This house has been in my family for a very long time. Here I spent my childhood, and adolescence, enjoying most of my time in the large garden, playing, dreaming and listening to the birds singing.<\/p>\n

The present garden has been designed _and is still looked after- by a skilled local flower specialist, who tried to reproduce the garden I used to know when I was a child. We collaborated to replant some species which used to grow in the past in order to bring back beautiful memories – such as the fragrance of jasmine<\/strong> and different types of roses<\/strong>, and as I love those natural fragrances, we put on purpose the famous roses from Bulgaria <\/strong>whose fragrance is well known. Considering the fact that this land is covered with olive trees<\/strong> which sometimes are hundreds of years old, I thought I had to plant some of these symbolic and beautiful trees also in my garden.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
