Ηistory of Zouridi Villa – Park

In 1900,our Grandfather laid the first foundations of the mansion and had to travel twice to America to work in the mines to be able to complete it 15 years later. The building housed his family, his animals and his crops, which were protected in the 20 large earthenware pots that still decorate the hotel today.

The current owners, Giannis and Despina have transformed it into an opulent hotel, taking care to maintain and take advantage of its captivating beauty and bracing magnetism, which draws from its foundations of charming traditional Cretan stone, while fully respecting the nature and history of the surrounding area.

The restoration of the building was made with natural stone created entirely in the limestone area. This is used on all surfaces in the hotel, both visible and concealed, even in the coping around the swimming pool.

Volcanic earth from the island of Santorini was used back then, as it is today, for grouting and coatings replacing cement to create an ecological dwelling: warm in winter and cool in summer!
