Inside its boundary, Varvara’s provides remarkable privacy in both of its quarters, making it ideal for holidays of two adult couples; the swimming pool is also a little removed from the house creating a third independent zone, with covered sitting area. The house is part of a larger complex, and guests are welcome to rent one or more accommodations according to their needs. They are welcome to entertain at any time; should they like to ask friends for lunch or dinner, the per-person fee is discussed with the cook according to the convened menu.
In the higher garden, there is a small Hermit dedicated to Saint Varvara, where every December 4th we assemble for a small celebration.
