The
peaceful village of Megalochori makes a much sought after
and appreciated alternative to the bustling and jostling of
the busy city of Fira. Mansion Sophia, a rare find, is a
just short stroll from the central village square with its
pretty churches and picturesque Venetian bell towers. The
village, with its winding cobbled pathways, is free of
traffic. The imposing large wooden entrance gates of Mansion
Sophia conceal a secluded and pretty private courtyard,
complete with the recent addition of a swimming pool. Double
doors lead directly from the courtyard into a spacious
lounge and dining area with its superb high vaulted ceilings
and original polished wooden floors, adding warmth and
character to the room. The two double bedrooms, one master
and one smaller second bedroom, lead off from either side of
the central living room. The master bedroom has a majestic
four-poster double bed. One bathroom, with modern
amenities, services both bedrooms. The well equipped kitchen
has an original stone arch which now serves as a washing up
and preparation area. The coup-de-grace is the lovely
kitchen garden, perfect for enjoying alfresco meals under
blue skies whilst absorbing the village atmosphere.
Mansion Sophia was
built around the mid 19th century and inhabited by one of the
feudal landlords of the island at that time. These merchants and land
barons became wealthy exporting the unique Vinsanto wine the island
still produces. Trade brought wealth and wealth brought the Mansion
Houses. Megalochori had a
particularly
strong link with the town of Odessa in Russia. Many of the church bells
which still toll in the village today are from Russia and have a very
distinct clarity.
This Mansion is
perfect for those ready to switch of their mobiles, put their feet up,
sit back and enjoy Santorini from a different perspective. The tourist
attractions, including Fira and Oia, are only a short drive away.
