Overview
Villa Chiffon is a charming four bedroom haven and guesthouse nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Corfu, Greece, where the azure waters of the Ionian Sea meet the lush greenery of the island. This delightful villa is set on a private ten acre estate and can accommodate up to nine guests in the everlasting beauty and warmth of Corfu. The villa is eco-friendly, a strong photovoltaic system powers the swimming pool, all the appliances, indoor and outdoor lighting, and the whole property.
Upon entering the villa, guests are greeted by a spacious and tastefully decorated living room, bathed in natural light streaming through large windows that offer panoramic views of the expansive grounds. The plush sofas beckon you to unwind and relax after a day of exploration. Adjacent to the living area is the fully equipped kitchen, complete with modern appliances and a breakfast table, providing the perfect space for preparing and enjoying delectable meals with loved ones. Whether you’re a culinary enthusiast tossing together a Greek Salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, this kitchen and dining space is the hub of the home.
The ground floor is also where guests will find the family bathroom boasting a huge corner bathtub. Ascending to the mezzanine level reveals another elegant dining area (seating ten), complete with minibar and direct patio access.
The main house features three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, each with its unique charm and character. The master bedroom, adorned in soothing colours, features a comfortable queen-sized bed, direct patio access, and ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower.
On the upper floor resides two further bedrooms. Each bedroom has its private staircase one from the ground floor and the other from the mezzanine, ensuring a sense of exclusivity. The first contains a new modern king-size bed, TV, ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, and a private balcony with views over the garden. The adjacent room consists of twin single beds (convertible to a king-size bed), and a furnished private balcony with views over the valley.
Beyond the main house, the guesthouse is a cosy studio complete with its own well-equipped kitchenette, a double-bed space with built-in wardrobe, a lounge area with a sofa (unfolds to a double-sleeper), and a separate full bathroom.
Stepping out into the villa’s sprawling outdoor spaces reveals a sumptuous swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and a shaded dining area – the ideal spot for al fresco meals. The expansive and meticulously landscaped gardens provide a serene backdrop for leisurely strolls or quiet moments among olive groves, fruit trees and cypresses. As the sun sets, gather around the terrace to enjoy the warm Mediterranean breeze and marvel at the changing colours of the Grecian firmament.
Whether you seek tranquillity, adventure, or a blend of both, Villa Chiffon offers a delightful retreat where every moment is an opportunity to create lasting memories on the enchanting island of Corfu.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ChiffonCorfu’s Old Town (25-minute drive) is as charming as any town in the Ionian Sea, which is why there’s no surprise that UNESCO designated the town a world heritage site in 2007. A great option to make sure you don’t miss anything is to take a Corfu Walking Tour, especially if you’re looking for the inside line on little-known bakeries, shops, and tavernas. But if you’d like to make your own way, some things you won’t want to miss is the Church of Saint Spyridon where the island’s patron saint lies in a golden tomb.
Of course, with nearly 60 beaches to choose from, you’ll want to explore Corfu’s sandy strips. Thankfully some of the island’s best beaches are not far from the villa, though if you have a car and are free to explore the island, you’ll be rewarded with secluded spots and beaches that feel almost your own. Nevertheless, close to home you’ll find Benitses Beach with its busy promenade, and further south the lovely Paralia Agios Ioannis Peristeron.
The Achilleion Palace (7-minute drive) is a must for literature lovers. This stunning palace built for the Austrian empress Elizabeth, and features a statue to the poet Lord Byron. The palace was purchased by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1907 and has lived many other lives since then (including an appearance in James Bond’s For Your Eyes Only). Literature lovers will also want to visit the small fishing village of Kalami Bay (58-minute drive) to pay a visit to the famed whitewashed house of British novelist Lawrence Durrell. The house is now a restaurant that serves a great moussaka.
And if this kind of historical gem is up your alley, why not also check out Mon Repos Palace (20-minute drive). Prince Philip was born on the dining-room table of this 19th century villa which was, until 1967, the summer residence of the Greek royal family.
For those whose idea of a holiday is to strap on the hiking boots and hit the dusty trail, why not make for the summit of Mount Pantokrator (1-hour drive). Best advised on cooler days, the mountain boasts fantastic hiking, spectacular scenery, the island’s oldest village, and at the 906m high peak a monastery and café.

The Island/Getting There
One of the largest and greenest of the Ionian Islands, Corfu is far more than its trademark blue-hued seas and sandy coastline. With its UNESCO World Heritage status and unbeatable strolling opportunities, there is no better place to start exploring than the main town and its historic old quarter, where ancient churches, scattered ruins and a handful of museums mean Corfu’s layers of history can be found just about everywhere. And if you’re in need of a cosy abode, take a look at our flawless villas in Corfu.

Best Suited For: All AgesDassia Beach (35-minute drive) is known to be family-friendly, and thanks to its position just north of the main town, there is no shortage of dining options on your way home.

Excellent
Excellent 10 days stay with family. The house matches the description,spacious ,in a very quiet environment, with beautiful views around. The garden and the pool are great and we spent a lot of time there, especially at the end of the day after the beach or tours.

Beautiful
Beautiful, spacious villa with lots of charm and wonderful scenic views. We loved our visit. The kids loved the pool, and I loved to views, the peace, the wild flowers, blossom and the fresh air.
A car is essential if visiting as the villa is quite remote, up very windy, narrow, but manageable roads. The villa had everything we needed (plus more) and Niki was the perfect host, checking we were OK, and helping us very quickly with any questions we had.
