About this property
Stay in a seafront villa overlooking the azure waters of the Ionian Sea, when you vacation in Villa Pear, on the west coast of the Greek island of Corfu. This bijou villa has two ensuite double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to six guests, ideal for a family holiday or a small group of friends get-together. The detached Villa Pear is built over one storey, cleverly designed in a symmetrical style with the living space in the middle and a bedroom on either side. The property comes complete with private parking, and complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout.
The villa is set in a small resort of luxury properties and apartments, surrounded by lush grounds and gardens, and panoramic sea views. Villa Pear has its own private swimming pool and is a short walk to the nearest soft sandy beach and crystal clear waters. The interiors are charmingly modern and comfortable and have a welcoming home-from-home vibe.
Enter the villa to find a light and airy open-plan living space, with floor-to-ceiling sea view picture postcard windows that give access to the pool terrace. The seating area has a large L-shaped sofa bed, which can sleep up to two guests, handy coffee tables, and a flat-screen smart television, with a DVD and CD player for your entertainment. There is a wood and white modern kitchen, fully equipped with all the appliances you will need to cater for your holiday. A four-seater informal dining set is perfect for meeting for breakfast and discussing the day’s plans. On one side of the villa is a bedroom with a well-appointed sea view bedroom, with a queen size and an ensuite marble shower room, with a hand basin and WC. On the other side is a mirror-image bedroom, with convertible twin beds.
The exterior has a generous tiled sweeping sea view terrace, with a centrepiece step-entry swimming pool. Under a shady pergola sits cushioned wooden sun loungers, perfectly positioned to absorb those mesmerising views. As the sun sets take your place at the six-seater dining set, feast alfresco from dishes freshly grilled on the barbeque, and raise a toast to the most memorable holiday.
Villa Pear can be found nestled high into the hillside of the authentic Greek village of Pelekas, on the west coast of the island of Corfu, boasting uninterrupted views over the azure blues of the Ionian Sea, The villa is a scenic fifteen-kilometre drive from the international airport of Ioannis Kapodistrias, across the island’s countryside. In the village, you will find mini marts stocked with provisions to cater for your holiday and local tavernas where you can enjoy traditional Corfiot dishes.
The nearest beach of Pelekas is only one hundred and fifty metres from the villa, and a great starting point to explore the myriad of beautiful beaches that populate the west coast, including the area's picturesque Paleokastritsa, noted for its sandy shores and crystal clear waters. For watersports head to Glyfada and Kontogialos, for peace and quiet try Ermones, and for families, you can’t beat Agios Gordios.
The island offers a whole host of activities to keep you fit on holiday, including hiking, mountain biking, cycling, yoga, walking tours, snorkelling and scuba diving, horse riding, water rafting, and sailing. For those who want to practice their swing, an international golf course is only six kilometres from the villa.
The unesco World Heritage site of Corfu old town is well worth a visit and is only thirty-five kilometres from the villa. The old town can be traced back to ancient Greece, with thousands of years of history, Venetian architecture, French influences, and English rule. Follow the winding streets to discover fortresses and palaces, Byzantine and Archaeological museums, destination squares, thirty-seven churches and a cathedral, souvenir shops, and a whole host of inviting restaurants, cafes, and bars. Visit Achilleion Palace, once the summer home of Sisi, Elizabeth, Empress of Austria, or take a trip to Mon Repos Palace, the original summer residence of the King of Greece, and birthplace of Prince Philip.
Get a taste of Corfu with an olive oil or wine tour, sample the delights, and then take some home with you. If it’s nightlife you are after, many of the beach clubs offer after-sundown sets, top of the list is Pazuzu Club in Glyfada or Fabrica at Acharavi. Party until dawn at the holiday hot spot destinations of Sidari, Acharavi or Kavos, or take a gamble at the Corfu Casino. Venture further afield with a trip to Benitses Bay, where you can take daily boat trips, cruise along the shore, or island hop to Paxoi and Antipaxoi, tiny islets in the Ionian Sea.
