Perfect for a family on a Greek island getaway, this home has outdoor living at its core. Sun worshipers will adore the outdoor space, with terraces inviting you to kick back and relax. Fancy splashing about in the sea rather than the private pool? You’ll find Kontogialos, Glyfada, and Agios Gordios beaches nearby. And with tavernas lining the coast, you can take your pick of authentic Corfiot cuisine, too. Of course, a trip to the island isn’t complete without a visit to Corfu Town – from the villa, it’s a mere fifteen-minute drive away. 

Olio of Olives

Temperature Control

Making the most of the Mediterranean climate comes easily in this contemporary Corfu home. We love the outdoor space – lush gardens, sun-kissed terraces and a private pool – it’s sure to be a hit with all. Additionally, the lower ground floor of this home is completely private, boasting its own living area, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and terrace, making it an ideal choice for one couple wanting to holiday with loved ones but still enjoy some private time. Locally, pick from Kontogialos, Glyfada, and Agios Gordios beaches, or take a fifteen-minute drive to explore Corfu Town.

Pets

Whatever the occasion, this home is the perfect venue. Whether it's a family holiday, reunion, adventure with friends, or romantic wedding, this commanding palace holds all the cards for an idyllic break. 

The villa is set across three levels and possesses six dining areas, including a blissful outdoor space. You can enjoy your morning coffee on the sofa overlooking the sea, an afternoon cocktail in the pool and a bite of moussaka on the outdoor dining table. It can be a set menu across the entire house. 

After dinner, the intimate cinema provides a quiet sanctuary to wind down into the gentle hum of the evening. Whatever you have on your itinerary, the concierge service helps you settle into whatever vibe you want.

Away from the villa, you can sunbathe on your own private beach, kissed by the refreshing nature of the Aegean Sea. Or if you want a carefree Greek adventure, drive fifteen minutes to Corfu town for a wealth of bars and restaurants. It also offers night owls the chance to mingle with locals in nightclubs until the early hours of the morning.

Access to Beach

This luxury villa is nestled between the peaceful fishing villages of Perama and Benitses. It’s a tranquil base ideal for a relaxing break, but it’s also just a short drive from Corfu’s vibrant old town. It’s spread between three self-contained apartments, so you’ll be able to enjoy your privacy even when travelling as part of a large group. Outside, the sea-view infinity pool, gardens with century-old trees, and yoga and fitness area mean there’s something for everyone. We also love the terrace and balconies for alfresco dining with a view. 

Blissful Villa

DVD Player

Set on stunning grounds surrounded by picturesque natural beauty, this villa situates you between the traditional village of Gastouri and coastal Perama. Since its serene gardens and poolside setting captured our attention here first, we imagine it's where guests will spend most of their time here. Relaxing in the sunshine will become part of your daily ritual, from the barbecue and alfresco dining area to the patio lounge featuring a comfy sofa set-up. Since each of the bedrooms features air conditioning, getting a good night's sleep is made easier after fun-filled days exploring the locale - including the famous Achillion Palace, just 1.5 kilometres away. You'll also find Corfu Town, around a twenty-minute drive from here.

Desk / Workplace

Make yourself at home in this stunning clifftop villa overlooking Corfu's picturesque coastline, including Mouse Island (which, according to mythology, is Ulysses' ship that Poseidon stoned), Vlacherna Monastery and the glistening blue hues of the Ionian Sea.

Step inside this two-storey villa and discover a haven of relaxation decorated in soothing neutral tones. The ground floor is an open-plan space with a compact kitchen, six-seater dining table and a sumptuous corner sofa set around a rustic coffee table and adobe-style fireplace.

Two sets of sliding doors lead directly out to the poolside patio – an idyllic spot to while away sunny afternoons beneath cloudless Corfu skies. Head upstairs, and you'll find a couple of spacious en-suite bedrooms where you can lounge on the chaise-longue or enjoy a quiet moment out on the balcony.

If you're feeling active, there are plenty of in-resort facilities at your fingertips, including a couple of tennis courts, an indoor pool, a spa and even a private beach, accessed by a funicular.

Away from the resort, Corfu's Unesco-recognised old town is just 6km away. While away more time than you bargained for, wandering the backstreets and alleys, taking in beautiful Venetian architecture and the Old Fortress. Golfers can head 17km to Corfu Golf Club – designed by Donald Harradine in the late 70s – it's one of Europe's hidden gems.

