Set within 100,000 sqm (1,076,391 sq.ft.) of historic gardens and ancient olive groves near Corfu Town, Antico Rosso is a restored estate of exceptional scale and heritage. Originally constructed in the 17th century upon the ruins of a 13th-century monastery, the property reflects the architectural influence of the great Corfiot estates of its era, with long colonnades, stone arcades, internal courtyards and deep terracotta façades softened by decades of Mediterranean light.
A formal stone pathway leads through the grounds toward the principal residence, where symmetrical façades, arched galleries and shuttered windows create a sense of quiet grandeur. Mature palms, cypress trees and extensive olive groves surround the estate, while enclosed courtyards and garden walls preserve privacy throughout the property. Though immersed in complete seclusion, the estate remains only a short drive from Corfu Town, the marina, the airport and the island’s western coastline.
The restoration has focused on preserving the original architectural character while completing the essential structural and reconstruction works required for modern use. Stone arches, vaulted passageways, internal cloisters and traditional masonry have been carefully retained, allowing the next owner to complete the interiors according to their own vision. The atmosphere throughout the estate remains authentic and restrained, with many original architectural details still visible across the buildings.
The main residence extends across one and two levels around a central courtyard and measures approximately 1,750 sqm (18,837 sq.ft.). Large reception rooms, former service quarters and interconnected gallery spaces create substantial internal volume, while wide openings allow natural light to move through the building throughout the day. A 20-metre indoor swimming pool has already been integrated into the structure, positioned beneath high ceilings within one of the estate’s restored wings.
Additional buildings include an old olive press, auxiliary residences and several outbuildings, bringing the total built area to approximately 2,500 sqm (26,910 sq.ft.). The scale of the estate allows flexibility for private residential use, hospitality, wellness or a multi-generational family retreat, while preserving the integrity of its historical layout.
The surrounding landscape forms an essential part of the property’s identity. Stone pathways pass through olive groves and formal gardens, while shaded courtyards create cooler outdoor areas during the summer months. The estate’s positioning within mature vegetation naturally moderates temperature and reinforces the sense of privacy across the grounds.

The villa offers six bedrooms rooms in total, including a generous family room, and a private principal suite positioned to enjoy panoramic sea views. The interiors are thoughtfully designed, with a comfortable living area, a dedicated media and family space, and a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area suited to both everyday living and relaxed entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling openings bring in abundant natural light and create an easy connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding terraces.
A contemporary statement shaped by light, landscape, and sea.
A defining feature of the property is its immediate relationship with the sea. While a discreet coastal road traces the shoreline below, the villa enjoys direct access to the waterfront and is further distinguished by a private floating pontoon positioned directly in front of the property. Designed for both mooring and leisure, this rare amenity accommodates multiple vessels and provides effortless access to the Ionian—an exceptional benefit for boating enthusiasts and those who value a lifestyle closely connected to the sea.
From the villa’s private waterfront, the Ionian’s most sought-after destinations—secluded beaches, hidden coves, lively harbours, and well-known seaside dining spots—are reached directly by sea. In this setting, the water becomes more than a backdrop; it becomes part of everyday life. The property offers not only a coastal setting, but a lifestyle shaped by direct access to the sea and the freedom to explore the Ionian at leisure.
Recently completed and set within one of Lefkada’s most desirable coastal settings, Altius is a contemporary waterfront home defined by architectural clarity, privacy, and direct sea access—an Ionian property shaped by thoughtful design, location, and life by the water.

Altius

Its extraordinary positioning not only ensures privacy and tranquility, but also south-facing orientation—an uncommon feature—bathing the home in sunlight from dawn until dusk.

