San Stefano Estate: Venetian Manor in Benitses
The house of San Stefano was built on the hill just north of Benitses, in 1782, by a member of the great Venetian Giustiniani family, on the site of an older house destroyed by an earthquake- so the new one was built on a rock! The house was the center of a large estate and took its name from the private chapel of San Stefano, which is built on the same rock as the house.
