Description
The Matala Gallery Apartment is one of four units in the beautifully renovated "The Artist House" .
Manolis Pachakis has lovingly and artistically 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.
The Matala flat has a living/dining area with smart TV, a very well-equipped kitchenette, bathroom and large sleeping gallery, as well as a second separate bedroom. A private balcony adjacent to the living area gives views of the beautiful Ida Mountains. Furthermore, there are two large terraces, one in front and the other behind the house. These can be used by all guests of the 3 studios + the "Apartment Matala".

Summer vacation 2024
The house is very lovingly designed artistically. The location is very good; you can reach the beach on foot, but you are far enough from the coast to enjoy the holidays in a nice village in complete relaxation. Hopefully, Pitsidia will continue to be spared from mass tourism!

We can unreservedly recommend the apartment!
Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and the communication was flawless before and during our stay. The apartment was very clean, and we lacked nothing. Everything you need is within walking distance, and it only takes half an hour to walk to the beach. Manolis's hospitality was great. A joint excursion and regularly held BBQs were real highlights! Thank you for this unforgettable vacation experience; we would love to come back!

Traumhaft
The apartment is wonderfully furnished. You have everything you need (air conditioning, kitchen, coffee maker, etc.) and the attention to detail in the decoration and furnishings is outstanding. We were once invited by Manolis (the landlord) to a self-cooked dinner at Paradiso, and that was also delicious. Overall, a highly recommended apartment and a highly recommended landlord!

Everything as described in the ad!
In addition, a large terrace with a great view over parts of the village and the Cretan mountains. The host made sure that we met someone who speaks German and received us exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Special requests were not a problem. The house is located not far from the village square and yet quiet. Everything is brand new and has an individual, Cretan, and creative character. Fully recommended! Thank you for everything! P.S.: It caters to all needs and preferences: hiking, beach, swimming, traditional and also individual taverns and restaurants, surrounding villages worth visiting, and historical sites.

Unique place
We enjoyed staying in Manolis place since we felt very comfortable and welcomed. Manoli is a very kind host with lots of creative energy which is reflected in the way he built and decorated the studios. The flat provided everything we needed and the shared terrace has a beautiful view which allows you to spend peaceful hours there too. Thanks to Bärbel, who was handling the check-in and communication very smooth and friendly, we arrived and installed without any problem and could get in touch easily whenever it was needed. We can strongly recommend this . Big thank you to Manoli and Bärbel!

We felt at home!
Our stay in the apartment was wonderful. We were there for a little over two weeks, two adults and a toddler. It was very clean, very fast and uncomplicated communication with Bärbel, and once a week there was a great BBQ with Manolis.

Top accommodation
"It was a great vacation. The apartment contributed significantly to this and we were very satisfied. Manolis, an artist and landlord, decorated the apartment in a very special style. Every day you could find something new. His free BBQ evenings for his guests were also a highlight. Bärbel, his German assistant, explained the process upon arrival and gave valuable tips. Anyone who vacations with Manolis catches the "Crete fever" and dreams of the next vacation."
