Corfu Villas ( Villa Sylva)

Villa Corfu featured in the James Bond film “For your eyes only” and “The Executioner” starring George Peppard and Joan Collins. This unique estate is one of the neighbouring estates to “mon Repos” the summerhouse of the King of Greece, and the birthplace of Prince Philip of Great Britain.

Corfu was not given the name of the Emerald Island for no reason. The greenest of all the Greek islands, Corfu’s natural beauty is hidden under a cloak of emerald green, with a mountainous skyline plunging into the bluest of waters. Elegant architecture, sun blessed beaches, enchanting nightlife and fine cuisine, all play a part in making Corfu one of the most charming islands in Greece. The island has something to offer everyone. Corfu Town itself is a contrasting combination of old and new existing side by side in perfect harmony. There is an abundance of sand, shingle and pebble beaches lining the 200km coastline, leading to clear waters ideal for swimming and water sports. Take a little time to explore the island and you will be rewarded with some of the most spectacular scenery on offer by any destination. A trip into the heart of the island will give you an insight into Corfiot village life. Time, in some places, seems to have stood still and everyday life carries on pretty much as it must have done for hundreds of years. Even though the island is constantly developing, Corfu has still managed to retain its beauty and charm throughout time. The majority of the island remains untouched and as captivating as it has been for centuries. Whether you are looking for the hustle and bustle of nightlife or peace and tranquillity, everything you could need is here, just waiting to be discovered. Kanoni Kanoni (One-Gun Battery), a little square with a superb view. No visitor should miss the experience of the superb and unforgettable view from there, at any time of the day. To the left there are two little islets, each of which has a monastery on it. The nearer one, which can be reached by a causeway, is to The Lady ‘Vlacherna’ and the further one, on Pontikonisi (Mouse Island) is to Pantocrator, and can be reached by boat

Splendidly situated in a prominent position 40 metres above the sea, the Villa has a beautiful panoramic view looking southeast over the Ionian Sea and famous Pondikonissi, or Mouse Island.

Located at the apex of kanoni the Villa is well away from Corfu’s tourist crowds, yet offers easy access to the restaurants and shops of Corfu town, and is only 20 minutes away from the Corfu Golf Club.

The 10 acre estate has beach frontage and beautifully tended gardens filled with shrubs and flowers, and shaded by hundreds of olive and cypresses trees, with bougainvillea, wisteria, plumbago and jasmine. The sun drenched terraces, and breathtaking views over the vast, turquoise-blue sea, and the wonderfully calming swishing of the trees, all fuse together to make this a truly spectacular house.
