Each bedroom has an ensuite or nearby bathroom, and all of them are lovely and unique, including colourful tiling and painting and large showers!
Beyond your many incredible bedroom balconies, there’s also the sublime main garden! Boasting a beautiful private pool at its heart, you’ll find fabulous shade amid the fragrant trees and pergolas, as well as tons of loungers out in the sunshine for soaking up that vitamin D!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa IpsosAtop the hillside in Spartilas village, looking over the breath-taking bay below, Villa Ipsos is in the perfect location for a holiday of beaches, scenic restaurants, quiet coffees by the sea and of course fun on this lively island!
Surrounded by olive trees and far away from the action, you could easily spend the whole break in this rural paradise very happily! But tear yourself away from the stunning villa and discover the island of Corfu.
Right here on your doorstep is Spartilas, an exclusive area offering you all kinds of amenities to make your day-to-day just that bit easier! And only a few minutes away is the main village of Barbati, with a bigger choice of eateries and shops. You’re also only 15 minutes from Barbati beach, one of Corfu’s most scenic, with fantastic views across the sea and over to Corfu Town!
Look left to admire where the incredible Albanian coastline meets with the Greek mainland over the stunning Ionian Sea. Meanwhile, the view to the right is the incredible Corfu town, a historically fascinating site of battles and subsequent restorations, with impressive fortifications! Its complex history and architecture has seen the Old Town awarded UNESCO World Heritage site status, and you’ll see why when you visit! In these impressive structures there are still traces of the Venetian occupation, including the Old Citadel and the New Fort. But many years of restoration, periodically, have given it an altogether more interesting appearance, with clear British influence and a real mixture of styles from across the 19th and 20th centuries.
If it’s more sun, sea and sand you’re after, head to any of the incredible beaches on your doorstep! The local Ipsos beach, with world-famous parasailing, fun inflatables for the kids and plenty of life, is under 15 minutes away. While there are countless more unmissable spots along the coast.
For some real culinary delights, be sure to tuck into some of the classic Greek cuisine while you’re here, including the local speciality of plums, which you will find in abundance across the island, and are included in foods ranging from sweets to pork! Feta and olive oil are also universal, while all kinds of fresh fish, fragrant herbs, in-season fruits and crunchy greens, all found in the back garden of the average Greek, await your enjoyment. The food of Greece is famous for its rich flavours and delicate recipes of Mediterranean delights, and Corfu is no different!

The Island/Getting There

And if you’re in need of a cosy abode, take a look at our flawless villas in Corfu.

And don’t worry - there’s tons of shade in the garden to keep the little ones out of the sunshine and still enjoy being outdoors together!
And it’s not just the pool that will get them excited! This fabulous table tennis set, as well as little toys for the youngsters, promises fun, activity and maybe even a bit of competition for the kids and big kids alike! Meanwhile the lower-level of the garden promises space for the kids to run and frolic to their heart’s content, with countless scenic spots for you to keep half an eye on them - whilst admiring the views yourself!
And there’s no doubt Corfu has plenty of opportunities for families to make incredible memories together. The water sports on offer throughout the surrounding Ionian Sea are second-to-none, with plenty of water-skiing, scuba diving, jet-skiing, e-foiling, stand up paddle boarding and so much more! The very local Ipsos Beach is an incredible spot for some parasailing, so whether you’re trying it for the first time or you’re an old hand brushing up on your skills, why not give it a go while you’re here? Glyfada Beach is well known as a great all-rounder beach, while Ipsos is brilliant for parasailing, and is a lively spot with plenty of activity going on! Corfu is also a fantastic spot for a sail, so do give it a try during your stay for a unique experience!
Or, if you fancy a trip to the south coast, why not pay a visit to Messonghi Beach with its many water sports on offer. It’s ideal as you’ll also find plenty of eateries around it - so if you’d rather, the kids can get their fill of activity while you settle in for an altogether more relaxed afternoon!
And there’s tons more land-based opportunities if the sea and beaches aren’t so much for you and the kids. The incredible Corfu Trail runs for 150km along the length of the island, from Kavos to Agios Spiridonas, providing plenty of inspiration for you to get out on a lovely walk with the kids. Just be sure to take a picnic with you so you can take a seat, a bite to eat and admire the incredible views across the sea, the many islands of Greece and the vibrant landscapes of Corfu!
