A jewel in the ancient Castro: a 14th-century home with sunset Portara view | House in Naxos
2 Bedroom House in Old Town Naxos, Naxos
A rare chance to stay in a charming fourteenth-century home, in the heart of the historic castle area of Naxos. Come and be bewitched by the special magic of the Castro and this wonderful island.
Sitting above the lively port, the house is a haven of light and sea breezes looking out over the sea, the mountains and our charming sun-trap terrace. Filled with antiques, books, paintings and sculptures, it is a wonderfully welcoming space.
A short walk uphill from the waterfront brings you into the ancient citadel built by Venetian conquerors in the 13th century, surrounded by the stone battlements of the Ducal palace.
The house lies within the Castro walls, a perfect retreat from the buzzy port town. There are two spacious airy, reception rooms, a cool day room, a large kitchen and two comfortable bedrooms (a double and a twin/double). In addition, a lovely whitewashed terrace overflowing with geraniums and bougainvillea provides a wonderful place to sit for breakfast, read a novel or sunbathe.
We have lovingly maintained this historic property since our family bought it in 1963 from descendants of one of the original Venetian families.
It has long been a refuge and inspiration for writers, artists, musicians, archaeologists, and geologists who have fallen in love with the peace of the house and beauty of the island.
All profits are returned to the upkeep of this special place, maintaining traditional workmanship and methods.
As with the whole of the Castro, the house has walking access only, up stepped alleyways. You can park within 5 mins walk of the house, at the foot of the hill.
We think you will fall under the spell of Naxos, as all visitors do.
PLEASE NOTE: we usually book by the week, with changeover on Saturdays, except by special arrangement. Please contact us for dates outside this and we may be able to accomodate you.
