The 800 year old house is located in the main village of the island “Chora “ and it is part of the Venetian Castle – called the Castro, located right on the edge of a high cliff, offering a breath-taking view of the Aegean from it’s two magic sea view verandas. An ideal place to stay as it is the heart of the Village – centrally located – and simultaneously a quite place to stay – as no cars can enter the Castro Area. The space Spread over 2 floors, this diminutive 12th-century townhouse has been carefully renovated, keeping the original character using natural materials with some individual decorative touches. The outer walls of this house are stone build and more than one meter thick. The roof was restored like in the old times using ecological materials ( Ceramic layers, Stone and wood ) keeping the climate inside of the house comfortable even during summer. No air condition is therefore needed. In the first-floor you find a small living room with a small seating area, from where you can reach the roof top veranda with a breath-taking view of the Aegean Sea and the islands monastery.

Please be aware that this house is 800 years old and that the available space for WC and shower as well as the ancient stairway connecting the ground floor with the first floor are of massive stone, reflecting the architecture of that period, which make the difference to a new built house.
