Property Description
Corfu, the evergreen island is rightly acclaimed as one of the most beautiful areas in the Mediterranean region and one of the top five destinations in the last unspoilt paradise of the Mediterranean, Greece. Boasting incomparable views, an enchanting blend of natural attributes and beauty, a rich history and culture and one of the most beautiful Old Towns designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Ida is a flawless 4 bedroom property which will enchant its visitor at a first glance. It is situated on an 8-acre seafront site, south-facing and commanding inspiring views over the sea, with tantalising glimpses of the mainland and the other Ionian Islands. Its location, on the famous north east coast, Nissaki, is only 20 minute walk to Kaminaki and from there a 15 minute coastal walk to Agni.
The house embodies many of the influences of contemporary semi-tropical living: low-lying, discreetly blending in with its surroundings, with walls of glass that slide back to merge indoor and outdoor living. Entrance to the villa is made through ancient gates that were brought from Jaipur, the pink city of India, a fitting to the rosy-faced stone that appears throughout the property. A beautiful courtyard featuring a living wall of blue-flowered plumbago and a massive teak tree root system displayed as a work of art will immediately attract attention. The pink stone path that leads to the house continues on down the shelving slope, winding, walled, and Byzantine-inspired. It gradually gives way to the rock terraces, shaped by nature, that slide into the sea.
Head down to the sea by the private stone pathway leading to two different seafront terraces, one with sun loungers and a bathing ladder. The north east coast is ideal for exploring by boat and there is a small landing platform to make embarkation from the rocks easier.
Everything is designed with attention to detail to enable the visitor to completely relax. A formal garden terrace, planted with lawns and trees of several varieties, punctuated with ornamental water features, stretches to a superb viewpoint where a pergola-shaded sitting area forms the perfect spot for decompressing! Elsewhere, several seating areas and outdoor dining arrangements take full advantage of the space and views.
The villa is on two levels. The ground floor features a fully-equipped open-plan kitchen, dining room, sitting room and study which opens on to the shaded terrace and swimming pool. The fully furnished outdoor living areas offers comfortable chic seating, a bar and outside dining area. There is also an outdoor kitchen. There are three elegantly furnished bedrooms with top quality king size beds, (two of which are super king sized and one has external access only )bed linen, accessories with their own ensuite bathrooms.
On the upper level of the villa, there is a fourth master bedroom boasting a super king size bed and en suite bathroom with shower over bath, dressing room and private terrace.
Home entertainment is provided in the form of TV in the sitting room. There is also a Sonos music system throughout the house, also covering the garden, bar and pool area.
Ida comes with a chef who will provide breakfast and lunch or dinner, 6 days a week and a housekeeper.
Highlight : An excellent multilingual villa manager with local knowledge.

Somewhere between Calabria and Corfu the blue really begins…you are aware of a change in the heart of things: aware of the horizon beginning to stain at the rim of the world: aware of islands coming out of the darkness to meet you’.
So begins Lawrence Durrell’s 1945 ode to Corfu, Prospero’s Cell. Even today, visitors to the island often arrive by sea, approaching from Italy in the west, of the Greek mainland in the east.
Emerging in the early morning sunshine, the pastel-hued houses above Corfu Town’s old port are a jumble of slim tiers with narrow passages running between them, made brilliant with washing hung out to dry from every balcony like festive bunting. The tall Venetian mansions display ancient coats of coloured paint, blurred by successive winters and giving visitors to the town the feeling of stepping into a watercolour painting.
Corfu has rightfully earner the title of the music capital of Greece because of its hundreds of music associations and dozens of orchestras, bands, opera music events a tradition dating back to 400 years of Venetian rule of the island.
The town is centred on a wide tree-lined esplanade called the Spianada, whose French arcades echo the Rue de Rivoli. A drop of Britishness is to be found on the noble sweep of this square, which is transformed into a cricket pitch throughout the summer – the world’s only working sports field within a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Meanwhile, the Corfiot countryside boasts elegiac greenery, unrivalled across Greece and contrasting remarkably with the solemn barrenness of the Aegean. Bathed in brilliant white sunlight throughout the summer months, the winter rains ensure a sublime frondescence across the island, with the inland valleys thickly carpeted with wildflowers, studded with gnarled olive trees and dense groves of stiffly swaying cypresses.