The Dove House

Where the hillside above Kalamaki meets the shore, a white-rendered villa of two storeys sits in its own terraced garden of olive, cypress, and bougainvillea, oriented to the open water and the mountains beyond. The terracotta roof and blue shutters catch the last of the afternoon light; from the pool terrace the view opens out, and the mountains hold the far shore in a long still line across the water.
The living room occupies the upper floor, under a high gabled ceiling of pale timber beam and board. French doors open on two aspects onto the terrace, in the late afternoon, the light comes off the water through both sets simultaneously, and the room holds it evenly from end to end.
Terracotta roof, blue shutters, pale timber ceilings — and the Ionian filling every window.
A fireplace anchors the seaward wall; blue-grey sofas, a glass coffee table, and white cabinetry line the room around it. The dining area is adjacent: a long pale oak refectory table set under the same beamed ceiling, with French doors giving onto a pergola terrace above the garden and the sea.
Seven bedroom suites are arranged across both floors, each with its own bathroom. The principal suite is on the upper level with direct terrace access; six further suites occupy the lower floor, opening onto the pool terrace. A family room on the lower level — tile-floored, with a pool table in pale oak, colourful canvases on white walls, and a staircase rising to the main floor — completes the lower floor.
The pool terrace looks out over the water to the mountains; the beach is a path through the garden away.
The pool terrace is the centre of the property’s outdoor life: a large rectangular pool in stone surrounds, a circular jacuzzi set into the paving alongside it, sunloungers ranged along the railing, and bougainvillea in deep pink running the length of the balustrade. The mountains across the water are visible from every position on the terrace. At the far end, a striped outdoor dining table sits under the open sky; behind it, the garden descends through olive and cypress toward the shore.
A path through the garden leads down to the sand at Kalamaki Beach, the water calm and shallow at the shoreline.
This property is eligible for both the Golden Visa and the Greek Non Dom Program.

Armonia

Positioned directly on the waterfront in Corfu, this 6,200 sqm (66,736 sq.ft.) property occupies a rare stretch of coastline where the land meets the Ionian Sea without interruption. The setting combines immediate access to the water with open views across the sea towards the mountains of the Greek mainland, creating a landscape defined by light, horizon and the constantly changing colours of the coast.
The property enjoys a private and sheltered atmosphere, shaped by mature trees and established vegetation that surround much of the land while preserving the openness of the sea-facing aspect. Along the shoreline, rocky formations descend gently into clear turquoise waters, creating a direct and natural connection to the sea. The sound and movement of the water remain a constant presence throughout the property, while the orientation allows uninterrupted views from sunrise through the softer light of late afternoon.
The land extends across a largely level waterfront setting, a characteristic that has become increasingly uncommon along many parts of Corfu's coastline. This combination of direct sea frontage, accessibility and privacy creates a strong sense of permanence and ease, allowing the landscape and waterfront position to remain the defining features of the property.
An approved building permit and architectural study are already in place for a residence of approximately 700 sqm (7,535 sq.ft.), while existing groundwork and structural works allow development to continue from an advanced stage.
Despite its secluded character, the property remains conveniently connected to the wider island. Corfu Town, the marina and the sought-after north-east coastline are all within easy reach, together with a selection of restaurants, small harbours and everyday amenities. Yet the setting itself feels distinctly removed from busier areas, defined instead by the sea, the mature greenery and the uninterrupted coastal outlook.
Waterfront properties with direct shoreline access and substantial land holdings are increasingly limited on Corfu. This property combines both, together with approved development potential, in one of the island's most established coastal locations. As the day draws to a close, the sea becomes almost mirror-like along the edge of the shoreline, reflecting the changing light across the Ionian horizon.

