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?

This is the home for sporty types of all stripes – a tennis court, gym machines and a 14-metre private swimming pool are all here. Post-workout options are more abundant still – there’s a traditional sauna for deep muscle relaxation, a steam room and a treatment room for massages and spa therapies (at additional cost). The tech is also up-to-the-minute – there’s a TV in every room and an indoor/outdoor sound system. In the unlikely event that you exhaust your options at home, the beautiful neoclassical Corfu Town is just eight kilometres away.

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.

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.

Corfu Calling

Library of Books

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

From its hilltop position in Dassia, this villa boasts unobstructed sea views. It’s the ideal choice for families looking for a peaceful break, though the hustle and bustle of Corfu Town is only a twenty-minute drive. Dassia Village and the beach are closer to home, both within walking distance. The outside space here is stunning – we love the shallow pool and its sun loungers. There’s even a playground for kids. Inside, you’ll find modern amenities including a Jacuzzi bath and a phototherapy steam sauna. 

The Red Rose

DVD Library

You'll find many a Corfu home with views of the Ionian Sea and plenty more that look out to Mount Pantokrator, but rarely will you see one with a panorama that manages to combine both of these natural elements in such picturesque fashion.

Perched just above the village of Barbati, this villa has been blessed when it comes to the surrounding landscape and it really makes the most of it. You can appreciate this peaceful scenery while swimming in the infinity pool, dining out on the terrace or relaxing on the bedroom's balcony before you turn in for the night.

The stone home is quietly impressive when you step in through its doors, with its sleek kitchen island, luxurious bathrooms and splashes of colour coming from the collection of vibrant artwork.

When you need to stock up, Barbati's bakery, shops and markets take about fifteen minutes to reach on foot and even has its own beach in case you needed added incentive to make a visit. In the other direction, Nymfes Waterfall is a thirty-five-minute drive away.

Nectar of the Gods

Free Parking

Nestled within a garden of whispering Cyprus trees, this home is a private oasis on the north-eastern coast of Corfu. From here, you can wind your way down to a small beach or adventure further afield to Barbati Beach (just a fifteen-minute drive away). It’s also just a twenty-minute drive to Corfu Town – making this a great spot for those in search of adventure and total relaxation. By sunset, the terrace lends itself perfectly to evening drinks and barbecue meals. Housekeeping is included in your stay and there is a concierge service offering sweet extras like private chefs and massage treatments. It’s also worth noting two of the bedrooms are located in an independent guest house – offering a wonderful sense of privacy.

Desk / Workplace

Situated overlooking Corfu's east coast from an exclusive private estate and boasting 180-degree sea views and all those nice-to-have amenities, this island haven ticks all the boxes.

It's been designed to show off a straightforward architectural approach, with exposed brickwork characterising most of the interior and exterior spaces, creating a warm and welcome ambience.

Serene gardens house a large infinity pool with a hot tub, plus in-water sun loungers so you can easily slip into the water when the heat of the sun gets too much. There's more seating surrounding the water, with an outdoor lounge and dining area in addition to plenty more sun loungers.

Inside, the home features plush seating and designer furniture, which sit beneath vaulted ceilings and easy access to the outdoors for ultimate inside/outside living. In addition, each of the individually decorated en-suite bedrooms features luxurious bedding.

If you can tear your eyes away from that view, Corfu's magnificent old town is a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive away, while some of the island's most picturesque beaches, such as Glyfada, can be reached in a similar amount of time.

Located up in the tranquil hills of Corfu, this spacious and dreamy villa offers elevated views across the island's gold coast – including the marina resort of Gouvia, just 1.5km away. This well-thought-out space is spread across three floors and has been tastefully decorated. It's a fantastic choice for large families – children of all ages will love playing games in the property's huge playground. We love the comfortable and private pool terrace, complete with BBQ for alfresco dining. While you can explore the local area on foot, we suggest a car for ease – Corfu town is 7km from the property and makes for a great day trip.

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

High above the Ionian Sea, so you can soak up the Mediterranean sunshine from the comfort of your lounger while watching the waves lapping the shore, this villa is both beautifully appointed and architecturally brilliant. Walk down the private path onto the beach below and stretch out on the soft sands or paddle in the crystalline shallows. Pick out your reserved sun loungers and umbrellas for a stress-free day by the sea. The ability to glide seamlessly from the beach to your villa means that everyone's preferences are catered for at this crowd-pleasing pad. 

Days begin outside, with a freshly brewed cup of Greek coffee on the decked terrace, listening to the calm sounds of the sea while being gloriously sunken into the wild foliage and sprawling olive trees. After a gentle start, lie back and relax on a lounger with a good book or swim a few leisurely lengths in the infinity pool. When lunchtime beckons, grill some locally sourced meat and fish on the barbecue and feast together in the alfresco dining area. 

