Property Description
Set immediately above a secluded pebble cove in Agios Spyridon, this five-bedroom villa occupies an exceptional position on Corfu’s north-eastern coastline. A private path winds through the gardens directly to the water’s edge, where crystalline Ionian waters meet the rocky shoreline, while uninterrupted views extend across the sea to the mountains of Albania beyond. Set within 4,067 sqm of mature grounds, the property combines remarkable proximity to the sea with privacy, generous outdoor living and a wonderfully relaxed Mediterranean character.
Extending across 280 sqm, the villa has been designed around light, views and an easy connection with the outdoors. The main living and dining area is bright and generously proportioned, with wide expanses of glazing opening onto the gardens and terraces. A contemporary kitchen with a breakfast peninsula adjoins the dining space, creating an informal and sociable heart to the home.
A private path through the gardens leads directly to the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian.
Five bedrooms and six bathrooms provide generous accommodation, with several bedrooms opening onto private balconies or terraces overlooking the surrounding greenery. Natural tones, timber details and touches of woven texture lend the interiors a relaxed character that feels entirely at home in its coastal setting.
Outside, mature olive trees, Mediterranean planting, lawns and stone pathways create a beautifully established setting as the gardens descend towards the coastline. At their lower edge, a stone-paved sitting area beneath a parasol occupies an extraordinary position immediately above the water – a peaceful vantage point from which to watch sailing boats cross the bay and the changing colours of the Ionian throughout the day.
Closer to the house, a large swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the main terrace, surrounded by generous areas for sunbathing and relaxing outdoors. A separate plunge pool is set into the lawn, while stone walls, mature planting and established trees provide a natural sense of privacy.
Outdoor living is particularly well considered. A substantial covered dining area incorporates an outdoor kitchen, barbecue and preparation space, with a long table for leisurely lunches and evenings outdoors. Timber pergolas provide welcome shade, while a series of terraces and quiet corners throughout the grounds offer different places to enjoy the landscape throughout the day.
From morning swims in the cove to evenings beneath the olive trees, life here is shaped by the sea.
Agios Spyridon is known for its turquoise waters, beautiful beaches and unspoilt natural landscape, with the villages and tavernas of North Corfu within easy reach. Yet the greatest luxury here is found at home: more than an exceptional view, the Ionian is an immediate part of everyday life.
A rare coastal property where over an acre of private Mediterranean grounds, a secluded cove and the clear blue waters of the Ionian come together in one remarkable setting.

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.
