Nothing Compares

Nothing Compares: Corfu

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,

Home truths:
*A car is essential if you want to comfortably explore the area.
*The pool has a dramatic infinity edge, so guests must refrain from standing near the edge or using pool inflatables – children must always be supervised
*A cleaning service attends six days a week and a linen change takes place twice a week
*Corfu Airport is 18 kilometres from the villa
