Villa Description
A downhill track takes you to a parking area, where there is a small covered courtyard with a bistro table and chairs. The solid wooden door leads into the open plan living space, which features a dining area and lounge with beamed ceiling and exposed stonework.
On entry to the Villa, a door leads to a small dressing area, then through to a shower room and brightly furnished twin bedroom. Patio doors from this room open out onto the courtyard at the entrance of the villa.
The lounge has comfortable sofas and a decorative, feature fireplace. Patio doors off from here lend plenty of light and fabulous views of the Ionian Sea, even while sitting.
The Kitchen area is fitted with traditionally styled units and is fully equipped. Off the kitchen, there is a separate small utility room with a washing machine and small basin.
The double bedroom has an en suite shower room and is located at the other end of the villa with patio doors leading on to a terrace and private infinity pool (which has a safety glass around one side, so as not to obscure the views).
Outside is the shaded terrace with an alfresco dining area and stone-build BBQ which looks out to the Ionian Sea and small cove on the North East Corfu coast. The terrace has direct access to the private infinity pool and sunbathing area as well as a separate Jacuzzi-splash pool where you can cool off from the midday sun. Whether lounging on a sunbed or cooling down in the pool, you cannot escape the breath-taking sea views that surround the villa.
