Villa Roxane | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Kira Chrisikou

Fourteen guests across six bedrooms. A private pool overlooking the Ionian Sea. Mountains rising behind, Gouvia Marina glittering four kilometres below. This is the kind of luxury villa rental Corfu delivers when the setting matters as much as the square footage.

Villa Roxane sits on the Kyra Chrisikou hillside, where olive and cypress trees create a landscape that feels removed from everyday life yet remains within minutes of everything worth doing on this northeastern corner of the island. The architecture balances traditional Corfiot character with the kind of contemporary comfort that makes large groups actually want to stay together.

Inside Villa Roxane

Villa Roxane sleeps 14 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, with a seven-person maximum possible using the additional double sofa bed in one bedroom.

The ground floor opens with a generous lounge featuring substantial seating, a piano, and a flatscreen television—the kind of social anchor where conversations naturally gravitate after dinner. Adjacent, the dining area accommodates the full party with proper spacing between chairs. The kitchen runs along one side, fully equipped with integrated appliances, a breakfast bar for casual mornings, and a coffee maker that sees heavy use from 6 a.m. onwards.

The bedroom layout spreads across the villa strategically. The master suite features a king-size bed with its own ensuite bathroom and direct views toward the water. A second king bedroom sits nearby with ensuite facilities. Two queen bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, provide flexibility for couples or singles preferring their own space. The fourth queen bedroom includes a double sofa bed, expanding sleeping options for families. A fifth bedroom with a king bed connects to a shared bathroom for guests who don’t require ensuite privacy. Finally, the sixth bedroom completes the accommodation with additional queen beds.

Each bathroom follows practical design: full shower or bath enclosures, heated towel rails, and the kind of mirror lighting that actually works. Bathrooms 1 through 6 service each ensuite bedroom, with the shared bathroom providing additional capacity for the king bedroom without ensuite access.

Air conditioning units throughout maintain comfort during warm months. Central heating activates in shoulder seasons—April through May and September through October—when evenings cool considerably. Wi-Fi penetrates every room (essential for groups managing different agendas). A washing machine handles the inevitable laundry loads.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The pool dominates the garden experience. Fifteen metres long by six metres wide, it’s substantial enough for actual swimming—not paddling. Water temperature adjusts via heating system, extending comfortable swimming into spring and autumn months when air temperature drops. The surrounding deck provides sun lounger placement without crowding, and the landscaped gardens create natural sight-lines that make the space feel larger than its footprint.

A covered alfresco dining area operates year-round, fitted with a substantial table and chairs. The porch offers a secondary seating zone, perfect for morning coffee or evening aperitifs as light changes across the Ionian. Sun loungers position themselves throughout the terraces—twelve in total—allowing guests to follow shade through the day or position for sunset viewing.

The views extend considerably. South reveals sea perspectives across Gouvia Marina toward the Albanian coast. East and west, mountains create a protective frame. The cypress and olive trees provide both privacy screening and the occasional rustle of wind that reminds you this is an island location, not an inland estate.

Location: Kyra Chrisikou and the Surrounding Area

Villa Roxane occupies one of Corfu’s most strategically positioned micro-locations—far enough from development to feel genuinely secluded, close enough to everything that spontaneous activities don’t require military planning.

Gouvia Marina sits 4 kilometres downhill, a working port filled with fishing boats, sailing yachts, and waterfront tavernas. This is where you rent a boat for the day (local operators include Corfu Boat Rentals and several independent skippers who work from the marina), or where you simply sit with ouzo and watch the maritime traffic. The marina’s restaurants serve fresh catch daily—Taverna Gouvia and To Petrino are local institutions—typically open 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., depending on season.

Gouvia Beach itself—approximately 5 kilometres away—offers a different experience: a crescent of organised sand backed by family-friendly facilities and the kind of casual beach bars that operate May through September. It’s less dramatic than Corfu’s western cliffs, but considerably more accessible and reliable for young children.

