The property was originally built and used for winemaking. All the original features, hand made winemaking equipment and antique wine storage clay pots “Pitharka” are very much evident to see and admire. One “Pithari” dated 1861, is particularly historically notable.
There are also many other historic antique features and items within and on the outside of the property.
The property is approached via a stone paved path, 50 -60 m walk from the very quaint village square, where parking is available.
