With an air of unfussy elegance Penthe Manor House will be a memorable venue for your long awaited getaway. This beautifully restored house is the very essence of country charm.

Such a stunning historic property, will be your ideal family escape, a gathering with friends in the country or a sophisticated getaway. If you can tear your eyes away from the mesmerising beauty of the landscape, you will find that Penthe Manor House is simply stunning. It has been developed and improved over the years, whilst it has always been sympathetic to the original architecture, making this a wonderfully characterful historic home. And a home it truly is, with interior decor created with a view to comfort and history.

Following the local architecture trend inspired by Venetian architects this House was renovated by local craftsmen with commitment, enthusiasm and respect. Standing as a fortress, the house is surrounded by high stone walls which enclose its authenticity inside. The result is a delightful haven with the space of a manor house and the feel of calmness and rejuvenation.

From the magnificent wooden door entrance bearing the family coat of arms, guest will review the strictly rectangular shape of the manor and the traditional old wooden roof with Venetian style arcs and carved stones, which have been reconstructed with every attention to detail, ensuring the traditional style is maintained.

Utterly delightful; No other words will do. A dream hideaway in the beautiful village of Koumoi, with easy access to both South and North beaches of Crete. It’s 18km away from Rethymnon City and 18km from Plakias and Preveli beaches. The elaborate stone walls, the traditional lintel folding windows, the large stone arcs and the stone-built arches are all unique characteristics of the impressive local architecture which was deeply inspired by Venetians.

Where the interior décor takes inspiration from nature’s palette – fresh, colourful and inviting…Penthe Manor House lends itself to multi-generational get togethers, special gatherings and corporate escapes. This is the perfect base from which to explore the area while experiencing the joys of living in a house that has been part of that history over the years.

Internal Living | Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The seamlessly constructed inner spaces and the internal decoration with unique and carefully selected furniture and light fixtures, the tall ceilings with their wooden beams and the intricate wooden staircases are perhaps best compared to an art installation rather than an architectural structure, and they are key in creating an intimate atmosphere that transports visitors back to the previous centuries.

The spacious living areas on the ground and first floor have independent entrances internally and they communicate externally through the spacious balcony with a stone staircase, as well as on the ground level via the courtyard entrance.

A wonderfully decorated bedroom is located on the first floor, boasting a mezzanine bedroom with a Queen Size bed (1,60x2,00), lightened up with natural light from the windows and with direct access to the balcony with patio furniture. In addition, there is a uniquely designed area with a sofa bed (with real mattresses, 0,90x2,00), where two more guests can be accommodated. From there, a staircase leads to the upper floor where the guests will be welcomed by the mezzanine bedroom.

The three remaining bedrooms are located on the second floor. Following a wooden staircase you will be welcomed by the first bedroom, featuring a Queen Size bed (1,60x2,00), lightened up with natural light from the windows. There is also a sofa bed available in the bedroom, (with real mattresses, 0,90x2,00), where two more guests can be accommodated.

Last but not least, guests will be welcomed by the two further bedrooms on the second floor, both featuring single beds (0,90x2,00) and lightened up with natural light from the windows. Both of the bedrooms offer direct access to the roof terrace.
