Venetia Parisi, a Kefalonian through and through, and beautifully named after two famous European cities, Venice and Paris – the former, ruler of the Ionian islands for over 400 years, leaving a lasting legacy – welcomes you to her family home. This, her great-grandmother’s house, has been loving rebuilt by her father, Alexandros Parisis – a passionate Kefalonian – former Kefalonian Member of the Greek Parliament, the President of the Ionian Islands Municipalities Union, and Mayor of Kefalonia for the past 6 years.

Although brought up in Athens to where he and his family had migrated in the 1950’s and where he forged a successful business career, Mr Parisis’s heart had remained in Kefalonia where he can trace his roots back to the Venetian rule. In 1997 he made the decision to rebuild his grandmother’s house in which he was born and raised as a child, and one of the original 5 houses of the hamlet of Lavonikes set in 14 acres of land up on a hillside amongst stunning natural surroundings just 8km from beautiful, cosmopolitan Fiskardo.

Preserving what he could from the ruins, Mr Parisis has built a house that would make the most of it’slocation overlooking the sea. His eye for aesthetics has continued inside where he has decorated Casa Nobile with some exquisite antique furniture, and outside where over the years he has planted a lush garden with numerous plants, fruit trees and flowers.
