Lotza is a traditional two-roomed house set in the beautiful mountain village of Salakos, which has been restored with great love. Kristi's husband, George, inherited the house from his grandmother, and as Kristi's grandmother lived next door, both Kristi and George have happy childhood memories of visiting both houses, playing outside in the street with the other children of the neighbourhood while donkeys and goats roamed, and their Giagia's sat outside their houses sharing the village gossip. Today, Giagia's (Grandma's) little traditional home, Lotza, is lovingly restored & renovated retaining many original features such as the "musandra" or platform bed subtly revealing the ways of the past while offering the comforts of today. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining and seating area with a double bed on the "musandra" - the local name for the traditional raised platform bed space. A separate double bedroom with a stone bed frame and its own tea and coffee making facilities is separated from the main living area by the spacious bathroom which has a shower. The sofa can be used as a double sofa bed and there is a further sleeping space under the "musandra"
