Discover our Luxury Holiday Villas in Corfu, Greece

Introduction

Ready to discover Greece’s emerald isle? Effortlessly cool and easily charming, Corfu is the ultimate luxury villa holiday destination, with something for everyone. Whether it’s the style, sun, or sumptuous food, Corfu is a firm favourite for our clients and it is clear why.

Evidence of Corfu’s fascinating history can be seen all over the island, and to help preserve the architecture and historic monuments, including the two forts, Corfu town is on the UNESCO world heritage list.  Spend some time away from your luxury villa rental to discover The Old Fortress. Stroll through tunnels, past abandoned barracks to bastions and look-out points, and at the top of the fortress, you will be greeted with an incredible panoramic view overlooking Corfu Town. Then head into Corfu Town and admire the Venetian architecture before stopping in the main square and watch the world go by from one of the local cafes – bliss.

Corfu during the day is all about boats. There is nothing better than heading out to a nearby bay for the perfect lazy taverna lunch, then stopping to swim in the crystal-clear sea on the way back in the afternoon.

Corfu has been a popular destination of the aristocracy and is still home to some of the most majestic summer residences in Greece, with luxury villas dotted across the island. Whether you are looking for a family-friendly villa with a private pool and plenty of surrounding space to play, or a romantic beachfront villa, we will be sure to find the perfect Corfu villa rental for you and your group. And many Corfu villas sit on the island’s hillsides with expansive sea views, so you can count on a stunning outlook for those evening drinks on the terrace.

We don’t do ordinary here. We are a small team of experienced travel specialists, no request is too big or too small, so please do ask for our advice if you are planning to book a luxury villa in Corfu.

Visit the Canal d’Amour or Love Canal. The rock formations around this area are colourful, crumbly and very unique. There’s a canal here, which leads under the cliff. It’s said that if you swim through, you’ll get married soon. Whether or not that’s true, it’s still one of the most popular things to do in Corfu.

Best Beaches

When to Visit

The summer months are when Corfu really comes alive. The quieter months tend to be April to June, and then the crowds arrive to make the most of the warm weather, warm waters and long summer evenings. September and October are both magical times for Corfu, where you will feel like you have the place to yourself and the temperature is a little cooler.

Getting Here

Corfu has its own airport – Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport. You can also travel by ferry if this is preferred.

Hiring a car is recommended if you want to explore the delights of this incredible island yet it can be extremely busy with long queues at the airport during the summer months. Please do ask our team if you would like a luxury vehicle delivered to your private Corfu villa on arrival.

We recommend hiring a boat for the day to explore the coastline of Corfu and its many bays. Just let us know what you’d like to do and our team will be able to organise something extra special.
