Manolis house is the perfect getaway. Breathtaking view of the Libyan sea and the most amazing starry sky you will ever see! You can see the milky way and many shooting stars. Nice garden with lemon and pomegranate trees! Four lovely and friendly cats. A hammock, a big outdoor grill, a table and four chairs on the shady patio.
The kitchen has everything you need and more! Enough towels (also for the beach) and beach supply (parasol).
The beds could use a little upgrade, the mattresses seemed a bit old and were uncomfortable. Two bathrooms and toilets (upstairs and downstairs) which is very comfortable. If the wind gets really blowy (which happens every now and then as we’ve been told) and you want to stay inside you might miss a little coziness (carpet, more comfortable sofa), but there is a fireplace (and enough wood) which is a big pro.
If you are traveling with small children (like we did), keep in mind, that there are no toys whatsoever. For us, it was no problem, we had something with us, did day trips, went to beaches and the children loved to play with the cats. But if you want to relax and enjoy the view while the kids are playing you need to bring it yourself (and this house is definitely made for relaxing on the sunbeds and enjoying the marvelous view)!
The outside area is perfectly safe for small children (fence all around) and we were provided with a baby chair and baby bed, thsnk you very much! Inside there is a stairway, just fyi. Also, we were allowed to use the pool of Vrachos Villas (for the cost of a coffee or drink), which is only a 3 minute walk. You should eat there, the food is authentic and delicious!
The surrounding is sparsely populated (which is nice and relaxing, but might be a challenge with kids) - the next mini market is 10 minutes by car, a real supermarket is a ~ 30 minutes drive. Preveli Palm beach is about 15 minutes by car, Triopetra 10 minutes, Ligres beach around 7 minutes (have something to eat/drink in the taverna with front row beach view).
We loved to stay at Manolis house and if you are looking for a perfectly equipped house (besides the mattresses/beds) in calm surroundings with spectacular views and a garden to relax, this is your place! Dafni is really nice and answering all questions promptly! Thank you very much for everything!
PS: we stayed at the end of October. The first days have been nice and warm, the last three days were very windy. ;-)
