Stone Villa in Agios Stefanos,Northeast Corfu

Nestled into the hillside, surrounded by wonderful olives trees, cypresses and colourful shrubs, this beautiful family home has a prime position above the pretty harbour resort of San Stefanos. With its elevated position and southerly aspect, it boasts spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and coast across the sea to the Albanian mainland. There is easy access to all amenities and local beaches from here - the tavernas, shops and bars of San Stephanos village are just a 10-minute walk or a 2-minute drive, and all other northeast coast hotspots are also within easy reach – Avlaki Beach 2km, Kerasia Beach 3km with Kassiopi resort and its harbour approx. 4.5km.
The villa is set within a plot of 2,373 sqm that has been fully landscaped to offer wonderful, easily maintained external living spaces and beautiful gardens that are full of a variety of colourful and scented flowers, shrubs, and trees such as bougainvillea, oleander, rosemary as well as lemon trees. With attractive stone walls all around, the outside space is arranged over several levels, with shaded and sunny paved terraces - great areas for just sitting and relaxing or dining alfresco. There is an external kitchen and bar area as well as a private pool of 5m x 10m with paved surround.

Easily accessed by car, an electronic gate gives access to a private driveway that leads down through the wonderful gardens to a parking area and the main villa entrance. There are not enough wonderful words to describe this property, which really must be considered to be one of the most beautiful homes in the area. Full of charm and character, the property has been respectfully renovated and finished to an exceptional level by expert local craftsmen and has an authentic Corfiot country feel to it.

Offering a total of 280 sqm of living space, there is the main stone-built villa that is spread over two levels, as well as a separate guest annex next to the pool. With high, whitewashed beamed ceilings in the main rooms, the ground floor level offers extremely spacious, comfortable, and modern living spaces. There is a large, fully fitted kitchen with central island and dining area that lead into a light, bright and airy living room with fireplace. French doors from both these areas give access to a large, covered terrace. There are two bedrooms on this level (one with access to a terrace) as well as a family bathroom with bathtub and shower and a guest WC.

A beautiful internal staircase leads to the upper level where we find the large master bedroom with its ensuite bathroom that is fitted with a double vanity unit and walk in shower. This master has French windows and a Juliet balcony. There is a further bedroom with an ensuite shower room.

Next to the pool is the guest annex with a double bedroom, dressing room area and ensuite bathroom with shower. French doors in here give access to a terrace. There is a storage area here that if desired, could be reconfigured to create an additional bedroom.
