아라파키스 히스토릭 캐슬(Arapakis Historic Castle)

The perfect place for a nice, quiet stay with spacious rooms, well equipped, excellent service and breakfast.

Really relaxing. I would recommend to all that want to enjoy a holiday that is not filled with busy noises and pushy people. They were great111

I stayed there for a week through a time-share exchange. The castle is nicely renovated and is in the village of Haria, 5 km away from Areopolis. I had an appar**ent consisting of a small kitchen (with cooking eyes only and a small refriferator) with a small living room, the main bedroom and the bathroom. The double bed was a bit narrow, with excellent linen, pillows and matress. But except the wardrobe, there were no hangers in it to hang anything. Also the safebox was out of order (no batteries in it). The bath was narrow and fat people can not enter in the dusch cabin. In the dusch cabin there was no stand for the soap etc... In the kitchen there were several useful utensils and there was offered in vases greek coffee, filter coffee and sugar, to make your own. There were also tablets and mechanism for the mosquitos. In the summer you surely need the air-conditioning, and this was the first hotel in many years having the filters of it cleaned! We had a small veranda, where is nice to sit seeing other towers next to the castle and enjoying nature. We were next to a fruit garden with lemon trees and other trees. The castle is quiet. Next to it there is a rooster, who begins at 4 o' clock in the morning. You can also listen to other roosters shouting, as the place is very quiet. They serve a buffet breakfast made from local products (lalagia, omelete with herbs, honey, local cheese, galatopita etc) , which is tasty and nice, but it is charged extra 8 Euros for every person. We had cleanliness every day and the complex is very clean. There was free WiFi. Outside the castle there is a small old private church, which you can visit. From there you can tour the whole Mani area. They give you information about the area, where to go etc. You can find super markets and restaurants in Areopolis (5km) and Pyrgos Dirou (2 km). I had a very nice time there. Then why 4 stars instead of 5? Because I find it expensive to have an appar**ent like the one I had, costing 150 Euros per day, plus 16 Euros for breakfast and having some things missing in the room. But in general the area of Mani is expensive. Notice that you need a car there. The reception and the owner Mrs. Keti are polite and friendly.

Awesome establishment in a great location !
