Belvedere Mykonos - Our History

Belvedere Mykonos – Our History

Originally built as a 19th century mansion, our property has been meticulously restored to preserve its historic charm, while integrating modern amenities and design.

A high society mansion from the early 20s 

The historic Mansion Stoupa, a renowned holiday destination, had traditionally welcomed French politicians and European artists since the early 1920s. However, the arrival of Piero Aversa in the 1960s, an Italian American artist and socialite, marked a significant shift. Making Mansion Stupa his home away from home, he started hosting opulent dionysian dinners, where fine wines flowed freely and sumptuous dishes abounded.
