Ionian Blue
Area: Central East Corfu, Gastouri Bedrooms: 4 Sleeps: 8
Spacious 4 Bedroom Villa, A/C, Private Pool & Panoramic Sea Views in the Desirable Area of Gastouri
Home to the celebrated Achillion Palace the laid back and appealingly wooded hillsides of Gastouri are considered by many Corfiots to be one of the island’s most affluent and desirable neighbourhoods. Providing inspiration for the house name, remarkable, sweeping sea views directly across to the undulating Greek mainland can be enjoyed from the grounds, balconies and terraces of this wonderfully located property.
Exuding a relaxed and calming ambience, this substantial, simply styled home offers visitors excellent space both inside and out. Larger families, parties of mixed ages or even a group of friends sharing a holiday together, will also appreciate the options created by having sleeping accommodation distributed across two levels, connected by an internal staircase and with direct access out to the pool and grounds from both floors. A balcony or French doors in most of the principal rooms plus a panoramic window and long terrace off the living room ensure that gorgeous maritime backdrop remains an integral part of holiday proceedings.
Outdoor living is an equal delight. Surrounding the house are attractive grounds, predominantly laid to lawn, a substantial covered barbecue terrace sits to one side and a large, wooden-decked sun terrace inset with a shady citrus tree fringes the private pool.
Family-friendly, the pool has gently shelving access on one side, ideal for younger party members and non-swimmers alike while the irregular, almost dog-leg-shaped design places the deeper swimming space over on the opposite side.
A minimarket for all essentials plus a couple of popular local tavernas can be found at Perama just over 1km downhill with the Achilleon Palace, further tavernas and minimarket at nearby Gastouri (2.6km). Other tavernas and shops as well as numerous tiny beaches are dotted all along the coastal road to Benitses (5.2km) which is home to larger sections of both sand and fine pebble alongside comprehensive amenities. Mon Repos Palace, the bustling port, atmospheric winding streets and arcaded façades of Corfu Town are easily reached in about 20 minutes.
Please note: Part-tiered grounds mean that young children may need supervision.

Visit Mouse Island (Pontikinissi) - Take a trip out to the Kanoni peninsula and enjoy a coffee on the waterfront café there, next to the Vlahernon monastery, which is also an island, but has been connected to the Kanoni peninsula by a small causeway.
