Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
Poet's House is now in the loving care of Kiki, a 4th generation descendant who, in order to preserve the inheritance for the local community, decided to renovate the house. This quaint stone house has 80 cm thick walls, high ceilings with thick wooden beams ensuring conservation of energy and thus is ecologically friendly.
