Dandy Villas are pleased to present their new acquisition: the towering Zoakon, in Nomia, in the rugged Mani of the Peloponnese. The house is a living memory of all the experiences of the owner family and their descendants. {Booking now here}
Continuing the description, we will try to convey the climate of the time, the particularities of the house, the hidden spots, those that, in our opinion, deserve to be illuminated. {Booking now here}
Entering the house, you will meet the fireplace, the so-called photo corner, where the family used to cook the daily simple and unnecessary food. The low openings of the corridors and even the towers had one purpose: to make it difficult for the unexpected visitor to enter easily, to be forced to stoop and thus become a burden in the hands of the hosts. If the hosts wanted to welcome him it was good, otherwise, every unexpected guest was kicked out badly.
After the photo corner, i.e. the fireplace, through a low – be careful here – archway you find the kitchen, the main toilet, bathroom and the first bedroom that leads to the stone-built courtyard with the pond – jacuzzi so you can cool off and enjoy a modern comfort in such an old building, tying – as we believe – harmoniously the past with the present. {Booking now here}
The floors are connected as in the old days, through wooden stairs, the “waterfalls”, so called because they are steep enough to gain space for the main house, the rooms. Going up to the first floor you will find the living room with two armchairs that can be turned into a bed and a small toilet.
From the living room you can go out to the large balcony with the dining room for morning coffee, lunch or dinner. Further up on the second floor you will find the second bedroom with its own toilet. {Booking now here}
The front doors of the houses remain inside the courtyard, guarded. It was forbidden to be accessible from the street or from an alley. A necessary condition on the one hand, for the “enemy” not to be easily accessible and on the other hand, so that the strong wind does not enter the house.
We welcome you to the wild, unique place of Mani that gladly welcomes strong and adventurous travelers. You, be ready for powerful experiences, unforgettable memories, going back in time and space. Welcome to a place with a strong history, emotions and experiences! {Booking now here}
