A unique, fully restored, early 19th Century Manor next to a landmark of the Old Town of Rethymno, the Rimondi Fountain.This 193 sqm three-storey Manor on a 115 sqm plot was originally built in two phases: the ground floor dates back to the early 19th Century, the Ottoman rule days, while the upper floors were originally built in the post-WW II period, in the 1950s.

All openings on the facade were maintained, while two more were added, facing the inner courtyard, for natural light. All window frames were replaced with modern wooden panelled ones. The three-pitch roof was repaired using wooden trusses, beams, and tiles arranged to match the original structure.The rectangular doorway from the courtyard to the house, with its triangular masonry cladding, is the main architectural feature emphasized in the restoration. All floors are covered with beige limestone, similar to that of the Rimondi Fountain. Earthy, light colours were used for the fixed interior elements.
