Historic Elements \>Muazzo Historic Residence had the honour to welcome some of the most important figures of modern Greek history. The Residence now belongs to the Moatsou (Moazzo or Muazzo) family, which has its roots in Venice, however it became known in the 20th century as “Villa Askoutsi”. Nikolaos Askoutsis (1892 – 1955) who was brother of Maria Moatsou, comrade of governor Eleftherios Venizelos (1864 – 1936), lawyer, politician, and first Secretary of Transport of post-war Greece, spent a big part of his life here. Friends and colleagues would visit him in the Residence; among them the prime minister Eleftherios Venizelos with his son, eventually also prime minister, Sofoklis Venizelos (1894 – 1964). \>The year-long renovation of the historic building has resurfaced hidden secrets of the political activities of Nikolaos Askoutsis. These are now in display alongside other family relics and documents in dedicated and prominent spots for the benefit of the guests. \>The renovation of the Residence involved all necessary bioclimatic architectural interventions as well as installation of high-end technological features. At the same time, we have taken care to highlight all the traditional architectural elements of the building that reminisce its long history.
