Property Description
A quiet lane below the village of Pelekas leads to this villa, set among mature gardens in the countryside of central Corfu. The setting feels private, yet Corfu Town and the island’s west coast, with some of Corfu’s longest sandy beaches, are only a short drive away.
Morning light fills the main living space through full-height French doors, while the vaulted ceiling and exposed whitewashed beams add a strong sense of height. The sitting room, dining area and kitchen are arranged as connected spaces, extending naturally onto the terrace outside.
A garden villa shaped by olive trees, open skies and the quiet countryside of central Corfu.
Three bedrooms and three bathrooms complete the accommodation. The bedrooms shown are bright and understated, with timber floors and French doors that bring in natural light and connect with the gardens.
The gardens are carefully structured with sweeping lawns, mature olive trees, flowering borders and dry-stone terraces that give the grounds both colour and depth throughout the seasons. At their centre, an organically shaped swimming pool curves around a broad sun deck, while the wraparound veranda provides shaded places to sit throughout the day.
Country tranquillity with Corfu Town and the island’s finest sandy beaches within easy reach.
Peaceful yet well connected, Anthos places the village of Pelekas, Corfu Town and the sandy beaches of the island’s west coast within easy reach. Back at the villa, the gardens, veranda and pool create a setting that is equally suited to quiet mornings and long summer afternoons.
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.
