Villa Kerkyra

The embodiment of opulence and grace, this luxury villa is one of five located on the eastern coast of Corfu, set within lush landscaped gardens and totally encircled by greenery for maximum privacy.

Step inside this generously proportioned two-storey home and you'll encounter an effortlessly sleek and stylish space that makes fantastic use of natural materials to create an informally luxurious atmosphere that encourages you to throw on a pair of Gucci slides as you pad around the place. Each of the tranquil bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom and outdoor access, with two doubles and two twins providing ultimate flexibility when it comes to configuration.

Outside, there are 14,000sqft of private gardens, with an inviting pool, a Jacuzzi, and comfortable wicker furniture, so really there's very little reason to ever leave. However, should you fancy a change of scenery, there are two beaches within a 300m walk. Meanwhile, the city of Corfu is a twenty-minute drive away. Here, you can explore the city's fascinating Unesco-recognised history on foot before sitting down to a well-deserved meal in the shadow of the Venetian fortress.
