The Undiscovered Shore

The Undiscovered Shore: Corfu

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.
