0 Fundana Villas Mansion

We have restored our 17th century Venetian mansion into a Tradition Hotel, with respect to the traditional corfiot architecture.

On a hill, with panoramic view of Corfu’s unspoiled landscape, in an oasis of peace and harmony, away from the noise of traffic and discos, surrounded by gardens of bougainvillea, hibiscus, plumbago, almond and olive-groves, looks like a small corfiot village.

The traditional Olive press of Fundana

Fundana Olive Press

This is the story and the way in which the traditional, family olive press of Fundana functioned.

In about 1780, the central building of Fundana was built, which consisted of the Olive press (one of the 1420 olive presses the island posessed), the warehouses where the olive oil was kept in huge cans and the mansion where the family was staying in order to supervise all agricultural works of the farm, which at this time numbered 2000 olive trees.

In November,with the first “rambia”(strong wind) ,the first olives started falling. So, very early in the morning, much before sunrise, still dark, under all weather conditions,10-20 women from the nearby villages were starting coming on foot to our farm in order to collect the olives, because this kind of work was exclusively a womens work, as it demanded skilful and quick hands.

They gathered the olives from the ground with their hands,one by one, through the wet grass, between thorns, all kinds of wild plants, with patience, singing and threw them in their little reed baskets, which they emptied in big bags. By the humidity and frost, their fingers were frozen…. Then,the bags, full of olives, were transported on their back or on the back of the donkey to the olive press.

The work in the olive press was very hard and was performed by men. They emptied the bags in the grinding mill with the 3 round millstones. Meanwhile another man prepared the horse or the mule, binding his eyes with blinkers and joking it. A man lighted the oil lamp,which always hung in front of the icon, made the sign of the cross and only then the process began.Who knows how much olive oil will be produced today?

The horse began to turn moving all around the 3 heavy millstones for nearly 2,5 hours, thus squeezing the olives and transforming them to a pulp. If the family didn’t own a horse or a mule or a donkey, then, in extreme cases, 2 men turned the mill stones….The purpose of the stony ground floor around the grinding mill was so that the animal could walk more stable. So was performed the first process and the first olive oil, which was floating up on the surface as it was more light, was gathered with big spoons made of dried pumpkin.This first olive oil had a unique taste and aroma! This taste of the fresh warm bread ,which was baked in the oven of the olive press dipped in the fresh olive oil, the nostalgic “boukouvala” ,remains unforgettable in the memory of those who had the luck to experience it.

After this first process was over they filled about 12 round, straw bags with the remaining pulp and piled them one upon another in the press. In the 17^th century they used a wooden screw for the press.This technology was introduced to Corfu from Italy, by the Venetians. This type of iron screw of our olive press belongs to the beginning of the 19 century and enabled greater pressure and in consequence more oil. Two men were occupied in turning all around the wooden worker, a piston with a thick rope which pressed the screw, which in its turn, pressed the bags with the pulp for about 2 hours. At the same time, a man was pouring continually boiling water on the bags (which was boiled in the kitchen of the olive press) ,so that the oil, burning water and lees, mixed dropped inside a wooden barrel which stood open in an underground square hole under the press. The pure oil after sometime came up on the surface, as it was more light and the black-red lees by a tube fell in the fields. With a dried squash plant spoon,they gathered the pure oil and with ionian weights were counting the quantity and the profit. The remaining pulp inside the bags, leaves, dirt, kernel was mixed with wheat and used as animal food for pigs, hens etc., as well as for fuel for stoves or for the production of the green soap in local soap factories (Patounis a.o), which is very healthy, until our days. So, everything was used and nothing was lost.

The annual production was sufficient for the needs of the family, the rest was sold to the Corfiot olive-oil merchants,which had their warehouses close to Saroko square. So, the expenses of the production were payed and in seasons of good production a small profit remained.

Our olive press was used for the last time in 1964. Twenty years later it was cleaned and maintained so as to become a part of our small agrarian museum,witness of the agrarian economy of our island and part of an important period of our historical heritage.Old agricultural tools and instruments, products and spices, which are used for traditional corfiot specialties, are also exhibited. You can find here our reception, a small bar and a library too.

A’ Mythical Past

Corfu is identified by most archaeologists with the mythical island of Phaeacians. It was here, according to those that accept the identification of Scheria with Corfu, that Homer placed the penult station where a necked castaway the ingenious Odysseus arrived after days of straggle with the sea-waves.

Πίνακας

The arrival of Odysseus at the Courtyard of King Alcinous (Watercolour of the Scene of San Giacomo Theatre)

The ancient Corfiots were proud that they were the descendants of the mythical Phaeacians, Nausikaa and King Alcinous, and they named their military harbour, “Alcinous Harbour”. Until today, despite the efforts of famous archaeologists like Drpfeld and Bulle, the palace of King Alcinous and the Mycenean Scheria has not yet been found, though Mycenean potsherds were found in the western part of the island.

Apollonius of Rhodes is referred to Phaeacians in the ‘Argonautica, where Jason and the Argonauts, having stolen the Golden Fleece and pursued by the inhabitants of Colchis, found refuge in the palace of King Alcinous and Arete. There, in the cave Makris, the marriage of Jason and Medea took place.

Mythology delivered the current emblem of city to the present-day Corfiots. The “Apidalos Naus” (Unhelmed Ship) remains the symbol of the naval virtuosity of Phaeacians.

Apidalos Naus

In literature, apart from the Homeric name Scheria, we meet various other names for the island, like Drepane or Arpi, Makris, Cassopaea, Argos, Keravnia,Phaeacia, Corkyra or Kerkyra (in Doric), Gorgo or Gorgyra and much later the medieval names Corypho or Corfoi, because of the twocharacteristic rock-peaks of the Old Fortress of Corfu.

Cerfied by Francesca Babini

This hotel is very cosy and I can suggest it personally.

Up on the HILL OF THE TRUTH there is an enchanting place that belongs traditionally to the Biasca-Caroni Family, hoteliers since 3 generations…

The tranquil location on the legendary Monte Verità and the view of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains makes this a priviledged place to be. The fashionable meeting place the Piazza on the lake is comfortably within walking distance.
