Description

Perched high on a verdant hillside in the north-east of Corfu, Old House is a luxury villa with a sea view and then some. From this lavish home-from-home’s sun-baked stone terraces and inviting infinity-edge swimming pool you can see all the way over the glittering Ionian Sea to the lush mountains of Albania.

Old House’s exterior brims with charm. Clad in local stone, it has been designed to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, and secret doorway arches draped in foliage, shuttered windows and decorative, candle-lit fireplace add a romantic edge. Inside, a sophisticated French country house décor gives an intimate and soothing feel; it’s all pastel tones, whimsical drapes, vaulted ceilings and full-height windows. The kitchen/diner/lounge area is compact but super light and airy, and the outside terrace is exceptionally generous for a three-bedroom luxury villa in Corfu.

This is a place that makes it easy to live life in the slow lane. Relax beside the swimming pool (which also comes with a Jacuzzi section), tuck into leisurely al fresco lunches washed down with a glass or two of something chilled or find your favourite outdoor seating nook.

Alternatively, Corfu has plenty to offer if you want to get out and explore, too.

A separate suite – complete with double bedroom and open-plan living/kitchen area – offers an excellent additional space for those guests preferring a touch more privacy.
