With a great hillside location close to the east coastline of Paxos, this villa has superb views of the bright blue sea and the Greek mainland on the very distant horizon. Even just reading those words will tell you that it's an idyllic backdrop that makes it easier than ever to relax. Lazy afternoons can be spent gliding through the swimming pool, catching some rays on one of the loungers or seeking some shady respite under the woven-roofed verandah. Inside, the array of glass doors and windows means that the Mediterranean sunshine is invited inside, too. We're big fans of the contemporary design, which puts emphasis on a soothing colour palette of greys and whites, as well as clean lines and industrial-chic lighting. When you fancy a change of scenery, the nearest beach — Paralia Kamini — takes less than ten minutes to reach on foot, while there are shops and restaurants aplenty in the port town of Gaios, twenty-f...
One of Corfu’s most popular and picturesque beaches is right on the doorstep of this deluxe villa. A private path leads from the terrace to the sand of Paleokastritsa beach where boats for snorkelling trips, tavernas for long lunches and shaded loungers await. So, you can join the crowds on the beach or opt for the privacy of your terrace, overlooking the sea. Sunsets here are particularly spectacular – illuminating the coastline in golden light – perhaps best enjoyed from the covered lounge area with a cold drink in hand. A porticoed veranda covers sofas and chairs all facing the sea and the serene swimming pool invites you for a dip in the heat of the day. Pull back the glass doors and let the beachy breeze into the open living area. In here, a lofty wooden ceiling lets the air circulate and the decor is a soothing medley of scavenged artefacts – twisting rope lights above the long dining table and driftwood pieces throughout....
Located on the lush green island of Zakynthos – and with direct access to the sea – this unique villa is a great choice for a family getaway or holiday with friends. The home has been decorated in neutral tones and is spread across two levels with no lift access – so may not be suitable for individuals with reduced mobility. Guests are free to use the gym equipment and will benefit from a fully equipped kitchen area, as well as brick-built BBQ facilities for alfresco dining. We love the ocean views this villa offers, as well as the private infinity pool – complete with a hydromassage feature. We recommend hiring a car for your stay so you can explore the island with ease. *While the kitchen isn’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home *This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility *Guests will receive a welc...

However, the furniture inside is sleek and contemporary – you'll love the chic, understated colour scheme and relaxed ambiance. Outside, the swimming pool invites you to take a refreshing dip, while the hot tub is perfect for a long soak as you admire the views. And, when you get hungry, fire up the barbeque and grill up a delicious alfresco feast. The turquoise waters of Kerasia beach are just two kilometres away, as is the pebble shoreline of Avlaki Beach. Try your hand at some water sports, or simply kick back on a sun lounger and soak...

Surrounded by fruit trees and olive groves, days at this villa are meant to be spent outside in the sunshine. Whether you prefer a morning swim or a midnight dip under the stars, the pool is the perfect place to cool off and relax. Enjoy an afternoon stroll through the grounds, collecting fresh eggs for breakfast, picking vegetables from the garden and taking the kids to meet the animals on the seasonal hobby farm. Come dinnertime, fire up the barbecue grill, open a bottle of wine and eat outside on the terrace. The views alone are worth staying for – Zakynthos town, the cliffs at Chrystal beach and the small island of Pelouz are all visible from the balcony – but the cosy living space, comfortable bedrooms and fully-stocked kitchen make staying here a breeze. When you crave a seaside day, hop in the car and drive ten minutes to Laganas Beach or for a daytime excursion, rent a boat and visit the caves on Marathonisi Island. Livel...
Spend a week or two enjoying the total bliss that this villa provides. Secluded yet close to the local amenities, just 150 metres from the beach, it’s a dreamy sunny getaway for a family or group of friends. The exterior of the traditional red brick villa is a wonderful first impression, exuding a classic homeliness. Step inside and you’re met with a space that certainly is warm and inviting, but with a contemporary style that suits a modern preference. High ceilings add to the bright and open space – you’ll love heading downstairs in the morning to such a naturally lit home. While the interior is lovely, we imagine you’ll be spending most of your time soaking up the Corfu sun. We love how dispersed the outdoor space is – perfect for groups that value their alone time as much as socialising. Start your mornings with a hearty breakfast beneath the pergola, with a glimpse of the sea in the distance. Then, succumb to the lai...

If you don’t feel like cooking, there’s a restaurant by the pool – perfect for days when you want to relax and savour some local cuisine. There's nothing quite like a cold glass of wine or locally-produced Ouzo to round off a sun-soaked day, so settle on the terrace to watch the sun disappear before enjoying a restful night's sleep. *Private reserved parking is available for one car on-site *This home is just a short walk from Barbati Beach –...
The third-largest Ionian island, Zakynthos is steeped in history, mystery, and striking coastal landscapes. Its beauty by the sea is unrivalled – from breezy shores for watersports, to calm bays where you can spot turtles, and the Port of Zakynthos with four ferry routes to various Mediterranean destinations. And just a sixteen-minute drive from here, natural beauty continues inland. This villa feels far from the traditional Greek homes of the island. Wooden terraces and awnings jut out from tall windows and a garden patio, with red roof tiles making the whole scene feel somewhere between a Japanese Machiya and an Italian farmhouse. It has an almost cottage-like appearance, surrounded by the lushest lawns, brightest flowers, and wonderful scents of lemon and orange trees. Your swimming pool looks like a natural pond in this mountain setting, where it’s hard to imagine you’re just a twenty-minute walk from the beach. Inside...
Consider waking up to the warm sun on your face, the scent of fresh flora, and views of undulating luscious greenery. This villa is paradise and more. Nestled in the herbaceous Agios Sostis landscape, this home overlooking Lagana Bay is an idyllic retreat for a family or group of friends seeking a quintessential Zakynthos experience.

We’re sure you will be wanting to spend most of your time soaking in the sun on your sand-blasted terrace, but if you can pull yourself away, head to Agios Sostis Harbour. Here, you can cross the sea-grazing path to reach t...
This spectacular villa is an ideal choice for large groups. Guests will be split across three buildings – the main house, a guest house, and a small apartment. There are over nine acres of private grounds to explore, including a scented pine forest that houses a small church built in the 1920s. There's also a gym, a well-equipped pool house, and an easy-to-access path from the estate to a pebble beach. The seawater swimming pool and well-tended gardens here even made an appearance in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. Corfu town is a short drive away, as is Corfu Golf Club if you fancy a round or two. *While the kitchen and some of the bathrooms aren’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home *Expect to climb a short flight of steps in order to access the gardens, house, and terraces *Dramatic views mean dramatic drops, so be careful and make sure to supervise children at a...

One of only three villas to enjoy private access to sandy Polis Beach, this home is a treat indeed. From the hillside vantage point, you’ve got uninterrupted views of the horseshoe bay below, where crystal shallows lap at bone-white sand and boat charters await at the stone harbour. A leisurely twenty-five-minute walk into the hills (or a five-minute drive) sees you in the town of Stavros, where you’ll find a handful of tavernas, cafés and supermarkets. Or, make the ten-minute drive along the coast to Frikes for a bigger selection of places to dine. While away the days on the terrace, which juts out of the hillside, overlooking the bay. There’s a dining table out here for candle-lit dinners as the sun sets, and a row of loungers to soak up the rays during the day. Inside, we like the old-world touches like the apothecary coffee table and stone-built sofa in true Greek island style. The duck-egg blue kitchen is reminiscent of farm...
