We spent 7 nights at Manos' home in Chora, Patmos.
The home is in keeping with Patmian design. The walls are whitewashed and wooden beams make up the ceiling. The interior is traditional yet elegant; Manos clearly has a great eye for these things. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The house could sleep 6 people very comfortably. The terrace overlooks the Chapel of Profitis Ilias and offers spectacular views of the island.
Not only is it a beautiful home, but the trip was made memorable by our great host, Manos. Manos was always on the other end of the phone to answer our multiple, and probably frustrating, requests. He has a fantastic housekeeper in Maria, who was also always nearby to assist us.
We return home with a longing for more time at Manos'. It's rare to find a listing as elegant and well looked after as this. I would recommend it to anyone.
If the powers that be are reading, I would grant Manos the status of Superhost in an instant.
5 stars all round.
