The original family home was built in and has stayed in the Vasileiou family ever since. In 2015 Manos and Maria decided to rebuild the original home, which was in a state of ruin, to its present state. With Maria΄s keen eye for decoration, it is a piece of paradise. Manos takes great pride in his wine-making which he makes at the house every year at the end of summer.
