Owned by an aristocratic family since the 17th century, this historic estate, on the island of Cephalonia (Greece) offers an elegant manor house for holiday lettings to discerning travelers. The estate blends the ongoing agricultural activity with regional tradition and culture, while it combines the authenticity of the past with the art of good living.
