Property Description
Where the hillside above Kalamaki meets the shore, a white-rendered villa of two storeys sits in its own terraced garden of olive, cypress, and bougainvillea, oriented to the open water and the mountains beyond. The terracotta roof and blue shutters catch the last of the afternoon light; from the pool terrace the view opens out, and the mountains hold the far shore in a long still line across the water.
The living room occupies the upper floor, under a high gabled ceiling of pale timber beam and board. French doors open on two aspects onto the terrace, in the late afternoon, the light comes off the water through both sets simultaneously, and the room holds it evenly from end to end.
Terracotta roof, blue shutters, pale timber ceilings — and the Ionian filling every window.
A fireplace anchors the seaward wall; blue-grey sofas, a glass coffee table, and white cabinetry line the room around it. The dining area is adjacent: a long pale oak refectory table set under the same beamed ceiling, with French doors giving onto a pergola terrace above the garden and the sea.
Seven bedroom suites are arranged across both floors, each with its own bathroom. The principal suite is on the upper level with direct terrace access; six further suites occupy the lower floor, opening onto the pool terrace. A family room on the lower level — tile-floored, with a pool table in pale oak, colourful canvases on white walls, and a staircase rising to the main floor — completes the lower floor.
The pool terrace looks out over the water to the mountains; the beach is a path through the garden away.
The pool terrace is the centre of the property’s outdoor life: a large rectangular pool in stone surrounds, a circular jacuzzi set into the paving alongside it, sunloungers ranged along the railing, and bougainvillea in deep pink running the length of the balustrade. The mountains across the water are visible from every position on the terrace. At the far end, a striped outdoor dining table sits under the open sky; behind it, the garden descends through olive and cypress toward the shore.
A path through the garden leads down to the sand at Kalamaki Beach, the water calm and shallow at the shoreline.
This property is eligible for both the Golden Visa and the Greek Non Dom Program.

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.