Beach Essentials

This charming villa can be found in picturesque Sinaredes, a traditional village full of narrow streets, stone buildings, and ancient churches. Glyfada Beach is only ten minutes away by car, but you’ll feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle at this tranquil home. We love the stunning views, which can be admired both inside and out thanks to the glass frontage. The private pool sits amid lovely landscaped grounds with areas for alfresco dining, as well as plenty of room for lounging in the Cretan sunshine.

This spectacular villa is an ideal choice for large groups. Guests will be split across three buildings – the main house, a guest house, and a small apartment. There are over nine acres of private grounds to explore, including a scented pine forest that houses a small church built in the 1920s. There's also a gym, a well-equipped pool house, and an easy-to-access path from the estate to a pebble beach. The seawater swimming pool and well-tended gardens here even made an appearance in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. Corfu town is a short drive away, as is Corfu Golf Club if you fancy a round or two.

A Slice of Paradise

You might think that this Corfu estate looks fit for a film star, and you would be right. Back in 1981 it was featured in the Bond film For Your Eyes Only and, with its beautiful grounds and sea views, it certainly has plenty of star power. 

Large groups looking for luxury will be well catered for here – with a main house, guest house, and separate studio, everyone can find their own peace and quiet. Wake up and sip your morning coffee on the dock as you admire the stunning views across the Ionian Sea and Pontikonisi Island, before taking a stroll through the huge garden. If you need to cool off from the heat then take a dip in the swimming pool, and those who want a workout can head for the gym. Then, as twilight falls, you can mix martinis at the bar before serving up a lavish alfresco dinner that's fit for Bond himself. 

It would be easy to spend your whole trip relaxing in this heavenly estate, but if you want to explore then there's plenty to see and do nearby. There is direct access to the local beach, where you can paddle in the waves and soak up the sun. And Corfu Town, with its gorgeous Venetian architecture and rich history, is just five kilometers away, making it perfect for a day trip or evening out. 

Ice Cold Martini

You'll find this villa on a secluded hill, surrounded by forests and the sparkling Ionian Sea. Offering spectacular views of Corfu's natural beauty, believe us when we say that this home (quite literally) doesn't do things by half. Two private pools, two cinema rooms, two barbecue areas and multiple covered verandas make for plenty of space to stretch out, whether you're mingling with the group or looking to enjoy a little privacy to read a book and unwind.

Start the day with a refreshing swim followed by a leisurely breakfast beneath the pergola. If you feel like getting out to explore, soft white sand is only a few steps away thanks to private beach access. Spend a few hours in the Greek sun and catching some rays on the shores. When you get home, cook some authentic local dishes on the traditional woodstove, then open a bottle and wine and settle in for a family movie night.

Underfloor Heating

From its elevated position, this villa boasts marvellous views. It sits just outside the ancient village of Viros, 6 kilometres from Corfu Town. You’ll be within easy reach of beaches, and there’s a golf course 15 kilometres away. Of course, you may find that you don’t want to leave this striking home at all. The private pool sits amid ancient olive trees, a shaded alfresco lounge, and delightful grounds. Striking and cool, the villa has all the comforts you might need, including a games room, underfloor heating, and a gym. The cantilevered balcony and shallow rooftop pool are firm favourites, too. 

Citrus & Sea

Whether you're sunbathing on the wooden deck, lounging on the sofa or waking up in the morning, the beauty of the Ionian Sea is available from all angles. Having the blue expanse as your background feels like you're cruising across the sea, kissed by the gentle rays of the sun.

Have breakfast on the open-air table, enjoying each bite as the fresh sea breeze enhances the taste. Or laze on the sun loungers that surround the pool, breathing in the smooth scent of the sea. This villa provides a wonderful sensory experience at every moment.

If you just want to chill inside, the living room is comprised of deluxe sofas with incredible sea views. Curl up with a good book or sip your morning coffee as the sound of the waves provides a soothing soundtrack.

If you were to turn inland, you'll find an island that's just as mesmerising as the sea. Corfu Town is blessed with a historical significance, showcased by the rustic buildings and traditional architecture. Visit the charming tavernas for authentic Greek food, washed down with some crisp wine or beer.





