About this apartment rental

IN THE BEAUTIFUL CENTRAL POINT OF THE ISLAND, ON THE SEA-SIDE ESPLANADE HEADING TO THE OLD PORT, AT A SMALL DISTANCE FROM DAPIA, AT THE CENTRE OF THE ISLAND, BEAUTIFUL OLD TRADITIONAL MANSION, WITH BIG VERANDA WITH VIEW TO THE SEA AND ALL THE ISLAND AND THE OPPOSITE COASTS OF PELOPONESE..

The space

This particular old mansion, approximately 200 years old, belonged initially to the historical naval family LEONIDA, who had actively contributed to the national liberation struggle of 1821, to which he had been granted by the newly established Greek state as a reward for the services he had offered to revolutionary release from the othomans. From the Leonida family, this mansion was purchased by the grandmother of the current co-owners, around 1897, to become a permanent residence of the family - Greek Egyptians - who in 1897 decided to return for relocation to Greece, choosing the beautiful island of Spetses.
Over the years, this mansion has been rented by the family of owners for at least the last 80-90 years. In this specific old mansion, from time to time they have been inhabited - making their summer holidays - famous personalities such as Nobel Prize winner ODYSSEAS ELYTIS, the famous unique Greek actress MELINA MERKOURI, as well as political and former prime minister of Greece GEORGIOS RALLIS.

Beautiful, typically Greek mansion house with fabulous view.
Beautiful, typically Greek mansion house with fabulous view.
If you love old Greece, you'll love this! A wonderful spacious apartment on the top floor overlooking the sea. Go down the steps, across the road, and you are on the beach. Some rooms with TV and air conditioning. A bathroom/toilet with shower over bath and another with toilet and washbasin. The kitchen is quite well equipped. Very clean and tidy. Big balcony across the whole front of the building with shades. This is not modern luxury but a wonderful, traditional place to stay, with a very warm welcome.
