Casa dei Mezzo
Makriyialos, Crete
Press Reviews
The Sunday Mirror, April 2011
"ARCHITECT-designed, this villa near the coastal village of
Makriyialos is best suited to a group of friends rather than
families as the pool isn't fenced off. Sleeping up to eight,
there's a grand piano and an olive grove."
The Guardian, August 2009
"There are monasteries and boat trips; and the annual Casa dei
Mezzo music festival, where musicians from all over the world come
to a Norwegian businessman's villa in the hills to play, this year,
Gershwin and Gounod and Rachmaninov; Schubert, Pärt and
Mendelsohn. That explained the ghostly Brahms. There was also Greek
poetry and some specially commissioned music. Gunnar
Strømsholm established the festival because "the 'culture'
that some visitors bring with them does not always impress the
locals."
