It was in 2001, after a complete renovation – always with great respect to the natural beauties and attractions of Roussospiti village, that the villa was first used to lodge visitors and tourists. It was the caring and hospitable father of the family, Yannis, who had it going for a two-year period under the name “Villa Dina-Irini”. Due to personal reasons and despite the its overall successful course, the operation was for some time closed. It is the family of Eirini who decided to renovate once again and re-open the premises.
