The house history.
The house was built by Charalambos grandfather around 1890 and was later past to his son Vasilis Adamou who in 1965 has immigrated to the United States with all his family, except Charalambos, selling the house to his brother Pavlos who had previously immigrated to Australia with family. The house was since not inhabited.
The renovation lasted 2 years and the whole process was under the auspices of the Traditional housing authority and Cyprus tourism organization.
Charalambos son Andreas, a US/UK educated professional, decided 6 years ago to bring the old house back to life and bought it back from his Australian cousins.
Andreas vision is that his children, who love their grandparents village, to maintain their roots and the family traditions.
Charalambos has 20 years of experience in the hotel industry working as a receptionist at Roussos Beach Hotel in Limassol. Some may remember him by his nickname, “Bambos”.
