Manolis Pachakis has lovingly transformed this 118-year-old mansion in Pitsidia into a very special place. As soon as you enter the impressive hallway, you can feel the magic of this wonderful old stone building. Almost all the furniture was made by Manolis himself from sustainable materials such as old doors, windows, wooden barrels or similar. Red Beach studio has a living/dining area, a very well-equipped kitchenette, a bathroom and a fascinating sleeping gallery. Furthermore, there are two large terraces, one in front and the other behind the house. These can be used by all the guests of the 3 studios + 1 flat. The Artist House is located in the centre of Pitsidia, a small, quiet village on the south coast of Crete. Pitsidia is so centrally located that you don't have far to go for anything, be it the sea, the mountains, gorges, caves, valleys, excavations or towns. Everyone can organise their holiday individually here and enjoy it wonderfully. In Pitsidia, everything is within walking distance. For example, you can have a great breakfast in the "Onira" and end the evening with a good glass of wine in one of the many delicious restaurants. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the Komos beach, and only five minutes by car. There are music events on the village square twice a week. These evenings have a great atmosphere. There are easy as well as adventurous hiking possibilities in the surrounding area..... There are many sights to explore: Palace of Phaistos, Gortyna and Agia Triada archaeological sites, Moni Odigitrias monastery and much more. Beautiful beaches: Komos (5 minutes by car), Matala, Red Beach, Kalamaki, Agio Farago, Lentas,Tripiti, Preveli, etc. The Natural History Museum in Vori can also be reached quickly. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchenette - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 377 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83310000/83305400/83305362/4c50b4ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dimokritos Apartment Pitsidia Pitsidia - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=83305362&PinnedHotelID=83305362&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111790000/111781700/111781616/4d266233.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quiet house in southern Crete, picturesque sea and mountain views, beach within walking distance Pitsidia - Washer - Air conditioning - Parking available - Fireplace 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=111781616&PinnedHotelID=111781616&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36980000/36977800/36977798/1762fd64.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Apartment in Kalamaki Riviera Unknown - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=36977798&PinnedHotelID=36977798&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90140000/90132500/90132413/fd6fe7ea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### fantastic studio Komos, sleeping gallery, kitchenette, bathroom, private balcony Pitsidia - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=90132413&PinnedHotelID=90132413&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90230000/90221100/90221086/652fa44b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### fantastic studio Agio Farago, sleeping gallery, kitchenette, bathroom Pitsidia - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=90221086&PinnedHotelID=90221086&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95660000/95651400/95651322/c5b78a5c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gemütliche Ferienwohnung im Gartenparadies in Meeresnähe Agios Ioannis - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=95651322&PinnedHotelID=95651322&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100360000/100352400/100352310/dc8fa7d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Finika House & Garden - Traditional charm with modern comfort.

In Summe waren wir zwei Wochen in dieser Ferienwohnung und wir haben nichts vermisst. Die Wohnung ist mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Innerhalb der zwei Wochen bekam wir zweimal frische Handtücher, Bettwäsche und die Wohnung wurde geputzt - So etwas kennen wir von anderen Ferienwohnung nicht. Zu Beginn wurden alle Gäste. Die Manolis hatte zu einem großen Barbecue eingeladen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. ##### Daniel S. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2023
