built with stones c.1850, traditional house by the village castle
sleeps 4-5 persons
Brief description: Ka’stro(= castle) was built with stones circa 1850; it took its name from one of the walls of its main salla. That wall is actually part of the remains of the castle of Koskinou, dating back to the 15th century. Expanding into different levels, it has both a cosy court yard and a breezy terrace. Being practically tucked among three houses and a castle wall, it offers a very quiet and serene atmosphere. All the house’s internal structures are made of hand crafted wood. Wherever possible, traditional material and ways of building were used; an exception to that are its modern electric wiring, kitchen and bathroom water connections, and sewage.
Kitchen: Electric cooker, fridge, table. Has a high wooden beamed ceiling with a sky light window.
Bathroom: Basin, bathtub, WC.
Main salla: A prime example of fine traditional Koskinou architecture. Left intact, its one wall that was actually part of the 15th century village castle quietly imposes its rich history on the room. Its central arch is overlooked by a 5.50 meters (18 feet) high wooden beamed ceiling. Two sky light windows allow the natural daylight and a cooling breeze to pass through the room. Two wooden couches, coffee table, dining table and chairs, TV.
Pataro’s (= wooden traditional Koskinou platform bed): Two, sleeping two persons each. Located within the main salla.
Court Yard: Very quiet. Purpose-built bench and table, basin.
Terrace: Good for sunbathing and relaxation, it overlooks the court yard.