Cruising Along The Sea

Rain Shower

Baby Bath

Throws

Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and citrus orchards, this modern villa is truly a place where lasting memories are made. Off in the distance, the mighty Gamelion mountain stands tall, providing the perfect backdrop for lounging in the sun. And, even better, you'll have access to the secluded Kanouli Beach at the foot of the cliff, so you can wake up and dip your toes in the sea in no time.

Absolutely everything you need for a relaxing holiday is taken care of – a welcome basket filled with traditional Corfiot goodies, rainfall showers in the sleek bathrooms, a gorgeous built-in barbecue for alfresco dining, even a playground for the kids and an outdoor gym for the fitness buffs. On the terrace, the sparkling heated pool takes centre stage – when you're not at the beach, chances are you'll be lounging poolside or floating in the crystal-clear water. Inside, the design is refined and contemporary – think wooden tones and stunning windows drenching each room with sunshine – while mod-cons like a PS4, fully-equipped kitchen, air conditioning and smart TVs ensure you'll be at your most relaxed.

When you can pull yourself away from this private slice of paradise, there are palaeolithic caves, a Byzantine fortress and pretty beaches to discover, all a short drive away. For bars and restaurants, drive to either Chalikounas or Mesongi, both only fifteen minutes away.

The Siren's Shanty

This charming apartment in the quaint village of Benitses is the perfect place for embracing a slower pace of life. It draws you in for a getaway of fresh cups of coffee on the flowery balcony, leisurely walks to the nearby sandy beach, and afternoons spent exploring the village.

There's everything you need here for a comfortable stay. Despite the apartment being on the cosy side, the bedroom is beautifully spacious and the kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped. We love how the kitchen and bathroom take on a more modern look with new appliances and sparkling surfaces, while the bedroom is more traditional and cosy. You'll love waking up and stepping straight out onto your balcony, listening to the songs of the early birds and feeling the warmth of the morning glow. 

When you want to explore, you're just 100 metres away from the sugary white beaches of Benitses. Relax on a sun lounger while sipping on a nice cold Mythos, occasionally taking a dip in the turquoise waters. If you get itchy feet, the traditional fishing village is one with a long history, which you discover as you wander around its cobbled streets. If you fancy something more strenuous, then the area is full of excellent hiking trails among the lush greenery. You're likely to spot some beautiful hidden churches along the way, too. After a day well spent, nothing beats a crisp glass of wine on your balcony, before heading out to sample the village's famous seafood. 

Blushing Garden

Board Games

This side of Corfu is absolutely magical, with wild beaches, lush green landscapes and a mountain dominating the skyline. Far away from the busy resorts and large-scale hotels, this tiny complex is home to just three villas. And yours just happens to have its own sparkling private pool, a sunny terrace and a lawned garden – perfect for families. Here you can stroll to the little local beach in just five minutes, emerging through the greenery to a sandy bay backed by dramatic cliffs. 

The home is geared towards comfort and easy living, with smart, modern interiors and sleek, contemporary furnishings. Step out from your open living space onto the covered terrace to lounge or eat alfresco in the shade. And we love the lower ground floor playroom, where young and old can get together for a game of air hockey or some fun on the Playstation. There's even a sofa bed down here for youngsters.

Spend your days walking the coastline or playing on the beach, and don't forget to visit nearby Korissian Lake – a nature reserve known for its cormorants and flamingoes. Back at home, work up an appetite on the outdoor gym equipment while the kids make the most of the swings and slide, before lighting the barbecue for a well-earned meal by the pool.  



The Undiscovered Shore

Surrounded by olive trees with views across the sea and mountains, this home opens its doors to the refreshing beauty of Corfu. And with its location just a short walk from the beach, there’s everything you could need to experience the atmospheric charm of the island.

From the sun-soaked living room and rustic bedrooms to the terrace and balcony, this is the perfect setting to relax and share quality time together. So whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning coffee in the fresh sea air, lounging with a book on the sofa or savouring a magical barbecue meal that lingers long into the evening, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. 

Days can be spent exploring the local area, wandering along the marina and pausing for drinks in a traditional taverna. The UNESCO World Heritage Centre of Old Corfu Town is just a short drive away, while keen walkers will love the close proximity to spectacular hiking trails. 

Everyday Peace

The uninterrupted sea views from this glorious home are seriously special. You’ll be able to watch boats sailing by whether you’re dining on the terrace or chilling out inside, thanks to the walls of glass. This home has everything you need for a relaxing break, including a private swimming pool with a poolside gazebo, and delightful gardens full of palms, eucalyptus, and olive trees. Ideal for large groups, this home is spread between the main villa and several separate rooms with independent access – perfect for couples seeking more privacy. You’re just a short stroll from the charming village of Gouvia, where you’ll find two beaches in addition to bars and shops. What more could you ask for?

