As soon as we arrived Manolis greeted us with such warmth and friendship that I knew we'd found the right place for a week of rest. The house itself is beautifully and tastefully constructed and decorated in the traditional style and is located so that a panoramic view across the valley to the huge mountain of Psiloritis can be seen from the balcony rooftop. It was such a relaxing place, especially with Manolis' mama coming round with home cooked food many mornings and we felt like part of the village life. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Manolis' Eco House to anyone looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing to spent a few days or longer. Its a great base to explore some of the southern beaches and its also really easy to get to Rethymnon in the north. Having a car is essential though.
