Description from owner

Description

This cozy traditional stone house, stands in quiet nature hidden in the typical Cretan landscape , just at five minute walk distance from the center of the picturesque well preserved village of Douliana, just 3 kilometres from the blue flags of the beaches of Kalives, Almirida and Kera, and at the same time very close to many walking /trekking destinations.

The house can accommodate 5 people with 1 bedroom with double bed, one attic with 2 single beds and 1 couch that easily become bed next to the fire place.

Manolis House is not in a mainstream touristic settlement. The vivid hot spots of action (night life, beaches and fancy restaurants) are within 10min range by car, but in Douliana you can have this deep relaxed feeling. As if you were isolated ,or even lost. Soundtrack to that: Singing Birds. Specially on the mornings.

Surrounded by cypress trees, hidden in the typical Cretan landscape, Manolis House gives a quality service, with all the features that will guarantee your pleasant stay.

All rooms have views of the surrounding green hills. The sitting /dining room seats up to six people and leads into a small but fully equipped kitchen. (fridge, boiler, coffee pot, small oven, 2 hot plates)

The house features also unique handmade furniture from local cypress wood, and a careful selection of traditional and modern artworks decorates the pleasant interior.

Central heating, fireplace, ceiling fans, A/C included.

Spacious wardrobes in the bedroom and safe for your value items.

Also a bathroom with shower, a fireplace with internet access. We have deliberately removed TV appliances. We can provide you however if you ask for it, with no extra cost. (Greek channels only).

The exteriors are including a swimming pool , (shared for both houses, 4.50 x 9.50 m, 1.40 m depth ).The pool is seasonal. Opens around first of May till middle of November. These limits are adjusted accoring to the reservations each year.

We also provide sun umbrellas -the Cretan sun is intense- and we have a range of furniture including patio coffee table & chairs , sunbeds and a children's play area, plus easy parking and complimentary bicycles for easy rides.

All guests have access to the gardens with season vegetables and fresh eggs! Ask Mr Manolis in your arrival about more info.