Idyllion

Set along a secluded stretch of Corfu’s western coastline, Aeson occupies approximately 8,000 sqm (86,111 sq.ft.) of waterfront land facing directly towards the Ionian Sea. Positioned above a small natural cove, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across the water and a strong sense of privacy created by its setting within the landscape. The coastline below remains immediately accessible, while the elevated position allows the sea to dominate the outlook from almost every part of the residence.
The architecture follows a contemporary vocabulary of clean lines, generous proportions and large glazed openings, carefully positioned to respond to the orientation of the site and the changing light throughout the day. Rather than imposing itself upon the landscape, the house sits comfortably within it, maintaining a close visual relationship with both the sea and the surrounding grounds.
The principal living spaces unfold as a series of interconnected interiors arranged along the seaward façade. Full-height glazing frames the coastline and allows natural light to move deep into the house, while wide sliding openings create a fluid transition between interior and exterior spaces. The overall atmosphere is calm and restrained, with natural materials and a carefully balanced palette reinforcing the connection to the coastal setting beyond.
The kitchen, dining and sitting areas are integrated within the main living space, all oriented towards the sea. The layout prioritises openness and continuity, allowing views to remain present throughout the interiors while creating a natural flow between everyday living spaces and the terraces beyond. Throughout the day, the western orientation brings shifting light into the house before culminating in uninterrupted sunset views across the Ionian.
The main residence contains five bedrooms, each positioned to maintain privacy while preserving a direct connection to the surrounding landscape. Large openings draw natural light into the rooms and frame either sea views or views across the grounds. The private areas continue the same architectural language found throughout the property, favouring proportion, simplicity and natural materials.
A separate two-storey guest studio complements the principal residence and provides additional accommodation independent from the main house. Its elevated position creates a distinct relationship with the surrounding coastline while maintaining privacy from the principal living areas.
The exterior spaces are conceived as a natural extension of the architecture rather than a separate series of amenities. Broad terraces follow the contours of the site and face directly towards the sea, creating multiple vantage points across the coastline. The grounds retain a relaxed Mediterranean character, allowing the property to feel connected to its setting rather than formally arranged within it.
Positioned on one of Corfu’s most sought-after stretches of coastline, Aeson combines contemporary architecture, direct access to the water and a strong sense of privacy within a setting defined by the sea and the changing light of the western Ionian. As evening approaches, the coastline gradually softens into shadow while the horizon remains illuminated by the last light of the day.

Aeson

Villa Jasmine occupies a privileged position in Avlaki on Corfu’s north-east coast, set within a mature seaside setting where the shoreline lies directly opposite the property. Surrounded by established landscaping and positioned to capture views across the bay, the house combines immediate access to the sea with a sense of privacy that is increasingly uncommon along this stretch of coastline. From the upper levels and principal outdoor areas, the outlook extends across the Ionian, where the changing colours of the water become a constant presence throughout the day.
The villa extends across 250 sqm (2,691 sq.ft.) on a plot of approximately 2,000 sqm (21,528 sq.ft.). Its architecture follows the restrained character of the Ionian islands, combining pale rendered façades, natural stone detailing and timber elements that sit comfortably within the surrounding landscape. The arrangement of the house creates a natural flow between interior and exterior spaces, with a series of terraces and living areas positioned to make the most of the coastal setting.
The principal living spaces are bright, relaxed and connected directly to the outdoors. Large openings allow natural light to move through the interiors while maintaining a continuous visual relationship with the gardens and the sea beyond. Soft architectural details and a calm material palette create an atmosphere that feels informal yet well balanced, suited equally to seasonal living or extended stays throughout the year.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms and six bathrooms arranged across different levels of the house, providing separation and privacy between guest and family areas. Several bedrooms benefit from elevated positions overlooking the bay, while the overall design prioritises natural light, comfort and a close connection to the surrounding environment. Throughout the private areas, the atmosphere remains understated and consistent with the relaxed character of the property.
The outdoor spaces form an integral part of the villa’s layout. Broad terraces surround the house and create a series of areas for dining, relaxation and quiet retreat, while the elevated position ensures views towards the sea remain present throughout much of the property. The proximity to the shoreline allows the house to maintain a strong relationship with the bay, creating a setting where indoor and outdoor living naturally merge during the warmer months.
Avlaki is one of the more established residential locations on Corfu’s north-east coast, known for its calm atmosphere, sheltered bay and enduring connection to the sea. Nearby villages, waterfront restaurants and local amenities remain within easy reach, while the property's position preserves a sense of privacy and separation from busier parts of the island. As the light softens across the bay towards evening, the sea becomes the defining element of the setting, bringing a quiet rhythm to daily life along this stretch of coastline.

