Property Description

Located in the beautiful landscapes of Corfu, this elegant stone-built villa just a few kilometers from the renowned beaches of Paleokastritsa and 20 minutes by car from Corfu – embodies Mediterranean charm.
Domenica is found in the picturesque village of Doukades, surrounded by terracotta rooftops and cypress trees, with stunning views of rolling hills in the distance. This traditional village is a hidden gem that offers a truly authentic Greek – Corfiot atmosphere and timeless beauty with its narrow cobbled streets, surrounded by olive groves and mountains.
The historic mansion is nestled within a vast 7,000sqm garden, home to century-old Canary palms, pines, and cypresses that offer cool, luxurious shade – especially valued during the hot Corfu summers. Broad gravel paths wind through pools of dappled shade cast by oak trees, with patches of bright light breaking through and the striking patterns of palm fronds creating black arcs and stripes. Yuccas form dramatic starburst-shaped shadows. The garden’s rich variety of forms is beautifully balanced by a carefully curated selection of plants and a restrained colour palette.
Experience the elegance and tranquility of this magnificent property, where history, art, and natural beauty combine to exceed expectations.
The terraces boast breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the charming village of Doukades, making them perfect spots for relaxation or al fresco dining. The pool, set in a sunny and picturesque part of the garden, serves as a serene oasis just 20 meters from the house. Whether used for peaceful reading, relaxing, fun activities with children, or enjoying an aperitivo with friends, it provides a versatile and inviting space.
Upon entering this castle like property, guests are welcomed by a grand foyer with a soaring 6-meter high ceiling. The home features an inviting living room with an adjoining terrace, perfect for savoring a morning coffee or enjoying a quiet afternoon with a book.

Area Description

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.
In the early morning sunlight, the pastel-hued houses overlook Corfu Town’s historic port. They create a charming medley of slender levels interconnected by narrow alleyways. Laundry hangs from every balcony, resembling vibrant festive bunting swaying in the breeze.
Towering Venetian mansions , bearing ancient coats of colourful paint softened by countless winters, give town visitors the sensation of stepping into a watercolour masterpiece.
Corfu has rightfully earned its reputation as Greece’s music capital
The island boasts a multitude of music associations, orchestras, bands, and a musical tradition dating back 400 years to the Venetian era of the island.
At the heart of the town lies a broad tree-lined promenade known as the Spianada. Elegant French arcades reminiscent of Rue de Rivoli echo through the air. An intriguing British influence can be discovered on this grand square. It transforms into a cricket pitch during the summer, a unique feature as it’s the only operational sports field within a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Meanwhile, the Corfiot countryside showcases a mournful beauty unparalleled across Greece. It contrasts starkly with the stark barrenness of the Aegean. Drenched in brilliant white sunlight during summer, the island undergoes a sublime transformation thanks to winter rains. This causes lush greenery to blanket the inland valleys, which are thickly carpeted with wildflowers and adorned with gnarled olive trees, while dense groves of swaying cypresses punctuate the landscape.
In the sophisticated northeast, known as “Kensington-on-Sea,” you’ll find the finest real estate in Greece. The imposing summer villa of the Rothschild family anchors it. Here, the luxury villa lifestyle reigns supreme. Hillside properties are secluded amidst the landscape, boasting private infinity pools and awe-inspiring sea views. The enigmatic Epirote mountains, crowned in snow, loom mysteriously in the east.
