This is a beautiful house. Old, gracious, full of history, with astonishing mosaic-pebble floors, and painted in the most gorgeous blues. It is 600 years old (the 1881 date on the floor is just the date when the pebbling was redone) and apart from one or two splendid local cafes, I don’t know how else you could peek into one of these grand houses. Uncommercialised, it still preserves the original format of the historic home, including the family’s beautiful embroideries and decorative plates on the wall. The house isn’t swanky but it’s a real privilege to wake up here, amongst the airy Aegean blues. We loved it!
