Title: Help wanted for our honeymoon!
Post by: julie-1402 on January 28, 2012, 08:01:23 PM
We have been to Arillas for the past 2 years and are returning back this August for our honeymoon and are looking in to possibly renting a villa with a private pool.

Is there any people could suggest and somewhere that is walking distance into the centre of Arillas?

Thanks Julie

August is a very popular month. You will find a good list of excellent villas on the home page but many are family sized and only a few within a short walking distance.
You can also find availability and prices as you search most of them.

For Jen and my definition of walking distance the answer is no. And I guess that all of those reasonably nearby are already fully booked for August. Worth contacting the ones listed here on arillas.com http://www.arillas.com/info/villas (http://www.arillas.com/info/villas) to confirm what I'm thinking.

Whatever you decide, best wishes to you both. Wish Jen and I had been able to spend our honeymoon in Arillas.... But it would have been a beautiful, rural and very different place in 1972. And we would never have come back to the UK.

This summer we're staying just over the hill at san steph at Romanza Villa, near the church, should be a ten minute march to arillas, and half an hour back! If you would go for a V. nice apartment rather than villa, I would contact Christos at kalloudis and ask for one of his private apartments.

Thanks for all the replies, I will look into them all!

We were looking all over for holiday destinations for our honeymoon and thought why look elsewhere when Arillas has everything we need and want!

QuoteArillas has everything we need and want!

On that wavelength luvvers. It does.

We honeymooned in Torquay in what is now an old persons care home - it was called Ardmore Hotel when we stayed in 1972. Ironic really.

Forget about pools and villas. Pick something you will treasure and remember forever. For all the right reasons.

Hey I am hoping to renew our wedding vows in Arillas in 2 years, with lots of family attending hopefully.  30 years for us then.  I wish we had had our honeymoon in Arillas, couldn't afford it then.

Thanks Kev, will do, did you have the ceremony in Arillas and what about after where did you celebrate?  I would prefer Arillas or even Nikos bar would be great.

Karen we had ours using the vicar from Holy Trinity who kindly travelled to Arillas (only asked for a donation) then coached all my guests via arkokl to dionysos.It was simply spectacuar. Will hunt out a pic of the table. Everyone was blown away when they saw that view! We just told Vasilis at Dionysos what amount of money we had and he made it fit! We supplied some wine on the table but then everyone bought their own! Then it was back down to the coconut where Robbie Williams very kindly was in town haha!It hardly cost us anything but was by far one of the best days of my life x
