Villa Gr5007

The gentle lapping of the sea against the terrace wall is like having the Ionian Sea as your own vast, infinity pool.

The building is located within the grounds of a 16th-century olive press. It has been restored to provide you with the holiday of your dreams. The contemporary décor is cleverly merged with tradition, the white stone walls, stunning views framed by the blue-painted window frames (picking up the sparkling blue of the Ionian Sea), the stone floors, and wood-panelled wood ceilings.

The splendid lounge/dining area with a bar at one end provides large comfortable sofas, soft sink into pouffes and occasional chairs. However, the centrepiece of this beautiful room has to be the stunning dining table, the base having been created from the stone from the olive press.

The three gorgeous bedrooms, all with traditional Greek wrought iron style beds. All have access to their part of the terrace. Two are king-size with en-suite Jacuzzi baths and toilets, and the other is a large twin room with queen-sized beds and a separate bathroom with a walk-in shower. There are two additional bathrooms as you walk into the villa from the beach.

The main dining area at the property is set on the terrace, looking out to the mountains. Watch the sun go down and the moon rise as you enjoy dinner at home, and perhaps make use of the stone-built BBQ to cook some of your catch from a day out at sea.

Around the terrace are several beautiful seating, dining, and sunbathing areas, strategically placed under ancient trees and parasols to provide shade as required during the day's heat and make the very best of the magnificent views.

Your full-size tennis court and palm-shaded pool lie a short stroll away on the grounds of the ancient olive grove. You can also find the 16th century Orthodox Agia Pelagia chapel here, which is rarely used except for special celebrations.

Besides the main villa and on the same grounds, two smaller properties are available to your guests: The Boathouse has a living room housing a projector and roll-down screen, two bedrooms with twin beds, and a shower room with WC.

The Guesthouse is slightly larger with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a covered open-air sitting/dining area. These are fitted out in the same delightful way as the larger villa and provide some extra privacy.

You will find the property in the old fishing village of Agia Pelagia. Unspoiled by mass tourism, Agia Pelagia is located southeast of Corfu, between Messonghi and Periti villages. However, its famous fish Tavernas, where you can enjoy homemade wine and fresh fish, still offer a unique taste of Corfu.

There are no shops here. However, villages such as Boukari, Psaras or Petriti, the island's largest fishing port, are only a short drive away in either direction. These will provide you with the daily essentials and, without a doubt, tempt you with their fabulous tavernas when you are passing.

Messonghi, a bustling little town 2.5km away, has all the amenities and offers the nearest water sports to your villa if you need more than these villages can offer. Boat trips to the Blue Lagoon and Paxos leave from here. They are a 'must-do' if you can bear to tear yourself away from the villa for a day.

Why not hire your boat at the time of booking or take a chance when you are here in Messonghi? You could motor-home along the coast, tie up at the jetty and on subsequent days, take the opportunity to take a tour around the beach and see the fabulous coastline from the most advantageous point. The waters around here are fantastic for snorkelling and even fishing; wouldn't it be great fun to catch your dinner?

Should you be looking for miles of golden sands for sunbathing, swimming, or wind-based water sports on the island's west side, only a 10-minute drive away is best for these.

The fabulous beaches of Halikounas and Issos, only separated by ancient pine forests, are ideal with their shallow waters and enough of a breeze for wind or kitesurfing. If you make this trip, you will drive past the ancient hillside village of Chlomos. It would help if you stopped here to admire the narrow cobbled streets, the traditional shops, tavernas and cafés. Still, most of all, take advantage of its location to check out the views to the east and west, a spectacular place to enjoy an evening meal watching the sun go down.

This southeast coast of Corfu has so much to offer. How do you decide? Stay around your fabulous holiday home or venture out and about?