Dassia Beach, 6 kilometres south, curves for nearly two kilometres with fine sand and shallow entry points. Multiple family-run beach clubs rent parasols and offer water sports: jet skis, paddleboards, banana boat rides. The beach road contains several supermarkets (Masoutis at 6.5 kilometres is the nearest major grocery) and casual restaurants serving everything from souvlaki to fresh fish grills.

Kontokali Bay, 3.5 kilometres northwest, provides a quieter alternative—a protected cove where kayaking offers excellent options for exploring rock formations and small caves. Local kayak operators (Corfu Kayak Adventures) offer guided tours departing mornings, typically 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Corfu Town—the island’s capital—sits approximately 10 kilometres south, a 12-minute drive down the main road. The Old Town itself, a UNESCO protected site, showcases 16th and 17th-century Venetian architecture, narrow streets that reward slow walking, and museums including the Byzantine Museum and Museum of Asian Art. The Spianada is Europe’s largest esplanade, hosting a farmers market on Saturday mornings (worth the trip for local produce and fresh herbs). The Liston—the arcaded building overlooking the Spianada—contains cafés where three generations of families have watched people pass.

Corfu International Airport “Ioannis Kapodistrias” sits 3 kilometres further south (approximately 13 kilometres total from Villa Roxane), with a standard transfer time of 15-20 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. Multiple car rental agencies operate from the airport, essential if you plan to explore beyond walking distance. Alternatively, arrange villa transfers through Excellence Luxury Villas (included in many packages).

The surrounding mountains offer serious cycling opportunities: the route from Kyra Chrisikou through Paleokastritsa (20 kilometres west) winds through villages where time seems optional, past mountain villages like Lakones perched impossibly on cliff faces. Walking routes penetrate the interior, including trails through the Pantokrator Mountain region (the island’s highest peak at 914 metres, roughly 20 kilometres north, offering views into Albania and across the Adriatic on clear days).

Dining extends well beyond the marina. The villages dotting the interior—Giannades, Agios Markos, Kato Garouna—each contain family tavernas serving traditional Corfiot food: pastitsada (rooster braised in red wine and tomato), sofrito (beef rolled in herbs), and fresh fish prepared simply. Most operate April through October, opening 7 p.m. onwards, though winter months see reduced schedules. For fine dining with international technique, Etrusco (8 kilometres south in Corfu Town) and La Famiglia (6 kilometres, also in town) maintain consistent standards.

Seasonal timing matters. May through September delivers warm, stable weather with sea temperatures 22-26°C. July and August bring peak heat (often 30-32°C) but also peak tourists. April, May, September, and October offer the sweet spot: warm enough for swimming and outdoors living, cool enough for midday exploration without melting. Winter (November through March) sees rainfall and cooler temperatures (10-15°C), though sunny days still appear regularly. The Aqualand water park (7 kilometres, seasonal April-October) and Pyramid Adventure Park (5 kilometres, year-round) provide backup activities for families when beach days aren’t possible.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families benefit most from Villa Roxane’s architecture. Three generations—grandparents, adult children, teenagers, and younger cousins—find enough bedrooms and bathrooms that privacy isn’t sacrificed. The kitchen operates smoothly for multiple cooks, and the dining table accommodates everyone without forcing conversation across seats.

Groups of friends (particularly those celebrating milestones: 40th birthdays, anniversaries, reunions) appreciate the scale without formality. The mix of ensuite bedrooms and a shared bathroom option means budget flexibility. The lounge and pool area provide natural gathering spaces without forcing constant proximity.

Corporate groups and team retreats fit the layout well, though the setting tilts toward leisure rather than business (limited conference facilities, though Wi-Fi supports video calls). Small luxury tour operators occasionally block the villa for curated group experiences.

Couples occasionally rent Villa Roxane for events—weddings, vow renewals, significant anniversaries—using multiple bedrooms for family participation. The outdoor spaces suit small gatherings of 25-40 people with simple event structuring.

Solo travellers and pairs should consider whether paying for six-bedroom capacity aligns with their budget, though off-season rates shift economics favorably.
