The Gioia Traditional House welcomes you to its colorful courtyard, offering you its hospitality in Kiliomenos, one of the most picturesque mountain villages of Zakynthos. Unique for those looking for a peaceful natural environment and a sense of outdoor life, ideal for those who wish the comforts and the feeling of family atmosphere, the Gioia Traditional House, is built in 1817. The stone and the wood are perfectly combined with the stylish decoration of the interiors.

There are two large separate bedrooms, one with a double and a single bed, and the second one with a double bed. The rooms located on the top floor of the house offer through their windows panoramic views of the green landscape, spread around, filled with the natural coolness of the air that comes from the mountain pine trees.
The house has been built according to the traditional mountain architecture with thick walls, small internal stairs that lead from one space to the other and the wooden ceilings with the exposed beams. Particularly special are also the traditional wooden furniture and the stone constructions that complement the furnishings, such as the sofas and the fireplace, and the stylish decorative objects. Everything creates a sweet atmosphere that gives the sense of a warm and hospitable home.
