Villa Ionica, Corfu

Description

Villa Ionica is a fabulous self-catered retreat and the perfect escape from the world. It’s perched high on a hill in a private estate, surrounded by lush gardens and greenery, giving you a real feeling of privacy. Find yourself in your own island bolthole with 180-degree sea views and endless sunny corners to bask in.

This luxury villa in Corfu has a superb infinity swimming pool and adjoining whirlpool and in-water loungers so you can spend all day in or by the pool enjoying the view, the sea air and the Corfu sunshine.

Inside the villa, a modern-rustic look awaits with exposed brick and contemporary furniture and lighting creating a laid-back, stylish atmosphere. Cool, minimalist bedrooms and spa-style bathrooms give everyone their own place to retreat to. Meanwhile, the communal areas are perfect for socialising, celebrating and being entertained.

Gather in the modern living space and dining area for pre-dinner drinks, or cosy up on the sofa with candles if you happen to get a stormy evening. Or find your own niche among the many rooms available, chilling out in the home cinema and gaming room, relaxing on the terrace with a cocktail, or curled up in a chair with a book on one of the shady terraces.

The villa’s discreet and experienced staff are always on hand, to turn down beds, provide piles of pool towels or arrange golf, massages, yoga classes or whatever takes your fancy.

Looking out of this luxury villa past the still pool, and over the trees to the azure sea beyond, you could feel like you’re the only people in the world. And a little bit of that feeling comes home with you after a stay at Villa Ionica.
