Our history

Mansion of Kerkini was built back in 1918 from the family of Kyriakos Doudos, when they came as refuges from the village Kosti in Eastern Romylia, close to the Black Sea. At that time, the whole square of Kerkini was a reproduction of their hometown's square. Their children and grandchildren grew up in this house until 1975, when it was abandoned.

In 2004 I and Anna decided to buy the Mansion and renovate it into a hospitable guesthouse and transform the building to one of the best hotels in Kerkini.

Although the Mansion was abandoned for almost 30 years, it was still a landmark for our village, reminding its glory and rareness with its architectural characteristics.

Our decision to keep the architectural characteristics of the building untouched brought back to life the unique magnificence of the Mansion. Now the Mansion is a gorgeous hotel in Kerkini, an elegant building that reminds the glorious days of the past.
