Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This nineteenth-century home was originally owned by an aristocratic family. And while it no longer serves a noble purpose, it still retains a wonderful sense of character. You’ll find the rooms are spread across two floors, providing plenty of space to stretch out and spend quality time together. Outside, there’s a private swimming pool and beautiful views across the Ropa Valley – which you can admire from the wisteria-covered terrace. For explorations further afield, it’s just a short walk to a local taverna and mini market, while the nearest beach is just 1.5 kilometres away.

Home truths

    While not all of the rooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there is also free private parking.

    For those with reduced mobility, there’s a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here.

    The traditional decor might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

    The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

    Toiletries aren't provided, so you'll need to bring your own.
