The Marcora Mansion has kept in the best way the cultural heritage of the area with respect to its history, carefully keeping in a special place the coat of arms, its seal, distinctions from kings, titles from the secretariat of the legions, manuscripts, personal belongings of the poet etc. The office of Gerasimos Markoras is located in the same place. Inside the poet's mansion, the frames and paintings depict not only the history of that time, but also the family tree of the family. The frame with the poet's brother, Spyros, who served as ambassador to Russia, is typical, while his letters to the tsarist government are among the most remarkable relics of the archive. For hundreds of years, the ground floor was the warehouse of wine, olive oil, potatoes and other agricultural products. It was the place for the production of grapes from the cultivation of vines that was located in the rest of the free part of the garden of approximately 2,360 sq.m. Also there was the olive press for the extraction of oils from the privately owned estates of Marcoras. The other ground floor apartment was the place of residence and feeding of the various workers that were necessary for the various works. We are the 4th generation descendant of Gerasimos Markoras and since Poet’s House is in our loving care, we decided to renovate the house in order to preserve the inheritance for the local community. We will be happy to welcome you in my 400 year old village mansion, where my forbear, the Corfiot poet Gerasimos Marcoras (1826-1911) lived and wrote most of his poems. The Marcora family (Italian Marcoran) is one of the oldest aristocratic families of Corfu, coming from Italy in the middle of the 15th century. The first Marcoras held the post of knight and family was written in the Libro d’Oro of Corfu, bearing the coat of arms and the title of Count. poet Gerasimos Marcoras was born In 1826 and he was a student of Dionysios Solomos and partner with Nikolaos Mantzaro. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa -

Het is een huis met karakter. Het is ruim en met goede voorzieningen, al zijn er wat zaken die enige aandacht behoeven. Ook zou het wel wat beter schoongemaakt kunnen worden, maar door het mooie weer hebben we vooral in de tuin en op het terras gezeten. En dat is een hele fijne plek. In de tuin staan veel fruitbomen en notenbomen waar we gewoon van mochten plukken. Takis en zijn vader zijn zeer zorgzame gastheren. ##### Anna d. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ---