On Corfu’s east coast, perched upon a hilltop is this stunning retreat. It’s a hard one to beat. The 180-degree sea views are out of this world. Watch them as you float in the dreamy heated pool. Or as you gather with your favourite people around the alfresco table. Happy days. 

Inside, a lot of thought has gone into the details. Carefully curated art hangs from the bare brick feature walls. The pleasingly sturdy stone floors, lead to huge floor-to-ceiling glass doors. There’s that sea view again. Meanwhile, colourful designer sofas are there for slumping on during sun breaks. A Bluetooth sound system is on hand for early evening barbecues on the terrace. Kids are well catered for too. We’re talking PlayStation; table tennis; board games…the list goes on. 

Access Corfu’s majestic old town in 15 minutes by car. Explore its buzzy cafes, bars and boutiques. Or drive for 20 minutes and reach some of the island’s best beaches. This is island living as it should be.

24-Hour Front Desk

While this hotel suite may not be the most luxurious place to stay, it's a fantastic choice for a sun-soaked solo trip or a picturesque romantic getaway. The furnished balcony and private pool overlook the Ionian Sea and Pontikonisi, so you're guaranteed spectacular views. Your self-catering options are limited – we're talking a mini fridge and coffee-making facilities only – but complimentary breakfast is included and there's a smattering of places to eat, drink and generally be merry nearby. While the local area can be discovered on foot, we suggest a car for ease – a saunter around Corfu's old town (4 kilometres away) is a must.

Ionian Delight

Shared Pool

Is there anything better than lying in the sunshine, with the soft sound of waves on the shore lulling you to sleep? This holiday home is the perfect place for a family break by the sea, where the most you have to worry about is whether to sunbathe on the lawn or on the beach. 

The bungalow is pretty and bright, with lots of light thanks to floor-to-ceiling patio doors. It’s an ideal space for a family, with a comfy lounge area and a petite kitchen for you to whip up snacks. You’ll likely spend most of your time outside, enjoying alfresco meals on the terrace, or revelling in the sunny weather and sea views from the garden. You can sunbathe amid flowers, read in the shade of the olive tree, and gaze out at the calm blue sea. When you want to cool off, you need only take a few steps to reach Glyfada beach and the soothing shallows. The soft white sand is ideal for little ones, and the sea is clear. 

This charming bungalow is part of a large resort, which has its own restaurant and minimarket, as well as a children’s pool. This is the kind of holiday home that takes the stress out of travel – everything you need is right here. 

When you want to explore further afield, you can hop on one of the buses to Corfu Town. Shop for souvenirs as you see the sights and soak up the atmosphere. There’s also a golf course nearby – nobody has to miss out here.

Herb Garden

Surrounded by nature and overlooking the Ionian coast, it’s impossible not to relax in this contemporary villa. There are so many holiday boxes this home ticks – a private pool, sun-drenched terraces, alfresco dining opportunities and sea views – what’s not to love? If the sight of the sea has you itching to explore, it’s a mere five-minute drive to Kontogialos beach, where besides the sand and sea, tavernas and bars await. With a selection of other hidden coves dotted along the coast, and Corfu Town a short drive away, you’ll never be lost for things to do.

Sleek and stylish, this villa is a splendid base for a relaxing break in Corfu. It’s located on a small hilltop just off the central road to Corfu Town, eight minutes from a fabulous golf course, with plenty of beaches nearby. Tranquil Ermones beach is only ten minutes away. The villa is modern and attractive, with a beautiful infinity pool facing delightful views, and an alfresco dining space. Inside, there’s plenty of room for everyone to spend time together in the living room, the well-equipped kitchen, and the games room.

From the Gods

Set atop a hill on Corfu’s west coast, this elegant villa offers some of the best sea views the island has to offer. Outside, the pristine infinity pool is the perfect place to while away the hours on a hot summer’s afternoon. When you’re not bobbing about in the cool water, you’ll be lolling on loungers or dipping hunks of bread into olive oil at the table on the shady terrace. 

