About this property
A majestic villa on the hillside boasting unforgettable sea views, Villa Ipsos is a luxurious home for your holiday in paradise!
Its distinctive stone exterior offers a brilliant welcome as you arrive, while the interiors echo the charm and tradition of this elegant facade! In your gorgeous lounge you’ll find several sofas placed around the fireplace and a large TV. With a Wii console, the kids will be just as happy as you are with a stay in this spectacular villa - with hours of entertainment at their fingertips! Meanwhile the first dining table sits alongside the stunning lounge area. Slightly separated, the kitchen extends away from the living/dining room and welcomes you into a beautiful modern space, with white fittings contrasting wonderfully with the deep black surfaces, and all the mod cons you could wish for! A breakfast table sits in its centre, perfect for more casual snacks and meals, while there’s a dining room on the lower floor for more formal occasions!
On this ground floor there’s a fantastic space equipped for wheelchair users, with a disabled access bathroom and a single bedroom. Throughout the rest of the villa you’ll find four more majestic bedrooms, each incredibly spacious and beautifully finished. The master suite has a gorgeous sofa looking out over the sea, via a gorgeous outdoors seating area, while the remaining three bedrooms all feature private terraces, too, apart from the lower-ground floor twin which has direct garden access! Get settled in these incredible balconies, complete with the perfect spot for your morning coffee, or a glass of wine as you enjoy the sun set, gazing out over this rich, vibrant landscape, and the Ionian Sea in the distance! Each bedroom has an ensuite or nearby bathroom, and all of them are lovely and unique, including colourful tiling and painting and large showers!
Beyond your many incredible bedroom balconies, there’s also the sublime main garden! Boasting a beautiful private pool at its heart, you’ll find fabulous shade amid the fragrant trees and pergolas, as well as tons of loungers out in the sunshine for soaking up that vitamin D! Nearer to the villa, meanwhile, there’s a superb alfresco dining area, as well as yet more casual spots for a coffee, all with breath-taking views over the Ionian Sea and its striking mountainous backdrop.
Atop the hillside in Spartilas village, looking over the breath-taking bay below, Villa Ipsos is in the perfect location for a holiday of beaches, scenic restaurants, quiet coffees by the sea and of course fun on this lively island!
Surrounded by olive trees and far away from the action, you could easily spend the whole break in this rural paradise very happily! But tear yourself away from the stunning villa and discover the island of Corfu.
Right here on your doorstep is Spartilas, an exclusive area offering you all kinds of amenities to make your day-to-day just that bit easier! And only a few minutes away is the main village of Barbati, with a bigger choice of eateries and shops. You’re also only 15 minutes from Barbati beach, one of Corfu’s most scenic, with fantastic views across the sea and over to Corfu Town!
Look left to admire where the incredible Albanian coastline meets with the Greek mainland over the stunning Ionian Sea. Meanwhile, the view to the right is the incredible Corfu town, a historically fascinating site of battles and subsequent restorations, with impressive fortifications! Its complex history and architecture has seen the Old Town awarded unesco World Heritage site status, and you’ll see why when you visit! In these impressive structures there are still traces of the Venetian occupation, including the Old Citadel and the New Fort. But many years of restoration, periodically, have given it an altogether more interesting appearance, with clear British influence and a real mixture of styles from across the 19th and 20th centuries.
If it’s more sun, sea and sand you’re after, head to any of the incredible beaches on your doorstep! The local Ipsos beach, with world-famous parasailing, fun inflatables for the kids and plenty of life, is under 15 minutes away. While there are countless more unmissable spots along the coast.
For some real culinary delights, be sure to tuck into some of the classic Greek cuisine while you’re here, including the local speciality of plums, which you will find in abundance across the island, and are included in foods ranging from sweets to pork! Feta and olive oil are also universal, while all kinds of fresh fish, fragrant herbs, in-season fruits and crunchy greens, all found in the back garden of the average Greek, await your enjoyment. The food of Greece is famous for its rich flavours and delicate recipes of Mediterranean delights, and Corfu is no different!
