out. We spent most of our days at Spilies Beach which is a short drive from the hotel. Would highly recommend a drive into the mountains up to Margarites and on to the Museum of Archeology at Eleftherna. A day trip to Rethymnon was also a good day out. Our evenings were spent wandering out from the hotel and down the pretty stone road for just 200 metres to the excellent Olive Tree Bar for cocktails and draft Mythos before heading off to one of the many excellent tavernas for dinner - all within easy walking distance. So don't even pause before booking a stay at Z Boutique Hotel if you're looking for a peaceful relaxing stay in a quiet typically Cretan village where there are so many great places to eat.

This is an excellent hotel with very friendly staff and cleaning personnel. The breakfast is fantastic and accommodation is clean and very nice, close to good restaurants and beaches. This is an ideal spot to explore the area with MTB or car or just relax.

Quelle belle surprise que ce petit hôtel de charme! Personnel aux petits soins, Nicki qui prépare des petits déjeuners frais tous les matins, elle déplace même les tables au bord de la piscine quand il fait beau!! Chambre très agréable en mur de pierres apparentes, la nôtre avait une petite terrasse privative. Jolie deco, roof top vue sur mer. Nous avons passé une semaine extraordinaire! Merci à Nicki et Julia, vous avez rendu notre séjour inoubliable. Je recommande cet hôtel à 100%.
