To be honest, this little farm southwestern to the old monastery of Agios Arsenios is probably the nicest appartment we have ever been to -we fell in love with this place immediately <3. The view is amazing, you can enjoy a 180° view of beautiful hills with typical mediterranian vegetation aswell as the ocean in the distance. This place has everything you need, a very well equimped kitchen, a beautiful bathroom with a huge shower and a terrasse where you can enjoy complete privacy. The only intruder was a sweet cat, that enjoyed to sleep on the terrasse and we were absolutely happy about this - makes this cycladic house even more authentic :)
The farm is full of olive trees, figs, Cactus figs and differnt medeterranian herbs aswell as a small group of chicken- fresh eggs included ;)
I will not tell you more about the appartment, you have to see it yourself ;)
Alain, who owns the little appartment is a very nice guy who arranged everything for us and also recommended Europe Rental Cars, which made a fair deal for us. Noteworthy is, that you definitely will need a car for your stay or use taxi service to go to restaurants or visist beaches.
Last but not least, I also have to mention Maria, who lives on the farm with her husband. She was our contact person and made our stay absolutely perfect. She had great recommendations for beaches and restaurantes and gifted us with a very tasty oregano and some kind of greek Vyssino (Red grapes and almonds) which we ate with greek yoghurt. Heaven!
Thank you Alain and Maria,
we definitely plan to come back !
Greetings Johanna and Paul
