Walter the Italian owner:
“When I was young I had a dream: to leave Italy, the land of my birth, and go on adventure. In those days, business opportunities were numerous. It was possible to invest and create something in Greece – where you could also enjoy the excellent weather and beautiful scenery. I did a number of things in this country: I worked, I was productive, I invested, then I returned to Italy where I gained construction and real estate experience. When the crisis hit I sold my businesses and decided that it was time to realise my dream: to live on a Greek island and make the most of the long Summer sun. After a long search, I found my little corner of paradise: Fiscardo – with it’s Venetian-coloured houses, the deep green Cypress trees, and the translucent turquoise sea. However, fishing and pleasure-boating have their limits and it is impossible to live without creating, so I decided to build ‘Il Borgo’.
I poured myself into creating ‘Il Borgo’, and it reflects my personality as well as what I myself look for when choosing a place to stay. It is a place that is natural and serene, yet beautiful and sophisticated: it is the expression of true hospitality and easy living. Here at ‘Il Borgo’, each moment is to be savoured and remembered: the bright, luminescent dawns, a bathe in the sea, searching for starfish, a evening drink on the terrace watching the rocks on neighbouring Ithaka turn to fire as the sun sets, a dinner under the stars… The long, fleeting Summer days, the sun-bright mornings, the dream-like nights, evenings shared in friendship and laughter… Unforgettable moments! La Vita e Bella!”
