This nature house is located in the village of Ano, (upper)-Tombra, the middle finger of the southern Peloponnese at about 475 meters above sea level, 13 kilometers from the sea. From the nature house you have a fantastic view of the mountains and the sea. In clear weather the island of Kythera can be seen! The house is built in the Mani style with stacked natural stones. It probably dates from the late 19th century, the foundation with the camara, καμαρα, and the apothiki, αποθηκη, is even older. The walls are 80 centimeters thick and finished inside with clay and lime. In 2015, the house was completely grouted and the total roof was replaced and insulated. Because the house is built against the mountain, there are entrance doors on two levels. On the mountain side is the front door that gives access to the upper level. Downstairs on the front side are the two doors of the apothiki (workshop) and the camara. Inside, the two floors are connected by a stone staircase. Below the camara is a cisterna, a private water reservoir with 17000 liters of water. In extreme drought, the municipal water sometimes drops out and you can fall back on water from the sterna.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is on the outskirts of an almost deserted village. Only a few weeks in summer and during the olive harvest in winter there are a few residents in the village. It is the only house that is regularly inhabited. Because of this, animals have free rein. All kinds of animals that you do not normally encounter can be found here in their natural habitat. The hosts never cease to amaze and delight: foxes, badgers, pine marten, weasels, owls, jays, various birds of prey, butterflies of all colors, lizards, geckos, turtles, scorpions, large centipedes, and so on. Still, some caution is required and this rich animal life requires a bit more alertness than you may be used to at home. Outside, closed footwear is recommended and it makes sense not to leave food scraps around and in the house. At night, seven sleepers are often active; they are harmless and do not enter the house, but can sometimes make noise on the roof.
