Romance and style meet modern eco-friendly design at this sublime estate. Villa Yaliskari sits within a 7-acre olive grove in a haven of wilderness on Corfu’s west coast. Magical views of the sea, mountains, and the little island of Kyriadiki abound. The closest beach is only a few minutes walk away. It’s a wonderful location, not just for a holiday, but also for a wedding or special celebration.
The estate is stylish and smart, exhibiting an interior designer’s flair for detail. The house is largely built of classic materials that have been restored, imbuing the modern design with a sense of history. Ancient stones and traditional bricks contrast with the wall of glass. Cypress wood, used for beamed ceilings and upper floors, fills the house with its subtle perfume. The property features a private home cinema, jacuzzi and sauna. Down below, a glass section of flooring in the living room highlights the circular wine bar beneath.
Five sweeping stone arches support the grand verandah. There's a welcoming shaded dining spot, running along the front of the house. On a lower terrace guests can recline on double-width white-cushioned sunbeds and take a refreshing dip in the infinity pool. At the back of the house, shaded from the midday sun, is a Moroccan-style garden. With citrus trees, stately palms, tropical flowers and herbs it has a subtropical feel. Relax here on the comfortable sofas, lounge in the hammocks or unwind in the hot tub. Later enjoy the dinner prepared by a private chef with fresh ingredients, homemade treats and a choice of places to eat.