Jasmine

Lumiere — A Corfu Estate Shaped by Light, Olive, and Sea Lumiere occupies a Corfu hillside where the Ionian opens wide below, and the olive groves climb behind. The estate composes the quintessential Corfiot summer — the one the Durrells knew, of cicadas at midday and the sea turning to hammered silver at dusk — into a residence built for the way that summer is actually lived: across thresholds, between shade and glare, with the doors open. A two-storey main house sits at the centre of the plot. Two earth-sheltered guest accommodations are positioned discreetly among the olives, reached by stone paths. The arrangement gives the estate generous interior space and, equally, the privacy that a Corfu summer demands when the house is full. Ground floor — the daylight rooms The kitchen and dining area open onto a terrace that runs the length of the house through floor-to-ceiling glazing. Beyond it, the pool; beyond the pool, the Ionian. The light here is the particular Corfiot light — white at noon, gold by six, the sea reading first as cobalt and later as bronze. A double bedroom with an en-suite shower room sits on this level, drawing the same view. Lower level — the cool rooms A sculptural staircase descends to the lower living room, anchored by a large energy-efficient fireplace for the cooler months and opening through glass doors directly onto the poolside terrace. Two further double bedrooms occupy this floor, each with its own en-suite bathroom; one carries a walk-in wardrobe. Both bedrooms step out to the pool, sustaining the indoor-outdoor rhythm that defines the estate. The guest accommodations among the olives Stone pathways thread through silver-leaved olive groves — the trees here are old, with the gnarled trunks the island is known for — to two earth-sheltered structures set apart from the main residence. The first is a double bedroom with a partially glazed ceiling, framing an upward view to the pool above and the sky beyond. The second is a complete guest suite: a sitting area, a compact kitchen, and a separate en-suite bedroom. The arrangement accommodates extended family, longer stays, or staff with the discretion such configurations require. The upper vantage A short walk above the main terraces brings a 360-degree prospect of sea and mountains — the orientation captures Corfu's celebrated sunsets, the hour when the air carries the resin of cypress and the heat begins to release from the stone. Specification and stewardship Lumiere is equipped for the long Corfiot season and the cooler months that follow: underfloor heating and cooling throughout, solar panels supporting the estate's energy efficiency, a comprehensive alarm system, an emergency generator, and substantial reserve water tanks. Landscaping and interior greenery are considered as one composition, drawing the olive grove inward and softening the architecture into its setting. Ownership context The estate is eligible for both the Greek Golden Visa programme and the Non-Dom regime — relevant for international buyers structuring a Greek residence as part of a wider European base. Corfu's combination of direct international access through Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport, an established expatriate community, and architectural restraint along its north-eastern coastline sustains a market that rewards estates of this calibre on resale and throughout the rental season alike. Lumiere is a residence in which the Corfiot summer composes itself around the architecture — the light, the olive, the sea, and the long quiet hours between.

