Built by the British in the early 19th century, it was used as the residence of the Governor. In front, there is a small garden into which one enters from the coastal road through a gated entrance standing on two stone pillars. The garden is surrounded by a railed wall.
Two staircases with elegant iron railings lead to the first of the three floors. On the facade, there are five windows, while on the middle window of the third floor, there is an iron balcony. It has tall gables on both sides with one window each, connected by a wall with three brick arches. On the sides, there is a fourth floor created by the gables. Towards the back, there is a narrow road paved with stones, and through a bridge, we pass into the small walled garden.
and then it was sold to Georgios Th. Lychnos, to whose heirs it belongs to this day. In the meantime, it operated as a hotel with a magnificent view of the islet of Saint Nicholas, known both domestically and abroad. The decor and cleanliness were reminiscent of Europe - equipped with 30 beds, carpets, and new furniture. On the first floor, there was a reading room and a small bar, an exhibition of various works and folk art crafts from Paxos (carpets, bags, laces, embroideries, textiles) for sale. For a brief period, it also hosted the Port Authority.
The pebbled alleys around the Venetian Governor's residence are also considered historically preserved monuments because they are unique examples of the morphology of the alleys (narrow streets) from the early 19th century.
