The first step

A place to call home

On a barren island, a rare fertile estate thrived on the outskirts of Chora, a magical place where every plant flourished. Its elevated location offered majestic views of the deep blue sea, stirring envy among passersby. In the 1850s, the owners built Mansion Stoupa, a stately villa adorned with pilasters and decorative details that stood out against the Cycladic architecture, creating a sensation. Passed down through generations, the mansion eventually came into the hands of Sofia Ioannidou-Campanis. Her family cherished it as a holiday retreat, relocating from their main residence in Mikri Venetia (Little Venice) during the summers, to enjoy the serene surroundings and unique beauty.
