Description
Part of the estate of one of Corfu's best known families, this old olive press is just outside Corfu town and has a very slight glimpse of the sea from the back garden.
Still showing signs of its previous incarnation as a restaurant, and before that an olive press - Loutrouvio has enormous potential to be a wonderful home or another restaurant or similar commercial enterprise.
There is a small hallway, and the bathroom facilities that were built for restaurant use and a partly covered "loading bay" left over from the days when the property was an olive press and vans and carriages needed access for dropping off the olives and collecting the newly pressed oil.
The rest of the space is huge - with one change in level where the original olive pressing equipment is still in place as a feature.
There are two enormous fireplaces and a long, narrow commercial kitchen, plus a serving/bar area between the kitchen and the main room.
The ceilings are high and feature dark wood beams, and the walls are of exposed old bricks.
A large cellar, covering more than half of the building, completes the accommodation.
There are 200 m2 remaining of the building allowance for the property, therefore, extends its possibilities.
