Santorini - MANSION 1878
MANSION 1878 SANTORINI
This is one of two Mansions in the portfolio that was once owned by one of the most powerful families on the island.
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 Vinsanto dessert wine produced was exported to Russia, where it was used by the Russian Orthodox Church for Holy Communion. Unfortunately, this all came to an end with the Russian Revolution which had a big impact
