With its pastel villages, rolling olive groves and grand manor houses, the island resembles Tuscany in combination with some of the best beaches in Europe. The informed traveler tends to stay on Corfu's north-east coast, where our villa is located and where similarly most of the elite choose to unwind. One can find tiny fishing villages to eat. Rent a boat and wonder to some of Corfu’s most scenic coves, such as Erimitis, Kerasia, Agni, and Kalami. These pastoral bays still resemble the 'delectable landscape' that Lawrence Durrell fell for in the 1930s. One may venture inland to the UNESCO heritage site of Old Perithia, an enchanting, abandoned village with footpaths, honey producers, and tavernas that specialize in local dishes and delicacies! The cosmopolitan capital is a charming clash of Venetian, British and French colonial influences. A place where evenings kick off with cocktails on the Liston (a colonnade modelled on Paris's rue de Rivoli), followed by dinner at one of the many outstanding restaurants in the confines of the island’s other designated UNESCO Heritage site of Old Corfu Town.
