Standing on a hilltop, overlooking the sea in the middle of the East coast of the pretty island of Corfu, is this exceptional villa. Set in a 20 acre private estate, Villa Paloma enjoys sea views and seclusion, but its location near Gouvia Marina, means that shops, supermarkets and restaurants are all a few minutes’ drive away. Sleeping 8 in 4 bedrooms, which are all en-suite, Villa Paloma provides guests with a properly luxurious stay.

With the shortest of transfers, you can easily gather your group here, as the villa is just 7kms from Corfu airport. Villa Paloma is perfectly located for exploring Corfu town, which is just 10 minutes’ away. The historic capital of the Island, with its elegant buildings, is packed with cultural interest as well as fabulous restaurants and shops. Closer still to the villa, basic amenities are within 0.3km and the nearest town is 0.6km away.

An infinity pool, with open and covered terraces around it, allows the sun seekers in your party to work on their tan, while the shade bathers will be equally happy, and everyone can enjoy the beautiful view of the sea and marina below them. The well-equipped modern kitchen allows you to put together easy meals and the shaded seating and dining areas make the perfect al fresco dining experience possible all day. Aperitifs can be enjoyed in many different areas around the property with the poolside terrace being a favourite.

The elegantly furnished property with its crisp white interior has 4 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, that match the luxury of the bedrooms. One pair of bedroom suites are linked - with access to one suite via the other, which makes them ideal for a couple who can then be close to their children.

If you can tear yourself away from the comfort of your suite, Corfu is truly a wonderland to explore by boat. The only difficulty is deciding in which crystal clear coves to swim and in which restaurant to eat delicious and healthy Corfiot food. Sailing and water sports are readily available near the villa on Corcyra beach and ski clubs will teach beginners and experts alike.

If, however, you would like to enjoy your well-earned relaxation at “home” at Villa Paloma, you will be very happy to re-charge your batteries either in or out of the sun. Streaming movies in the villa’s TV room or reading by the fireplace in the large open plan sitting room, you will soon be buzzing again. Or you may prefer to have a wander around the garden. Set within lush foliage, the property’s gardens and pool are beautifully maintained by a team. In addition, there is maid service, 3 days a week, which means less time running the house and more time to yourself.

This family-friendly residence will enchant you and all generations; younger guests are well catered for which means everyone can unwind and properly enjoy their stay at Villa Paloma.
