Feodosia has always attracted representatives of high society. The beautiful nature, along with the healing air, made this place a popular residence for nobles, businessmen, intellectuals, and artists.
From the end of the 19th - the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of old mansions and summer cottages have been preserved here. One of such objects of that period is the Milos dacha. The building, stunning in its luxury, is made in the neoclassical style, with the addition of elements of antique architecture.
Dacha Milos was built in 1911 by the architect Piskunov. Its first owners were the family of Ibrahim Crimea, a successful merchant from the Karaite dynasty. The graceful building has white and yellow facades, lavishly decorated with Greek sculptures and stucco moldings. The layout includes complex elements, but is carefully considered and harmonious. The highlight of the architectural appearance are the columns-caryatids, made in the style of Greek architecture.
The courtyards are decorated with flower beds and marble fountains. At the corner of the building you can see a rotunda, where a copy of the sculpture of Venus de Milo is placed, after which the dacha was named. It is noteworthy that the first statue was lost during the October Revolution. The sculpture was restored only in 1970.
Nowadays, one of the buildings of the sanatorium is located in the building. People come here to treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system. There are also cafes and bars within the walls of the building.
Another summer cottage, built at the beginning of the last century in Feodosia, is called Stamboli
It belonged to the family of the manufacturer Joseph Stamboli in 1914, but was sold on the eve of the Revolution. With the advent of Soviet power, a sanatorium was located here. In wartime, the institution was converted into a hospital. By the way, during the retreat of the German invaders, the building was almost blown up by a shell, but miraculously survived.
The building is designed in an eclectic style, including elements of neo-Moorish architecture and Art Nouveau. The center of the composition is a high minaret. Flower beds and fountains are laid out around the building, and the facades of the dacha are painted with exquisite ornaments. The territory of the complex is surrounded by a stone fence with carved decorations.
Today, there is a hotel inside the dacha, so anyone can enjoy the splendor and luxury of an ancient architectural monument.
