Villa Agnos

In a sought-after location in northeast Corfu, there's a perfect home for a group holiday. The artfully renovated stone house, complete with a tower, sleeps 16-18 people. It stands within 5 acres of ancient olive groves, surrounded by the most beautiful landscape gardens, with lots of outside space. There's a good-sized pool with magnificent views across the Corfu straits to Albania.

The accommodation is split across the main house, the tower and a little cottage within the gardens. Both house and garden evoke English country style, mixed with Mediterranean warmth and colour. The furniture is classic but contemporary, there's an emphasis on comfort with style. The bedrooms are air-conditioned, beds draped with mosquito nets, being practical and providing an air of romance. There’s an open-plan country-style kitchen, dining room and drawing room with exposed stone walls and large glass doors opening to the gardens. In the tower, the guests can enjoy a library. The self-contained cottage has both indoor and outdoor dining spots and a garden area.

The gardens are just made for long, dreamy days. Professionally designed, they are laid out with statuesque cypresses, fruit trees, clipped Mediterranean shrubs, roses and many white and soft lavender flowering plants. There are winding paths, terraces and inviting places to sit, both in sun and shade. Three outdoor dining areas, seating up to 16, with wooden and stone tables, provide a great choice for al fresco meals. A large pool, nestled amongst the planting on a top terrace, is surrounded by inviting cushioned sun loungers, comfy armchairs, a hammock and large sun umbrellas. It really is an idyllic spot. And with the gardens lit up at night, the effect is enchanting.
