Villa Eleonas

What was once an olive mill built in 1740 has been recently refurbished into a cool and characterful luxury villa, just 5km from shops and restaurants in Corfu Town. There’s a taverna next door for traditional Corfiot dining, plus you can even have home-cooked meals delivered straight to your door  at your convenience. Entrance to this charming villa is down a path at the centre of the lawned gardens peppered with majestic olive trees; at the end of the path is a very inviting private pool and through an archway there’s a wonderful al fresco dining area with a pizza oven and BBQ covered by a leafy pergola. Inside, the villa has been exquisitely decorated with ornate mirrors and tasteful works of art. Accommodation is all on one level featuring a large living room with high beamed ceilings and access to the terrace, a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast table and a cosy library. There are three delightful bedrooms comprising two double rooms with king size beds with a shared shower room which can be set up as twin bedrooms. Then there is the master bedroom which is beautifully decorated with an antique Louis 14th bed equipped with a custom French Bultex mattress and its own shower room en suite.  

This villa is perfect for guests who enjoy hiking as there is a beautiful Italian pine forest just minutes away, plus a multitude of hiking trails. Meanwhile, there are amazing beaches on both the east and west coast of the island within easy driving distance.
