Villa Kokkino Skufitza,charming holiday home made of clay, pool, private garden

This new unique holiday home was built from natural materials such as sand, clay, lime, straw and bamboo.

Enjoy the ideal and healthy indoor climate of a mud house! Very special is also the equipment.

Each piece of furniture is handmade and unique and gives the house an amazing atmosphere.

With the two bedrooms, each with en suite bathroom, is the holiday home ideal for couples or families. From the kitchen-livingroom you reach the covered terrace and the large garden with lawn and banana plants.

Mr. Manolis Pachakis is the owner and builder of this charming place. You can say he is also an artist who likes to work with wild natural stones, which he has lovingly integrated into the outside areas and the unique houses.

Familiär, gastfreundlich mit gutem Ärger

Wer keine großen Hotels mag, sondern lieber ewas Familiäres und Individuelles bevorzugt ist hier richtig. Manolis ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber. Trotz rudimentärer Fremdsprachenkenntnisse war er immer sehr offen und zuvorkommend und hatte immer einen Spaß für die Kinder auf Lager. Die ganze Organisation und Kommunikation lief ansonsten über Bärbel, welche immer gut erreichbar war. Die Ortschaft ist ländlich, jedoch mit guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und zum Teil erstklassigen Restaurants. Volle Empfehlung.