Lumiere

Mirabella occupies an elevated position above Barbati Bay on Corfu’s north-east coast, overlooking a landscape where the coastline, sea and surrounding hillsides unfold in uninterrupted succession. Conceived as a private hillside residence, the property is integrated into its setting through a series of low volumes and terraces that follow the natural contours of the land, allowing the architecture to sit comfortably within the landscape rather than above it.
The residence extends across 351 sqm (3,789 sq.ft.) within grounds of approximately 4,528 sqm (48,739 sq.ft.). Its design emphasises openness, natural light and a constant connection to the surrounding environment. Broad openings frame views across the bay, while the arrangement of the house creates a gradual transition between interior spaces and the terraces beyond. From the moment of arrival, the property unfolds through a sequence of levels and viewpoints that respond directly to the topography of the site.
Inside, the atmosphere is calm and understated, defined by natural materials, warm textures and a restrained architectural language. Generous proportions and carefully positioned openings allow daylight to move throughout the house, while maintaining visual continuity with the landscape from almost every principal room. The interiors favour simplicity and permanence, creating spaces that feel both contemporary and closely connected to their setting.
The main living areas are arranged to flow naturally towards the outdoor spaces, with the house designed around the experience of open-air living during the warmer months. The layout encourages movement between shaded and open areas throughout the day, while the elevated position ensures that sea views remain a constant presence across the principal reception spaces.
Accommodation comprises six bedrooms, each positioned to maximise privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape. The rooms continue the same restrained material palette and architectural approach found throughout the residence, creating a consistent sense of calm across both the private and shared areas of the house.
Outdoor living forms an integral part of the property. The grounds are arranged across multiple levels that take advantage of the natural terrain, creating a variety of settings oriented towards the sea and surrounding hillsides. The relationship between the house, the land and the coastline is central to the experience of the property, with each level offering a different perspective across the bay.
Despite its private setting, Mirabella remains within walking distance of Barbati Beach and the waterfront amenities of the bay. The location combines immediate access to the sea with the quieter character of Corfu’s north-east coast, while Corfu Town and the island’s marina remain comfortably accessible.
As the light softens across the hillside in the late afternoon, the changing colours of the bay become the focus of the view, reinforcing the close relationship between the residence and its coastal setting.
The imagery provided is indicative of the completed residence.

Set within nearly 20,000 sqm (215,278 sq.ft.) of private grounds in Kefalonia’s Livathos region, Melodia occupies an elevated position surrounded by the island’s agricultural landscape, with open views extending across the Ionian Sea and the rolling countryside beyond. Approached through a gated entrance and a long driveway, the estate is defined by a strong sense of privacy and space, while remaining within easy reach of the coastline and nearby villages.
The residence is arranged to accommodate both family living and independent guest accommodation, with a layout that allows the various parts of the house to function together or separately as required. Generous interior volumes, high ceilings and large openings create a natural flow between the principal living areas and the outdoor spaces, while the orientation ensures that light moves through the house from morning until evening. Throughout the interiors, a restrained palette of natural materials and neutral tones reinforces the calm atmosphere of the property and keeps the focus on the surrounding landscape.
Accommodation is distributed between the main residence and a series of independent guest suites, providing flexibility for extended family and visitors while preserving privacy throughout the estate. Many of the rooms are positioned to take advantage of the views, which alternate between sea, countryside and the mature landscape surrounding the house. The arrangement of the accommodation creates a balance between shared living spaces and quieter private areas, allowing the property to function equally well as a family residence or seasonal retreat.
The outdoor areas are integrated into the overall design of the estate, extending the living spaces into the landscape. Broad terraces unfold around the house, creating multiple areas for relaxation throughout the day, while the swimming pool is positioned to take full advantage of the open outlook across the surrounding countryside. The scale of the grounds provides a feeling of openness rarely found in coastal properties, with the house remaining visually connected to both the sea and the wider landscape.
Located close to Spartia Bay, the estate enjoys immediate access to one of the most appealing areas of southern Kefalonia. The surrounding region remains characterised by its rural character and low-density development, with a landscape that continues largely uninterrupted towards the coast. Throughout the day, the changing light across the Ionian and the distant hills becomes a constant presence, reinforcing the sense of tranquillity that defines the property.
Eligible for the Greek Golden Visa and Non-Dom Programme.

