What makes this property unique
The House of Prince” was firstly built in the final decade of the 19th century and served as the family home of my great-grandfather, Dimitris Batsolas, whose nickname was “The Prince”.
His family eventually relocated to the Euboean coastal town of Nea Styra around the late 1960s, whereby the House was left abandoned. As time went by, the House gradually decayed to its ruins, seeing its roof, walls and floors collapsing and disintegrating over the last 50 years.
My first treasured contact with the House was in 1996, I had joined my uncle Vangelis Batsolas (Trikoupis) on a quick stop-by around the House to water its harbouring trees, which -as in the old times- even to date provide our family with fresh lemons, oranges and pomegranates. I will never forget the lingering, prevalent vibe emanating from the old crumbling House gazing over the valley of the area.
In 2012, my family and I embarked on a project to bring the House back to its original glory, preserving the history of what could be salvaged and be protected within its remaining walls through the guidance of S.K. Aegis, a preeminent advisory firm.
The renovations lasted for more than two years. Local craftsmen paid extreme attention to all the details and realized tailored made pieces, leveraging their experience and creativity, using local materials from the surroundings in order to preserve the historical local architecture of the property.
The suites have been decorated by my wife, Thalina, with authentic, elegant period furniture, eminent objects of virtue, chandelliers and precious antiques from her family. The original stone oven, which cooked the food for over a century, has been completely preserved in the yard in front of the former stall and was again re-used in 2014. Water can be drawn from the House’s original fountain well, which gave its water to the houses across the neighbourhood in the early 1900s.
This is only the beginning of a story – there is much more that we invite you to discover.