Inside the home, it’s pared-back and refined with a living space that calls for curling up with a coffee in the mornings and a dining room geared up for feasts that last well into the evening. Watch the waves ripple on the horizon from your bedroom’s private balcony before indulging in a serious pamper session in the sunken bathtub – the huge window ensures you never miss a second of the glittering ocean vistas. 

If you’re in the mood to explore, it’ll take you six minutes to drive to Paramonas Beach and eighteen minutes to reach the Byzantine Fortress of Gardiki. Should you be after a little more hustle and bustle, Corfu town is less than a forty-minute drive away, 

Nothing Compares

Juicer

Step-Free Access

Balcony / Patio

Despite its modest appearance, this villa is a sun-kissed retreat. The biggest draw is the garden, where a sparkling swimming pool, ancient olive trees and a shaded terrace aim to please. Inside, the design is bright and contemporary – albeit not the most exciting – but all the mod-cons are accounted for, including a nice soaker tub in the main en-suite. As for location, it's a fifteen-minute drive from Corfu Town, and you'll find Kontokali's restaurants, shops, and sandy beach nearby, too.

Grecian Alabaster

Luxury Toiletries

Mini Bar

This address close to the east coast of Corfu is all about pairs. For instance, there's not just one villa on this four-acre estate full of Mediterranean trees and flowers, but two neighbouring homes. 

They both contrast in style slightly — one is dominated by exposed brickwork and wooden ceiling beams, the other relies on cooling white walls and contemporary furnishings —but both share the same generosity when it comes to living space and attention to detail when it comes to design.

Similarly, there are two swimming pools that, again, differ. Both are heated, but one is L-shaped and the other an infinity pool that looks out over the dazzling sea and Greek mainland beyond. You don't need us to tell you that either is the perfect place in which to relax on a hot summer day. All around these pools, you'll find no shortage of lounges and terraces where you can take a breather in the shade.

The local area has plenty of watersports clubs from which you can borrow equipment for water-skiing, wakeboarding or parasailing, while the golden sands of Glyfada Beach take just over twenty minutes to reach in the car if you want to do nothing more demanding than sunbathing. Corfu Old Town is a quarter of an hour's drive away, too.

Resort Access

This lavish villa on the Corfu coast is the best of both worlds – a private path leads straight to a secluded slice of sandy beach, lined with loungers and lapped by crystal-clear water and a private jetty stretches into the Ionian Sea for boat charters or just a spot of sunbathing. Yet, you’re just a fifteen-minute drive from Corfu Old Town where you can get lost in the labyrinth of boutique-lined ancient streets, or hit the buzzing restaurants and bars of Liston. 

Apart from private beach access, this villa has myriad things to keep you relaxed and entertained. Plunge into the infinity-edge pool for a cooling dip, or fire up the hot tub to soothe aching muscles with a cold drink in hand. An array of terraces and patios are scattered across the outside space, where you’ll find shaded dining nooks, beanbag loungers to soak up the rays and outdoor lounge areas with sea views. 

The main villa boasts an open, breezy living area where a sleek white kitchen and ink-black dining table are pure zen, and soft blues and teal in the living room remind us of the sea scene outside. There’s a second sitting room which can act as a private office should you need to work remotely – the sea view from glass balcony doors here can’t help but inspire and you can pause for a break on lounge furniture as boats drift by. Those that appreciate a bit more privacy can opt for the garden annexe with its own entrance, kitchenette and sitting room.

For a coastal escape on the idyllic island of Corfu, look no further than this chic, minimalist villa. Set on a small spit of land close to Kontakali, this stunning retreat offers beach access and jaw-dropping views over the island.

The home's upside-down layout makes the most of its beachfront location, ensuring you can socialise in the first-floor spaces with uninterrupted views rolling out before you. In addition to the open layout of the kitchen and living room, vast sliding doors reveal a scenic outdoor dining area that sits on a wrap-around balcony.

Head downstairs and discover three en-suite bedrooms decorated in soothing earth tones to help you effortlessly drift off after a day in the sun. Each enjoys direct access to the lush gardens and poolside patio, where we imagine you'll spend most of your time lounging in the sun, enjoying refreshing dips in the water and relishing those awe-inspiring vistas.

If you fancy a change of scenery, the family-friendly waters of Kontakali Beach are little more than 100m away. Elsewhere, the picturesque Daphnila, Dassia, and Glyfada beaches offer still seas and breathtaking natural beauty within a half-hour drive of your front door.
