Property Description
Segreta is a private estate composed of two contemporary villas set within an expansive olive grove landscape, just moments from the coastline. Surrounded by mature trees and low green hills, the property combines the calm of the countryside with close proximity to the sea, creating a setting that feels both secluded and deeply connected to nature.
The architecture follows a restrained contemporary approach, with clean geometric volumes softened by pergolas, shaded terraces, and extensive outdoor living areas. White façades sit naturally within the olive groves, while large openings and wide verandas allow the interiors to remain closely connected to the surrounding landscape throughout the day.
Each villa is arranged around open-plan living spaces where kitchens, dining areas, and sitting rooms flow together with ease. Floor-to-ceiling openings bring natural light deep into the interiors and lead directly onto the terraces and pool areas. The atmosphere is relaxed and understated, with neutral tones, soft natural light, and simple materials that reflect the surrounding environment.
Together, the villas contain five double bedrooms and six bathrooms. Each bedroom opens onto its own private veranda or terrace, allowing uninterrupted views across the olive groves and distant sea. The rooms are designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, creating a quiet retreat after time spent outdoors.
The exterior spaces shape the rhythm of daily life at Segreta. Two large swimming pools sit within broad stone terraces lined with sunbeds and shaded lounge areas, while pergola-covered dining spaces create natural shelter during the warmest hours of the day. Outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas are integrated into the terraces, allowing long meals to unfold beside the pools as evening light settles across the landscape.
The grounds are planted with Mediterranean vegetation and mature olive trees that provide both privacy and natural shade. Stone paths connect the villas and outdoor areas, while open lawns and garden spaces create room for families and guests to move easily between the different parts of the estate. A subtle sea breeze moves through the terraces and olive groves in the late afternoon, reinforcing the calm atmosphere of the property.
Additional amenities include playrooms with sofa beds for occasional guests, laundry facilities, private parking, and generous storage areas, making the estate equally suited for extended seasonal living or hosting family and friends.
Segreta combines the scale and flexibility of a private compound with the relaxed character of an olive grove retreat close to the sea.

‘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.
