Built in 1878, this graceful traditional two storey Santorini Mansion is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Megalochori. At the turn of the century the first floor would have been occupied by the family with the ground floor serving as the winery and cellar. The original structure has been sensitively restored to its original splendour, retaining the original layout and traditional features. Mansion 1878 consists of two spacious self-contained living areas with a private pool and is tastefully decorated with fine antique pieces of furniture.

Carved into the rock face every aspect of this Mansion is unique with heaps of character. The cylindrical troughs sunk into the ground, once used for distilling the visanto, provides unusual lighting features to the interior.
