This sixteenth-century Venetian villa overlooks shimmering olive groves down to the Ionian sea, this historical and unique villa provides seclusion and privacy, whilst only a short walk to the village and nearby coast.
The property has been lovingly restored over the past twenty-five years, bringing it back to life as a family home with letting potential. Every effort has been made to preserve the original features constructed by Venetian builders, including the Maltese stones, identical to those used to build the Palace of St Michael in Corfu Town. It has attracted and hosted many famous visitors, as well as many influenced by the brothers Durrell, who both referred to Corfu as ‘Paradise’. Both Gerald’s widow and Lawrence’s daughter have stayed here, and were instrumental in creating a study centre for Gerald Durrell’s Corfu.
The main house contains three large bedrooms, the master suite with ensuite and private terrace, a twin bedroom and another double bedroom. a sitting room and a spacious cook’s kitchen. There is a one bedroomed annexe with its own kitchen and courtyard with the potential to create a second bedroom. Separately there is a substantial undeveloped Olive Press, which could convert into additional living space and further three/four bedrooms or an independent dwelling with its own entrance. The outstanding feature of this property is its many levels of outside space, offering restful spaces with differing views and aspects. Everything has been thought of including a platform for plenty of outside parking. It is crucial to visit to fully appreciate what this property has to offer as the clever attention to privacy makes it almost impossible to capture in a photograph.
