Monthly Rentals in Moni Aretiou

Maria's accommodation is located in a small village that is not touristy, if you are looking for calm and authenticity it is the ideal place. So of course we searched a little but a resident of the village kindly took us there. Apart from the apartment being very good, our hostess left us plenty of food and we thank her again for her rather exceptional generosity.

The Drakoni House is a unique, wonderful place that was built and furnished with a lot of love. Alexandros paid a lot of attention to detail during construction and made an effort to preserve as many remnants of the old house as possible. This charm comes across very well. We were only there for a week, but it was enough time for us to feel very much at home and to relax. The nearest village is beautiful and has lots of nice little restaurants. Alexandros' tips made us feel very involved and he made the vacation very special. We will definitely come back.

We loved our 5 night stay here. Maria is a kind and helpful host who booked taxis for us and responded quickly to any questions we had. The apartment is very comfortable and nicely furnished with a wonderful view of Spinalonga and the sea as other guests have described. We really appreciated Maria's thoughtfulness in providing milk, fruit, snacks, and wine. The kitchen is also well stocked with condiments and tea and coffee. It is a 10 -15 minute walk down the hill to the beach and gorgeous turquoise blue water for swimming (take reef shoes or thongs for the smooth stone beach though). Of course that also means a walk back up the hill with no shade... Plaka is a delightful, small village with great restaurants overlooking the water. Maria's place is such a lovely place to relax and enjoy the wonderful view. You won't be disappointed.

Wow, we have been staying at air b&bs for many years and the Mountain House at Perampela is amazing and Vangelis the best host we have met. His attention to detail in the facilities in the house, his welcome and ongoing support and recommendations throughout our stay were second to none. The tiny village is also incredibly welcoming with neighbours bringing us both some fresh milk one morning and celebration bread after a service at the local church. Despite visiting in mid November we found plenty to do and enjoyed visiting local places, tavernas, and hikes often with ideas from Vangelis to get us started. The house has everything you need and we enjoyed cooking fresh meals on several days using produce left by Vangelis and from the local supermarket and markets. The house is also in such a peaceful and beautiful location while still within an easy drive of tourist destinations, beaches and tavernas. We would highly recommend this stay it is a must!
