Overview
Villa Demeter, set in a small development of just three villas, yet offers privacy set in a stunning location on the quieter, southwestern side of Corfu. A comfortable and modern villa sleeping 6 with a modern and uncluttered finish. The villa is set out all on one level; with the living accommodation largely open plan. There is a fully fitted kitchen, with all the modern appliances and equipment you will need (oven, hob, fridge, freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, microwave) – the dining area is just next to the kitchen so you can all eat together, without the cook feeling tucked away! The main veranda leads out from the dining room, with a second dining area outside overlooking the pool – great if you want to keep an eye on the little ones while you enjoy a long lunch. Back inside is the sitting room, with its comfortable sofas, Smart satellite TV and pS4 – great distractions if you want to escape the heat of the day.
There are three bedrooms, all with a Coco-Mat sleeping system, have all been finished to a high standard and have the same sleek design as the rest of the villa. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom; while one of the other bedrooms can be made up as either a double or a twin depending on your party’s needs. As the living and sleeping accommodation is all on one level, it really takes advantage of the airy and spacious feel. There are large windows opening up to stunning views of the Adriatic Sea at the front, or the mountains and olive groves at the back of the villa.
Outside, there is a private swimming pool and outdoor shower, gardens with lawn and a play area for children. There are lovely shady spots under the mature trees too – just the place to take a good book and enjoy some peace and quiet. There’s also a superb outside seating section on the terrace immediately outside the main living and dining room – a really great spot from which to enjoy the views out across the pool. This is also where you’ll find the BBQ and covered pergola with a small outdoor kitchen – ideal if you want to head to the nearby town and buy delicious local produce to cook back in the comfort of your private villa.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa DemeterVilla Demeter holds a fantastic location on the untouched southwest side of the island of Corfu, perfect for those looking for a relaxing holiday where guests can enjoy a slower pace of life. The villa is just steps from the isolated Kanouli beach while Halikounas Beach, one of the best in Corfu, is just fifteen minutes away. The closest village, Agios Matheos is a ten-minute car journey away, for those looking to further explore the island, Corfu Town itself is forty-five minutes away.
Halikounas beach is a long, sandy beach, popular amongst kitesurfers, but surprisingly quiet, even in the summer months. It is also home to many rare bird species, due to it's proximity to the natural reserve, Lake Korission. This lake is an unmissable spot when exploring the south side of the island, abounding with not only birds but also plants such as orchids and waterlilies.
At the foot of Gamelion Oros lays the picturesque village of Aghios Matheos with its unique alleys and amphitheatrical layout. A beautiful path with holm oaks connects the village with the Holy Monastery of Pantocrator on the top of the mountain.

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.

How to reach Corfu island
There are two ways to get to Corfu island: either by flight or by ferry.
By plane: During April to October, several direct flights arrive to "Ioannis Kapodistrias" Airport from Europe as Corfu is one of the most popular travel destinations in Greece. During these months, the airport also receives many domestic flights every day from Athens and Thessaloniki.
By ferry: Travelling by ferry is the most popular way of transport in Greece. Ferries to Corfu depart from Patra and Igoumenitsa. If you are travelling from Europe, Corfu is easily accessible by ferry from Venice, Bari, Brindisi or Ancona too. You can easily book your tickets using the link below or the search engine - the port you are looking for is "TBC".
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe beaches of Prassoudi and Kanouli are great for families and provide calm and safe waters. They are also incredibly peaceful, as they remain undiscovered by most of the tourists, and only people nearby visit this area. Both of them are within walking distance too, so you can alternate between the pool and the beach on the same day! Older kids may wish to give kitesurfing a go at one of the local schools- Halikounas beach is very popular due to its windy character.
For days away from the beachs visit one of the local Olive Mills and see how the local olive oil is produced.
Vlacherna Monestry is both interesting and in a stunning locations.
Visit the museum of Casa Parlante, for an insight into the life of Corfu Traders.
If water continues to be an attraction there is Aqualand at Agios Ioannis or take a boat trip out to enjoy the turquoise waters.
