This Greek mansion was once owned by one of the most powerful families on the island. Originally, the first floor was inhabited by the family, while the lovely canava served as the winery and cellar. The Vinsanto produced here was exported to Russia, where it was used by the Orthodox Church for holy communion. Today the original structure has been restored to its original splendor, retaining the original layout while taking advantage of the canava for more living space. Outside there are various terraces and also a private swimming pool (5m x 6m).
This traditional mansion has been divided into two spacious, self-contained units, rented together with a pool. The first floor residence is furnished in traditional Greek decor, while the cavana beneath is more modern and stylish with its rounded edges and unique cave-like atmosphere. The entrance of the villa leads into a large cobbled courtyard, complete with a small pool. A stone stairway leads to the first floor, where there are large terraces and panoramic views of the village. First Floor: A traditional, well-equipped kitchen (stove, coffee maker, electric barbecue) leads into a large dining room (seats six) with original wooden floors and vaulted ceiling, perfect for entertaining. There is also a comfortable lounge. The spacious master bedroom has a 180 cm king-size bed. A staircase leads up to a private landing and a second large bedroom with a 180 cm king-size bed. These two rooms share a bathroom with a sink, toilet, and open shower. Canava (Ground): Carved into the rock face, this former wine cellar provides a cool, relaxing haven during hot summer days. It has been fitted with unique lighting using the distilling troughs carved into the ground. Three large barn-style doors lead from the cobbled courtyard into the various living areas. The traditional kitchen (stove, coffee maker, electric barbecue) leads into a beautifully lit dining room with seating for six. The comfortable lounge opens into an extravagant bathroom with a built-in Jacuzzi (with handheld showerhead), a seating area, and large mirror.
