We are an Italo-Greek family (with a little Irish and French as well) who spent many years living in London. Originally from Athens, every Summer we would visit a new Greek island until in 1985 we came to Halki for the first time. There was something unique about Halki that set it apart from the many other islands we had visited – and that has kept us coming back ever since.  

 

In 1988 my mum – Aphrodite, after whom we have named our villas – bought Villa Melograno. A few years later we were able to buy Studio Rosa, and in 2015 we finally bought Villa Bougainvillea. All of the houses when we bought them had fallen into varying levels of disrepair having been unlived in for years (as was the case with a majority of the houses in Halki when we first started to visit). We have lovingly restored them over many Summers since to look as they do now. 

 

Each house has been thought of as our holiday homes first and foremost. As my mum is a renowned architect and interior designer each house has been rebuilt and decorated to a very high standard and always in such a way that we, and hopefully our guests as well, can continue to enjoy them for many years to come.
