According to the wall inscription, the Mansion was created during three periods: 1633, 1864 and 1865. In the first building (a hut of 1633) there was added the remainder department of the main mansion in 1864. In the outside space there were also added the auxiliary spaces cooker, the firewood shed, and the stable of goats.
Today, the main building is shaped in 7 rooms To become more specific there are 4 three-persons rooms and 3 two-persons rooms. In addition to this, there are the breakfast room and the preparation room. The second building is shaped in one two-room suite and another room. The murals that existed in its interior - made by popular Chioniadites painters - have been maintained by experts and now are placed in the communal spaces.
The basic rooms of the Zagori home are firstly the "Mantzato" (no 4 & 5) with fireplace and oven. Moreover in the first floor (no11) and sometimes in the ground floor, there are the "krevata" and the "ontades" (no 7 & 8) (bedrooms) all with fireplaces and wide beds (which are called "bastia") The characteristic room in the ground floor is often the store of foods (which is named "katogi" and it is the breakfast room). "Katogi" is a semi-underground room without windows in order to achieve in the maintenance of low temperature even at the hot summer months. Furthermore, the "sala" downstairs has remained as the room for reception. Nearby there was the "ontas" (no 6), which is the room for visitors' reception with fireplace. Above, you could find the wintry rooms (no 7 & 8) where the family used to spend the winter nights. These rooms had many fresco-paintings that were made by the famous painters, "Chioniadites". In the ground floor there were the granaries where the cereals, the legumes and the dry fruits were maintained. Also, there were the cellars for food and wine as well as the "kadi", which had capacity of 2 tons.
