Georgilas Cave House

About

“Georgilas Cave House” is a privately owned complex of 5 fully autonomous traditional residences of more than 120 years old, yet quite recently refurbished (just in 2013) with big love and respect to the unique Cycladic features of it. In 19th century “Georgilas” was a family cottage with its own large production in fruits, cereals, milk and cheese. Throughout centuries “Georgilas” has achieved to retain its authenticity, and today it offers to its guests a harmonious blend of unparalleled tranquility and down-home coziness. The construction of “Georgilas Cave House” was based on the dictates of climate, the particular housing requirements and the materials available to the local masons. Nestled at an elevated position “Georgilas” oversees the fertile Valley of Eggares. Notwithstanding, but for its earth-toned coloring, it is well secluded and not easily visible from afar. All residences are bright, airy and naturally ventilated via “murder holes”, which were the old way for air-conditioning! The decoration is mainly rustic and elegant with antiques and handmade furniture.
