Andrea Migliaressis first arrived on the island from Italy in the 15th century. Over the generations, the Migliaressis family became one of Cephalonia’s influential families, with their name recorded in the Libro d’Oro.

​

The Estate has remained in the family ever since, surviving the German occupation during the Second World War, as well as the devastating earthquake of 1953.

​

In 1999, Lysander Migliaressis-Phocas and his wife, Lila, became the sole owners of the Estate. Since then, they have devoted much of their time to carefully restoring it and bringing it back to life as an idyllic holiday destination.
