Villakalimeranet - 魅力的な伝統的な石造りの家 - 最大6人

I'm Gianpiero Donin, landscape architect.full professor of landscape architecture at the University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria.

I hang out the island of Kefalonia For many years , Fiskardo particularly. I arrived almost 35 years ago when the houses were still all white and free camping still permitted. Slowly I watched tourism and facilities to accommodate grow. There where many buldings partially destroyed in the past by an earthquake and one by one they has been renovated . So was Villakalimera that appeared to me immediately beautiful: surrounded by a forest of cypress and so close to the amazing beach of Foki. The house has been declared 'traditional home' by the greek government and therefore protected in its forms and details.

The finishing and details are left as much as possible related to its past: the ancient cistern, the entrance to the lane facing to the village track, the small blue windows. The interiors are simple and there are mixed objects collected by the owner over many trips in Africa. The renovation of the house, built in 2006, has endowed it with important works in order to make anti-seismic reinforcement structures. The respect of the traditional forms of rural house did not prevent, however, to provide it with every modern comfort.
