If you like houses that "tell stories" you will not be disappointed. The space This house was built in the late 18th century as the country house of a noble corfiote family. It used to stand alone in the middle of the family's lands. This is why the house still has, on the front and on the rear, firing steps meaning openings on the walls where the guns were put in order to protect the house in case of attack. The ground floor was used to stock the land production such as olive oil, corn and wine. This food stock saved a lot of people from famine during the WWII. The Boua family is mentioned in the "Libro d'Oro" (the Golden Book) among the families having the right to pass from Liston. This is the arcade passage of the main corfu esplanade, where in the past only a few families were allowed to use. The family still had its own family crest (coat of arms), showing the importance of agriculture to the family. Other things to note Due to the Covid situation we have taken some extra security measures. The whole appartement will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before every new arrival. Disinfectant gel will always be available and key taking will be contactless. Please wear your mask anytime you need to come in contact with the house owners living on the ground floor of the house.
