Just 2km from the east coast village of Benitses, Villa Jacaranda Lilac provides the ideal base for a large group visiting Corfu. Within a 20-minute drive of the airport and Corfu Town, this idyllic ocean-view villa can accommodate up to 10 guests and impresses with its 45 sq m private pool and garden terrace.

The house enjoys pretty and peaceful surroundings, with gardens of citrus and olive trees offering some wonderfully relaxing areas, including a dining area and barbecue. A large pool terrace is lined with sun loungers and there are hammocks and seating outside too. A covered dining area is just steps away from the pool, and there’s another attractive space on the extensive upper terrace above, with a delightful view of the Ionian Sea.

The rooms inside offer direct access to the terraces, so you can weave in and out as you please. On the ground floor, you have a living room with fireplace and TV, along with a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are downstairs, including a twin room and the master bedroom which features a king-size bed and an en suite bathroom.

Upstairs, you will find the main indoor dining space which can seat up to 10, and opens out onto the upper terrace. There is a comfy seating area on this level, along with a bathroom and two more bedrooms – a king and a twin room, both with a wonderful sea view. All the bedrooms have luxurious Coco-Mat beds, while an additional two guests can be accommodated on sofa-beds in the living room.

Fully air-conditioned and equipped with satellite TV, Wi-Fi, coffee machine and a whole lot more, the villa is comprehensively equipped as well as cleanly designed. You will also benefit from onsite parking and regular cleaning, garden and pool maintenance.

A former fishing village, Benitses is just minutes away, and has a variety of restaurants, bars and traditional Greek tavernas to try, including the highly-rated fish restaurant, Klimataria. It won’t take long to reach local landmark Achilleion, a grand Royal house and gardens, or Corfu town’s own historic houses and fortresses. Other scenic highlights including Halikounos Beach and Lake Korission are also within a 30-minute drive of Benitses.