Melodia

Orabelle occupies an elevated position above the Ionian coastline of Corfu, with uninterrupted views across the sea towards Corfu Town and the wooded shoreline beyond. Set within 3,700 sqm of landscaped grounds, the property combines a strong sense of privacy with an open outlook, allowing the surrounding landscape and water to remain a constant presence throughout the house.
The residence is arranged across three levels and designed to maintain a close relationship with its setting. The principal living spaces are positioned on the main level, where large openings frame the sea and connect directly to the surrounding terraces. Natural light moves easily through the interiors, while a restrained palette of pale stone, neutral tones and simple architectural lines creates a calm and cohesive atmosphere throughout. The layout balances generous communal areas with quieter spaces, making the house equally suited to everyday living and extended stays.
Six en-suite bedrooms are distributed across the property to provide both privacy and flexibility. Three, including the principal suite, occupy the main level, while two guest bedrooms are positioned on the garden floor. An additional bedroom sits on the upper level, benefiting from an elevated vantage point across the coastline. Throughout the private accommodation, the orientation of the house ensures that the sea and surrounding landscape remain closely connected to the interior experience.
The outdoor areas are integrated naturally into the architecture, extending the living spaces towards the view and creating a sequence of terraces that follow the contours of the site. At the centre of this arrangement, the infinity pool faces directly towards the sea, reinforcing the visual connection between the property and the wider Ionian horizon. Shaded and open-air spaces are carefully distributed throughout the grounds, allowing different parts of the property to be enjoyed throughout the day as the light shifts across the landscape.
A dedicated wellness area occupies the lower level of the residence, creating a more secluded environment within the wider property. Positioned separately from the principal living spaces, it adds another layer to the house while maintaining the same sense of privacy and connection to the surrounding setting.
The architectural language remains grounded and balanced, drawing on traditional Corfiot proportions while incorporating contemporary infrastructure and comfort. Modern climate control systems, integrated technology and extensive parking support the practical requirements of the property without detracting from its relaxed character.
Located within easy reach of Corfu Town and the island’s principal amenities, Orabelle combines elevated sea views, mature surroundings and a well-considered layout within one of Corfu’s most established coastal settings. As evening light settles across the bay, the changing colours of the sea and the distant shoreline become the defining features of the view.

Orabelle

Set on a verdant hillside above the western coast of Corfu, Evadne occupies a 5,000 sqm plot that descends gently towards the Ionian Sea. Surrounded by mature Mediterranean vegetation and facing open water from every level, the property enjoys a strong connection to its coastal setting, with a private path leading directly from the grounds to a secluded sandy beach below.
Completed in 2021, the residence has been conceived as a contemporary home that responds carefully to the landscape around it. Natural stone, expansive glazing and clean horizontal lines allow the architecture to integrate comfortably into the hillside while maintaining uninterrupted sea views throughout the interior. Arranged across three levels, the house is oriented entirely towards the coastline, capturing the changing light and colour of the Ionian from morning through to sunset.
Arrival takes place on the upper level, where the principal living areas open directly towards the sea. Large glazed openings create a seamless relationship between the interior spaces and the terraces beyond, while a restrained palette of stone, timber and soft neutral finishes reinforces the calm atmosphere of the house. The proportions remain generous throughout, with every space designed to maintain a visual connection to the landscape and water beyond.
The central level forms the heart of the residence, where double-height volumes and full-height glazing draw natural light deep into the interiors. Three en suite bedrooms are positioned on this floor, each opening towards private outdoor areas and uninterrupted coastal views. The layout balances openness with privacy, ensuring that every room remains connected to the setting while retaining its own sense of retreat.
The lower level provides additional accommodation together with dedicated wellness and fitness facilities. A separate guest residence is positioned closer to the shoreline, approximately 20 metres from the sea, creating an independent space that enjoys both privacy and direct proximity to the water.
Outdoor spaces unfold naturally across the hillside, following the contours of the land rather than imposing upon them. Broad terraces extend towards the sea, while the elevated position preserves open views across the Ionian and the surrounding coastline. The setting remains notably private, with the natural topography and established vegetation creating a sense of seclusion despite the property's direct relationship with the shore.
The combination of contemporary architecture, direct sea access and a carefully considered hillside position creates a residence that feels deeply connected to its surroundings. As the afternoon light moves across the western coastline, the sea becomes the defining feature of the view, stretching uninterrupted towards the horizon beyond.