When the midday heat picks up outside, you'll find an impressive open-plan space with patio doors and a mezzanine level above to unwind in. It's light and airy throughout the day, while you'll immediately notice the high-end touch that's been added to this bright space – from the chocolate-brown sofa in the living room to the Eames-style chairs in the dining area – this villa will have you relaxing in style. 

When you're not soaking up the plush atmosphere of your home, head out and explore and in addition to the nearby beaches, the charming villages of Tsavrou, Gouvia and Dasia are twenty minutes away on foot.  

Speckled Shores

This delightful hidden gem is like something from a dream. From the cooling water of the private infinity pool, gaze out past the gorgeous green forest to the sparkling sea beyond and watch as the sailboats quietly pass by. While you enjoy your swim with the quiet of nature surrounding you, others may decide to curl up on the day bed, sip a glass of bubbly, and get lost in a good book. As outdoor living makes its way into the villa, natural materials and grand windows welcome the sunlight with open arms. Ideal for social living, we love the open-plan space with comfortable cushions to sink into. Eclectic artwork cuts through the neutral yet tranquil atmosphere perfectly, adding just the right amount of colour. 

Located in Kommeno, if you fancy an evening off cooking, you’re ideally situated for some delicious local cuisine. After a restful night’s sleep, watch the sunrise with your feet up on the chaise under the sweet pergola – you’re bound to start the day with a smile. 

Nectar & Honey 

With panoramas of the sea and village, this villa is a dreamy getaway on Corfu's eastern coast. The infinity pool immediately drew our eye, but the rest of the garden is just as lovely. A special mention must be made for the main suite, which spans the entire first floor and features three private balconies boasting delightful views. The other bedrooms are on the ground level, so they're ideal for guests who struggle with stairs – although the style inside isn't nearly as impressive as the scenery. Gouvia, a former fishing village with a bustling marina, is nearby – you're only a three-minute drive from its beach. Corfu Town is also ten minutes away by car.

The Village View

Ice Machine

Indoor Pool

Located near the picturesque Danilia Village, where one of the James Bond films was shot, this home is just as sleek and sophisticated as 007 himself. Inside, style unfurls in a neutral palette of white, grey and black, and the kitchen is proof enough of the high level of luxury on offer here, but you’ll find more evidence woven through the rest of the home. 

The indoor pool, for one, is lit with dozens of lights that penetrate the crystalline, heated waters like little pinpricks, whilst the outdoor swimming pool gives way to a beautiful space of relaxation. The latter is where you’ll likely spend most of your sun-drenched days taking advantage of the coastal weather by barbecuing lunch in the loggia, where you can also dine al fresco. 

Walk the grounds and socialise as the kids run around on the expansive green, and when you’re up for a day out, hit the beach – only minutes away – or the marina. Grab lunch at a local taverna or pick up fresh produce so you can cobble your own meals together. Grab snacks and drinks and make yourself comfortable in front of the projector for a family night of movies. 

For Your Eyes Only

Rooftop Terrace

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.  

Beach Party

We are totally smitten with this stunning Corfu villa, and with just one glance at the outdoor space, you'll see exactly why – the beautiful infinity pool, the flowing white curtains and the views over the hills and houses of picturesque Corfu, all work to make this home feel like a true paradise. It's based in a peaceful and pretty spot, just a short drive from the beach in the idyllic village of Kastania.

Lazy sunny mornings can be spent floating in the pool with a freshly squeezed OJ in hand, while warm afternoons invite you to get stuck into a good book on one of the beanbag loungers. There's a covered dining area here too where you can feast on Greek salads and kebabs, and share a toast to your special getaway.

Inside, you'll find cool and contemporary design that makes the home feel simple yet elegant. We love the natural materials that are blended expertly together with industrial features, creating a super stylish space. You can spend blissful evenings playing some card games at the table, or cooking up feasts in the fully-equipped kitchen.

Still Reflections

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. 


Willows & Olives

Fenced Pool

Set among Cyprus trees, this welcoming and bright villa captures industrial chic with its use of traditional solid brick. You’ll also find exposed beams, sleek furnishings and the type of fixtures that create the maximum impact with minimal effort. Step inside and start to unwind from the moment you first sit down on the plush sofa with a glass of wine. 

From here you’ll also get a glimpse of the expansive outdoor area – another highlight of the accommodation – where lazy poolside days are the order of the day. Slather on the sunscreen, grab a cocktail and a book and make yourself at home on one of the sun loungers until it’s time to light the barbecue for a grilled lunch.

With a stunning view of the sea and the rolling hills beyond, al fresco meals on the terrace are a must. Take in the panoramic vistas, and expect to even find glimpses of green through the floor-to-ceiling bathroom window, where you can enjoy a bath in the sunken tub.

Visit the marina – only minutes away – or take a boat trip to experience a different view of Corfu when you’re not dining at one taverna or the other.

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.
