About this property
You’ll be charmed when you holiday at Villa Agni Estate, an original and authentic stone house on the exclusive northeast coast of Corfu, in the heart of the Ionian Sea. This impressive property is perfectly positioned perched on the top of a hillside, with a path that slopes down to the shore, and gives direct access to the crystal clear waters of the sea.
Villa Agni Estate has four luxurious ensuite bedrooms and can accommodate up to eight guests, ideal for a large family or friends get-together. The villa is part of a larger estate, and for larger groups, adjacent properties can be rented together. This exquisite stone property is set in its own grounds, with rocks hewn out of the hillside, tall pine trees for shade, and breathtaking panoramic sea views. The villa has its own private parking garage and includes complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. The interiors are spacious, the property is richly furnished, and decorated in a stylish palette of contemporary muted colours. The ambience is light and airy, an escape from it all holiday living, in the most serene and peaceful setting.
Villa Agni Estate has an elegant living space, with a main seating area that has two soft blue sofas, contrasting armchairs, coffee and side tables, all facing an open fire and flat screen television, housed under a pretty blue and white chandelier. There is a super swish modern television room, with a white sofa, flat screen TV, and an adjacent bar, ideal for cocktails before supper. The galley-style black and white kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a family-size fridge freezer, and a built-in oven and hob. The kitchen has an informal dining set, the perfect place for breakfast. If you wish to work on holiday there is also a dedicated study area. The four spacious double-bedroom suites are beautifully appointed, some with their own sitting areas, flat-screen televisions, French doors with billowing curtains that lead onto the terrace, and large ensuite bathrooms, complete with baths or showers.
Prepare to be wowed by the simply stunning tiled and hardwood sun terrace, as far as the eye can see sea views. The step-entry infinity swimming pool takes centre stage, complete with a built-in circular Jacuzzi, where you can sip Champagne as you watch the boats sail by. Rattan-style deep cushioned sun loungers with matching shady parasols surround the pool. Soft seating areas are ideal for a morning coffee catch-up or a snooze in the shade. For those who want to keep fit, there’s a well-equipped gym, and for those who’d rather relax, you can sweat your worries away in the traditional hammam. After all that hard work, meet at sunset for sundowners in the exterior covered bar, before feasting alfresco at the outdoor dining set, and raising a glass of local wine to the most memorable holiday.
Villa Agni Estate has the prime position on a promontory on a hillside overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea. Located on the northeast coast of the Greek island of Corfu, the property is just a fifteen-minute walk to the nearest village. The villa is a scenic forty-five minute drive from the international airport of Ioannis Kapodistrias, along the island’s coastline. If you are island hopping, there are two ports in Corfu town and a thirty-kilometre journey to your destination.
In the village, you will find supermarkets stocked with provisions to cater for your holiday, and local tavernas where you can enjoy traditional Corfiot dishes. Most especially Agni is famous for the freshly caught seafood, best eaten by the seashore. The estate comes with a concierge service that can arrange anything from private tours and boat trips to your own chef, and in-villa spa treatments. The villa benefits from a path that leads straight to the sea, and the nearest beach can be found in the village of Agni, with sunbeds, a dive centre, crystal clear waters that make it ideal for snorkelling, and a small boat jetty for trips around the bay.
Corfu has two hundred and seventeen kilometres of coastline, that is populated with beautiful organised beaches, including the recommended Chalikouna, Alonaki Bay, Halikouna, Paleokastritsa, Glyfada, and most notably St George’s in the south, with the longest sandy beach, and fabulous facilities, and do visit the secret beach of Arkoudillas, on the southern tip of the island. For those who want to keep fit, the island offers a whole host of activities, including hiking, mountain biking, cycling, yoga, walking tours, snorkelling and scuba diving, horse riding, water rafting, sailing, and an international golf course too.
Corfu is steeped in ancient and modern history, with ruins and temples two thousand years old, medieval fortifications, Byzantine fortresses, Venetian palaces, Greek Orthodox cathedrals, churches, monasteries, and museums galore. The unesco World Heritage site of Corfu old town is well worth a visit. The old town has thousands of years of history, Venetian architecture, French influences, and English rule, and is only a forty-five minute drive from the villa. Follow the ancient winding streets to discover fortresses and palaces, Byzantine and Archaeological museums, destination squares, thirty-seven churches and a cathedral, souvenir shops, and a whole host of inviting restaurants, cafes, and bars. Visit Achilleion Palace, once the summer home of Sisi, Elizabeth, Empress of Austria, take a trip to Mon Repos Palace, the summer residence of the King of Greece, and the birthplace of Prince Philip, or see the home made famous by Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals.
For the twitchers, the protected Korission Lagoon near the south coast village of Agios Matteos is a must, with over a hundred and twenty bird species, and some notable butterflies, set in sand dunes, its nature’s paradise. Get a taste of Corfu with an olive oil or wine tour, sample the delights, and then take some home with you. If it’s nightlife you are after, many of the beach clubs offer after-sundown sets, top of the list is Pazuzu Club in Glyfada or Fabrica at Acharavi. Party until dawn at the holiday hot spot destinations of Sidari, Acharavi or Kavos, or take a gamble at the Corfu Casino. Venture a few kilometres to Benitses Bay, where you can take daily boat trips, cruise along the shore, or island hop to Paxoi and Antipaxoi, tiny islets in the Ionian Sea.
