A Place Made for Carefree Family Moments

We are a family raised with the values of Cretan hospitality: a door that is always open, a table set for everyone, and the joy of making the guest feel at home.
With this philosophy, we created Palio Damnoni Residences — a place made with love, simplicity, and respect for every family that trusts us with their holidays.

For us, Palio Damnoni Residences is not simply a business.
It is our way of sharing the warmth of our land, offering a truly human experience, and creating beautiful memories for those who visit us.
We welcome you with joy!

Baby Facilities

We know well how important it is for parents to truly relax while their children enjoy the summer carefree. That is why we designed our residences to fully meet the needs of a modern family: spacious areas, functional amenities, cleanliness, safety, and above all… enjoyable activities for the children.

We have arranged the outdoor and indoor spaces with plenty of games so that our little friends can take a break from phones and tablets, play, run, create, and forget about technology, even for a while. We want them to experience summer as we did as children in Crete — freely, carefreely, and with lots of laughter.

Ioanna was an amazing host, she met us at the house upon arrival and gave us a very useful tour of the house and its amenities/appliances. She is so kind and communicative, and had some snacks to greet us which was much appreciated after a long travel day!

Η Ιωάννα ήταν μία από τις καλύτερες οικοδεσπότες στην Airbnb όλων των εποχών. Ήταν τόσο φιλόξενη, ευγενική και εξυπηρετική. Ο χώρος της ήταν όμορφος και ακριβώς πάνω στο νερό, όπως φαίνεται στην εικόνα. Είχε την καλοσύνη να έρθει για να πραγματοποιήσει την άφιξή της και να φέρει μικρά δώρα κατά τη διάρκεια της διαμονής μας. Απολαύσαμε πολύ το ταξίδι μας.

Ioanna goes above and beyond to make stays special and comfortable. The beach is magical, the accommodations are lovely, especially being able to look out at the water from almost anywhere.
We had some snags with losing power, losing internet and a lot of mosquitos in the house. Ioanna made sure to get everything back in order very quickly and was always responsive and helpful.

We had a great experience through out. The communication before and during our stay was very good and the house is a real gem with stunning views and direct beach access. We very much appreciated the fresh fruits and wine waiting for us after a long trip and absolutely loved the attention to detail.

This place is truly incredible. What makes it besides the beautiful house and view is the service itself. The host went above and beyond to make us feel special. She had fresh fruit from her garden the first day, brought us pastries, and even came to say goodbye on the last day. Any day we needed a recommendation, help, or even a pizza delivery – she was there to help. The location is SO surreal.

House is super well equipment and location is perfect , in the old port area, on the water, great views . Very charming house and I think surely the nicest property in the area. Jimmy who supported us during our visit was fantastic and super available . Property was a touch tricky to find as we didn’t know the area, but we had lots of help to navigate
