Monthly Rentals in Mesonisia

A delightful place to stay. Great communication from booking to end of stay. The villa was beautiful and clean and cleaned again half way through. Everything we needed (including sharp knives). Local shop, tavernas and restaurant only 5 minutes away. Only slight (& very slight ) negative was not having 2 sets of keys. If staying in slightly separate upstairs room then need others to be awake to access kitchen - teens not to keen on our knocking 🤣. Otherwise a well recommended beautiful villa. Thank you 🙏

We loved our stay at Meronas eco house. We travel with airbnb regularly and this is exactly why we love the platform. Manolis has renovated it with love & attention to details and with respect for traditions. Yet it’s comfy & well heated. A home with a soul! It was a privilege to stay there (with our family of 4) for 2 days! We loved the food present upon arrival & the bread, cake & pastries brought by mama Manolis. Manolis was not there to meet personally but he was very responsive via chat and he had sent us a lot of info about the house & tips for our travel itinerary. The taverns in Meronas were still closed (season starts after Easter) so we enjoyed simple home cooked meals in de ambiance of the house. The supermarket a few kms further was very well stocked and had a local cheeses & meat counter with very friendly service. We love the Amari valley! We hiked the Patsos gorge (amazing in spring!) And visited Arkadi & Preveli monasteries and Preveli gorge. Phaistos was nice too!

The house is truly something special. The interior and design of the house is super tasteful and combines traditional Crete with modern elements. Everything in the house was spotless and brand-new. The view from the terrace was breathtaking and the courtyard was very cosy. We can only recommend this gem of house at Crete. The location is a little remote but perfect to relax and enjoy Crete off the beaten paths. We hope we will come back. Also the village where the house is located is so picturesque. Amazing local tavern with great authentic food are in walking distance.

Manolis Villa is in a stunning location, surrounded by mountains, with Mount Ida, the highest peak and the legendary birthplace of Zeus, right in front of you. The villa is located in a small village that offers an authentic taste of Cretan life. You’ll wake up to the sound of goat and sheep bells, and on Sundays, the charming ring of church bells. Walking through the narrow streets, you’ll find fresh fruit, olive groves, vineyards, and small hidden churches. Beautiful beaches are about an hour’s drive away, with breathtaking views along the way. Manolis and Rumi’s hospitality is exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and even spoiled. Manolis greeted us with treats and lots of information about Crete, while Rumi made sure we had everything we needed, cooking delicious traditional dishes for us in the evenings. This is a place you’ll definitely want to visit again!
