Monthly Rentals in Vrontisi Monastery

The apartment is beautifully laid within a village in central Crete. It is a very calm surrounding, no noises which was refreshing for me. There aren't any huge supermarkets around in the vicinity but shops for the necessary bits within the village or the next village as well as cafes and diners. Definitely need to get a hire car to do any meaningful exploring. Christina was always very helpful and responded within hours. She is happy to provide any tips, etc. You get a little care package before check-in which is very handy and thoughtful. It should be noted that the house has thick wall which is a godsend to escape the summer heat. In Winter or early Spring there might be the chance that it is a bit cold inside but there are movable radiators in the household. I found that the lighting fixtures on the wall make for a particular cozy atmosphere in the tastefully furnished living quarters. I really enjoyed the stay in this apartment and would highly recommend.

The villa is a wonderful place to relax end enjoy Cretaen nature and lifestyle. We found the house among olive trees and goatbells perfect for our holidays and to explore great gorges, the mountains and the south of Crete. Everything was prepared in the villa, nothing missed. The fridge was stuffed with useful things to survive the following days. Alexandra prepared dumplings for a welcome and a wonderful Mussaka after some days. The hosts were easily to contact at any time. We all enjoyed the place and can absolutely recommend it for everybody who wants to escape from busy big-city- life.

Our second visit to Il Silenzio and we hope it will not be the last! We stayed last year when the magical view from the porch enchanted us. Though again we were only two, there is a nice pullout couch for more and another apartment upstairs for rent as well if you have a group. We cook so it was handy to have a kitchen full of utensils, a gas range (I don’t even have one at home!), refrigerator, washing machine and spacious place to hang laundry. We had friends over to enjoy the veranda and to sip wine Virginia left for us. Comfortable bed, clean sheets, lots of blankets, private parking and markets/tavernas nearby. So much to do and see but we felt at home. Thanks again for another wonderful to experience at your home!

The landlords are lovely and generous. Hosting was beyond expectations. His arrival is a couple with three children and the house was perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped and the return with the balcony is great. Excellent restaurants around and walking distance to the lake and hiking trails.
