Villas in Corfu

Green hills, Venetian forts and cricket on the square

Corfu is the greenest of the Greek islands, covered in olive groves and cypress trees, and the most cosmopolitan, shaped by four centuries of Venetian rule, a brief French period and fifty years as a British protectorate. Corfu Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and cricket is still played on its great square. It is also the island the Durrell family made famous, and its north-east coast has been a favourite with British families ever since.

Our Corfu collection runs to 290+ villas, from stone houses above the coves of the north-east coast to contemporary villas with infinity pools facing the mountains of Albania across the strait.

Here is where to stay, when to go and what to do.

Venetian forts and the Liston

Corfu Town has two Venetian fortresses, a maze of lanes and the Liston, an arcade built by the French and modelled on the Rue de Rivoli, facing the Spianada where cricket is played on summer weekends. South of town, the Achilleion palace was built for Empress Elisabeth of Austria.

The North-East Coast

Kassiopi, Kalami and Agios Stefanos

The north-east coast, looking across the strait to Albania, is the classic villa coast: pebble coves with clear water, harbour tavernas and villas among the olive trees. Kalami, where Lawrence Durrell lived in the White House in the 1930s, Agios Stefanos and Kassiopi are among the loveliest spots.

Why book your Corfu villa with Excellence Luxury Villas

The right house, not the nearest one

Corfu's villas range from coves on the north-east coast to hills above the west, and we know which are close to the water. With 290+ properties in Corfu, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.

Book direct

You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access roads, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.

A concierge who knows the territory

Private boats to the coves and to Paxos, a private chef, guided walks, car hire and transfers from the airport. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.

A house for every kind of party

Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
