About this property
Villa Kastania is located in a truly privileged, elevated position a short distance inland from the iconic and magnificent Corfu Town. With panoramic views to die for, a larger than average private ‘beach effect’ swimming pool and charming and stylish interiors, Villa Kastania ticks all the boxes and more for a wonderful family holiday.
Recently refurbished and boasting a large open plan living space on the first floor, with huge glass windows and doors affording magnificent 180 degree views out towards the south-east coastline of Corfu from the spacious balcony, your days here at Villa Kastania are likely to be spent gazing in awe at this mesmerising vista. The interiors of this spacious family home are simply vast, with 3 good sized bedrooms on the second floor, and a spacious attic room on the top level, as well as an extremely comfortable and spacious living space and bedroom (with 2 extra beds) downstairs on the ground level, where expansive glass doors lead out to the attractive gardens and private swimming pool.
When you can drag yourselves away from the beautiful exteriors there are numerous fabulous beaches, many of which can easily be reached in less than 15 minutes by car, including Agios Gordis, Kontogialos and Benitses. If dining out in beachfront restaurants is your thing and sampling freshly caught fish, you could not possibly be in a better place, as the fish tavernas in nearby Bouchari and Prassoudi are amongst the best on the island and both can be reached in less than twenty minutes by car.
Kastania is a traditional village located only 6km from the island's capital, Corfu Town. Corfu Town itself is a unesco World Heritage sight, and is a truly fabulous town to visit at any time of the day. Its famous cobblestoned streets and its quaint shops make of this town a lovely place, worth of just wandering around for an afternoon.
There are a number of restaurants and well stocked supermarkets near to Kastania, as well as a number of traditional Greek 'souvlaki' places! Giannitsis Restaurant is very popular among local, serving classic and tasty grill dishes - their lamb being one of the most popular dishes.
For beaches, the nearest serviced beach is Perama, where you will also find a couple of traditional tavernas and boat rental. There are a huge number of more beautiful beaches nearby, including those in the west coast, such as Kontogialos or Agios Gordios (which features an old shipwreck!).
