The gallery-studio Red Beach is one of 4 residential units in the beautifully renovated "The Artist Houseâ. 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.
Das Studio Red Beach im Artist House ist toll. Von Pitsidia aus kann man herrliche AusflĂŒge machen.
Unser Gastgeber Manolis und BĂ€rbel waren sehr nett
Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt. Guter Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr AktivitĂ€ten im mittleren Kreta.
Sehr netter Vermieter.
Schönes gut eingerivchtetes Appartment.
Wir waren das erste Mal in Kreta, und habe die Ferienwohnung hier auf FeWo-direkt gefunden.
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 HandtĂŒcher, BettwĂ€sche und die Wohnung wurde geputzt - So etwas kennen wir von anderen Ferienwohnung nicht.
Zu Beginn wurden alle GĂ€ste. Die Manolis hatte zu einem groĂen Barbecue eingeladen.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
We enjoyed our stay in The Artists House very much. Manolis and BĂ€rbel did everything for us to feel 'at home'! The house and the environment were amazing! Pitsidia is a nice small village, with beatiful beaches to explore. A lot of culture, nice foot, lovely people and sunshine! Thanks Manolis for a great time at your beautiful house!
