Antonia's stonebuilt mansion with a private pool

- La maison est magnifique et décorée minutieusement, nous avons adoré les salons exterieurs et la piscine ainsi que les plantes. - Rethymon se trouve à environ 15min et les plages également. - Il y avait également une taverne très sympathique dans le village et 2 petits supermarché. - La propriétaire très sympathique nous a rapidement fait faire le tour du propriétaire.

- les jeunes du village ont voulu nous effrayer et ont pénétré la propriété tard dans la soirée(parking), ils ont allumé des lumières extérieures, ils hurlaient, et cassaient des vitres de la maison en contre bas, nous avons appelé la police et ils n'ont pas recommencé le lendemain. - peu de rangement/placard

We liked the pool area, the mountain view and the town of Armenoi. ☹️We contacted the owner prior to booking this property as we were looking to stay at a venue which had adequate facilities for my wife and I (and our immediate families), to get ready on our wedding day. The owner answered our initial questions, and we happily booked the home. Unfortunately, she failed to mention that the home is incredibly difficult to access and that no group transport vehicle would be able to fit through the narrow streets in which it is located. The driveway is also very tight and steep, with not many cars able to make the climb. This was very disappointing as we all had to walk down to the Main Street to meet our wedding transport, which was particularly difficult for the women in the heat, all dressed up and in heels. It also meant I had to pick up the wedding stylists and the photographer and all their equipment from the street, in order to get them to the home – on my own wedding day! To call this property a ‘mansion’ is also a far stretch and misleading. There are two small bedrooms located downstairs (adjoined by one door), as well as two small bathrooms. Upstairs consists of another bathroom and small bedroom, and a kitchenette/ living area that connects to the alfresco and pool areas.

The lighting was very dark within the bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms which made getting ready very difficult. The wedding stylist had to utilise the alfresco area in the heat to get the girls ready, as there is no outdoor fan or cooling. The toilets were also very old - requiring the pull of a lever to flush. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the property was also disappointing. We spent the entire day before our wedding cleaning dust and stains off various surfaces including the tables, benchtops, light switches and tv remotes. There was also the most uncomfortable, suffocating smell of what can be described as oil-based-paint or varnish, which made it very hard to sleep at night. To try combat the toxic fumes, we opened the window (which doesn’t have a fly screen) and this allowed mosquitos and insects to enter and bite us throughout the night. All the bedroom robes and storage compartments were full of the owner’s own belongings, leaving us with no room to unpack our suitcases. We needed to iron some clothes on the wedding day, and the iron supplied was leaking water and had rust and black build-up all over it, making it unusable. Looking back at the photos, furniture has been changed and moved around and the alfresco area looks completely different. There is no longer a couch in this area or outdoor sink beneath the window. It has since been ripped out and left unfinished. All in all, we were embarrassed that we had booked this property as our wedding accommodation and that we were mislead by the photos. It wasn’t an enjoyable stay for the purposes in which we intended to use it, which were made very clear from the outset.

Beautiful and comfy renovation. Every furnitures needed and even more. Even 2 different places for BBQ The place is also very calm. Antonia is very friendly, reactive and easy to communicate with

Nothing to complain
