Luxury Villas in Corfu

Corfu Villa Holidays

From bustling family-friendly promenades to rugged, unspoilt wilderness, the Corfu of today blends two worlds: the Kerkyra (as the locals call it) of time-honoured literary works, and the vibrant tourist haven of today. Cobalt blue waters lap golden sands, charming villages are dotted among luscious hilltops, and cobbled streets line ancient towns.

You may have seen Corfu, depicted in popular comedy-drama the Durrell’s (inspired by autobiographical accounts of Gerald Durrell), as a picturesque, rustic Greek island with artistic roots – and it is. With a Unesco-listed main town, warm European hospitality and long, warm summers, mythology and literature ring true (reportedly the Greek God, Odysseus, was soothed by the beauty of Corfu).

Our destination experts have scoured the length and breadth of the island to discover the best intimate hideawaysrural idylls and beachfront locations for our Corfu villa collection.

Why Visit Corfu?

A Grecian getaway is picture-perfect, and Corfu doesn’t disappoint. Although it can be considered a well-trodden island, there’s actually so much more to discover in Corfu than is often considered. Just like many popular European islands, you don’t need to venture far to get a taste of the local Corfu lifestyle, whether that’s bustling food markets and hilltop villages or secluded beaches and the vibrant cultural scene. Plus, long, warm summers mean it’s a year-round destination!