Evadne

Built into the hillside above the Ionian coastline, Ianthe sits within a private five-thousand-square-metre estate where olive trees and mature Mediterranean planting surround the house on all sides. The architecture is deliberately restrained — long horizontal lines, pale stone, glass and timber — allowing the landscape and uninterrupted sea horizon to remain the central focus throughout the property.
From the moment of arrival, the villa feels closely connected to the water below. Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across both levels, drawing natural light deep into the interiors while framing continuous views across the coastline and open sea. The house extends across approximately 150 sqm of terraces, with each outdoor space positioned to capture a different aspect of the setting, from the stillness of early morning to the warm western light at sunset.
The main living area opens almost entirely onto the pool terrace through sliding glass panels, creating a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. Timber ceilings soften the contemporary architecture, while natural stone, muted finishes and carefully integrated lighting maintain a calm and understated atmosphere. A fireplace anchors the sitting room, and a concealed projector transforms the space into a more intimate evening setting once the sun has disappeared beyond the horizon.
The kitchen and dining area continue the same minimalist aesthetic, combining dark finishes and warm wood with expansive glazing facing the sea. Positioned directly beside one of the principal terraces, the dining space remains naturally connected to the outdoors, where shaded seating areas and long stone walkways move gradually through the gardens toward the cliffside edge.
Accommodation includes three ensuite bedrooms arranged across the two levels of the villa. The ground-floor suites open directly onto the terraces and gardens, while the upper-level bedroom enjoys greater elevation and wider coastal views. Throughout the house, the emphasis remains on privacy, light and the relationship between the interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.
Outside, the heated infinity pool stretches toward the sea in a single clean line, appearing almost suspended above the coastline below. A separate jacuzzi sits slightly apart from the main terrace beneath mature olive trees, while the landscaped grounds retain a natural softness that contrasts with the villa’s contemporary geometry. Stone paths move quietly through the gardens toward shaded corners overlooking the water, where only the sound of the sea reaches the property below.
Although completely private, the villa remains within easy reach of Corfu Town, the marina and several beaches along the island’s western coastline. Advanced systems including underfloor heating and cooling, solar panels, security cameras and smart-home integration are discreetly incorporated throughout the property without disturbing its calm architectural simplicity.
By late evening, the terraces become almost silent apart from the movement of the trees above the shoreline, while the final light reflects softly across the surface of the pool and open sea beyond.

Ianthe

Where the mountain above Barbati reaches the sea, a headland divides the shore into two small coves. Almare is built into that headland — two levels of full-height glass and open terraces descending to a pool at its base and a jetty reaching into the shallows below.
The main floor opens as a single room facing the water — living area, kitchen island, and dining table in sequence, the glass along the full elevation sliding back onto the terrace beyond. The kitchen runs in matte black cabinetry along the back wall, with a marble island and splashback in white and grey; the flooring is pale and cool underfoot. Inside and outside, at this level, are the same room.
From the roof terrace, the coast curves north toward Kassiopi and the lights come on one by one.
Each of the four ensuite bedrooms opens through floor-to-ceiling glass onto its own terrace facing the sea. The morning light comes off the water directly into the rooms, early and unhurried.
The pool sits at the lowest level of the house, an infinity edge over the sea, with the pebble beach and the jetty reachable by steps from the terrace beside it. Sun loungers line the pool surround and a jacuzzi sits on the terrace above. The roof terrace is the quieter space — a built-in concrete bar, rattan stools, the glass balustrade open to the water, and after dark the lights of the coast strung low across the horizon.
The jetty extends from the base of the rocks into water clear enough to see the bottom.
The restaurants and beach tavernas of the north-east coast are within a few minutes; beyond them, the coast road continues north through Nissaki and Kalami toward Kassiopi.
This property is eligible for both the Golden Visa and the Greek Non Dom Program.
