With 45 rooms and an irrigated garden, the palace was constructed with the extensive fortune of the shipping empire of the Kaligoúlas. The building was designed to be unassuming on the outside but adorned with luxury on the inside. In similar style to some ducal seats, the palace relies on long lasting and durable materials such as wood and stone. Carvings etched into the walls and ceiling along with significant amounts of artwork make the palace appealing and warm. Since the rise of House Kaligoúlas to the throne, the grounds were secured better with a stone wall. Modern security systems and other functionality to protect the residents were added in 2010. Sebatas is a favorite of [[Sergios Kaligoúlas], who stays there for most of the year.
