Classic coastal. This breezy whitewashed villa offers simple elegance by the sea with classic style columns alongside terracotta tiled roofs, chic shutters and rustic stone veranda and terraces. Interiors are light, airy and comfortable with modern floor to ceiling glass windows pulling in the magnificent views from every angle. A perfectly private hideaway surrounded by nature with verdant mediterranean gardens winding down to the azure bay and the tree clad hills beyond.

Corfu, Greek Islands
Families, and other animals
The island of Corfu is where Gerald Durrell began his great love of animals - and the geckos, fish, insects and clear waters that he loved are still very much in evidence today. It’s not completely the same - tourist-focused strips in the north can get very busy and noisy - but beyond them you can still find quiet beaches, stone villages and plenty of sunshine for all the family. Don’t miss Corfu’s beautiful old town, or eating fresh fish in a waterfront taverna.
