VILLA MOURIA - c.16th century TRADITIONAL AEGEAN HOUSE in Koskinou / Rhodes

- Villa Mouria is situated in a quiet neighborhood, at the northern side of the traditional section of the village. It is located close to a mulberry tree . In Greek “Mouria” means “Mulberry”, hence the name of the villa.

Immediate surroundings
– Along the narrow alleys of the villa's neighborhood are colorful houses featuring traditional facets which are very popular subjects of photography. Without doubt though, the most rewarding experience while walking around Koskinou village is meeting the villagers themselves who always seem to have the time to welcome visitors for a chat or for a cup of greek coffee, while they are eager to answer questions about anything. These are people that do not occupy themselves with new technologies and social media and are not interested in how branded one looks or how much one's car at home might be worth. These are people that live to live and are proud to share their philosophy with the visitors.

Amenities
Within 2-3 minutes walking distance from the villa you can find:
6 local eating places (Yannis Taverna, Tasos Taverna, Mandala, Karavelladika, Afthendikon souvlaki, Kotsakis souvlaki - all favorites in their own right), 1 coffee/pastry and take away home-cooked food place located in the main square of the village (Gefsi kai Paradosi) of Koskinou), 2 mini markets (with daily fresh vegetable/fruits and baked bread), a butcher (offering an excellent quality of local produce), and a traditional tailor.

Several big supermarkets are located within 5-10 minutes drive from Koskinou village.


Description of Villa Mouria (sleeps 6 + 2 persons)

The floor of the main sala (living room) and of the court yard of the villa is decorated with black and white pebbles that were gathered in the beaches of Rhodes. Those mosaic floors together with the stone-built arch traversing the sala of the villa create a truly relaxing atmosphere. The villa's courtyard is favored by many guests for unwinding while getting engaged in either private or communal activities.

The villa features antique furniture and handcrafted wooden structures.

Main sala: Spacious 45m² / 484ft² living room, supported by a stone arch 5 meter (16.5 ft.) high. It features a sitting area (which includes a 220cm (87 inch) long wooden handcrafted couch which can accommodate one sleeper), a dining area, while its exceptionally high ceiling gives room for two traditional wooden carved "pataros" (high level handcrafted sleeping places) each one of which accommodates two sleepers and is separated with the rest of the sala by curtains for privacy.

Courtyard: (about 9m² / 97ft²) Cozy and private open space for relaxing or dining, roofed by a grapevine, a lemon tree and a jasmine tree.

Bedroom 1&2: Two traditional wooden carved "pataros" (handcrafted sleeping platforms) accessed by purpose-built wooden staircases are located at either side of the stone-built arch of the main sala. Each one of the pataros accommodates two sleepers and is separated with the rest of the sala by curtains for privacy.
EACH ONE OF BEDROOMS 1&2 CONSISTS OF ONE "PATAROS" (SPEEPING PLATFORM) AND IS NOT A SEPARATE ROOM. THOSE TWO SLEEPING PLATFORMS ARE LOCATED IN THE SALA OF THE VILLA, the room where traditionally the sleeping places were constructed.
